DARING HOL.DUP
Six Men Secure $1,000 After Desper.
ate Deed.

Great Falls, Mont. Dec. 3.-one OF
the most daring cases of hold nm
taking place in northern Montana re-
Gently occurred last evening at an
early hour in Collins, Teton county
town on the Shelby line Of the Great
Northern. The hold up was more in
the nature of a series Of robberies in
which a number Of individuals lost
sums the aggregate gains of the rob
bers being in excess Of $1,000.
Over $1,000 was secured from the
store of the Boorman Merchantile
company. while smaller sums were
taken from individuals held up on
the streets or in the railroad yards.
According to passengers who ar
rived in the citv from Collins the
first robbery was that of the hold
ing up of the crew of a work train
in charge of Isaac E. Greer from the
various members Of which about $50
were secured. The holdups then
turned their attention to gang of
Italian railroad laborers from whom
$125 were secured. Emboldened by
their success the gang. In which
there are supposed to have been six
men. went to the store of the Boor-
man Merchantile company and while
three remained outside correspond
ing number entered the place and
ordered the inmates to hold up their
hands. The demand was enforced nv
several revolvers in the hands of the
robbers.
The men in the store. including the
clerks and several customers, we're
compelled to dig up what money they
had upon their persons and then one
OF the clerks was compelled to open
the safe and hand over a package
containing $1,000. which had been ro-
ceived by express during the day.
Before leaving the store the men
Informed those inside that they were
about to hold up saloon and that IL
any OF them as much as put his head
out Of the store he would be shot.
Filing a couple of bags with clothing
and provisions the trio then left and
parties arriving later reported having
seen six men running away fro0
town in the direction of Choteau.
The three men who entered the
store are reported to have been dis
guised, two wearing masks and the
third having his face blackened.
Warnings were Immediately sent
out from Conrad by telephone and It
is understood that poses were sent out
from Choteau and other places to I'm
tercept the robbers.
From the meager description given
1t is the belief of the Great Falls DO
lice that the guilty parties were in
Great Falls last week. and that sever-
al Of them were in Jail here being re-
leased on Saturday. There were six
in this gang and they are thought to
be the same parties:

In making the appointments Presi-
dent Taft has addressed q letter, In
part as follows, to each member Of
the committee:
"The time has come when the
American Red Cross should be plac-
ed on q permanent and efficient basis
by an endowment fund whose income
will enable It to be prepared at all
times to carry out tho purposes for
which It. has been created. It is the
authorized ofllcial organization Of the
United States for volunteer aid In
time OF war or great disaster.
"The funds for relief work received
BY the American Red Cross within
the last i've years amounted to near
ly $5,000,000 and proved the conf
dence the public places In the society.
Public confidence is most important,
but 1t is Of equal importance that the
society should be. able to maintain an
organization which is capable Of ad-
ministerings such large funds to the
greatest advantage. The experience
in relief matters gained by a per-
manent orsanfzation isf beyond ques-
tion. and insures far ADLER and
wiser expedfture Of relief funds than
can be secured by temporary !. and
suddenly created committees.
Experience has shown that in
cases ofHgreat disasters. such as oc-
CURED at San Francisco and In italy,
large contributions are received by
the Red Cross, but in the constantly
recurring dfsasters where smaller
communities are stricken and should
receive certain assistance, the con-
tributions are far too small to meet
the need. Moreover, In the case Of
great disasters, the Red Cross should
have such q balance on hand az to
enable It to take immediate action
without .being, forced to wait until
contributions are received.
"The brief statement In regard to
the endowment fund Of the, American
Red Cross compared with those Of
the societies Of several other nations
shows how far this country is be-
hind In this respect.

The pes Moines River

Creston Advertiser: Major Meigs,
the government civil engineer who left
Des Moines on a launch to Investigate
the navigability of the Des Moines
river, reports that he has found the
river navigable to Its con fuence with
the Mississippi and that it contains q
greater depth of water than some Ger
man rivers which carry large COM
merce. 1t is no doubt true that the
Des Moines river can be made nav.
igable and 1t is no doubt true that
millions of dollars are being expended
by the government upon river i'm
provements which are no more prom
Using, but to those familiar with the
stream it seems like an appalling
waste of money to try to make 1t
commercially navigable. There will
undoubtedly come time when
streams like the Des Moines will be
used for commerce, but in the mean
time 1t is safe to say that hundreds
of millions OF dollars will be wasted
by the government upon projects o.
this kind.

Sunday Amusements.

Iowa City Republican: If the Re
publican would say that in few years
Sunday amusements would be common
in practically all the communities OF
the country, protest would be madn.
We are willing to invite the protect.
The Republican $ not encouraging
such things. but it can see the trend.
Five years ago Sunday ball CANT
were not common; now they are play
ed in all the towns and the country
near here, and generally over tne
state. Sunday games are features in
all the leagues, both national and MI
nor. Sunday theaters are common in
most of the cities of Iowa. Some will
oppose and denounce this tendency,
but it is not likely any attention will
be paid to the opposition. The Repub-
lican would like to suggest that in
stead of fruitless opposition, efforts be
made to eliminate undesirable fea.
lures of Sunday amusements. There
are some who still object to dancing,
but most people have ceased opposi-
ton and seek to find desirable COM
pany for their young people where so
cial dancing can be carried on without
evil associations. In the larger cities
the authorities are seeking to elm
! mate drinking and the presence OF
bad women and men from places
where people gather for amusements
| 10th week days and Sundays.
Things may not go as you woult
like, but they go just the same and i
would seem the better way is to do the
best that can be done under the cir
cumstances. If the Republican could
have its way, and II the people woult
do and think as it thinks they should
many things now done would not hap
pen. especially on Sundays, but this i
a big world, with many kinds OF pee
pie and with as great variety o
opinions and ways as there are kind
of people.
But mark the prediction: Sunda
amusements will take on better forn
and are here to stay.

When an accident happens on the
Pennsylvania system 1t is the policy
Of the company to give out state
ment to the newspapers giving all the
essential facts. The management of
the Pennsylvania realizes that upon
these occasions it is of the greatest I'M
portance that the number and names
OF persons who may be injured should
be made known Immediately. This, 1t
is felt, is all the more urgent as a
means of relieving the anxiety OF fam
lilies and friends of passengers who may
be on the train. The cooperation Of
the newspapers is necessary to secure
accuracy in publication of reports of
accidents The end to be achieved is
so eminently desirable, from the
points of view of the public, that the
company believes the newspapers may
be relied upon to instruct their repre-
sentatives to cooperate with it in see
ing that facts only are printed. Com
menting on this policy of the Pennsyl-
vania company. prominent officer Of
one OF the Iowa trunk lines Is quoted
as saying that if representatives of the
press would apply to the proper Off
GERS for news of accidents it would
prevent publication OF great deal OF
misinformation.

poLLlvER,s ACHIEVEMENT.

In an amusing speech in the senate
Monday afternoon Senator Rayner Of
Maryland discussed In airy fashion
the positions taken by a number OF MS
fellow senators on the tariff question.
Ou- senior Iowa senator came In Tor
a share Of attention and was compli-
mented on having achieved the great
est act ever performed In what the
speaker called the citadel OF pro-
lection, Senator Rayner said in
speaking OF Delivers address:
Il have seen the senate and the
house held for hours upon great con-
stitutional and governmental questions
by men Of eloquence and power, put
any man who can throw his emotions
into the wooden and cotton schedules
and captivate the senate for two days
by the charms of his oratory and the
sparkling humor of his repartee De.
serves the admiration of posterity. II
was a great and dazzling feat that the
senator from Iowa undertook. It was
an intellectual athletic achievement
that has hardly ever been equaled up
on the floor of this chamber.
Senator Rayner also described Sen
ator Cummins' part in an interesting
and humorous fashion.

brought the first cardinal bird to Des
Moines to make inquiry concerning the
cardinal further south. DR.. j. M. Silaf-
fer is an authority Of such matters and
he tells The Gate City:
It is gratifying to learn that Iowa
is gaining rather than losing in beau

become common in Iowa it is matter
of no small moment to lovers of
nature.

after search of the records of the

able to show that the court has re-

follows:
Case of a Missouri murderer. con-
viction set aside and new trial order

Another murder case ordered 10 new
trial because the word breast" in IN

Another murderer got new trial

stated that the victim did instantly
