Geo. Saunders Mistaken for An
other and Arrested-Mistake
is Discovered.

George Saunders, who has been
employed in the johnson Hotel bar
Tor some time past, was surprised
beyond measure last Friday when
man with an official bearing
walked up to him and informed
him that he was under arrest and
not to offer any resistance. Dumb
founded, Saunders inquired as to
what the nature Of the charge
against him was, whereupon the
man with the official bearing un-
folded the dark career Of daring
criminal, and said that at least the
dangerous man had been run down
and would soon be gracing a cell at
Deer Lodge.
1t appeared that man by the
name OF Saunders had jumped big
board bill ut Bozeman, and learning
that he had come to Roundup,
Deputy Sheriff Bull was sent over
with 4 warrant of arrest. The
deputy sighted George Saunders,
and without looki ~ further, or
making any effort te ascertain
whether he had the right man or
not, proceeded post taste to read
the warrant and officially declared
him under arrest.
Saunders expostulated but all in
vain. The more Saunders expos
tulated, the more the deputy was
convinced that he had the right
man. Saunders was taken to Boz
eman where he was confronted with
the wrathy landlady, who was Just
preparing to read the riot act to
him in 'steen different languages
when she discovered that the wrong
Saunders had been arrested where
upon she beat hasty retreat.
Saunders returned to Roundup a
few days after wounded in feelings
and swearing vengeance on his
namesake, and just in time to pre-
vent his friends here from commence
ing habeas corpus proceedings.

story Of the career OF Rev. J. G..

Ten years ago, he determined to 90

sources amounted to 70 cents in
cash, plus determination and am

and poor soil. Ten years ago he

unentered tract OF eighty acres and

Th" idea Of you thinking of such
a thing" remarked Mrs. Clark
You are a Methodist preacher and

Ten-Pound Can Of Powder and Severe
ly Burns Ed. Boland He
Will Recover.

An explosion of a ten-pound can
of powder occurred in the No. 2
mine of the Republic Coal Company
at this place Tuesday afternoon,
but aside from severely burning Ed.
Boland, miner, who was standing
close by, and causing considerable
excitement, no great damage was
done.
The accident happened in one of
the rooms, and was caused by a
spark from the lamp of Boland
falling into the powder can. A ter
rife explosion followed and it is a
miracle that Boland escaped with
his life. His shirt was burned off
to the waist and his face, arms.
hands and back badly blistered and
burned. Another miner was in the
room at the time Of the explosion,
but being some distance from the
can escaped unhurt.
Roland was Immediately taken
to the surface and the company's
ambulance sent for. He was brought
to town and is now confined in the
hospital where he will recover, altho
it will be several weeks before he
will be able to return to work.

National Bank Of Montana, and one
Of the directors Of the First National

Uncle Sam Urges Campaign on Rodents

However valuable cats may be as
mousers, few OF them learn to catch
rats. The ordinary house cat is too
well fed and consequently too lazy to
undertake the capture of any animal
as formidable as the brown rat. Birds
are much more to its liking.
Rats have developed so much intel
ligence and such extraordinary caution
that attempts 10 exterminate them
have rerely succeeded. The failures
have been due not so much TO a lack
of effective methods as a lack of GER
tain precautions and absence of con-
certed action"
The department In bulletin empha-
sizes the Importance OF rat clubs and
suggests that interest in organized rat
hunts may be stimulated by Offering
prizes or rewards in various commu-
mites TO the individual hauling forth
the greatest number Of dead rats after
one of the crusades.
Pamphlets dealing with the rodent
problem and suggestive OF ways In
which the rat may be eventually rout-
ed from its haunts have been scat
tered broadcast among the farms and
villages all over the United States.
and the department expects to make
its campaign in this directs one of
thoroughness.

Wishing Tree Where Wishes Come True

There we're more believers in the

now, but that does not mean that
there are not a great many who be.
lieve in It today. Nor is the number
by any means confined to the old
"mammies," "aunties" and other black
folk. Ninety-nine per cent OF the
persons who pass under the tree on
their way through the square probably
never heard or read OF II. But there
are others. and in this case there are
great many Others
The most marvellous stories are told
about the tree, and many Of the
stories have believers. Also many OF
stories have some element of truth
about them. In many cases II is a
great deal of story and a very min

cause there is some truth in them
that the tree has such a clientele.
Faith does not cure all the ills that

are sure that II cures In some in

The thousands OF wishes that are
made under the wishing tree may end
up in only one coming true. but tho
wisher who has been rewarded by its
favor never loses an opportunity to
sing it's prasises. and that is what
makes the wishing tree so much more
famous than any of the other trees
