HELD UP OH THE ROM TO THE NINE E A daring hold-up occurred Saturday afternoon within hailing distance of the Nine Mile house in which Ellis Pass more, George Wedekind, Ora Tilton and George Cochran, four young men of Butte, were relieved of their pocket money. The watches and other valuables which the men wore were not taken by the two highwaymen who so calmly conducted the ceremonies. The com mand given the young men to throw up their hands was quickly obeyed and no argument entered into regarding the propriety of the order. Ora Tilton and George Cochran each received a crack on the head, causing painful, but not serious wounds. Mr. Tilton was not badly hurt, yet he suffered considerably from pains in the head during the night. Passmore and Wedekind escaped injury, except In purse. The hold-up was the chief topic of discussion all day Sunday and last even ing at the Overland club, of which the young men are members. The young men left Butte in two single buggies Saturday afternoon and drove towardB the Nine Mile house.

Dixon have re turned from California, where they spent about five months in the interest of Mr. Dixon's health, which was not and too good prior to their departure from Montana. The short sojourn In the Golden Gate state, however, was very beneficial to the judge, but the judge is not well by any means. While in California Mr Dixon met a number of Montana men, some of whom have taken up their residence there. Among them were W. V. Lawlor, who has engaged in the real estate business; M. J. Connell, William M. Jack, Harry D'Acheul, D. M. Newbro, Judge DeWitt and Frank K. Wilson. With the ex ception of Messrs. DeWitt, Lawlor and Newbro, all of those named have either erected or are building residences in Los Angeles. Mr. Lawlor has just completed his building. Judge DeWitt is sojourning nt Santa Cruz and the last time Judge Dixon saw him, which was about April 1, his health seemed to be improving. Mr. Dixon says that California is en DR. RUCKER SHOWS HIS NERVE The Patent Medicine Man Sends a Come-on Message to His Strand ed Troupe. Dr. H. D. Rucker, the festive patent medicine fakir, who hot-footed it out of Butte recently in order to avoid the payment of about $300 in licenses duo the city for practicing his game at Sut ton's theater, has turned to the wires for consolation. They have been kept torrid within the last few days by frantic appeals of the alleged physician to the members of his theatrical troupe to rejoin him at Spokane and there add to his shekels from motives purely phil anthropic. The opinion expressed this morning by the musicians of the vendor of patent medicines is that the nerve of "Dr.'' Rucker is something colossal. The latest dispatch sent Manager Merrill, request ing the troupe to come to Spokane, was the subject of considerable comment, largely unfavorable. With the "bunkoees" are two men from St. Paul. They have been left stranded in Butte, about 1,300 miles away from home, and they are very dubious over the proposition of going farther and trusting themselves to the mercy of a person who has so far proved a negative quantity when funds were necessary. Every mile means greater difficulty in getting to St. Paul in case the "doctor" should do any more star departure stunts by night.

Mgr. •www«ww\# pîàce, when two rough men jumped from the side of the road to the horses' heads and ordered the drivers to stop and "throw up their hands." With the command each of the high waymen struck the nearest person to him a blow on the head with short, thick clubs. The horses stopped and the little act of four young men turning the shining gold and silver from their pockets was gone through with. After the money, amounting in all to about $133, had been safely secured the pleasure seekers were ordered to stand four abreast, in the middle of the road, in front of the horses. "If you bat an eye we will fill you so full of lead it won't float on salt water," said the apparent leader of the two road agents. In order to thoroughly convince Mr. Tilton that he meant busi ness the burly fellow shoved a shining gun towards that already much abused young man's stomach. The hold-ups moved down the road several hundred yards when they cut off a< ross the hills in a southerly direction. The young men. who had watched the retreating desperadoes until they ap peared as a small speck In the far off distance, jumped into their buggies and drove back to Butte. joying a season of prosperity which he attributes to two things; the Philippine war and plenty of rain. To these might be added a heavy tourist travel through all the principal places of Interest in the state. "The Philippine war," says Mr. Dixon, "has been of great commercial value to San Francisco, for nearly all of the busi ness transacted with the islands from this side of the water passes through •the Golden Gate city." In speaking of oil wells Mr. Dixon says there are thousands of them in and around Los Angeles, the average being j about one to every vacant lot. "it does not cost so much money to bore for oil as it does to develop a vein of ore," j said the judge with a smile, "and I sup pose that is the reason there are so many wells. As to the California com panies that have been selling stock in Butte and other parts of- Montana, I know nothing. I do know, however, that there are quite a number of com panies operating there." Judge and Mrs. Dixon have taken quarters at the Thornton. A MUSICAL TREA T* TONIGHT Miss Ida Scott, the Popular Young Vocalist, at Mountain View Church.
