ums will compete for championship.

Choral CLUB Concert.

The concert TO be given Friday
evening BY the Choral Club promises
TO be one OF the most interesting
they have ever given. The program
has been arranged with the special
intention of keeping the interest of
the audience from tagging. There
will be vocal solos, piano solos, VIC
lin solos. and piano duets; and the
Club will give seven selections. The
different numbers have been Sc
lected with especial care. combining
as they do the standard works of
the best classical and semi-classical
composers.
The Choral Club has been very
| fortunate in securing. at almost the
last moment. the services of Mr.
Edw. Gruene as violin soloist. Mr.
Gruene has been making a special
study of the violin in New York, and
is reported TO be a very accomplished
musician. The Bryan public can not
well afford to miss hearing this
player.
The Choral Club has been careful
ly training for this concert since the
first of October, and their work shows
polish and an ensemble effect
scarcely ever attained by singing so
cieties Mr.. Graham has had the en-
tire direction of the work this year,
and has given his best efforts TO
working up a highly successful con-
cert. The Bryan public owe it to
j themselves, to the Club, and to the
best interests of the town. to patro-
nize this concert, and thus make pos
sible other and better concerts, and
the securing of the greatest musical
celebrities of the day in recitals here.

Boy Train Robber Convicted.

Albert Hatch, one of the trio of boy
bandits who held up a train on the
Shelby road, was convicted in the
district court at Great Falls last week,
and will be sent to the pe%nitentiary.
The only point for the jury to decide
was the age of the prisoner as be ad.
mitted his guilt, but claimed that he
was under 16 when the crime was COM
mitted.
The defense introduced witnesses to
prove the age of the boy in accord
ance with his claims, but in contr a.
diction of this evidence was the state.
meut of the boy when first arrested
that he vas Is, and other facts going
to substantiate that statement. If the
boy was under 16 he could only be
sent to the reform school. The term
of Imprisonment was left to the court.
Hatch, in company with William
Randall and Henry Rheams, none of
whom were more than II years of age
at the time of the occurrence, held up
the passenger train on the Shelby
branch of the Great Northern, about
a mile west of Great Fails. There ia
q switch there, at the stocky ards. and
the boys broke the lock, and turned
the swicth. When the engine stopped,
Rheams, who had been detailed for
that purpose, pointed his gun at the
engineer and commanded him to stay
where he was. Hatch and Randall
entered the train, the former made the
conductor precede him through the cars
and gather what the passengers were
made to produce.
Randall stood at the door and
watched for any antagonistic moves.
A man named Dempsey was standing
on the platform and started to run
cross the prairie. He was shot in
the leg, presumably by Rheams, and
died a few days later. Another boy
named Creswell had planned to GO,
but at the last minute backed out, and
it was his mother who gave the police
a clue.
