Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Havre, Mont, Aug. "A number OF
the gambling fraternity recently stole
into town early this morning, probably
thinking that the Havre officials will
be lax in enforcing the law against
gambling.
The Crees around Havre deny the
statement that they have been en-
gagged in ''rustling" cattle or that they
have been killing game in the closed
season. Members of the stock associa-
tion who were at the recent meeting at
Fort Benton, deny that any complaints
We're made against these Indians, hut
say that complaints were made against
the agency Indians.
A party Of immigrants with six wag-
ons and their stock bound for the Flat
head valley passed through town to-
day. During their short stay they were
treated with free street fight be-
tween two colored eyprlans who are
now occupying cells In jail.
Two men were arrested to-day for
robbing a sheep herder three miles
from town and a dishwasher carved up
a porter to-day and made a good fight
when arrested, but was finally got into
the cooler. so altogether the town has
been quite lively to-day.

NEW YORK WILD MAN
MAKES BOW KNOTS OUT OF
STEEL CROW BARS.

Wonder and q Dense Mystery.

Hancock. N. Y. Aug. "A wild man
is loose in the woods here. A party Of
hunters have just returned from Port
Jervis. where they went for guns and
ammunition with which to slay him.
But the question has arisen whether
they have a right TO kill a wild man.
Some Of the hunters argue that It
would be murder. Others say that IL
wouldn't. but that wild men are pro-
tected by the game laws. His life will
probably be spared until legal advice
has been taken. unless some impetuous
woodsman slays him and then waits
for a ruling.
John Cook. a farmer. heard a terrible
rumpus in his piggery the other night
and, believing that the pigs had upset
beehive placed temporarily in their
sty. ne ran out. As he stepped into the
shed he was grabbed by the wild man.
The fellow looked seven feet high and
wore beard as long as a ives I'm free
silver mans. From his mouth protrud-
ed big teeth like fangs. Farmer Cook
is six feet three and very powerful. but
he was helpless in the grasp Of the
wild man who carried him to the door
and hurled him 80 feet The farmer
fell unconscious. When ne woke up he
found himself lame and bruised. His
best pig was gone. A crowbar lay on
the ground tied into knots. Farmer
Cook says the wild man did this 10
show his annoyance at being inter.
rupted.
The next night Peter Thomas was
driving near Dead Mans Lane when
he met the wild man. Thomas says hs
looked like an ape. He seized tho near
horse and. with a single sweep Of his
long. hairy arm. tore OF the harness
Then he wrung the horses neck and
dragged him to the woods. Thss story
is vouched for by Mr.. Thomas. VINO II
a church deacon.
A party of hunters followed the
tracks to lonely swamp. The foot
prints showed that the mans nails bad
developed into claws. He had uproot-
ed trees ever and anon out OF sheer
deviltry. The lair of the wild man was
found yesterday. but he was not a
home.

Since Idaho became a state and Dubois
a senator he has endeavOred in vain to

and in company with David Il. Hill,
has inaugurated more than one battle
