DARING BURGLARS
AGAIN At WORK

Notwithstanding the closest possible
watch is kept on strangers and itin-
Grant gentlemen of leisure by the city
police department, an occasional burg.
larry will be pulled OF by second-story
men to whom visit to our stata panal
institution at Deer Lodge holds forth
not the slightest terror.
This time the home OF automobile
taxicab driver, f. ]. Horick, on the
corner Of Sargent avenue and Hughes
street. was entered and upwards Of
$125.00 worth Of pistols and jewelry
stolen.
The robbery occurred some time be-
tween ten o'clock and midnight on
Monday night last, entrance having
been gained by breaking of the screen
door at the back Of the house and then
prying open the inside door with
jimmy. After entering the house, the
burglars broke open the lock of a large
trunk in one of the sleeping rooms and
secured three Colts revOlvers, five
rings, and five and ten dollar gold
piece mounted as watch charms.
Three men were seen by neighbors
around the house on the night
in question, but as they just as quickly
in the darkness nothing
was thought Of the occurance.
A roomer at Mr.. Horick's home
came in before midnight and going to
bed without a light did not notice the
burglary which was not discovered
until Mr.. Horick came home some time
later.
The police have description Of the
missing articles but not Of the thieves
and the possibility Of their capture is, !
% that account, very remote.

it was the states duty to take drastic
action in view of the governments un.
willingness to do SO.
Two train loads of the doomed cattle
left the Glendive yards between seven
and eight o'clock Sunday morning in
charge of Deputy State Veterinarian
A. ]. DuFrene, Federal veterinarians
Drs. Wilson, Lawton and Murphy and
county stock inspector George Twible.
Jr.
The work started at 10 o'clock A.
M, and was not finished until 2:4O
O'Clock in the afternoon. No one ex-
cept those who actually did the shoot
ing, were allowed to go anywhere near
the CATTLE, and all those who made the
trip on the trains, were compelled to
submit to thorough fumigation of
their clothing and their person. This
was considered necessary due to the
extreme infectious nature of the dis
ease and the fact that the germs may
very easily be transmitted by even the
hair of the head.
In an interview with DR.. Butler in
the Hotel Jordan yesterday forenoon,
the Monitor was informed that, as the
infected cattle at Terry had been kill
ed week ago, this big killing at Glen
dive would probably be the last that
would be found necessary unless the
disease would be discovered to have
broken out in other sections of the
state.
The only other infected herd dis
covered by either the Federal or State
officials was on the Thomas RANCH.

be destroyed to-day.
Not only the stock yards, feeding
pens and runaways at Terry must be
but also every stable, barn,
shed, and every bit Of manure must |
be thoroughly drenched with the dis
injecting solution in Terry before the
is lifted.
In the course Of the interview, DR.. /
Butler said, 'There is no need for
alarm by the people Of this OF any
other county in the state that the |
foot and mouth disease will result in
any damage to the general health, as
It is one that effects cattle only, and
even then is not necessarily fatal al
though it renders the cattle unfit for
rood.''
There is hardly any danger Of the
disease spreading to other herds In
he state and there has been no new
cases reported to me up to the present

THAW BRIEF IS FILED
Escape No Crime if He Is In
sane, Counsel Declares.

Concord. y. H.. March 27.-The final
brief I'm behalf OF Harry X. Thaw. on
his petition for writ of habeas corpus
and for admission 10 bail, pending a de-
cson In the matter OF extradition, was
fled in the United States District Court
here to-day.
The document lays stress upon the
claim that the statute under which Thaw
originally was committed TO the insane
asylum at Matteawan is unconstitutional
and therefore it was not crime fol-
him 10 escape from custody: and that
an insane person cannot commit crime
and accordingly cannot be extradited on
a charge OF committing a crime.
The purpose OF the State OF New Norh
being TO return Thaw to Matteawan' II
is making a misuse of the eXtraditior
laws TO accomplish its end" the brief
