In the next car he facetiously an

duty to perform in relieving the gen.

ladies need have no fear; they would
not be molested.
The first passenger was slow to re-

The car yielded S274.
The sleeping car melted about $3.50,
with Pullman Conductor Rowley CIV

Webb Smith, a former Livingston
employe of the Northern Pacific, re-
turning from an eastern trip, and
Charles H. Spencer of New York and
J. H. Hall of Maine, Yellowstone park
tourists, left the train at Livingston
and gave vivid descriptions of their ex-
periences.
Smith had a bullet, pried from the
coach wall just above his head, as a
souvenir of the occasion. He gave up
$18 to the robbers, but kept $3.50 which
he had concealed. Hall gave up every
thing he had-some $90-and had to

natural runways of wild horses in
flight. The truck is driven down the
backbone ridge to where the rib joins
and a roper and his horse are unloaded
and concealed. The truck Is run back
out Of sight.
When the sweat covered horses now
under a mechanical lope pass the con-
cealed roper, he springs out, picking
one for his loop: Now the wonderful
the badland horses is shown. Although
they have perhaps been running for
hours under a broiling sur through the
badlands and appear played out, the
new burst Of speed is remarkable.
When the roper takes after one,
that horse runs for the timber and
short coulees, making the work ex-
tremely hazardous. The roper may get
his horse in 100 yards or he may run
come back with an empty loop.
. It is a keen contest between the top
hands of the horse country and the
toughest horses in that country, some
times one winning and sometimes the
other.
Wild horses left in the breaks after
three years Of attractive prices owe it
to intelligent leadership. The leader
is no always a stallion. It may be an
Old mare or a saddle horse gone wild.
In some localities there is talk Of
shooting the leaders but from all over
the range country come protests. Such
an act is unworthy Of the men who
follow the game and it not apt to be-
come popular.
Every rancher and rider taking part
In these chases is pledged to send
these horses to market as captured.
They are a nuisance on the range but
become as gentle and docile, as barn
yard colts when properly broken.

FIRST Tram Robbery in M0ntana Occurred
Near ZlU1N&5hn in 1883; BandIty Ba68ed

ton, east of Billings, the Northern Pa
cific track, then only about six years
old, ran through a four-foot cut. The
fast trains schedule put it over this
section of the road at night. The night
of June 16, 1888, Engineer Sargent say
a signal torch ahead in the cut. He
thought it meant danger on the track.
He stopped the train.
The roDpers appeared on the fire
mans side of the locomotive, and he
quickly grasped the situation and in
formed Sargent, who tried to start the
train again. This drew a fusillade of
shots from Winchesters, the bullets
flying through the cab uncomfortably
close to the enginemen. Sargent closed
the throttle again.
First Robbery Off to Flying Start
Montana's first train robbery was
off to a good start.
over the locomotive. Others surround
ed the train and started a barrage from
under and between the cars. The firing
was almost constant during the hour
and twenty minutes which followed
the conquest Of the engine crew.
The enginemen were forced to help
the bandits break in the door of the
lantern while his fireman welded an
ak. When the hole was sufficiently
large. Sargent and the fireman were
ordered to crawl through, with the ban
dts following. The bandits demanded
the express messengers keys for the
safes.
A small safe, used by the messenger,
yielded about $50. The big through safe
contained some $4,000, but it could be
opened only by agents at the terminals.
1t was too large to be removed and
carried away in safety. The big haul
had to be abandoned. and the bandits
were loud and profane in expressing
their disappointment, not to say de-
feat.
Passengers from the train later ex-
pressed the belief that the bandits in
tended to take only the express car
money. but after failing to get the big
haul, they decided to take the Chicken
feed from the passengers as solace
for their disappointment.
During the time the express car was
being worked, most of the passengers
sought refuge from flying bullets by
crawling under the seats in the coaches.

ables.
When the bandit leader appeared
at the door of the combination smoker
and coach and demanded admittance,
someone crawled out and opened the
door. The bandit entered with a con-
federate keeping the crowd covered
with a gun. All passengers were warned
against concealing money or valuables,
under penalty of sudden death.
Small Change in First Car

one passenger gave up his small
change, Asked if he had more, he ad-
mitted having a watch and a railroad
ticket: I'VE don't want watches and

An emigrant gave up all he had
only a few dollars-with the statement:

1t was variously estimated that the
bandit gang contained from 10 to Is
members. An ever dozen was the best
estimate available. The leader was de-
scribed as a man of medium height
and build, his slightly bowed legs in
dicating a long acquaintance with the

The gang went south toward Wyo-
ming, with Yellowstone and Custer
county posses on their trail within a
few hours. Sheridan and johnson coun-
ty posses from Wyoming also joined
the chase, and for several days it was
believed the gang would be caught,
since the possemen were familiar with
the country. But the Hole in the Wall"
region in Wyoming was a favorite and
almost impregnable hideout. So far as
is known the bandits remained free
men. The Northern Pacific and the
governor of Montana posted rewards
aggregating $500. The rewards were
never claimed.

IN the center of the damsite.
Across and beneath the present out
let OF the lake, a tunnel, 6 by a. feet
VIDE n lis feet long, was drilled.
The tunnel taps the lake about six feet
below the normal August level and
forms a permanent outlet for the
reservoir.
A vertical shaft from the top of the
dam into the tunnel provides for the
gate chamber and operation of the
gate. A cutoff trench was excavated
ID inches into solid rock.
The unit, costing $82, 731, was built
as an auxiliary to the $45O,O 900 Cooney
dam on Red Lodge creek. It is termed
the largest earth and rock dam so far
contracted by the Montana water con-

Capturing wild horses with motor

a handicap few saddle horses are able

have to ride a tired horse home, they
push their saddle horses to the limit.
The wild horses, trim and fit from
occasional chases and from runs of four
to five miles to water, take the chase
as play at first. The leader will run
up a steep bank and stop while the
rest string along. He arches his neck.
and, with his tail streaming in the
wind, snorts derision at the oncoming
rider. Then in a cloud of dust he takes
after his bunch.
The roper and truck driver from
some high pinnacle have been keep
ing track of the chase through field
glasses, often with only a distant dust
cloud to indicate the course of the
wild horses. Sometimes the running

white shirted rider is seen. Riders wear
white shirts to aid the watchers in
keeping track of them.
