HARD LUCK.
Former Baseball Favorite Arrested on
Charge Of Arson.

Wednesday morning Frank Tobin,
erstwhife one of the men whom the
local fans" were inclined to regard
with a favor that almost amounted to
genuine hero worship, was arrested
on a charge Of arson and lodged in
Jail and another chapter occurred in
his downward career.
While still a member OF the last
semi-professional team Tobin was
convicted of attempted assault on a
little girl and for this served a long
sentence in the county pail. After his
release he formed an alliance with
"Dutch Mary" and since then seems
to have Travelled the down grade
rapidly and persistently. He married
the woman and for a time all seemed
as smoothly as man and wife should
and Tobin found himself locked UP
for disturbing the peace. He refused
ito work on the streets and served
his time on a diet of bread and water.
At the expiration Of the Is days when
he gave a modified imitation of the
famous Doctor Tanner act he began
to annoy the woman in various ways
and also made repeated threats
threats was that he would burn her
house, the allegation is made. No
later than Tuesday night, so the story
has it, he repeated this threat, SO
when Mrs. -Tobin's residence was dis
covered to be on fire Wednesday
morning her husband was suspected
Of being responsible and he. was ar
rested.
The fire itself was not very serious,
as it did but little damage. It had
its seat in a bed in one of the rooms
on the lower floor and aside from I'LL
ing the house with smoke and de.
stroying the bed caused small loss.
But the building was soaked with
water, which vas the most serious
part of the occurrence.
Mrs. Tobin has expressed an earnest
desire to file a complaint against her
recreant spouse and claims to have
witnesses to the fact that he threat
ened to do that OF which she now
accuses him, but it seems that direct
proof is lacking. ~ WYE

city met Wednesday, evening in the
! council chamber of the city hall and
perfected a temporary organization.
G. s. Brother was elected president;
Mrs. Kelliher, secretary; Mrs. W. w.
Clark, treasurer. The president ap-
pointed committees on evangelical
work, place OF meeting, finance and
music. A Ladies' Aid society was
also organized, the first meeting OF
which will be held this evening. Ar
engagements are now making for Wis
it's from several missionaries and q
series of meetings will be held within
a short time.
Wednesday evening the Lady Mac
cabees held a public installation OF
officers, conducted by Lady Julia p.
Jones, installing officer. Those in
stalled were: Commander, Lady Ma
shaw; past commander, Lady Kahn;
lieutenant commander, Lady Ollie
Gilsdorf; record keeper, Lady Bee
man; finance keeper, Lady Kuschke;
chaplain, Lady Steele; sergeant pro
tenn. Lady McNaught; master at
arms, Lady Bentley; sentinel. Lady
Swim; picket, Lady Clifton. After the
installation ceremonies a guard drill
by eight members, bearing spears and
the colors of the order, was given
under the direction of Lady Kahn. A
hight luncheon concluded the evenings
exercises.
1t seems now to be practically set
tied that Montana is to have a con-
siderable Boer colony Within a short
time. About the only matter of doubt
appears to be as regards the location,
but this has been narrowed down to
the choice between two localities. The
colony will establish itself in either
the Milk river or Shields river val
ley. General Joubert and Captain
who r representing the
Beers, are in the state this week and
will investigate the possibilities offer
ed by the two localities named. "Jim"
Hill is endeavoring to induce them
to decide upon the Milk river valley,
and w. B. Jordan, who owns about
20 sections of aland on the Shields
river, has interested them in his pro-
position,

the remaining amount of his shortage,
1898, was deposited in the bank, sub.
ject to the orders of the express
company. The bulk of the money
was returned last week, having been
given up by Roberts, who had 1T
cached a few miles beyond the city.
In addition to the assurances Civ
en- by the superintendent Of the ex-
press company, while THAT official was
here, that his company would not
proceed against Roberts, provided the
shortage vas made good, a telegram
has been received here by friends Of
Roberts from the bonding company's

would not prosecute the man if the
amount Of money then still missing
would be made good. This having
been done, 1t is now believed that the
matter will be allowed to drop.
No difficulty was experienced In
