MISREPRESENTATION Large.

From Wednesdays Daily.
After q course OF alleged dishonesty
running back several months, Ben Top
ing, a clerk in the Northern Pacific
freight Office was arrested Monday at.
sternoon by Officer Bert Talgo on q
charge Of forgery. He Is now in the
city jail, and has expressed the inten-
ton Of pleading guilty.
TOPPING was the clerk who looked
after the overs and shorts" In the
freight house. and In this position he
handled the bills for such freight as
came under this head. His scheme OF
operation was to steal the cashiers
stamp, stamp the hill Of lading for
goods paid" and then sign the cash
ier's name.
This bill he would give to a dray-
man, who would procure the goods II
called for and then take them to q
secondhand store as directed. The
list OF Toping's alleged populations is
said to be a large one, though the po-
lice have not yet finished tracing all
the goods he took by this method.
Sold Much.
It is known that he sold wool and
high class freight Of every kind to
nearly every secondhand store In the
city, particularly to Mansfield Broth
ers, and in a few days a complete list
OF the goods stolen will probably be
made out.
It was late yesterday afternoon that
TOPPING was discovered by E. E. Vel
tum Of the local freight ONCE with
one OF the forged bills in his posses.
sion, and Nj. Veltum at once forced
10 confession from TOPPING, who Is a
young nan Of about 26 and single.
Later he sent for Chief Talgo, who
arrested TOPPING and took him to the

forgery.

EIGHT FAMILIES OF HOLLAND.
ERs ARRIVE At HUhTLEY.
STILL MORE COMING
Party Of So Left Chicago Yesterday
Bound for BilHngs-ResuIt Of Visit
Of Homeseekers to This Section
Last Summer.
rom Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Eight families OF Hollanders ar
rived at Huntley yesterday with their
household goods and are moving to
farms on the Billings bench which
they purchased last summer of the
Billings Land & Irrigation company.
The party contains between Is and 40
people and 1t is expected that more
families will continue coming until
summer.
"A party containing So colonists
bound for Huntley to settle on the
farms on the bench, were scheduled
to leave Chicago yesterday and 1t is
expected that they will arrive in q
few days. Besides this party another
party Of eight or 10 families is ex-
pected from Michigan, Minnesota and
Wisconsin In q few days.
The heads Of these Hollander fam
lilies took advantage Of the colonists'
rates to this section last summer, and
came here to look over the lands on
- 5M & &Gf EW& 4rFL &FF& NIT&,
the bench, and az a consequence the
majority Of them either purchased
farms Immediately. or signifaed their
intention Of returning this spring.
Parties will continue arriving here
during the rest Of the winter and
spring, and there is nc doubt but
that at least 100 families will have
settled on the bench before summer
opens.
The work Of colonizing the lands
on the bench began more than q year
ago and during the past summer and
fall hundreds OF Hollanders looking
for homes in the west visited the city
and inspected the land here.
There are ct least rs families on
the bench already and plans for the
formation Of q church we're made
early last summer.
The new settlers are thrifty and 2
most desirable class Of people. Who're
ever they have settled In the past tho
