BROAD DAYLIGHT ROBBERY
lAE FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL

Wednesday noon while Proprie-
tor McIlwain of the Fifth Avenue
hotel was eating his dinner, the till
in the main office was broken open
and about SIC in currency and sill
yer taken. A number of checks in
the till were not disturbed. Suspicion
pointed to Bob Raymond who has
been acting as porter at the hotel for
some time past and as he could not
be found warrant was sworn out
Tor him. Later it was learned that
he boarded No. ! here about noon
and the sheriff's Office wired to Chi
nook and the train was searched at
that point but Raymond was not
found, but little later wire from
Havre stated that he had been ap-
pretended in the yards at the gas
city as he was leaving the train
when it slowed down to enter the
yards 1t was learned that one Of
the brakemen on No. l had secreted
the culprit in a closet at Chinook
when the train was searched there
and that was the reason he was not
arrested at the Blaine county CAPT
tol. Sheriff Shaw went to Havre on
No. last night and will bring Ray
mond back here today for prelim-
mary hearing.
Mr.. McIlwain says that Raymond
was one of the best men he ever had
in his employ and was more than
surprised that he would commit a
petit larceny trick like the above
He had been employed at the hotel
about a month

day night this wall remained intact
and the fire did not seem to damage
it to any extent.
In it's time this historic old land
mark has housed many notables of
the state and nation It has always
been the headquarters for the var
ious large sheep and cattle men of
the northern part of the state and
nearly all their help was secured by
application through the hotel, and
especially during the management
of the late Phillip Caselberg. After
the death of Mr.. Caselberg it was
under the management Of Mrs. Cas-

to when she will rebuild or make
any improvements on the property,
but expects to do so when the insur-
urance is adjusted. Her loss
on the building and property by fire

The Hotel Malta, or better known
as the Caselherg hotel, was built
about 26 years ago by Elisha V.
Tucker for Mrs. Hyatt, now Mrs.
Arthur Cavanaugh. Mrs. Hyatt ran
the hotel for number of years and
then Mrs. Quinn was the landlady
for time, followed by Mrs. Susan
Barrett. mother Of A. j. Barrett Of
Dodson, and who recently died at
her home in Chinook. Several 9TH
ers whose names could not be re-
called by old timers last evening,
had charge of the hostelry at various
times until fourteen years ago last
May when Mr. and Mrs. Caselberg
arrived from Minnesota and took
charge of the house.
Under the Caselberg administra-
ton various changes were made in
the building and brick veneer wall
on the front and one side built. 1t

was doomed. After
the water was
turned on it was
not long until the
flames were under
control and what
would have been a
total loss without
the fire fighters
was turned into on
ly a partial loss.
C'has. Henry,Who
was operating the
hotel, states that
he cannot under
stand how the fire
could have started,
as there were no
fires during the
day in any OF the
stoves in the up

Shortly after seven o'clock Tues

THE LIFE OF OUR SAVIOUR
SEVEN REL Masterpiece

This picture was produced by the
we'll known Pathe corporation in
France and in the Hol-- Land and
released Dec. Gath. There nave
been many attempts at productions
of the kind but the Pathe company
has succeeded in getting the master
piece of them all. The compilation
of this chronology of Jesus is truly
an achievement worthy of the high
est praise as it truthfully portrays
with grace and dignity his suffering
and final achievement
Aside from being a masterpiece
in itself, the fact that the entire 7
reels are beautifully hand colored
an art which only Pathe has mas
tered, makes this production doublv
interesting.
The Orpheum extends an urgent
invitation to the ministers and
church members of Malta to see this
great work. Prices announced later
