ALLEGED HORSE KILLERS.
Barney Hedigan and Frank BiaIen
Arrested on a Serious CHARGE.

" SNN1fAts
U%ndersherif Ed. Martin went to
Gilt Edge last Friday morning and
arrested Barney Hedigan and Frank
Biglen, who will have to stand trial
for grand larceny. About the middle
of October, last, five horses belonging
TO j. T. Anderson, who was living In
Gilt Edge, mysteriously disappeared.
The horses were being pastured on
the ranch of G. p. Burnett, a few
miles from Gilt Edge.
Anderson looked everywhere for
his horses and finally concluded that
they had been stolen. On November
18th, which was about six weeks af-
ter the horses disappeared, Tug
Wilson, while walking over an un,
irequented part Of the Burnett ranch.
discovered the mutilated bodies of
the five horses in a deep coulee. They
had evidently been knocked in the
head with some heavy instrument.
and, to make sure of the dastardly
deed, the heads of some of the horses
were severed from the bodies.
h deed aroused the greatest in
dignation among the people of Gilt
Edge and vicinity. The horses were
all that Anderson owned and why any,
one should go to the length of TAX.
Ing out any personal spite by de-
stroying his property was almost in
credible. He could not imagine who
could hold such a feeling against him
and for awhile the ideHt.y OF the per.
petrators of the killing remained I'M
solved. But soon suspicion began TO
point TO Hedigan and Biglen. Owing
to the nature of the offense the Off
GERS did not wish to take any hasty
steps. but carefully looked up every
vestige of evidence against the men
before arresting them. They secured
some especially convincing evidence
last week. however, and the arrest
followed. When taken in by Under
sheriff Martin the men said that they
had been expecting arrest for a long
while. but that they could easily
prove their innocence of the crime.
They were brought to Lewistown
Friday afternoon and We're soon re-
leased on bonds of $500 each with
George J. Wiedeman as Hedigan's Sc
curity and Barney Mcdonnell and
Sam Weaver as the sureties of Big.

The mParsIfaI" Concert.

The New York Symphony orchestra,
Walter Damrosch, conductor, is one of
the best known organizations of it's kind
in this country. Its fame is not con-
fined to New York city or the East, but
extends through every section of the
United States and Canada. Its members
are musicians of the highest standing.
The fact that Mr.. DamrOsch will bring
here this famous organiza ton Of his own
for participation in the ''ParsifaP con-
cert at the Peoples church next Tuesday
evening, April u, lends much additional
interest to that event.
Among the members of the orchestra
are several solo musicians of world wide
reputation, including David Names, first
violin and concert meister; Leo Schulz,
first celIist. and Charles Mole, the mar
Vicious f1utist.
A great many members Of the present
orchestra have played with Mr.. DAM
rosch for the whole eighteen years that
he has been conductor, since his fathers
death in 1885. Walter Damrosch was
the first conductor in this country who
made an effort to bring music of the
higher class within the reach of the
masses. The sale Of seats for this pro-
ductOn of ''Parsifaf' opened Thursday
at Dyer Bros. music house, and it can
safely be said that this concert will be
