principal promoter of the recent meet

death held the controlling interest in
the meeting at Butte, scheduled to oper
late this month.
He wrote "Tobe" Ramsey a letter

yesterday at noon they succeeded
when, under an unoccupied residence

from the store, they found most of
the goods which had been stolen.
Realizing that the thief had hid the
