company succeeded In putting out the
flames before they ravaged the rest Of
the house. The damage was not over

It was about noon that the Forester
fire occurred, but at four o'clock IN
the afternoon q call from the south
side took the hose company over to
the corner Of T~wentysthird street and

Despite the fact that the jury In the
Allen case had been out 81 hours, q
verdict had not been reached at 8
O'Clock this morning. and the chances
for the jurors coming to IN under

Many surmises as to how the jury
stands have been made by those who
are watching the case, but nothing
authentic can be learned regarding ita
standing.
Judge Fox called the jury before
him tnscourt yesterday morning and
asked them II they had arrived at

negative, he sent them back for fur
ther consideration Of the case.
Not Much Conversation.
Sunday afternoon the jurors could
be seen with their heads out OF the
window summing themselves. and
again yesterday they took advantage
'of the beautiful day to enjoy the sum-.
There did not appear to be animated
conversation among them at these
times, and appears Of II they have
given up all hope Of arriving at q yer

Of the chiefs friends, had arranged
the surprise, invited the guests and
prepared the things to eat, and the

ls a Bad Man.
1t is stated in the description that
Mosney or Mosley is a bad man and
that there is a reward Of $3.50 for his
arrest dead or alive. His record is
something like this: WAS sent to
the state p~enitentiary in 1896 for
grand larceny, escaped In 1898, sent
back for six years more for breaking

county and murdered Robert Holmes

with a friend to get q good rok at
the Indian. The chief knew that he
resembled some one whom he was
looking for but couldn't place him, 50
he followed the half-breed for about
2 block and heard the latter say I'd
his companion, Here is the way tc
whistle for a policeman and he put
his fingers to his mouth and whistled
Chief Talgo Immediately accosted him
and said did you whistle for an Of

did but only IN fun. BY this time the
chief had recognized him. as tallyine
with the description Of the man want
ed at Helena and placed him under ar
rest Immediately.
Was unarmed.
The half.breed made no resistance
and when searched at the police sta
tion did not have a weapon Of an,
kind. He stated that he ran ava,
from Great Falls and came to this sec
