Two strangers, W. W. Kray and Jack Welsh, were halted outside the Past National Bank by a watchman and later arrested on vagrancy charges after eight sticks of dynamite were found on one man. They claimed to be prospectors from Helena, Mont., seeking $5 from D. H. Moffat, bank president, and arrived at the bank today.

Compass Plant Guides Lost Wanderers on the Plains
A Boulder Colorado speaker recalls the compass plant in the Western plains as a magnetic leaf guide. In 1860 a wagon train lost at night used the plant to steer toward camp, reaching it after about two hours amid dismounts to feel the leaves. Cited from the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
