bed at the Colonial Club Give
Case to Private Detectives

The victims have eliminated the reg
ular police as possible factors in the
apprehension of the five criminals who
robbed the players and spectators in
the Colonial Club early Saturday morn
ing. Yesterday the sleuths Of local
private detective agency were put on
the case by the men who suffered the
loss Of so much money and jewelry in
the robbery.
It is stated on good authority that the
Pinkerton Agency has the case in hand
and is working for a quiet settlement
between the robbers and the robbed.
Yesterday the Pinkerton 'sherlocks"
had two race track men, King" Had
ley, and a tout known in the tender
loin as Doc Blue Mass" in the sweat
box. King" and Doc" whose repu-
tatic1s are not of the best around the
city, are supposed to know the identity
Of the crooks. Just what the detect
ives learned from the two men is not
known, but it is alleged that the latter
gave the sleuths a sufficient clew to the
perpetrators of the robbery to result
in the arrest of the gang.

POLICE FIND No CLEW.

The local police never found a single
clew, and received practically no assist
ance from the men who were robbed.
The keepers Of the club know the cul-
prits and claimed to have given the po-
lice the clew. while in reality it was
given TO a private detective concern.
The private detectives and the club
men hope TO have the matter all hushed
and squared in a few days. None of
the robbers have left town, and all of
the suspicious characters of the turf
are under surveillance. The local po-
lice Lllege that the deed was done by
men who were habitues of the place
and familiar with the whereabouts Of
the bank roll. They say that the men

There Is not .much freedom left you;

The Jeffersonian democrats and
Lincoln republicans are at their
old tricks in Silver Bow county.
Evidences of corruption in the
county court house precipitated
the appointment of a special grand
jury, which exposed well devel-
oped bunch of thieves. w. McC.
White, foreman of the grand jury,
filed charges with Judge Clancy,
accusing w. ID. Clark. chairman
of the board of county commits
sioners, and Assessor Daniel
Brown OF appropriating S44.oo of
a dead mans money who worked
on the county roads. He had $40
coming and Clark and Brown
were determined to give him
decent funeral" which cost $500
and pocketed the remaining S44.
Assessor Brown has drawn down
in three years $2o,o63.22. His
salary is $1,000 per year. Coroner
Egan during the year 1903 and
three months of this year pulled
down from the county $4,o63 90.
He was entitled to ST., ,533. Clerk
and Recorder Weston is charged
with gross neglect in Office. Doz-
ems of other steals and misappro-
priations are uprooted charged to
these "spoils" politicians. Under
Socialism there would be no in
centive to graft in office.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE rec
ords of this city regarding the
burial of the poor, is somewhat
alarming.
During seven months nearly
5000 poor women. children and
men, living in the slums, and low
joints, have died, according to the
undertakers' reports, all of whom
had no funerals, but were dumped
into rough boxes with no coffins
and buried in the potter's field,
unheard of, and unseen only by
the officers in charge. many of
these from starvation, and dis
ease caused from the crowded con-
dition of the living rooms in the
districts.
This condition has increased 10
per cent in two years, and during
the next year the deaths and suf-
fering in these districts will be
something awful. and the outlook
is staggering the authorities.

Mr.. Fred Sanden, Candidate for
the Legislature on the Fusion
Ticket in Lewis and Clarke
County.
Dear Sir: 1t has recently come
to the knowledge of the writer and
others, that among a certain ele-
ment of the voters of this county,
which element apparently intends
to support you, there exists the
belief that you are a Socialist.
Whether this circumstance is ad-
vantageous TO your candidacy or
otherwise is immaterial to the
purpose of this letter. The fact
is that you are considered by a
number OF voters to be a Social
ist; and in justice to the Socialists
of the county and to yourself as a
candidate for Office, the matter
should be cleared up with all pos
sible dispatch.
If you are a Socialist, your So
ciaIist comrades would like to be
informed as TO what particular
Socialist move we may look for in
case YOU are elected. In slang
phrase, they would like to be I'm
on the proposition. If you are
not a Socialist, it is but fair to
yourself that you be freed from
any share of responsibility for the
conduct of the body of Socialists
