Two ARE FOUND GUILTY.
Men Who Beat the State in Wolf
ScalpS,

-..|.-g. gEEE ~bGtk- Ea 15NI E A54E MWG M8li
W. G. Wilson and William Nc
Cracker, two members Of the gang
who defrauded the state Of hundreds
of dollars last December by means Of
bogus wolf scalps, says a Miles City
dispatch, have been found guilty Of
the charges preferred against them in
the district court at: Glendive, and the
former was given years at hard
labor and McCracken was sentenced to
n year in Jail and to pay a fine Of
800.
Wilson, McCracken and w. B.
Settles, who was also known under the
alias of Word, came to Montana from
Sturgis, s. D., last July with a
wagon load of wolf pelts. The scalps
from those pelts were turned over to
the clerk Of Custer county and they
obtained the bounty for them. Settles,
who was the leader of the gang and q
man of considerable intelligence,
stayed about town for several weeks
and cut a wide swath among the
sporting element.
The gang then left for Glendive,
first stealing back from the county all
of the wolf scalps that had been
turned in for warrants. This was an
easy matter as they were stored in
IN out building. On their way to
Glendive the soalps were sewed back
on to the pelts and the job was SO
neatly done that none Of the officers
detected the fraud for some time.
The gang were camped in the neigh
borhood of Glendive and when war
rants for their arrest were issued they
obtained wind of il in some manner
and lit out for the bad lands, result
ing in the capture of all three at Belle.
Fourche. '@
Settles, however, made his escape.
after putting up a cash bond and is
still at large. While in the Dawson.
county Jail Wilson and McCracken.
became chummy with two Of the pris-
oners named James Owen and Jodey
Allen and told them the story of their
adventures.
Allen and Owen were put on the
stand at the trial and told the whole
story which resulted IN their convic-
ton. The specific charge against
Wilson was forgery, while McCracken
pleaded guilty Saturday to a charge OF.
defrauding the state. The authorities
expect to effect the capture Of the
leader Of the gang soon and claim to
know Of his whereabouts. The case
attracted considerable attention at the
time of the commission of the crime
as it demonstrated that the present
wolf bounty laws are intellectual to,
| prevent frauds.

FROM PNEUMONIA.
Bertram's Death Did Not Result from
Being Kicked.

The death of A. G. Bertram, the
plumber, who died at Maus' plumbing
shop last Friday night under circum-
stances regarded by his friends as
peculiar, was investigated by Coroner
Brown and a jury last night, says
Tuesdays Butte Inter Mountain.
Bertram's friends had conceived the
idea that he had been kicked in a fight
while on a spree, and that his death
was the result of injuries so sustained.
The investigation did not bear out
the theory of Beytram's friends. DR..
j. P. Sheeran, the county physician,
held an autopsy on the body of Bert
ram, but failed to find any evidence
Of his having suffered violence. He
gave it az his opinion, at the inquest,
that death resulted from congestion of
the lungs or pneumonia. The truth
appears to be that Bertram went on a
spree, drank heavily, ate nothing and
exposed himself till he contracted
pneumonia and died.
The jury's verdict was in accord
ance with DR.. Sheeran's testimony.
