BOLD BURGLARY
AT. MARTIN HOME
In Broad Daylight Thief Breaks
I'm Rear Door, Steals Jewel
ry Valued at 500

One of the boldest burglaries COM
mitted in Bozeman for some time Oc-
curred Saturday between II a. m.
and noon, when the residence of Mrs.
E. B. Martin at S14 South Wilson
avenue, was broken into and $500
worth of jewelry stolen.
An hour later suspect was taken
into custody by the sheriff's force,
bun he proved a complete alibi and
was released. No other arrest has
been made. The only clue to the
identity of the thief or thieves is
some fingerprints upon a piece of
broken glass. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the crime was committed
by someone thoroughly familiar with
the house and the habits of its own
,er.
Mrs. Martin left her home about II
o'clOck to attend to some business
downtown, and it was Between that
time and her return at noon the, bur-
glary occurred. Entrance was OBJ
tanned by breaking the glass panel
Of rear door. The articles stolen
included diamond ring, a small gold
watch and a pair of cuff buttons.

AMERICAN EXPRESS
COMPANY MOTORIZES
DELIVERY SERVICE

No longer will wagons drawn
by horses deliver express pack
ages in BOzeman, for on Wednes-
day the local branch of the Amer
lean Railway Express company
placed in service here two up-tO-
date motor trucks and Old DObbin
was relegated to the sticks.
Rapid increase in the volume of
business. done in this city was the
reason for the change, according to
local express company officials.
With the trucks many more deliv-
cries can be made in a day than
was the case with horses.
The new trucks are of the latest
type, especially equipped for
the particular service required by
the express company. The i'm
prOvement in delivery service
they will make possible will, it is
expected. be appreciated by BOze-
man customers.

WARNS AGAINST
CASHING STOLEN
POSTAL Orders

Warming to dry goods merchants,
drug store proprietors, owners Of pool
halls and other business houses has
been issued by Postmaster w. j.
Fransham in connection with the
cashing of postal money orders stol-
en- from the postoffice at Rutherford,
Calf, not long ago.
By telegraph Mr.. Fransham was
advised Thursday that several of the
stolen orders had been cashed last
Saturday at Yakima, Wash, and it
was thought tat the thieves were
headed in this direction. All per-
sons, Mr.. Fransham said, should
scrutinize all postal money orders
presented for cashing, for by so doing
they may avoid being victimized.
Postoffice inspectors are on the
trail of the thieves and it is expected
that they will be captured within a
few days.

Hotel
FOR BOZEMAN IS
LATEST PROJECT
RUmOred That One-fOurth Of
Sum Needed to Build 100
room HOstelry Pledged

A splendid, modern, 1O0-rOOm hO-
tel, costing approximately 100000,
viii be erected in BOZeman on the
northwest corner of Main and Will
son avenue, if reports prevalent for
the last two weeks prove reliable.
One-fOurth the necessary sum has
already been subscribed, it is said,
and the remainder will be fOrthcOm-
ing in the near future. The project
is being backed by a group of BOze-
nan business men.
Two sets of plans, both of an elab-
crate and comprehensive nature.
have been drawn and submitted to
those sponsoring the movement, the
reports say. No decision upon the
type of building to be put up has
been arrived at, but it may be stated
that it will prove a structure re-
markable for it's beauty, elegance of
appointments, and wealth of convent
| enceS.
1t is understood that the proposed
hotel is intended to cater particular
ly to the tourist trade. If properly
}, planned and built, it is declared, the
hostelTy shoull so far towards max
ing Bozeman the actual center of
tourist traffic in the Northwest. No
time, effort or money will be spared
in the endeavOr, for it is realized
that urless the structure is some
thing far out Of the ordinary, its
primary object will not be achieved.
Details of the plans submitted can
not be yet made public. It is known,
however, that one of them calls for
building of the Spanish style, out
standing for its beauty, and with 100
rooms, a spacious and attractive lob
by, a large yeranda. and garage IA
cilities.
The group of business men behind
the project, it is said, has long real
lied that Bozeman's greatest need is
: large, strictly modern hotel of a
: type of architecture that will instant
{ " appeal. This sentiment has finally
crystallized into a definite movement
E which bids fair to end in success
Several meetings have already beer
e held by the promoters, it has beer
= learned, at which hopeful reports OF
: progress were made and various an
r giles of the project discussed anC
: passed upon.
/. Judging from opinions expressed
J, by many Bozeman folk within the
last fortnight the plan to give this
a city modern hOstelry that will place
: it abreast or ahead of cOmmunitie:

Tuesday evening a Bozeman man,
who has travelled extensively and is
acquainted with the traffic laws of
many large municipalities, satisfied
his curiosity by making little check
on the manner in which Bozeman
autoists observe city traffic regula-

drivers, only two signalled for a turn

however, that but few of the drivers
attempted to cut the corner.
