Butte. Anaconda & Pacific railway.
and William Crawford, a witness in
the Glow murder case, are 10 Anacon-
da today, working upon what may
prove q valuable clew to the identity
OF the two men who held up the east
bound North Coast Limited at Welch's
spur last week, murdered Engineer
Glow and wounded Fireman Sullivan.
A boy of 20. named Hogan, is the
suspect upon whom the detectives are
working, and whom Crawford is
brought here to identify. Crawford
was upon the train. stealing q ride,
the night OF the holdup. According to
his story, he met the robbers
on the rear platform of the
express car, just before the tragedy.
The thugs offered Crawford a share
of the loot, but he refused, ~whereupon
they told him to 60 to the rear of the
train and keep out Of the way. Craw.
ford was arrested on the train and
has been held in Butte since the event.
1t was from Crawford's description
that Hogan was arrested. The new
suspect is a mere boy in years and
has been reared in Anaconda. He
has been out of town about a week, it
is said, but declares he was away on
business. He is being subject to the
third degree in the county Jail here
today. Reporters have not been adj
mitted to interview him and the au.
thoritles will not give out his first
anne or say who his parents are or
what he has been formerly employed
at.
Hoganfs arrest was dram attic. Early
yesterday morning Officer keenan,
found the young man in a saloon
playing cards. Upon the entrance of
the officer, Hogan threw down his
hand, in the midst Of a game and
started for the door.
"You're wanted," he said quietly.
"Your partner has confessed"
Hogan hared up, but made no re-
s~istance, and vas oon behind the
! bars.
\ second suspect is said to have
been seen III Anaconda the day after
the holdup, but has eluded the au-
thorities and left this section. His
description has been telegraphed
broadcast and lis apprehension is
considered a matter of q few days.

Origin Of the Ozark Horse"

The term I'd ark horse" is such a
familiar one, even to persons who do
not frequent horse races, that few stop
to wonder at its origin, and fewer still
know anything about the circum.
stances to which it owes its creation.
Its origin is due to Lord Beaconsfield,
who used the phrase in ""The Young
Duke" In this novel he speaks of a
dark horse which had never been
thought of and which few had so much
as observed. The dark horse, how.
ever, rushed past the grand stand to
victory. This dark horse was actual
ly one of dark color, but today the
color is no longer taken into account.
A dark horse may be anything, so
long as he sweeps from the ranks OF
the unnoticed to the glory of the win
ming post.

Interest On Public Money.

Illinois has q state treasurer who
has turned into the public treasury
the interest on recent accumul alton on
public funds. Reports from the Hi.
nois Legislature, now in session, are
to the effect that some of the mem bers
do not fancy this proceeding; "their
belief being that it is we'll to be lib.
eral with the states money when
there is a private snap instead OF a
public trust in sight" That is the
Chicago Record.Herald's way of stat.
ing the case John F. Smulski is the
state treasurer. He turned in Sl3, 314,
for about ten weeks.
His action reminds Montana of a
Billings convention platform plank
that didn't mean much, of a state
treasurer who assumed that the plank
didn't mea q word it said, of attor.
ney general proceedings that didn't do
any good and of certain Legislative

broidered with stars, moons, comets
and crescents. The astrOloger was
wont to get out on the roof o'nights
and cast the Roosevelt horoscope.
For a time he didn't have much luck.
The interplanetary system seemed to
rack along about as usual, even
though Professor Meyer shouted the
name of Roosevelt into the intermin-
able reaches of sidereal space at the
top of his voice. All the time he was
sweeping the empyreal with his six
cylinder telescope and wondering why
the heavens didn't respond.
AT last the weary watcher got an as
Economical nibble. The stars began
to take notice and soon the zenith was
ablaze with messages as easily inter-
preted by the astroloser from Hoboken
as circus posters. In effect this COM

Roosevelt is highly favored by Jupi'
ter, king OF gods and men, who has
given into the hands Of the amiable
Apollo a commission to express the
entire satisfaction OF all the Latin

Reference is made, no doubt, to the

But what about the teeth and knees?
Without the dental armament the
