on Freight Train

A bold hold-up occurred on a N.
P. freight train last Friday be-
tween this city and Glendive, two
hoboes sticking up and robbing a
young lad in an emigrant car of
his money and other valuables.
The rascals jumped off the train
on grade after committing the
cowardly deed, but were caught
late in the evening at Wibaux by
the sheriff of Dawson county, but
they succeeded in making their
escape from the officer. who fired
a couple Of shots at them as they
ran. That they are desperate
characters there is little doubt,
and there is also no doubt that
their proper place is behind the
bars of the Montana penitentiary.
where it is hoped they will speed
lily land. The sheriff thinks that
he hit one of the desperadoes, and
if such is the case it is quite like
ly that he will be captured and
dealt with as he deserves.

last night saw the late Clyde Fttch's

recovered from the hysteria which
seized them at the terrible climax.
Men who saw the play declare 1t is
the most realistic, yet horrible dra-
ma ever presented on a metropolitan
stage. New York critics today Went
into ecstasies over the last work OF
the genius and deplore his untimely
death
Tulley Marshall made name fol
himself In one night, they all declare
AS half-demented, degenerate, op
ium fiend he proved to be an actor of

The climax was terrifying. A half
witted opium fiend, married to his
own half-sister. Stays her when he
hears the truth from his half-broth-
er's lips and is then disarmed and
left to meet his doom in the electric
chair. When this climax was reach
ed, the play house was in a pande-
monium. Women shrieked. Many |
of them had to leave the house, un.
able to control their feelings"

tainly the change from shrleks OF
laughter to shrieks of terror are
scarcely to be desired, even though
"TIhe city is a masterpiece There
Is such a lamentable lot of fear and
