ton that closed tonight was by far
the best. The meeting of this week
was marked by racing that wouA be
credit to any track in the West and
the people from far and near who at
tended are highly pleased with the
sport afforded. The management are
entitled to the highest praise for the
smoothness and expedition with which
they brought off the various events.
That there was considerable interest
taken is shown by the fact
that in the three days some
thing more than $4,000 passed through
the pool boxes, which is considered
good showing for a town of this size.
Frank Bliss and Adolph Brown, who
had charge of the pools. were kept
on the jump most of the time, and
whenever there was a lull Browns
persuasive invitation to Come on
boys, start her up" always brought
due returns.
C. E. Miller of Helena. Dr. Foster II
Bozeman and H. o. Hickox of Melville
acted as judges, with c. M TAFT OF
Bozeman as starter.

Lieutenant Colonel Henry. the wit
ness asserted. tried to induce him to at
tribute to GicGuart the communication
of the bordereau to the Matin. in which
Journal, 1t will be remembered the Dor
dereau was first published
The commissary. Temps. came to the
most important portion of his testimo-
ny, which led to a restricting of his
revelations. The witness was asked if
he had ever investigated the Paulmire
affair, which was as follows:
Paulmire was the valet of Colonel
Schwartzkoppen. the German military
attache at Paris, and it was alleged that
he saw on Schwartzkoppen's desk doc
uments signed by Dreyfus. The gene
raj staff had declared that an effort
would be made to get at the truth of
this statement, but Paulmire disappear
ed and therefore, although the general
staff could not prove the story, it could
not be disproved.
To the question regarding this case,
Commissary Temps replied that he had
not investigated the affair. whereupon
NJ. Labori suggested that NJ. Hennion
sub-chief of the political police, who is
now in Rennes experimenting the pre-
cautions for the safety of witnesses,
may have been entrusted with the in
quiry into this case.
Colonel Jousaust called to Hennion,
VINO was III the court GpDlu,
Come here and testify" M. Hennion
assembled the platform and took the
OATH
He declared that he did investigate
the case and actually found Paulmire,
who told him there was not a word of
truth in the whole story. He had never
seen any paper bearing the name of
Dreyfus.
M Labor at once called attention to
the fact that the general staff had sup
pressed M. Hennion's report in favor of
Dreyfus and only declared that the re-
ports had been received representing
Paulmire as untraceable.
Commandant Cuignet and Captain
Junck then arose and insisted that only
the report that Paulmire could not be
traced had been received a the office
of the general staff.
M. Hennion replied. reiterating that
he had forwarded a report to the gen
eral staff giving Paulmire's emphatic
denial of the whole story.
M. Labori asked Commandant Cuig
net and Captain Junck where the re-
port was. that they said had been re-
ceived by the general staff stating that
NJ. Paulmire could not be found. The
officers interrogated We're obliged to adj
NIT that they were unable to find the
report. This practically closed the mat
ter.
The court adjourned, after deciding to
sit with closed doors tomorrow to in
vestigate M. Cernuschis testimony.

BUTCHERS FIGHT
Against the Meat Trust Is Gaining
Ground.

Against the Meat Trust Is Gaining
Ground.
New York, Sept 4.-There has been no
abandonment by the retail butchers of
Manhattan of their intention to fight the
beef trust. Louis j. Wagner, president
of the Greater New York Butchers asso-
citation, says
1--WE are arranging for a national
movement on the part of the retail butch
ers to fight the trust This will be eff
fected through the National Retail
Butchers Mutual Protective association,
which has members in every city in the
United States, and which has therefore,
much influence and commands large capt.
ital. 1t Is splendidly organized and will
not be afraid at all to try issues with the
beef trust when the proper time comes.
We are now considering a question of
buying a large slaughter house plant in
Kansas City, one of the largest and most
successful establishments of the kind in
the West. How much will it cost to ac-
quire the property? In round figures
about $500 OO A committee from the
Greater New York Retail Butchers asso-
citation will leave here next week for Kan
sas City to examine the plant. The COM
mittee will be accompanied by one or two
experienced cattlemen and will seek an
option on the property running until about
Jan. l.
las to the financial part of our enter
prise, certain changes have been suggest
ed during the latter part of the week,
though they have not been acted upon by
the association. The present suggestion
is to raise $10,O00.0O0 capital. This is to be
divided into shares of 800 each. Only
butchers will! be allowed to become stock
holders and holdings will not be limited
to 20 shares, was at first suggested.
Large blocks of stock may be held by one
person. but before he would be allowed
to subscribe for any large amount his
application would be fully considered by
the finance committee. Butchers in large
cities have communicated with the asso-
citation on the matter of acquiring stock
One man in Philadelphia has expressed
himself as ready to take 5000, 600 worth of
stock If he can get that amount. In the
matter of supplying beef from the Kan
sas City establishment direct to other
cities in the West, Middle West, South
west and Northwest, the slaughter
house which it is intended to start in Jer-
sey City, Hoboken or somewhere else near
New York will supply cities in this part
of the country. AS to what progress we
are making in the matter of obtaining a
slaughter house plant near New York, |
prefer to say nothing at present

the secret service fund of the ministry
OF marine and / can recollect now that
$4,000, or it's equivalent in German
money. passed into the hands Of Herr
Florschuetz and Franz and some money
was paid them personally in the war
office in Berlin. This money went into
the hands of the workers through a
postoffice in the American quarter of
Paris. Every six months remittances
are made anonymously to the Baroness
de Delden through the Credit Lyonaise
in Paris. The bank is entirely innocent
of the purpose for which the money is
used and the record will corroborat tie
this statement. Baroness de Delden
was the sweetheart of Prince Pless,
but later transferred her affections to
Esterhazy. She is the yelled lady of
the Rennes court martial"
Quarrel with the Emperor.
Mr.. Bentheim was questioned as to
his reason for leaving Germany and his
reply was to the effect that quarrel
with the emperor over another matter
caused it. He was arrested and placed
in the fortress at Potsdam.
AT that time he continued, Il did
not have my passports on my person,
but sent word to Chapman Coleman,
then secretary of the embassy at Ber-
lin who came quickly to my assistance,
and it being proven that l was an
American citizen, / was released and
soon after left the country. Mr.. Cole
man will confirm what 1 have said.'
Mr.. Bentheim said he arrived in New
York from Berlin late in April 1898
There was plenty of war talk then and
he enlisted on Aug. of that year in the
202d New York regiment.
While at Camp Meade he went on
Il was transferred to the quartermas-
ter department and later made brigade
clerk. I was discharged at Washington
barracks Jan. 81 of this year and re-
ceived my money the day following.
was the only man of the 2O2d New York
discharged at Washington. At this
time the regiment was in Cuba. Briga-
der General Oates, in whose head
quarters ! was clerk, recommended my
muster out at my request and Adjutant
General Horton, who is now in the
commissary department of the war Of
flee in Washington, signed in Cuba the
papers which secured for me my hon
orable discharge. The papers were
finally signed by Col. F. l.. Guenther,
who was at that time at Fort Meyer
Mr.. Bentheim was told that the fact
that his story should appear at this
time with so much startling informal
ton would cause considerable doubt as
to it's authenticity, but to this he re-
Piled:
II will go with you before a notary
public and swear that everything have
told you is the truth: or l will swear in
similar way to any United States Of
ficer or member of the German en-
bassy. The story is absolutely true and
you are at liberty to communicate with
any of the persons | have mentioned in
an effort at corroboration.'

STUPID NONSENSE.
Acaulttal of Drcyfuss win Not End the
Strife.

London. Sept. 4,-Major Count Ester
hazy, writing to the Evening News to-
day, describes the expert handwriting
evidence in the court martial of Cap
tain Dreyfus at Rennes as IAN over
whelming mass of stupid nonsense"
He refers to the late Lieutenant Col

and himself as being "victimized by the
general staff to cover their own faults
Continuing he says: France is be-
ing devastated by a civil war all the
more abominable because it is not be-
ing fought with arms. The Dreyfus
verdict will not end the strife. The ac-
quittal of Dreyfus, for which the gov
eminent is working secretly, will result
in the complete Reorganization Of the
French military system and the tri-
umph of the socialists
