TRAIN ROBBER TO
GO TO OLD HOME
CLARENCE YOUNG, AFTER SERV
ING 10 YEARS IN PEN,
is PARDONED
When Youth of "a, Held up North
Coast Limited Near Bearmouth;
Was Sentenced to so Years; Will
Take Care of His Parents.

II Clarence Young, Montana train
robber, after serving 10 years in
the state penitentiary, and pardon
ed this month, has returned to his
old home in Oklahoma to look
after his parents during their old
age, it has been learned.
Young, when youth of "a, held
up the North Coast Limited train
of the Northern Pacific near Bear
mouth on the night of May 81,
1905, singlehanded. Before he had
completed his task of robbing the
safe and while he was off his guard
he was struck down by George
Laub, express messenger, and rem
dered unconscious by blow on
the head.
Later he was sent to the peniten
tiary for so years from Philipsburg
While serving his sentence there he
was sentenced to life because of par.
ticipation in an attempted escape
from the institution which resulted in
the death of an official The break
was led by prisoner named Ste
phens.
The news that young had gone to
his old home in Oklahoma was
brought to Missoula by Dave
Graham, local contractor, at present
working at Arlee, and who was in the
city.
young came to Missoula and
spent a few days after he got out and
then to Arlee to locate a brother

with the brother, Percy, who was
on the Jocko. he returned to Okla
homa to give his parents what COM
fort he could in their latter years.
He told me it was all his own fault,
that he was caught and felt grateful
to those who had assisted in getting
The pardon, although he said he had
always been treated fine at the peni-
.entiary during his long stay there"
Mr.. Graham was sheriff of Mis-
'oula county at the time of the hold
lp of the train and last year was
me of those who circulated the petit
ions to be given to the prison board
lsking for Young's release.
Young was well known in Missoula

At the time of the holdup and after |
,oung had been knocked down, mem
ers of the train crew feared Young |
vas the inside man and that others
7ere outside the car and would make
rouble. Even after his arrest, it
yas thought others were in on the
oldup, although Young maintained
e did it alone. The story is that
Dung carefully planned the holdup
nd secured the powder used in blow

The gold was saved, but Beidler
later learned that Orr and big

with the robbers, provided the
holdup was successful; and that
big Nick" had his dividend"
from the six thousand dollars
taken while he was messenger.
Both Judge Munson and Colonel
A. K. Mcclure, have spoken in the
highest terms of the courage dis
played by Beidler, both as a vigil
lantte and as deputy United States
marshal. In addition. Colonel Nc
~lure says of him: ]. x. Beidler
was a humorist and something of
/ philosopher. He is often called

His death occurred at Helena in
January, 1890, where he is buried,

George Ives also took mule o
| Beidler's, and claimed he had rid
den it seventy-five miles for
number of days. Beidler told hin
| if he ever rode it again he woult
kill him. This did not end TIL
trouble, nor increase Beidler's Xix
/ ing for Gallagher and Ives. Th'
latter asked Beidler DO you know
who I am ?" to which interrogation
Beidler instantly replied, eyes,
think you are thief from the way
you have acted" And then in true
western fashion, they both went
into a saloon and took a drink
Beidler paying for the treat.
After the murder of Dillingham;,
which was perpetrated in broad
daylight, and in the presence of
witnesses, Jack Gallagher, as de-
putty sheriff, declared the murder
ers acquitted. The murdered man
remained unburied until Beidler
made his coffin and dug his grave.
From this, we infer that 'X." had
added to his other trades that of
undertaken.
Meanwhile Beidler was becom-
ing thoroughly acquainted with
the road agents, and they with him,
as the following, from letter sent
him, indicates:
81 x. Beidler:
1--WE herewith give you notice
that we intend to kill you at the
first opportunity that offers and
will give you no more time to pre-
pare for death than the many men
you have murdered"
(Signed) carbohydrates.
There was no doubt on the part
of the writers of this letter as to
what Beidler would do to them, if !
he had the opportunity and they
wished him to understand that they
we're only too willing to recipro-
cate. That they failed to kill him
vas due to his being able to thwart
heir plans through provision, or
good craftsmanship.
Beidler gives a thrilling account
n his journal of an instance when
hese two characteristics of his
TODD him in good stead. He was
lcting as messenger for Wells,
fargo company's express, running
rom Helena to Salt Lake City, at

Sheen Herder Kills

Clarence Williams, 81, is under ar
rest at Dillon, charged with shooting
to death George Harrison, 60. Ac-
cording to the Dillon officers, Will
liams admitted the shooting, which
ership of revolver and over money
which Williams claimed Harrison
owed him. The two men met in the
street and death is said to have been
instantaneous when the shot was
fired practically without warning.
The only witness was small girl
playing in yard, and she has given
only an incoherent account. The two
men had been employed as sheep
herders and occupied adjoining ca
bins. Both were unmarried and no
relatives have been located.

i On the occasion mentioned Beid
Ter alone had charge of the gold
$4,000 worth, to Pleasant Valley
where two other men would JON
him for the nights ride. Beidlei
did not like the aides assigned him
One of them, Frank Orr, he sale
was thief, and the other, "Big
Nick" Beidler had arrested in Hell
ena for making bogus gold dust
and had sent him to Jail, from
which he escaped, the jails of that
period being none too trustworthy.
The further circumstance of his
having ten days earlier thrown up
his hands, enabling road agents to
escape with $1,000 he was hired to
protect, did not contribute to his
desirability as an assistant mes
senger.
Beidler's suspicious were arous-
ed; and on reaching Pleasant Val
ley he announced that he would
ride inside the coach with big
Nick" instead of outside with the
driver, as was his custom. Orr, he
said, could ride outside. There
were no passengers, as few persons
cared to take chances when treas
ure was sent.
At the mouth of Beaver canyon,
when the six horses were being
changed at the station, Beidler saw
Nick and Orr whispering together
near the stable. Calling the driver
to him, he told him, in case of
1oldup, if he cared for his life, not
20 put on the brake, but to lash
he horses into run, and he,
3eidler, would have his head and
shoulders out of the coach window
IN the drivers side.
From the mouth of Beaver Can
ION to Little Dry Creek, where
most of the holdups occurred, was
hree miles. When they had gone
bout a mile big Nick" asked !;
}eidler, What will you do if you
re halted"
Beidler replied: 81 am getting
ESQ per month to fight to save
reasure, and I will shoot at the
irst thing that crawls."
Nick suggested that they give up
ne gold; go on half mile, and
hen walk back and capture the
obbers. This brilliant scheme did
OF appeal to Beidler. Instead, he
ut his head out of the coach win
ow and called to the driver, Hold
our lines we'll in hand and let
lem run" The account contin-
IS:
"The moon was full and bright

Natures Law Upset

A rather peculiar incident in ami
NAL life is reported to have occurred
at the e. e. Wheeler farm east of
Froid and is vouched for by Mr..
Wheeler himself, who claims that a
litter of five pigs was born to the
mother animal on certain date and
that in another seven days a family
of six healthy young squealers were
given birth by the same mother pig.
Aside from one or two of the number
being smothered to death the little
fellows are well and hearty.

Ton of Ore Shipped to East Helena
Shelter, Which Ran Over $50
Ounces in Gold; 1877 Ounces in

Giving promise of ranking with
the famous gold discoveries of the
Cable mine west of Anaconda, the
Mayflower of Madison county, the
Drum Lummon at Marysville, and
other properties which resulted I'm
naming Montana the Treasure
state 40 years ago, the strike of
free gold made on the 400 foot
level of the Katie mine at Basin
on May III has been an important
topic with Montana mining men
during the past several weeks.
Mining engineers and geological
experts of Butte, Helena, and other
cities have inspected the new find
and all are optimistic as to the fut-
ure of the Jib Consolidated Min
ing company.
More than 20 years ago when the
Katie was a new and small mine,
finds of free gold were made on nu-
merous occasions but those discover
les showed no such area although
hey averaged as high in gold values
rs the present strike.

The present find was made in vir-
yin ground, we'll to the west end of

1t is the intention of the
to crosscut for this vein
IN the 500 foot level, the present
lotion depth, and also on the 800
nd 200 foot levels.
The picture ore or free gold shoot
5 close to the foot wall of a 27-foot
Elm. The four feet adjoining the
DOT wall is high grade ore; the free
old shows in the center of this four
eet and averages from 10 to IS
lches in width.

Did and 1874 ounces in silver.
After the vein was cut on May IL,
lie management went east 100 feet
/ the 400-foot level from the dis
very, crosscut, and again encoun-
red the high-grade. Drifting on the
dge, both east and west, at both
aces, apparently proves that the
cture ore is continuous in this sec
on. To date this streak has been
sveloped for distance of 135 feet

Inspires Optimism
One feature of the big strike at
asin is the universal moral support
corded the Jib by mining men in
| sections of Montana. 1t has been
llowed by pronounced feeling of
'timism, after several years of de-
ession in Montana mining opera

Nv Benton, often saw, sit
- ting out of doors near TIL
hotel, short thick-set man, sur
rounded by a group of persons
who seemed to be greatly interest
ed in what the little man had tt
say. He was never alone, but al
ways held court in the midst of adj
mirers. There he sat, day after
day, with his hat pushed back or
his round head, and held forth to
his audience, who did some of the
talking, to be sure, but were quite
willing that he should have the
monopoly of the conversation.
After time I learned that the
little man was no other than John
x. Beidler. with whose name I was
familiar from the days of the Vigil
lantes-a name associated with
many deeds of daring. I no longer
wondered at his being the center
of attraction for other men, and |
wished I could question him re-
garding his part in Kidding the ter
ritory of the bandits who once
ruled it.
Unfortunately it was out of my
power to do SO, and | gained my
knowledge of Beidler's exploits
from his journal, or what heard
of him in 1868. The Vigilance
committee had no sooner been or
ganized than "X'' became a prom
inent figure in the public eye. Att
first no one knew whether he could
be relied upon to act with the law
and order forces. But that was not
strange. Many others, good men
and true, were suspected of sym
pathy with the road agents. Sus-
picion then was universal, and con-
tinued to be so until the test of ser
vice revealed those who could be
trusted.
1t did not take long for the
Vigilantes to discover that they
had no drawer, no more loyal mem
Der than x. Beidler. The road
agents learned early where to place
him, and they feared him. Like
Alexander, in the old rhyme:
"'Twas not his stature made T.
him great"
or dreaded by the 1awless element,
but his marvellous rapidity of both
thought and action. Some one has
said that no westerner is ever de-
picted, on the stage, or elsewhere,
who is not quick on the draw"
Beidler certainly was typical
according to this stand
ard, as he handled a pistol with
speed and dexterity, as the despera-
1oes had ample proof.
Born on August IA, 1881 in Ian I
,aster County, Pennsylvania, his :
lame of Beidler would indicate he T
vas of German lineage. While in

Kansas, and for a time became a
aloon-keeper. The lure of Pixies
'eak drew him to Colorado in '58,
where he failed to make a fortune,
nd he decided to seek it elsewhere.
With this in view, he came to Alder |
ir1ch in 1868, soon after its dis |
overy. /
Almost at once he came in con- H
act with the road agents. He let i
ack Gallagher take his mare, with \
lie proviso that it was to be re Il
lrned in a half hour Gallagher II

GUNS

Gums are the soft, fleshy
parts of the jaw which surround
the teeth.
Their purpose is to guide the
food past the teeth, to prevent
infection, to cover the roots of
the teeth and hold them in
place.
Amy injury or infection causes
inflammation, recession, tender
ness and bleeding, with loss of
support to the teeth.
When your too e b brush
'shows pink" or your mouth has
a bad odor, get Pyradium to
prevent the spread of infection.
