HORSE STOLEN WEDNESDAY
DEPUTY NELSON GETS THIEF

One of the boldest thefts ever re-
corded in this section of northern
Montana occurred in Malta Wednes-
day morning. When the Patton boys.
who operate dray line in this city,
went to hitch up their teams they
found one of their best horses was
missing. The sheriff's office was
notified at once and Deputy Sheriff
Nelson proceeded to get busy at once
A farmer and his wife from the
south country came in about seven
O'Clock and when they learned of the
robbery of the horse the lady remem-
bered having met young fellow on
a gray horse about six miles from
Malta and when they approached
him he turned his horse down a cou-
lee and staid there until they had
passed.
Deputy Sheriff Nelson got his car
ing Malta about ten O'Clock in the
forenoon. He started for the bad
lands near the Larb Hills, and about
500 p. m. came up on the young
man with the gray horse at the Spen-
Ger ranch where he had stopped to
rest his hard ridden steed. The man
was Ray Schumacher, we'll known
Malta boy, whose parents are highly
respected and reside in the Black
coulee section southeast of Malta.
On being brought to the Phillips
county Jail young Schumached made
a confession to the officers, in that
he was the one who broke into the
Koke harness shop this winter and
stole saddle, spurs and several
other articles. He took Mr.. Koke
and the officers to the cache and
everything was found as he said. The
saddle he used in trying to make his
escape on the stolen horse Wednes-
day
Schumacher is being held in the
Phillips county jail and will be Civ
en- a preliminary hearing this week
on the latter charge Of grand lar
ceny. He is young man and pre-
vious to this has always bourne a
good reputation.

\ nice little story has just coi4a
TO light through Information given
out by al attorney WHO was i'll Malta
this week from Milisto0. II Will be
remembered that some time ago The
Iorter in tho Fifth Avenue hotel. a
man named Raymond, took some
money cut OF the cash drawer and
later was arrested at Havre and given
SIX months i'll the Phillips county
Jail. For some reason this fellow
was given extreme liberty by Sheriff
Shaw and SO one day he hoped on
the afternoon Skidoo, went to Glas-
gov and took a night train to Will
llston. Here he was promptly ar
rested, as there was an old charge
against him and now he is serving
sentence of eighteen months in the
penitentiary at Bismark, N. D. The
funny part Of the PROCEEDINGS is that
there was reward of $3.50 out for
this chap and that he was allowed to
daily go about the streets of Malta.

MANY PRETTY fEOsIs1,
IN THIS CITY NOW.

While the business interests Of
Malta have grown TO a great extent
since Malta became a county seat,
there has also been q steady growth
in the number OF new homes erected
and today Malta can boast Of as
many new homes as any city along
the line.
Back in south Malta on High
street during the past year the old
landmarks have disappeared as il
by magic and in their stead we find
a row OF pretty cottages and modern
bungalows Commencing on Fifth
avenue and walking east along High
street the first home OF note is the
new bungalow erected by 0. f. NC
Kone the Buick man. It is one of
the substantial homes of the city and
finished in the very latest pattern.
Mr. and Mrs. Mckone have been oc-
cupying their new home for about
a month and are more than pleased
with it.
The next mdern home in the row
is that occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. P.
A. Laramy, a neat little five-room
cottage that was built by J. F. Muir
ray about eighteen months ago and
has been occupied by the Laramy
family since their arrival here.
Further up the street we find the
new home Of Henry Plott. This was
completed this spring and is without
| question one OF the prettiest bung-
allows in Malta. 1t is modern
| throughout and cost the owner quite
a neat sum Of money, but the salts
faction of having home to ones
liking is we'll worth the price The
house was built by Contractor Nc
Caughin.
On High street east of Fifth ave-
nue. are more modern homes includ-
| ing those OF William and John Tress-
Ter, Mrs Caselberg, j. T. kilduff, l..
G. Edwards andt he Mcclellan home.
All OF these have beautiful lawns
which adds greatly to the appearance
OF the homes At the end OF the
street is the large roomy home OF
John survant, which is also one ot
the best houses in the city.
We could write much more about
Malta homes but have not the space
in this issue, but at later date will
take up another section Of the cirr.

'70s. has been wrought ipto film form
by Essanay. with Ann Murdock. the

Company.
Fitch. it is believed. would have
been the equal of George Bernard
Shaw hed he lived until his gifts had
developed to their full He was cut
off just as his influence was begin

His gift lay in the creation of situa-

Captain Jinks of the Horse Ma

examples of this gift II is hard to
hold the interest of an audience in the
love element of a drama which satir-
ICES society so mercilessly. Fitch has

character a lovable man and his
female lead a beautiful and tempera-
