and the amount Of money cleaned up
by the robbery amounted to over $12,-
600.
At that time the location Of Dell was
known a. the Sheep creek country. and
on the opposite side of the river from
the present site Of the prosperous little
town was the changing point known
as Sheep Greek Station. A half breed
named Rugg h2d charge Of the horses.
Settled Close to the station were two
men who arr now well known and re-
spected res3dents Of the Deer Lodge
valley. and a. their names are not ma
terial to this story they will not be
given. At that time they longed for a
chance for making a raid. and. with
the stock tender. they frequently dis
cussed the Possibilities OF robbing the
treasure box OF some Of the golden
treasure that was almost daily shipped
out of the country. - #1c& 2 ia r
On the day selected for the robbery
there was only one passenger on the
stage, and as Sheep Greek was also oc-
casionally used a. an eating station
the stock tender bided his time until
the passenger. the messenger and the
driver were all inside the cabin eating.
Then he took the treasure box from
the coach. spried out the staple which
held the lock. took out the $4,000 in
gold dust which was being carried.
placed few rocks In the box to give it
weight and fastened the staple to its
place again 80 carefully that it would
require the closest scrutiny to detect
evidence Of it's having been tempered
with. Then he put the treasure box
back into the box and resumed his
work hitching up the horses just as If
nothing had happened. AS soon as the
coach was fairly out Of sight the stock
tender turned the money over to his
Fellow cOnsplrators, and they in turn
cached it in the river some distance
from the station.
The coach went on, the messengers
ignorant Of the fact that they were
guarding an empty treasure box When
he home station at Eagle Rock was
reached the messengers turned the
treasure box over to the next relay.
according to the usual custom, the box
was opened In the presence of all four
OF the messengers. and. to the conster
nation Of the entire bunch. the treasure
was gone.
CONSERVATION seized the crowd, and
'ne rev wires were Kept red hot by the
messengers in their efforts to warn
headquarters and set the entire ma
chinery Of the law at work in the ex-
pectation Of locating the thief.
The stock tender was under suspi-
cion. but nothing could be proved
against him. and he was permitted to
work on a. usual. which he did. quit
ing the Job few months Afterward
AFTER Interest In the affair had partial
" died out.
Among the Montana officers called in
20 work on the case was x. Biedler. the
famous old peace officer and vigilante
pioneer days in Montana. 1t was
seneraily conceded that the robbery
.ook place in the Ryan canyon. but at
Just what point the officers had not the
.east Idea. Biedler soon became con-
.'nced that the gold had been buried
!ne Beaverhead river. and he pa
uoned the banks and willows Tor near
" every foot between the mouth Of the
senyon and the mouth Of Sheep creek.

The Thrice-a- Week World long ago es-
tablished itself in public favor, and it is
now recognized as the strongest publica-
ton of it's kind in the United States. Adj
vertisers and publishers seeking clubbing
combinations-and they know best-un-
iversally testify to this. 1t is widely cir
culated in every State and Territory of the
union, and even in remote South Africa
and on the gold fields in the deserts of
Australia. These are the things that tell.
Next year we have the Presidential
campaign, in which all Americans are
deeply interested. Already the issues are
being discussed and the two great parties
are preparing for the first moves. You
will not want to miss anyof the details,
and if you subscribe now your year s SUBJ
scription will cover the campaign from
beginning to end.
The Thrice-a-W Week World il absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias is
never allowed to affect it's news columns,
and Democrat and Republican alike can
obtain in its pages truthful accounts of
all the great political contests.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice
a-Week World furnishes the best serial
fiction, elaborate market reports and 9TH
er features of interest.

this pays for 1856 papers. We offer this
unequalled newspaper and THE CHRoNI-
GLE together one year for 81 so.
The regular subscription price of the
two papers is $500.

CONFIDENCE men who buncoed
an Ohio farmer out of $4,000, did
not reckon with the rural tele-
phone. The victim summoned a
posse of fifty neighbors through
the phone, and the robbers were
quickly captured and the $4,000
recovered. This is pretty good
illustration of the value of the tel
ephone in the country.

IT was certain that when Amer
loan farmers began to stream into
the Canadian Northwest the pre-
vailing voice of that fertile and
prosperous region would be for
annexation, and it is coming round
to that ats Lou Dillon gait, says
the New York Tribune. They can
probably come in if they want to,
when the time is ripe; we are in
different about it, and the initia-
tive is and will be all theirs-and
the lions share of the advantages
will be theirs also, fact which
even the mouldiest old Tories and

difficulty in perceiving.

The bill in Congress- to admit
Arizona and New Mexico as one
State causes considerable adverse
comment in Congress as well as in
the press of the country. Atten-
ton is called to the fact that it
would take railroad train as long
to go through that State from east
to west as to go from st. Louis to

Special to Columbia Record.

Special to Columbia Record.
Trenton, Dec. S The people Of
this town are stirred with excite
ment and horror this morning ov>
er the fearful deaths of Mr.. B. b.
Hughes, his wife and their two
daughters.
At 5 o'clock their house, which
ia situatedin the centre Of the
town, was burned to the GROUND
The building was wrapped in ahot
seethingmass of flames when the
first citizen arrived, and had there
been adequate fire apparatus it
would have been impossible to
save the house after the alarm
had aroused the citizens.
The fire was at first thought
TO be accidental, but it WAS found
that there was foul play. Mr..
Hughes had his clothes on and
there is evidence Of his having had
his glove on the right hand
Both the girls were struck on the
head with some heavy article,
like an AK, and placed back in the
bed as if they had not made n
struggle. Mrs. Hughes head
was under her pillow and her
head was mashed in.
A further and closer investiga-
tion today revealed the fact that
Mir. Hughes had bullet hole
through both temples. His body
was at the door aud a pistol was
in his hand. 1t is believed the
murder was committed IN the
early part OF the night ami that
the house was fired 70 hide the
crime.
MIR. Hughes was about 45 years
old and was a merchant Of the
town. He was 10 all respects a
most admirable citizen, was suco
cessful in business and popular
generally. Mrs. Hughes and her
two daughters, aged about II and
Is, were leaders IN church and
social circlesand their terrible fate
creates the deepest sorrow.
The house in which the lived
was a cottage. Mr.. Hughes had
uuderconstructlon large residence
which he expected soon to occnpy
