Continued from page -

The membership and interest steadily
increased under Mr.. Hamilton's guld-
ance and in May, 1925, funds were
pledged and work begun on the present
Methodist church of which a cut IS
shown in this issue, under the super
vision of building committee COM
posed Of n. Z. Runnals, C. E. Frost, L.
NJ. DollOff, and Israel Lincoln. The
old chapel was moved back and utilized
in building the new church. Preston
Hersey was the architect. This church
was completed at a cost of $1,000 ana
was dedicated January 16, 1896. The
Pittsfeld church compares very favor
ably with the average of church eul-
fees in places no larger than this.
One interesting fact in connection
with the dedicatory exercises is the fol-
lowing:
At the close of the dedicatory~ SER
mon, Rev. G. II. Hamilton gave brief
history Of the church enterprise, men
tiOning the various CCnOrs and eXtend-
ing thanks to the members OF the
church and citizens for their generosity
and words of good will. Mr.. Hamilton
announced Tic indebtedness to be

EPIDEM,C OF FIRES.
Three Within an Hour Make Bruins
wick Firemen Busy.

Brunswick. Nc. April 5.-Hrunswick's
fire department was called out for three
fires within short space of time, today.
but fortunately none of these were of a
serious nature and the combined dam
age was comparatively small.
The first alarm was rung in at 11i0 for
small blaze in a shed owned by Mrs.
Durgin on Page street. The fire had
spread considerably whom the departing Mt
reached the scene, owing to the delay iii
turning in the alarm. but one stream OF
water effectively quenchcd it. This fire
was set by Charlie Moody. a boy SIN years
OF age, and when discovered was blazing
mcrrily. the boy having failed to give
the alarm at once. The damage amounted
to about So.
At l2.l5 fire was discovered in barn
at the poor farm buildings and the Struc-
ture was beyond saving when the depart
ment reached it. although the surround
ing property was quickly made sale. Inc
barn and its contents which were quite
valuable. was burned to the ground. cauS-
ing n loss of about $1,000. The barn caught
fire from the sparks from an engine on
the Maine Central.
Shortly after this the department was
called to attend to an extensive grass lire
hut this was eXtinguished in d short time
with no damage.

The need of a parsonage was very
when Mr.. Morris came to
Pittsfield. The house formerly used as
a home for the minister had been sold,
and for more than a month no house
could be secured, as suitable rents were
very scarce. The result of this condi-

SHEEP CAMP
BURGLARIZED
John Hill and Joshua Rawton Arrest
ed on Serious Charge Preferred
by Ed. Taylor.
INDUCED IN LITTLE GUN PLAY
Made Clever Escape From Man Who
First Tried to Capture Them
Give Bond for Appearance.

Deputy Sheriff Tullock arrived in
Lewistown Sunday night, having IN
custody John Hill and Joshua Raw
ton, whom he arrested Friday after
noon near Musselshell crossing. The
men are charged with burglary, Ed.
Taylor, a woolgrower living south of
the Snowy mountains, being the COM
planning witness.
Taylor alleges that on the 10th of
March the two men rode up to a
sheep camp of n of his herders,
who were running a band of sheep in
the bad lands, stripped the camp of
everything of value which could be
carried away and then set the tent
aire. The herder saw the smoke
from a distance of several hundred
yards and hurried back to camp. He
arrived in time to save some of his
effects from destruction. Shortly ar.
ter he arrived at the plundered camp
a COW man named Fulcher rode up.
The herder told Fulcher of the dam
age and asked him to ride on over
the hill to see If he could get sight of
the perpetrators of the crime. Full
cher rode along for about four miles
when he came upon Hill and Rawton,
who were off their horses and evil
IDENTIFY making arrangements to each
the goods In a coulee. When he rode
up one of the men hid behind a rock.
Fulcher told the man in sight to load
the goods on his horse, intending to
make him take it back to the camp.
As the fellow moved away to do the
re-loading the mar behind the rock
opened fire on Fulcher. The other
fellow then unloded his cannon and
added a little to the gaiety of the
situation by shooting at the low man.
Fulcher was not prepared to fight it
out with the young bandits, so re-
treated, leaving the field in the pos
session of Hill and Rawton.
The local officers were informed of
the matter a few days later and Tues
day week Deputy Tullock started for
the scene of the difficulty. Friday
afternoon he met Hill in the road and
arrested him. Turning Hill over to
Hunter, whom he had deputized after
he arrived in the lower country, he
went on in the direction of Lodge
Pole. nea where he met Rawton,
whom he also arrested. They start
ed at once for Lewistown, Special
Deputy Hunter accompanying Tul-
lock with his prisoners to this city.
The men feigned surprise when ar
rested and made a talk about there
being some mistake" somewhere.
They were arraigned before Jus.
tice Mcfarland Monday afternoon at
8 O'Clock and pleaded not guilty. Their
bonds were fixed at $500 each and
were furnished with b. F. Lepper as
surety. Their preliminary hearing
was set for Wednesday afternoon.
