HUNDREDS WATCH
POLICE CHASE PAIR
OVERHOUSE ROOFS
Fleeing Intruder Escapes Big
Force of PIainclothes
Guardians.

Chasing a supposed burglar over the
roofs of. the houses close to 81 Hill
street yesterday afternoon attracted
the attention of hundreds of Broad
street pedestrians, and, when the flee
ing man stepped from the stoop of u
Hill street there was no II there to
intercept him and he got away, only to
return later and give himself up to the
police of the First Precinct station.
Plainclothesmen Thomas King and
Patrick Troy, of the First Precinct,
were in the station house yesterday
when a telephone message came in that
a burglar was making his way through
the home of Frank Aab, of 25 Hill
street. The two men hurried there,
only tt find that the alleged burglar
was missing.
This was 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
q, second call was received from the
same house, and King and Troy. rein
forced by a half dozen other plain
clothesmen, went to Hill street on the
jump. te
Police Surround House.
Surrounding the house King and
Troy entered, and wege told that this
time two mon were seen walking
through the house, but those who had
seen them did not nave the time or
courage to stop them. A search of the
house was begun. King had only
reached the front parlor, when a small
fox terrier. of Aab's took a dislike to the
policemen and made. a jump for him,
catching a ,brand-new overcoat and
tearing It,. While wrestling with the
dog King saw a mans form making
for a rear door, and King, coat and
dog followed The chase became ex-
citing, because King saw that another
mai was trying to make his escape,
and while the officer called to Troy to
take the nearest man, King made for
the other.
Through scuttle Hole.
Out of Aab's went the supposed thief
and into % Hill street and King in the
rear. Seeing that he was being cor
nered the fleeing man made for the
roof and went up through a scuttle
hole and down through the same OPEN
ing Oh the house at 81 Hill street, gain
ing the street and his liberty.
King returned to the street and there
found his pals enpty-handed. Troy
had his man, who said hat he was
Samuel Rosenberg, sometimes known
as Jack Rose, and who is a vocal
list. His pals he said, was Louis Rosen-
berg, of 40 Rankin street. Rose. when
given a chance, explained what looked
like a double barreled attempt to rob
the entire Hill street section.
He said that he formerly boarded at
Aab's and left there owing four weeks
board. His clothes were being held for
his debt. and that he simply went TO
the house Sunday to get some of them
and did not want Mr.. Aab to catch him,
He was scared away in the morning
and returned with his friend in fthe
afternoon.
He vas told to go out and find his
friend aud bring him back to the sta
! ton houye, and this Rose did, and Cap
tain Ryan after Investigating the affair
allowed them to. go. as Mr.. Aab had no
complaint to make.

Alaska Whea. Not So Good.

WASHINGTON, Aug. PA variety
Of wheat under the name ''Alaska" is
being widely advertised as capable of
yielding at the rate of POO bushels to
the acre ''under ordinary conditions"
1t is stated that this variety was
found growing wild on the eastern
coast OF Alaska and claims of the
most extravagant nature are made
for it..
In consequence of this notoriety the
department of agriculture is receiving
many inquiries for seed. The depart
ment states that the type OF wheat has
been known for many years, both in
this country and in Europe. 1t has
been tried at several experiment sta.
tons in western United States during
the past Is years. but nowhere have
the yields been high enough to merit
attention. The wheat has been grown
to q very limited extent upon certain
heavy undralned soils in France for
many years. In such locations it is
said to yield rather better than ord.
mary wheat, but as it is one OF the
poorest wheats known for making
flour it is never grown where the or.
binary varieties of wheat will thrive.

settled, there will have to be whole.
sale construction of branch railroad
lines to put them in touch with the
markets. That will NEAR something
to Montana.
Its enhancement of the assessed
wealth of the state is beyond proph.
ecy. The mileage itself will add enor-
mously to the figures, but this will
fall far short of the increase in land
values. AS a specific instance, in one
small county of an eastern state, al
ready traversed by three lines of road,
the construction of two new branches
was the great factor in doubling land
values in two or three years by cut
ting In two the distance from local
markets.
The length of the state of Montana
Is t%raversed in its entirety by two lines
OF railroad. These parallel lines have
most of the way only streaks of geog.
raphy on either side. The branch lines
are very few and with one or two ex.
captions these run to mining districts.
From the eastern part of the state, the
business for the railroads was the
transportation of stock which could
be brought to shipping points more
easily than shipping points could be
brought to the stockmen.
With the building of the line from
Billings to Great Falls through q
rich country, the extension of the St.
Paul through fertile tracts almost I'm.
touched and the promise that it will
reach out to cities disappointed of the
main line, and with the certainty that
the old roads will take care OF the
regions to be brought under irriga-
ton by government projects, there is
good ground for the prediction that
the railroad commission will in the
future be issuing official maps that
will approach the design of a woven
wire fence.
Every line SO drawn in making this
will be a sign of new wealth
the state. 1t may be hurrying |
away from pioneer tradi-
but the survivors of early days
have as good reason to be proud
OF the new state as they we're Of the

The Glory of New York.

What other city is there of like size
which matches New York in position?
1t Is a seaside city; the salt water
laves its feet. As the traveller ap-
proaches it he thinks of Venice rising
from the sea or is perhaps reminded of
ancient Tyre, which "stood out in the
sea as a hand from a wrist" and of
which the houses We're impressively
tall. "Impressive'' is not too indulgent
a word for the skyscrapers of New
York-clean faced, simple, original and
audacious, they are characteristic of
the land and Of the people. They are
not ugly concessions to utility, but a
rather grand adaptation Of architec-
ture to circumstances. The ancients,
harassed with dread Of piracy, would
not have dared to build a city like New
York on the edge Of a great harbor
open to the sea. 1t is something which
the modern world alone could have
given us.-London Spectator.

SEARCHING FOR BANDIT,
Yellowstone Park Highwayman Al.
legged To Have Secured $40, 900.

LIVINGSTON, Aug. 25.--The total
loss to the passengers in the sixteer
coaches held up yesterday in Yellow
stone park BY the lone highwayman i:
now placed at $40, 900 in money and
an equal value in watches and iewelry,
The robber has not been appre-
hended, although Major Allen and a
detachment of soldiers and scouts
have been out on the trail all night.
The chances for his escape are good,
IS the point at which the holdup occurr.
ed Is near the Jackson Hole country
famous as a refuge for criminals, and
is reached from that part of the park
by several different routes. This,
combined with the start the bandit
gained while the coaches were making
the drive of Is miles to the Lake hotel,
makes his escape seem almost certain.
On their arrival at the Lake hotel,
the victims notified the troops and
search was at once instituted by them,
and later with reinforcements from
Fort Yellowstone, it was vigorously
prosecuted under the personal super
vision of General Young, who COM
mands the park garrison. A reward
OF 81 1000 was also voted but no clew
has been found.
The scene Of the holdup was par
ticularly we'll chosen, both for natural
advantage and cover during the rob.
berry and for the escape which was so
successful after the the last plundered
coach had been sent on it's way.
From the Old Faithful Inn to Lake
Yellowstone is IA miles through the
most desolate part Of the park. It
was in this part of the road that the
h%ighwayman chose his ambush.
OF the sixteen coaches four were
Yellowstone Park Transportation
vehicles, five were Monida coaches,
and nine Wylie Camping company
vehicles. There were several promin.
ent persons in the party and the booty
was heavy, n man alone being re-
lieved of $1,000. Each coach carried
about IL passengers and a driver.
This is the first time in the history
OF the park that a successful holdup
was ever effected. Two or three times
efforts have been made to hold UP
stage coaches, but without success
until today. 1t is now believed that
the robber had no co~nfederates, and
he carried Out the plan alone. re.
CARELESS of his constant claim while
holding the passengers that he had
confederates within easy reach.
The scouts IN going over the ground
can find no trace of any one having
been near to assist him, and it is
practically certain that he had no
confederates.

Work Of a Burmese Bud.

Instead Of a coming out party as we
know it, the Burmese girls entrance
into society begins when she has her
ears pierced. AS soon after this as she
feels inclined she selects a husband
and goes to live in a home of her own.
The home is provided by the man, but
1t becomes his wife's as soon as they
are married. All women, young and
old, are addicted to the use of tobacco.
The women seem to prefer the very
large size black cigar. Often one meets
a woman on the streets of a village
with n Of these huge cigars in her
mouth and two or three more stuck in
the holes of each ear.
