arrested last night by Officers Vance
and Carver and Night Chief Mcdonald
and taken to the city Jail, aSer pulling
off a stunt in the Missoula Mercan-
tile company store. by which sne OF

Of $97.5 so.
About $50 last evening Officer

camille companys store. where he ar

by Sergeant Carver and Night Chief
Mcdonald. Allen told n story of how
he had met several other men and
committed several robberies. He de-
scribed one of his companions as the

furs. He also volunteered to show the
officers to the other mans room over
the postoffice. where a lot more stuff,
several pairs of new trousers. four
bolts of silk, some gloves and a bolt
of cloth for the lining of coats was
found hidden next to the mattress on

them early in the evening and sus-
pected the two men who were after
wards arrested. The officers were
looking for the men suspected of rob-
bing the Donohue store when the shop
lifting act at the NJ NJ store was re-
ported.

COMPANY OFFICIALS.

Cherry. ILL.,. Dec. Admission lat.
today by Fred II. Buck, clerk in the
office Of the st. Paul Mining company
that he had seen and talked with AL
exander Rosenjack. the missing wit
ness who, it is believed. can clear
up the cause Of the mine disaster
came as a climax to a day of interest
ing developments in the investigations
by the coroner and the state investi-
eating committee.
Buck told the jury he had seen
Rosenjack in Cherry last night, and
Notwithstanding the fact that he knew
of the desire of Coroner Malm to pro-
cure his attendance at the inquest,
had made no effort to advise the au-
thoritiss Of his whereabouts
Mrs. Love testified that her brother
was taken away from his home in an
automobile after he had been sent for
by officials of the mine and had gone
To the office to confer with them.
Mrs. Love said he had no money and
had not even drawn his last two
weeks pay. If il had not been for
some persons coming to take him
away he never would have left Cher
ry. she said.

amin HAS SUCCESS
IN HAMILTON
STATE SENATOR VISITS VALLEY
WITH PETITION FOR sPE-
ciAL SESSION.

Senator j. r. Amin OF Columbus. q
r.ember of The state iegisiatu-s fror
Yellowstone county. was in The city
last nigi; from Hamilton. where n,
went TO interview the Ravalli county
legislators in regard to the pttition tC
Governor Norris to call a special ses-
sion OF the legislature to consider an
appropriation providing for the use OF
Columbus sandstone in the construc-
ton Of the new wings for the state
capitol at Helena.
Said Senator Amin last evening to
Missoulian reporter: Il went to
Hamilton with the petition and met
with the best of success. Senator
Romney and others signed it. and
after left the city, Mr.. Connolly. who
is also on the same business. was in
Hamilton. and he will secure the sigma
trres of the other Ravalli county legis-
lators While we are having this talk
! would like to correct an erroneous
impression which seems TO prevail
among the Montana people / want to
say that the Montana Sandstone COM
pany. which was the second lowest
bidder on the wings for yhe capitol. is
absolutely free from jobbery or graft
oe any kind. We insist. We people
from Yellowstone county who are ac-
quainted with the conditions, that the
Columbus stone can be laid down in
Helena as cheap as can the Bedford,
Ind. stone. The state capitol commits
sion. through the architect, has pro-
vided for an enormous amount OF
carved stone to enter into the con-
struction of the additions to the states
building. and this Is what makes the
difference in price between our stone
and the Bedford stone. which received
the contract. The expenses of carving
the Columbus stone are very large as
compared with the other. Men work
ing for the Montana Sandstone COM
pany have stated that the Montana
material In so much harder that only
about half as much can be cut per
day as can ba*cut using the Bedford
stone. This. added to the higher wages
paid in Montana, is what makes the
difference in cost between the two
kinds of stone.
to call special session of the state
legislature Is so that an appropriation
of $4,000. the difference in cost of the
N"o hihhs vi Van De passed. We
believe that we should use home prod
ucts and patronize home industries.
especially In our public Buildings. Even
with the desired appropriation we con-
tend that our stone Is not chsting any
more than the other. The Montana
stone Is so much better, both in hard
ness and in flre-resisting qualities,
that II will far outlast the other stone
and we maintain that in the long run
the Columbus sandstone would be
cheaper. We do not lay any blam,
on the capitol commission. for il was
allowed only 100000 for the purpose.
and it is obvious that that sum is not
sufficient. Therefore we are asking
for the special session Of the legisla-
ture and after that for the appropria-
ton"
Mr.. Amin will leave this morning
for his Home in Columbus. He viii go
directly to his home. as he has been
away for some time. He went along
the Great Northern from Glasgow to
kalispen and is compelled to returs
home Immediately.

/ LEHON ALL AROEND.

Express agents and baggage masters
are not immune from mistakes, as was
ably proven yesterday to Jack Hal
frich. local agent for the Wells Fargo
Express company. \ couple of days
ago there arrived on the Puget Sound
railroad in Missoula man by the
name of Nichols. who presented a
baggage check for a suit case which
had been forwarded from Lennon
\. ID. The agent glanced at the
check and saw that the baggage had
been checked tn Mussellshen, sta
ton east Of Missoula the checking
agent evidently having been confused
by the slight similarity in names
That matter was fixed up by having
the suit case forwarded to Missonla.
After receiving the piece of baggage.
MIR. Nichols went To the Wells Fargo
office and told the new clerk that he
wanted In check IL 10 Como. The
clerk, not very familiar with local
names. as Como In on the Northern
Pacific and not on the Puget Sound,
said, one dollar and forty cents TO
Tacoma" Mr.. Nichols remarked on
the high tariff for such small di>
tance. but was informed that that
was the rate to Tacoma. The bacsas,
was shipped IL Tacoma. and some
what later Mr.. Nichols discovered
that mistake had been made. The
matter was finally adjusted and !,
Wire sent To Tacoma tn return the
suit case 10 Missoula. But in the
meantime Mr.. Nichols is wondering
where he can procure change of
raiment.
The coincidence of it all is that Mr..
Nichols went Erom LemonyilIe. Mo,
To Lennon. \. ID. The biggest lemon
Of all was, however. saved for him
