Receipt of news at Kansas City of the arrest in Great Falls of Pennie Chester, alleged slayer of Miss Flor ence Barton, was followed by a stir among Chester's friends that resulted Thursday in a warning being telegraphed to Harry E. Boyle, superintendent of the Midwest Secret Service who came here for the prisoner, that an attempt will be made by Kansas City gangsters to rescue Chester from the officers be fore he is landed in the jail at that place. Superintendent Boyle was not fur nished with details concerning plans supposed to be under way with Chester's intimates, but he was instructed by his Kansas City office to be on his guard and to take no chances with the prisoner while enroute home; Before Superin tendent Boyle left Denver for Great Falls, Chester had said that he would not return without extradition papers, and John Farrell. another representa tive of the Midwest people, was started from Kansas City at the same time, prepared to take the prisoner out of Montana by legal process. Farrell is expected to reach Great Falls today (Friday) and will return with Superin tendent Boyle and the prisoner. Rumors of Escape Plan Is Heard "My office telegraphed today that there ig a 'rumble' there of an attempt to remove Chester from our custody be fore we can place him in the Kansas City jail," said Superintendent Boyle. "The office puts some credit in the re port or it would not have wired me." The prisoner intimated to Superin tendent Boyle Thursday that he knows he is suspected of the Barton murder, but he made no direct reference to the crime. Chester was at liberty under | bonds when Miss Barton was killed and j he knows he is wanted for jumping bail, j but he admitted to Mr. Boyle that there j is a "bad rap" against him in Kansas ; City. By this he meant, according to the superintendent, that lie knows he is charged with an offense much more serious than any involved in the first arrest. Woman's Identity Guarded. Chief of Police Marcus Asderson con- i t iuued Thursday to guard the identity of j the Great Falls woman whose presence i here led to Chester's arrest. This j woman wrote to Chester a short time j before the Harton murder, aud the ! missive was left behind when Chester | quit his home town. The police found the letter in Chester's room and through information thus obtained it became known that Chester intended to come to Great Falls. Chief of Police Marcus Anderson picked up the first trace of Chester at Kingmau. Ariz,, where he was addressed by the Great Falls woman. She sent two letters to him at that place, but neither was ever delivered and are still awaitiug him in the Kingman postoffice. It has b'»eu established that Chestef wrote to the woman at least twice after he left Kansas City. ! | ; I j i j Thirty Year Resident Dies in Great Falls .T. P.

Therefore it is safo to say the city will go over the top and continue its reputation for giving generously.

Buttons Sold in Hotels. A hurried canvass of the audience in the Grand theater assembled for the Armistice day exercises brought in $138.50. During a few hours in the morning $130 was raised in the lobby of Hotel Rainbow by the girls from H. A. Templeton's Sunday school class in the Congregational church under the direc tion 'of Miss Gertrude Skinner. The group working under Miss Skinner on election day in the Y. M. C. A. building brought in the largest amount for that day. $180. Hotel Rainbow was the scene of the most activity, and the girls found it easy selling their little buttons to the travel ing men and the towns people who drop ped into the lobby. Two men there were, however, who steadfastly refused to buy, although each of the girls ap proached them in their sweetest man ner and offered the little badge. One of these, an ?lderly person in a coon skin cap. enjoyed talking with the girls immensely but sturdily insisted that he would not be able to purchase one of the buttons until 8 o'clock in the even ing. The other man the girls described as "a;n old crib" and "an old grouch," although he really wasn't old. He just wouldn't contribute, that was all. On the whole, however, every one was good natured and glad to buy. There will be no one soliciting in the hotels today (Friday.) House to House Canvass Today.
