PROBABLY A SAFE RoRBER.
Discharged Prisoner Writes Lette,
Giving Officers a Hint.

1t is now believed that the man
West, who was arrested here some
days ago for stealing a number OF
pairs OF trousers from the Donovan
Mccormick company, was implicated
in the recent safe robberles.
The fellow was released, while his
partner, named Dwyer, was sent up
and is serving a sentence in the
county Jail. From Aer West went
to Miles City and from there wrote
a letter to Buckley, the supposed dia-
mond thief. This was read by the
officers and although it was partly
written in cipher, enough was made
out to convey the intelligence that
West had unearthed some "swag" at
Miles City and found some of the
ence was made to a couple of watches
and an Eagle badge, studded with
diamonds, supposedly the one taken
from the brewery safe. AS near as
can be learned the watches were de-
scribed in the letter and the descrip-
ton, it is claimed, answer with that
taken from the laundry safe the same
night.
A belief exists that West, Dwyer,
Miner and SANTIAGO, the last two OF
whom broke Jail Tuesday night, are
all members of the same gang and
that they have been operating in this
and other clues in the eastern part OF
the state.

GIRL IN BOYS ATTIRE.
Arrested for Vagrancy Is Forced tc
NJ Reveal Her Sex.

7 After having been searched by at
least two officers without the prison
er's sex being discovered, Frank Will
liams" was compelled last night to
admit at the county Jail that she"
was a girl.
The m was arrested yesterday
afternoon by Sergeant Hannah. With
her was a man and the two claimed
to be brothers.. AS a revolver was
found on each they were sentenced
to 80 days in the county Jail and to
pay a fine of $50 apiece. After they
had been turned over to the county
authorities they asked to be placed
in the same cell. Something caused
Jailer Harding to deny the request
and the smaller Of the prisoners was
locked up with some others, who have
the run of the Jail.
Shortly afterward Bert Williams
called to Crank" to be sure and sleep
with "his" clothes on. This caused
the other prisoners to become sus-
picious and they began an investiga-
ton. The manner IN which they went
at it Don had the supposed boy
screaming Justify for help and Mr..
Harding appeared. To him the girl
disclosed her sex and she was put
into the woman's compartment.
1t is believed that the pair are
the same who were detained in the
Butte Jail a couple OF weeks and re-
leased only a few days ago. The
girl denies this ana declares that she
merely passed through that city, with.
out stopping. The fact that she ad.
mits she has been tramping for six
OF seven years in boys clothes and
has been across the continent several
times, ''boing it" each time, makes
it appear that she and her pal are
the same persons. .
Her companion, in addition to the
revolver, had 10 house keys in his
possession. When asked how he got
them he said he had picked them up
on the road

Doctor Hauge, formerly Of Miles
City, but now of st. Paul, arrived in
town yesterday. The gentleman is the
son-in-law of the late Mr.. Cree, we'll
known here as n of the largest
sheepmen in eastern Montana, and
came west to superintend shearing OF
the f1ocks belonging to the estate,
which are ranging near Rosebud.
Being SO close and never having visit
ed Billings, the doctor thought he
would take a run up this way.
Announcement is made of the mar
riage Of David mcleod and Miss
Mabel G. Gordon, which is to take
place next Wednesday, June Is. Miss
Gordon has been n of the teachers
of the city schools for several years,
while the prospective groom has also
resided here a long time and is well
known in church and business circles.
Both are among the most popular Of
the city's young people. They will
make their home at Bozeman.
George Roberts, who is we'll remenE
bered by the older OF the people d'
Billings as one of the first men to
open a restaurant in the city, has re-
turned and thinks seriously of max
ing his home here once more. For
a number of years past he has been in
business at Horn, or Electric, as the
camp is now known. Mr.. Roberts
is receiving a cordial greeting from
his old-time friends, who are hopeful
that he may decide to remain perma-
nently.
~Some one started a report yesterday
of an alleged shooting said to have
occurred in the northeast part Of the
city the night before. Although the
inc described with considerable
minuteness the particulars of the sup
posed ARRAY, it could not be traced
to any authentic source, The victim
was said to be a sheepherder and
that the bullet had struck him in the
abdomen. Nothing was known of the
matter at the Office of the sheriff of
police headquarters.
A letter received by Mrs. J.. T.
Sayles brings information of the
death of Mrs. Charles Stoltz, which
occurred at San Diego, Cali, last
Saturday morning, due to tubercu-
losis. She was a most estimable lady,
highly respected and admired by all
that knew her. The disease that
finally caused her end had been OF
long standing and it was in the hope
that a change of climate might prove
beneficial to her that she was taken
to the place where she died by her
husband several months ago. One OF
her last requests was that she be
buried where she died. This was
honored and the funeral took place at
San Diego.

Word was received here yesterday
Of the burning OF the residence OF
IL. B. Brown at Park City the evening
before. The fire started about Z
o'clock and because of the complete
absence of anything like hose or
other apparatus the building burned
to the ground, with all it's contents.
Insurance to the amount of $500 was
carried on the house, which is said
to have been worth about $1,000. Some
insurance also covered the furniture.
The origin of the fire could not be
learned.
T. ]. Webb, stock inspector for this
county, was a passenger on the North
ern Pacific train wrecked at Rapids
Wednesday morning. He was in one
of the day coaches and felt the shock
as the locomotive left the track.
Realizing that something had gone
wrong, he chung to the seat, which
was torn loose from the floor and
moved a short distance, and escaped
uninjured. To the fact hat the cars
were derailed in opposite directions
he attributes the lucky termination OF
the accident. Had they telescoped
the loss of life would probably have
been great.
An action has been begun in the dis
trict court by the Donovan-McCormick
company against F. d. Mccormick to
recover a balance said to be due on
an open account and for the unpaid
portion OF a promissory note The
complaint alleges that defendant De-
cember 81, 1903, gave his note to
plaintiff for $334.81, payable in three
months with interest at II per cent
per annum. 1t is CANNED that he
paid only $500, March %, 1904. The
amount said to be due on account is
$86.15. Judgment for both sums, to-
gether with 10 per CEN Of the bal
ance on the note for attorney fees
and posts of suit is demanded.
ENrom Helena comes the report that
Governor Toole has r~econsidered hiS'
decision not to attend the national
democratic convention and that he
announces he will be on hand and
participate in the great talkfest. The
same report also has it that Senator
Clark will be back in the United
States in time for the convention and
that his alternate, the Honorable J.
D. Losekamp of this city, will be de-
prived of the honor which was re-
garded as certain to be his. Should
this happen, Senator GIBSON will be
the only one of the regular delegates
who will be absent. He has stated
emphatically he would not attend.
Charles Hoe departed yesterday for
West Point, which institution he will
enter as one of Montana's cadets.
Mr.. Hoe has had rather an unusual
experience in gaining admission to the
academy. Last year he was appointed
substitute for a Great Fails young
man, who had been appointed tt
Annapolis. The principal passed,
both physically and mentally and Mr..
Hoe was compelled to retire. He was
examined as to his educational quail
fications and passed with nigh honors.
The rating then given him was sub
%sequently applied as to. his entry to
West Point, where, should he pass
the desired physical test, he will be at
once enrolled as a cadet, no further
mental examination being required of
him.

PrincetOn's star Athlete VIII Not
Join Professional Ranks.
Doc Hillebrand, the famous Prince
ton athlete football player and pitch
err, has decided not to play with
Washington. Last fall it was report
ed that Ban Johnson president of
the American League, had secured the
signature of Doc Hillebrand and his
brother, also former Princeton play
er, to contracts with the Washington
club. That was in the course OF the
football season. Hillebrand did not
fancy the idea of being professional,
and it was learned that he had def1n-
itely decided not to join the Senators.
1t was not a question Of terms. Inc
American League will therefore be
minus the services of promising Dox-
man.
Hillebrand had offers from several
big league teams since he graduated
at Princeton. He is a good hitter as
we'll as pitcher. His services as a
coach are valued very highly at
Princeton, where the news that he Will
be able to continue such will be well
come. Last year he brought the IL
gers to the top of the football heap
after three years of reversals, and by
his coaching has landed several base
ball championships at Old Nassau. AT
the Polo Grounds once he struck out
three Yale batters, with the bases full.

OLDFIELD AND GRAHAM WILL
COME TO SAVANNAH NEXT WEEK
BILLY FARREN FOUGHT
ZIEGLER TO A DRAW.
Wen Known KnuckIedusters Went
SIX Slow ROnnda I'm PhiIndeInhin-

Wei Known knuckledusters Went
Six Slow Rounds in Philadelphia.
The following account of a six-round
contest in Philadelphia a few nights
ago will be interesting to Savannah
ians who know both Farren and Zieg-
Ter.
There was nothing exciting about the
wind-up at the Broadway Athletic
Club last night. 1t was between owen
ziegler and Billy Farren. In his day
Ztegler cut some ice. but last night he
didn't. While he showed something of
his old-time form he had no steam. A
couple of body punches took all the life
out of him. but before that he had
done enough damage to Farren's face
and jaw to make him a little careful.
The result was that Farren was unable
to follow up his advantage at any
time. 1t was very slow bout, both
men performing like dead ones"
The first round was easy. In the
second Ziegler got to work a little and
Jabbed Farren, who did something in
the same line. In the third Ziegler got
to work and, 1abbing with his left, rip
ped in a few wallops with his right.
That was his round. but in the fourth
AiC was SlOppGus HdIIeIl ntbu
received some sage advice, for he sent
in a couple of body punches that stop
ped Owen. Ziegler was not in the best
of shape and these blows hurt him. He
tanned down and Farren did a few
stunts, but when Ziegler backed away
after a swing or a jab Farren stood
still, giving Ziegler all the chance in
the world to get going again.
Both men were cautious in the fifth
and little damage was done. In the
sixth both were wild. They swung and
punched in any kind of style. They
had hope that they would land some
where, but most of the time they fam
ned the air. About a draw would have
been a faid viadict.
In the semi wind-up Kid Fitzgerald
and Howard Wilson went six slow
rounds. Honors were nearly even. If
anything, Wilson had shade ON E1tz-
gerald,
