BOX CAR BROKEN INTO
Police Officers Apprehend TWO Men
Trying to Sell Shoes and Place
Them Under Arrest-Rarston and
Forrest Deny Crime.

While attempting to dispose Of sew
eral pairs Of shoes which it is alleged
were stolen from a Northern Pacific
freight car, Joe Forrest and Leroy e

will be placed against them.
It Is said that the two men gained
entrance to q car standing just west
Of the freight depot either Saturday
or Sunday night, and after breaking
open a box Of shoes stole several pairs
and started to peddle them.
Owing to the fact that the police
had been instructed to look out fes
persons attempting to dispose OF
shoes, Oficers Vannek and Bake
took the two men into custody al
socn as they learned thu. they were
Trying to dispose OF the plumber.
It was not until yesterday morning
however, that It was discovered that
a box car in the local yards hadsbeen
entered and the shoes stolen.
The two men under arrest deny
that they stole the shoes, and account
for being IN possession Of the hvt
pairs found on them when arrested
by saying that two other men dropped
them in making q "get away" and
they picked them up.
Barston and Forest, It is believed
came to Billings Saturday night, q
Chief Talgo says he saw them ther
and they told him they had Just al
rived. He saw the two lei In tn,
Sideboard saloon first, and while II
there they asked him to have q drinl

FIRE IN CHURCH IS
DISCOVERED IN time
HOT STOVE CAUSES TROUBLE AT
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

Had 1t not been for the prompt &C
ton of the janitor in extinguishing q
fire that had been started by the burn
ing Of the floor beneath an overheated
stove in the kitchen Of the Congrega-
tional church Sunday morning, the
building would have been badly dam
aged by fire.
About 10 o'clock Sunday morning q
fire had been kindled in the kitchen
range. and owing to the strong
draught on the fire caused. by the
strong wind blowing at the time the
IRE became much hotter than the jan
itor expected. The floor directly be
meath the stove was heated to such a
high temperature that It ignited. The
adjacent rooms and the church audi
torium we're soon. filed with smoke,
and the janitor on r~e-entertng the
place discovered the trouble. Pals OF
water were thrown on the smoldering
floor and the fire was loon extin'
guished.
Had the fire been discovered ten
minutes later the stove by the force
Of It's own weight would have fallen
through into the cellar, from where
the fire could easily have been com
municated to the other part Of the
building.

burglars broke into ". 3. Ten
Eyck's harness and saddle store on.
Montana avenue Saturday night and
stole one of the finest saddles Mr.. Ten
Eyck carried in stock, a new rawhide
rope and perhaps more plumber.
Owing to the fact that Nj. Ten Eyck
has not checked up his stock It is not
known exactly what else was stolen.
The burglars gained entrance to the
store by opening the transom over the
back door. Just what time the crime
was committed is a matter Of con-
lecture, but 1t is believed to have
occurred about midnight.
Mr.. Ten Eyck discovered that the
store had been b%urglarized when he
visited his place Of business Sunday
morning. He found that the thieves
had stolen one full stamped saddle Of
flower design and a new rawhide rope
which he had recently purchased.
Passed Up Spurs.
Although he carries a full line Of
silver mounted spurs and bits, Mr..
Ten Eyck has not missed any Of these
10 far. The thieves were deliberate
In their work, as they wrapped the
saddle in paper and then sewed q
sack around It..
Whether the thieves took stirrupf
and cinches for the saddle 10 moi
known, but It is believed that they
did.
The sherin's ofice was notified o.
the affair as soon as the burglary wal
discovered, but have no clews 80 fal
to work upon. Two saddles were
shipped out Of the city Saturday night
but these were traced and It wa,
found that neither Of them was th,
one stolen.
The officers who are working Of thu
case believe that the. crime was com
mitted by q man used to riding horsel
In the west, as the saddle which wa
stolen was one that 9 western maj
would pick from q stock.
Owing to the fact that the desig1
is different than Is found on mos
