HELENA. Mont.. May . (Special Tele
gram.) The aesslon of the First I'rrsby
terlun church of this city ha Issued an
unanimous call to Rev. Newman Hall Bur
dlc-k. D. D., pastor of the Second Presby
terlan church of Omaha, to become lis
Bastor.
Dr. Burdick preached at the Helena
Church on the laat two Sundays and he
made a decided Impression on the church
people, as well as among business men of
the city with whom he came in-contact.
It Is understood that the proposition the
church made to him was most flattering
even from a material standpoint and was
made after an unanimous vote cast by the
ajariKrt'gatlon which heard Dr. Burdick
sreach and met him personally.
This is one of the largest and most in
fluential churches in the state of Montana
nd Its building is new and handsomely ap
pointed. A fund of is in hand for the
installation of a new pipe organ to com
plete the equipment.
Dr. Burdick, who has returned from Hel
ena and will preach at the Second church
In Omaha Sunday morning and evening,
aid ha did not care to make a public state
ment about his visit to Helena at this time.
He is one of the most popular ministers
In Omaha and among the most gifted. If
tie goes to Helena he will leave a great
army of friends In Omaha in and out of
the church. He is a young man in the
Vigor of his strength.
The First church of Helena Is the one
from which Rev. T. V. Moore, former pas
tor of the Omaha Westminster church,
came to this city. He is now at San An-
rlmo seminary, California.
The black flap of piracy has been hauled
down. Tho nkull Hnd cross-bones no longer
threaten those craft which sail the tem
pestuous waters of Lake Cut-Off; they no
longer teriorize the Inhabitants of Olbson,
Bungalo City, Courtlandbeach, Rodandgun
club and other thriving cities which are
situate upon the shores of the lake.
Carl Myer and John McCrea, bold buc
caneers, are safely lodged in the city bastlle
while the craft which they are accused of
stealing and in which they fearlessly sailed
the waters of Cut-Off all tho way from
Larsons to Kastomaha and back to Isoe
trentle, this cralt is again restored to its
rlgitfful owner.
It was three days agone when P. C.
Howe, Fourteenth and Locust streets com
mander of a fleet of merchantmen and
passenger boats which lay at anchor In
a snug harbor on the east coast of the
lake, reported to the police that the pirates
hand captured two of them togcthor with
their entire equipment, though fortunately
none of the crew were aboard at the time.
Search for "the captured vessels was in
vain. They had disappeared from the face
of the earth. Old salts who had spent
years uixm the waters of Cut-off lake
shook their heads and mumbled foreboding
prophesies saying that the ships would
be found only at one place and that place
Davy Jones' locker.
I nder Ominous Colors.
But one day a vessel was seen skimming
over the waters of the lake. As it came
nearer, the people1 on the shore saw with
alarm that it was painted black. It was
a buccaneer ship. And when It came nearel
they could see through the glasses the form
of Carl Myer on the poop deck, or some
such place, while at the wheel stood John
McCrea.
The vessel passed and those ashore trem
bled dally, fearing to hear that ihofe they
loved who were aboard upon the waters of
Cut-Off would fall into the hands of the
pirate crew. Commerce between Courtland
beach and LarBona, between the Iseetres-
tle and Bungalo City and between the
other bu?y ports was seriously interf r'd
with.
But the buccaneers were to be rapture!
Their wild career was to be brought to an
end. They sleied a boat from John Win
ship, hauled the prize away and traded it
to Fred Selser for a shotgun. This de
parture from the ethics of piracy to those
of honest trading proved their undoing.
Tney were captured in the proalc act of
exchanging the ship for the gun.
Captain McCrea wore a deputy sheriff s
star and carried a battery of two revolvers.
First Mate Myer was armed with two re
volvers.
The black boat was found on an Island,
where it was drawn up upon the and,
high and dry. All the crew had fled. If
there was any treasure it was buried with
such skill that the police cannot locate It.

Lodst Authorise Kipeodltnre of
ThlrtKlve Thousand Dollars
for Remodeling;.
Authorizing an expenditure of $30,000 for
remodeling, the Elks Friday evening de
cided to make their proposed new perma
nent home second to none in the weal.
Plans were submitted by Architects Fisher
and Jobst calling for the remodeling of
the entire building above the first floor
and they were adopted by the lodge, to
gether with the estimated cost as outlined
by the architects.
The firat floor will be left as it Is and be
rented. The second floor will be fitted up
for club purposes, with parlors, reading
and card rooms, pool and billiard halls and
a buffet. The plan for a cafe was rejected
as a losing proposition. The third floor
will be fitted up for lodge purposes, and a
large dance hall will be made on the lourth
floor. A new electric elevator will also be
put in.
An advisory legal committee composed
of Lysle 1. Abbott. A. C. Wakeley, A. H.

ing committee, the two committees to have
