LONDON, June 1.-The carica-

drawn because of the storm Of criti-

think it will be well to avoid
this misunderstanding by removing

SalesviIle, Their Last Job
That the gang met their Waterloo

bank robbery is the opinion of the
officers at the Jail, one of whom told
yesterday of Coffron, the Canadian,
pushing away some butter that had
been given him with his meals by
saying: take it away. It's rotten.
It came from S~alesville." He evident
ly did not care to see the name of
Salesville, even if only ~inoffensively
printed on a butter wrapper.
Cashier F. L. Stone, of the Salesville
bank, accompanied Sheriff Smith on
the trip to Havre, and returned with
him and the prisoners. He was instru-
mental in positively identifying 2

thus aided materially in fixing re.

Some of the court officials anC
lawyers in Havre said the warrant;

County Attorney E. A. Peterson, were
the most accurate and most neatly

asked Sheriff Smith if all the men il

court of a petition by the majority
stockholders of the bank asking that
he be appointed to that position in
an effort to straighten out the af.
