Walter Cox who Passed Forged Checks
Captured Near Red Lodge and
Brought Back.

turning Last Night.
Bob Wallace Has an Interesting Let.
ter From Ward Bill Who is at
the Philippines.
Cox Here for Trial.

States Attorney Allen and A. r. Nc
Gahey returned,.Tuesday night from Red
Lodge, Mont, with Walter Cox, the
workman on the Mckenzie building who
forged the name Of J. w. Butler, the con
tractor, to Il number of checks, sue
ceeded in passing them and then left the
city. Trace of Cox was first secured by
MI. Allen at Mandan and it was found
that som M answering his description
had taken the train for Billings. This
report was aftcrward confirmed by En-
press Messenger Irish, who remembered
his leaving the train at Billings. The
states attorney and McGahcy then went
to Billings and there found some one
registered at the hotel as j. II. Cole and
whom they suspected as tho man they
We're after. Inquiry developed the fact
that he had gone to Red Lodge, taking
his wife and baby, who had accompanied
him from here, and that the family was
en- route for Il ranch owned by CoX's
fathcrin-law. The officials followed
him there but were mislcd by an errone-
Gus description of the man, not recognize
ing him as the man they wanted. After
ward they suspected the nan because of
some suspicious actions and Sheriff
Dunn, thinking Cox might have gone to
a %neighboring timber camp, went there
while McGahey started for the ranch
where Cox's fathcr-in law lived. There
he found Cox had left on horse back and
had about ten miles the start Of him, but
he engaged a saddle horse and caught
the man after a sixty-mile chase. Cox
agreed to come back without requisition
papers and was brought back last night
and is now in jail. The officials of this
county were assisted in the search by
the Montana officials and feel deeply
grateful to them for the assistance rem
dered.
Cox is a young man about 25 years of
age and from the story told by him, his
crime was in a measure due to adversely.
He was engaged as a workman on the
buildings here and it took all of his earn
ings to support himself and his wife.
While here IA little child was born to
them and the added expense incident
thereto left him in debt. Work on the
building was about over and as he could
secure no other work, he passed forged
checks in order to pay his expenses and
take his family to Billings where he left
his wife and child at his father-in-law's.

Let Up On Hobson.
EDITOR tribune:

EDITOR TRIBUNE:
My private opinion publicly expressed
is that the press generally are too
severe in their criticisms of the gallant
naval officer, Hobson-and the girls who
kissed him.
In all the press reports of the kisses
given to Hobson, or captured by him
from the first at st. Louis to the last on
the borders of the Sun Flower State of
kansas-no intimation or insinuation
has been given out that either he or the
young ladies were impelledb by aught else
Ethan the very noblcst of motives. Pure.
gentle, afectionate love, admire
and revere good, brave and gallant men:
and this class Of men adore and love the
class Of women mentioned. Why then
Hobson their hcro-was. it so very i'm
proper for enthusiastic young ladies.
swaycd by high appreciation of the dar-
ing, patriotic service rendered his
Countrywide love and affection shown
by him to his dear mother and father
his manly acts and words in all his ad-
dresses, to give him in the most impress
sive manner the evidence of their feel
ings.
Don't make light of the kiss. Remem-
Der that of mothcr-that of the approx
ing and encouraging teachcr-of the
welcome home of wife and daughter
and of the embrace and kiss of greeting
from the sweet heart.
More men have been moved to noble
efforts by admiring, affectionate, enthus-
iastic women than by brass bands and
cheers and hand shakes of men.
The sailor, long at sea, longs for and
merits the homing kiss. The soldier re-
turning from the war-dcserves and ex-
~pccts-this most natural and tender vel
come. Ridiculc and debase this method
Of women's testimonial to true and brave
manhood, you strike the very soul of
high inspiration to men.
Only a few days ago 1 convcrsed with
a lady who "was proud to say she was
kissed by Gen1 W. T. Sherman" What
woman would not be proud to say she had
kissed Abraham Lincoln? Washington
was kissed by and kissed many of the
bellies of the revolution. Jackson, with
all the talk of his fire-like temper, was
kissed and returned them-Clay, after
successfully defending a German client
charged with murder-was kissed b,
the wife, whose heart was made glad by
the acquittal of her husband.
Go a little slow boys and let up or
Hobson. His motives were pure and the
girls who kissed him are of the best ir
the land-God bless them.
FARMER WALLACE.
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1898-12-30
An Improbable Venture.

Deputy State Examiner r. E. Wallace
has a letter from w. w. Bill, an old timer
on the Missouri slope and in the western
part of North Dakota where he was in
the mercantile business a number of
years ago. The letter is interesting for
the reason that it gives some inside facts
regarding the shipment of refrigerated
meat and vegetables from Australia to
Manila for the use of the American
forces there. Mention has been made
by the North Dakota boys writing home
of the presence of the refrigerator ship
in the harbor, and several of the boys
have made a tour of inspection of the
ship. In his letter to Wallace, Bill says
of this venture: 'John P. Bray, U. s.
Consul at Melbourne, was requested by
the wal department to make a contract
for delivery at Manila of a cargo of
frozen beef; also to take on 500 tons of
vegetables and as there wars space to
spare l thought it a great scheme to take
on a general cargo on speculation. This
the contractors agreed to do and l was
given an interest in the deal. This is
very much to my regret now, for the
whole deal will result in a heavy loss.
We have had to throw overheard 800
tons of vegetables and there is practical
ly no market for the many supplies we
brought; in fact many goods can be
bought here for much less than in the
states. However, we shall get rid of the
goods in some way and pocket the loss"
In speaking of the Philippines, the
writer gives an opinion which is valuable,
for he is travelled and a competent judge
of possibilities for trade and speculation:
s'The islands possess wonderful possibil-
tiles and have enormous resources.
When properly developed they will make
one of the richest spots on EARTH The
possibilities for making money here will
be vast should the United States retain
them and if T were q younger man
nothing would drive me out"

in certificates for wolf bounties, and of
these only enough tax has been paid in
to pay off about $1,000 so that the obi
cations have exceeded the payments in
one year by about $4,000. If the
bounty should be taken off at this time
and the tax continued at the present
rate it would take ten years for the state
to pay off the obligations already con
tracted. The certificates for bounties
continue to come in for registration in
large amounts.

The Wolf Bounty Matter.

One of the matters that will come to
the attention Of the legislature at the
coming session will be the wolf bounty
law. Two years ago the legislature
passed a law levying a tax of one-tenth
mill on property value in the state and
authorizing the payment of a bounty Of
% each on wolves. The tax levied was
wholly insufficient as the maximum
amount that could be raised upon the
present valuation would be $4,000 a
year. Up to the present time there have
been registered for payment some s78. 900

UNPOPULAR MR.. SMAllEY,

Anti-American Speeches Good For Lon
don, but Not For New York.
George W. Smalley has broken out
again. At the recent banquet of the
Brooklyn New England society he once
more gave vent to his anti American
and pro- English sentiments, causing no
end of criticism. Smalley is old enough
to know better, for he is nearly IS.
Once upon time Smalley was not only
an American. but New Enslander 1t
was SO long ago that Smalley seems to
have forgotten it.
When Mr.. Smalley left his editorial
chair in the New York Tribune office in
1866 to collect European war news, he
was a loyal American. He had made
success as war correspondent during
the civil war and was regarded by Hor.
ace Greeley as the leading American
journalist. He came back only to return
to London year later for the purpose
OF establishing permanent bureau there
for the collection Of foreign news. For

more than 25 years he remained in
London, writing letters to The Tribune
and clipping the London papers. Little
by little his correspondence became
tinged with toryism, and finally, when
he returned to New York two years ago
as American correspondent of the Lon
don Times, it was seen that he had be.
come thoroughly Anglicized.
Had Mr.. Smalley confined his efforts
TO writing digest Of American news
from an English standpoint and for Eng.
lish readers no one would have com.
planned for he is undoubtedly we'll paid
for his work. But in England Mr.. Small.
ey contracted the habit of making after
dinner speeches in which he belittled
everything American and praised every.
thing British. These tactics took well
in London and won him great reputa.
tion as postprandial orator. Evidently
he has been unable to break himself Of
this habit, for he has made the same
kind of speeches in New York, and the
result is that Mr.. Smalley has been Sc
verely criticised.
