Postmaster Testifes.
The defense reserved its statement,
and following the conclusion of Mr..
Belden's statement the first witness
called for the state was Albert
Pfaus, postmaster Of Lewistown. Mr..
Pfaus' testimony brought out a clear
description of the location Of the
scene Of the burglary with which
Sherman is charged. He told of the
fact of the safe having been left un-
locked on the evening named, and Of
certain keys that were inside, which
were known only to himself and H
A. Moulton, the assistant postmaster
These were the keys that unlocked
the money drawer. Following these
statements, the direct examination
disclosed that on December 18th, i'm.
mediately after Sherman's arrest
Sherman sent for Mr.. Pfaus and up
on meeting him gave one of the con.
fessions that has made all matters
pertaining to Sherman's case o.
more than ordinary interest. In thi.
confession Sherman admitted to hav
ing taken $40 from the safe, and also
told of locking the safe when he left
OF the amount taken, between $40 ant
$50 were in the cash register, which
at night, was placed in the bottom o
the safe. Certain checks taken from
the cash drawer were not included il
the amount stolen.

Mr.. Huntoon did not disclose mucl
that was new, or shake the testimon,

Gervais, an employ of the postoffc,
at the time of the burglary, was men
toned in the cross-examination, an,
it was disclosed that he left the of
flee soon after, by reason of tn
suspicion attached to him in the mat

as to this matter, and at this time i
is known that Gervais was in no wa,

SHERIFF MARTIN
DOES CLEVER WORK
HARRY LIGHTHOUSE COMES.
SES TO HARDWARE STORE
BURGLARIES.

Thanks to the clever work Of
Sheriff Ed Martin, the men who
burglarized the Judith and Montana
hardware stores are now behind the
bars and one fthem, Harry High
house, has confessed to his part in
the transactions.
Arrests Cause Surprise.
The arrest Of Harry lighthouse
and John Gregory last Friday night
caused mild sensation iii this city
as very few people had any idea that
lighthouse particularly. would be
mixed up in any such work.
Suspicion was directed toward
lighthouse in peculiar manner.
Several weeks ago, Attorney 0. w.
, Belden lost the combination to his
safe and had lighthouse, who is All
expert machinist, to open it for him.
The young man showed that he
thoroughly understands the best
method of getting into such a safe
as he quickly drilled in, caught the
tumblers and threw open the safe.
AT the time that the Montana
Hardware company store was bur-
| RldllZCu uOlC was ullllCu Ill luC
safe but the burglars evidently got
cold feet before touching off the ex-
plosive. Mr.. Belden, who saw the
drill hole, remarked that it was
done exactly in the same manner
that lighthouse opened his safe.
Officers On Look Out.
This caused Sheriff Martin tc
keep a watch on Highouse, but he
could not get any direct evidence un
til about 9 o'clock Fsiday evening
when he got key to the youni
mans room, went in, opened trunl
and found a lot of revolvers, knive
and other articles taken from th'
hardware stores. This practically
settled the case and lighthouse wa!
arrested at once.
Young Man Confesses.
A few hours after he was takel
into custody, lighthouse that he die
the job and said that John Gregory
formerly swamper at the Biz
TIP saloon was in with him on tn
job. Accordingly, Gregory also wa
Iplaced behind the bars.
lighthouse came to this city from
Billings early last summer to act a
chauffeur for S. S. Hobson. He wa
an expert machinist and his gentle
manly behavior soon won the goot
will and confidence of everyone. Hi
friends constructed fine garage il
the rear of the Bank of Fergu
county building and lighthouse wa
placed in charge. He did goo
business but commenced to dissipat
la few weeks apO and TO this he at
tributes his present plight.

young lady last fall but they 500
separated and have been livin

months.
The smooth manner in whic

Mrs. Hal b. Gibson of this city
left Friday morning for Billings. be-
ing called there by the death of her
brothcr-in-law, Joe Tschudy, who
passed away i'll the Yellowstone coun>

Joe Tschudy is we'll known in this

ever visited Billings knows him as
he has always occupied prominent
place in the business and social life
of the town For several years past
he has been the steward Of the Bill
lings club and the popularity of that
famous organization throughout the
west is due in a great measure to
Joe's popularity.

the world than he
