UN|NASKED BANDITS
HOLD Up DRUGGIST
ON THE SOUTH SIDE
Gagged With His Own Necktie,
Walked for Blocks, Left
Bound in Alley.

George Delphy. proprietor of drug
store at T0f Fifth avenue south, was
held up shortly before midnight Wednes-
day night two blocks from his store by
two men, one of whom he sa,d was tall
and the other short. They were not
masked.
With his own necktie they gagged him
then led him for ten blocks about the
south side. and finally into the alley be-
hind his own store. They then attemp-
ted to break into the store.
Unable to force an entrance, then
again took him down the street until
they reached 600 Fifth street south
where they searched him. Walter Mar
colt. who resides at that place, was wax
ened by the commotion. Looking out Of
his window he saw the two men working
on Delphy. Going to another room he
secured his rifle, but by the time he had
loaded it and returned to the window.
they had disappeared with their victim.
They took Delphy this time two
blocks further down the street into an
alley. where they used his belt to tie his
fet and his tie to fasten his hands to-
gether Marcott in the meantime noti
fled the police. who found Delphy just
two minutes after he had worked HIM
self loose from his fastenings.
To an early hour this (Thursday)
morning no trace had been found of the
bandits. Delphy had no money In bis
pockets, and lost nothing, he says.

learned that the windows in the room
were not barred. He had, he knew, to
win his way to one of these windows be-
fore he could hope to make n break and
that he found way to reach the window
was due only to the arrival Of the one
favorable chance out of the thousand
that were against him.
After his return to Great Falls in the
custody Of Sheriff Burns Brandon main
tanned a sudden silence, refusing always
to give an account of himself Or to dis

obtain counsel was made Wednesday af-
tcrnoon. He asked Jailer Joe McClintock
to summon Attorney A. Fl. Gray, but the

old and crude policy Of laying off men

purpose of driving them in fright and
