Rosebud County news. [volume] (Forsyth, Mont.) 1901-1906, 1904-07-21

Mrs. w. 1. Church will entertain a
number of young people tomorrow
night in honor of the base ball club.
Mrs. Z. S. Udell and children went
down to Glendive this morning to visit
Mr.. Udell who has been promote d to
dispatcher at that place.
We notice with some amusement
that the Rosebud correspondent to the
Forsyth Times had nothing to say
about the manner in which Will Chois-
ser came into town on July 4th and
pushed old Ten Brooke up for first
place in the quarter mile race. Inas-
much as this feat reflects considerable
credit upon Mr.. Choisser's riding we
consider it worthy of mention. We
understand that all kinds of money
was being flashed against Ten Brooke
until it was learned who would ride
him. Then it was possible to secure,
only one bet of two dollars. We think
we are justified IN specializing that a
correct explanation of why no mention
was made of this matter in the Times
in connection with the other Fourth
news is that Sam and Ira must have
been in ''cahoots'' on the short end of
the two dollar bet.
Stock Inspector Smith of Miles City
has been called upon to assist in the
adjustment of the ownership of horse
and is expected to arrive in town to-
morrow. B. Waddingham turned
horse out Oh the north side some time
ago, before the death of J. H. Austin.
in company with a number of Mr..
Austin's horses, and soon after the
horse turned up missing and could not
be found anywhere. A day or two ago
Lupton .Waddingham spotted the horse
whichwas being used in hauling wool
to market at Forsyth, and took charge
of same, informing the man who was
using the horse that it belonged to his
father. The man objected stating that
he had purchased the horse and had
paid $50. 20 for same, but as Mr.. Wad-
bingham had never received payment
in any form Lupton took the horse ana
J locked him up in a coral. The brand
on the horse had been vented and it is
thought to be the work of a gang oper-
} ating on the north side. The matter
will be probed and some interesting
details are expected to develop.
! Tuesday afternoon three individuals
of the drifting variety came into town
from the west, and their actions being
not of the best character they were
closely watched. Nightwatch Bitle
kept his weather eye on them Tuesday
night and from their actions concluded
that they were planning a holdup or
something of that nature. However
nothing happened during the night
and Mr.. Bitle informed Sheriff North
way and his deputies of the actions of
the trio. During the day yesterday
they visited the stores on various pre-
tences and were especially interested
in the hardware stores, pricing and
examining the stock of guns but pur-
chasing none. About five o'clock yes
terday afternoon Sheriff Northway
concluded it would be for the best in
} terestS of the town to move the bunch
on, and accordingly they were given or
ders to drill, were escorted down the
track some distance by the officers and
; then told to pilot themselves, but mani
tested no very great proclivty for
5 speed; they began abusing the officers
( and even defied them, whereupon they
were brought back and placed in Jail
and a, charge of disturbing the peace
placed against them. One of the fell
: lows, when told he would be placed in
I Jail, took to his heels, thinking to get
away but was overhau1ed by Deputy
X Huff, just as Huff got hold of HIM he
Y threw something from him which was
Z afterwards found and proved to be
false key made out of a piece of steel
wire. Their intention was evil
IDENTIFY to do some light fingered work
in the town but being taken charge of
by the officers their course will be a
different one, it should be year or
two at hard labor.
