wand even then a great many were

with a gang of toughs from Butte, all
of whom were crazy after horse races.
They soon influenced Howard to ac-
company them to Denver. How they
got here nobody seems to know, but
Howard wound up at Overland His
mother learned Of his whereabouts and
wrote an appealing letter to the sher-

return home. She also wrote to the
boy and with pure motherly entreaties
got him disguised with his companion

it was the best thing he could do, and

Sheep Transactions.

Frank W. Boyd Turns Neat Trick in
sheep Transactions.
Special Dispatch to the Standard
Boise, Idaho, May A remarkable
swindling case has come to light here
by which a number of people suffer
among them the cattle commission firm
of Chicago who are in fair
way to lose $4,000. The parties
interested are very reticent, but
the facts appear to be about as fol-
lows: Last fall Frank w. Boyd and
Frank w. Lifts, who had sheep near
Mountain Home, mortgaged their band
which was claimed to embrace $4,000
head, to Snyder Evans & Buell.. This
mortgage still stands. but the sheep
have disappeared. The sheepmen made
arrangements recently to sell $4,000
head of yearlings to the Platt Valley
Sheep company of Douglas, Wyo. That
company sent a draft for $4,000 in part
payment. 1t was drawn by the Chey-
enne National bank on the Chemical
National of New York. Boyd got the
money on the draft at the First Ma
tional here a few days ago. 1t seems
the firm had only 1000 head of sheep
at he time it agreed to make the sale
to the Wyoming company, of which
1000 were yearling. These 1000 head
were sold and delivered to Swift & Co.
of Chicago while the Wyoming deal
was pending.
J. NJ. Wilson, representing the Wyo-
ming company, and John Fleming, rep
resenting SpSders Evans & Buell., are
here trying to find out what they have
for their money. Boyd has disappeared
and Lifts claims to know nothing about
the swindle, maintaining Boyd robbed
him also. ]. w. Boyd of Red Bluff,
Cal. is another victim. He is brother
of Frank w. Boyd and claims to have
held an interest in the sheep. He is at

if there is ANYTHING left

Reported Refusal of Germans to Join in
Proclamation Is Mysterious.

Proclamation Is Mysterious.
Washington, May Am official state-
ment is made at the German embassy that
strict instructions were given to the Ger
man consul at Apia, Samoa, to join with
his colleagues, American and British, in
a proclamation for the suspension of hos
tilties until the arrival of the Samoan
commission. Under these circumstances.
the officials are at loss to account for
the press report, coming via Auckland
that the Germans refuse to join in the
proclamation and are inclined to attrib-
ute it to anti-German influences. The
proclamation was to be addressed to the
natives, and, as the Americans, British
and German representatives were to is
sue the proclamation, all parties in inter-
est, natives and foreign. would be reached
by the proclamation. The recent reports
from Auckland that the natives are men
acing the outskirts of Apia are not I'M
derstood, as the instructions given to the
German consul are such that it is
a point of honor with him to see that the
natives refrain from aggressive move
ments pending the arrival of the COM
mission.
At the British embassy no advices have
been received concerning the reported re-
fusal of the Germans to join in the proc
lamaton. Mr. Loves, the British charge,
saw Secretary Hay to-day and this was
UNDERSTOOD to have been among the mat
tiers discussed. The interest which Lon
don is beginning to take in the Samoan
question is indicated by the arrival here
of John George Leigh of the London
Times, who stopped here to meet officials
before proceeding to Samoa. 1t is said
he will be the first representative of a
British paper there.

after trouble has been allowed to ripen.
For long time affairs there have been
in such condition that an outbreak
was due at any time. Careful study of
these conditions and a considerable at
tempt to correct admitted evils would,
in my judgment, have prevented the
present outbreak. The late Governor
Ferry of this state prevented. l think,
what might have been serious out
lawry by personal investigation and
adjusting troubles of a slight nature.
This course of procedure, in my judg-
ment. is sufficient to prevent serious
trouble in SO cases out of 100. I shall

The attack, while unexpected failed to

fire. The artillery soon joined in the
defense and the furious cannonade shot
terror and death in the insurgent lines
for half an hour AT dusk the bugle call

the American line advanced, scatter

tions the Country Is Going to Disaster.
Washington, May 4.-Legrande Pow
er, for eight years labor commissioner
of Minnesota, was before the Industrial
commission to-day. He spoke especially
of farming conditions in the north
western states. saying that the present
tendency among farm hands was to-
ward the ownership of the lands and
that a greater percentage of farmers
now owned their own lands than. so
years ago He expressed the opinion
that the farmer who is in debt to-day
has 10 times the opportunity to dis
charge his obligation than had the
farmer at the beginning of the century
MIR. Power thought the tendency was
toward small farms, and added that
the wheat and cotton and other prod
ucts grown by the small farmer con-
trolled market prices. Mr.. Power also
said that many of the agricultural col
leges of the country were conducted
upon lines calculated to attract hays
educated by them away from the farms.
Speculation in grain, he said, did not
affect the prices, except temporarily,
nor affect the farmers except so far as
they engaged in speculation.
You don't mean to say?" suggested
Governor Harris, that the farmers
sDeculate?"
They do" replied the witness. VERY
largely they are the lambs which are
shorn on the stock exchange. Stop the
farmers from gambling and you will
stop it all. Three-fourths of the money
thus lost is lost by farmers"
He thought that corporations and
trusts should be strictly controlled ard
regulated by law, adding that in las
view, the country was drifting with
mad frenzy" towards disaster. All
corporations should be strictly con-
trolled by the state in which they oper-
ate. He thought, however, it might
take 25 years of legislation, litigation
and experiment fully to work out the
problem
