Rossoll was Figuring on buying this
place also.
People up around Choteau are busy
trying to solve the problem as to how
this man came it over them as he did,
There is a belief gradually gaining
ground that Rossoll must be some kind
Of !; meslnerist. There is no telling how
much the fellow got in the various places
where he played his little game. He
must be an expert photographer if he
made all the signatures to the checks
which were found in his possession.
But his Chilean -Italian-French auto
graph deserves a place among the
famous Chinese puzzles. Sheriff Dunn
found a piece Of paper upon which Ros-
soil had evidently been diligently prac-
ticing this piece Of hicroglyphics, and in
his case practice made perfect, as he
made the scrawl look the same every
time he wrote it.

spector came to see about the matter,
this cool fellow actually talked the official
off the track. On the way down here,
the prisoner gave Sheriff Dunn a great
spiel about his innocence, but the lat
ter joshed him SO continually that Ros
soil occasionally dropped the roll Of in
jured innocence and responded to the
Jokes made at his expense He also put
out his hands to receive the bracelets on
his wrists as it those ornaments Wcrenot
unknown quantities to him.
After being up before Justice Haw7
thorne, Rossoll said he would be ready
for his preliminary examination on Sat
urday, and he was then remnnded to jail
in default of bail to the amount Of 81 600
Probably if he could have sold one Of his
numerous sheep ranches, the bail would
have been Forthcoming.
In the county bastile The Picket rep

THE RED LODGE PICKET

OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF CARBON COUNTY
AND CITY OF RED LODGE.
Red Lodge picket. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1889-1907, 1900-08-03

Sheriff John Dunn brought the man
here from Choteau Monday and he was
almost Immediately arraigned before
Justice Hawthorne on the above charge,
the specified act being the depositing Of
a worthless check at the Carbon County
bank to the amount of $50 and checking
out thereon the sum OF $50.
Though Rossoll was successful in de-
stroying many OF the papers he had on
his person at the time he was arrested
yet there were enough documents left in
the dilapidated pocketbook he carried,
to interest the curious for long time
and of a character also to delight the
heart Of an antiquarian.
Prominent among the miscellany now in
the sheritf,s possession appeared a check
book Of the Carbon County bank with
attached memorandum of many checks
drawn. There was also the receipt given
to Rossoll and signed by B. E. Vail,
cashier, upon the former presenting his
draft from Thermopolis, Wyo.. to the
amount Of $4,000. This paper was
doubtless Of great assistance to Rossoll
in his manipnlations in other localities.
There were also two checks on the above
named bank which had never been
cashed. One was for s85, payable to
self, and the other for $50 payable to
Chas Foot These were both signed
George Almana." There was also one
for the sum Of SO, signed by Juan Al
mana, and payable to self.
In the pcrusal of these papers there
seems to be some light shed on the ques=
| tion as to how Rossoll made his opera
tions pay, this question having presented
! itself to the minds OF many. In Choteau
he hired J. q. Burke to keep his books
| for him and to write all his checks, on
the ground that he could not write Eng
lish. He bought a bill Of goods of the
Choteau Mercantile company to the
amount Of s7JlO, the statement for the
same being among his papers. There
was also a check for $3.50 made out over
his signature, per J. f. Burke, with
which he had intended to pay the bill.
That would have meant clear gain of
S175 in the change which he would re-
ceive. Among the papers was also a
check for $1,000 in favor of Geo. J.
Burke, signed .sFrank Russell per J. e.
Burke These two latter checks were
dated July "A and 20 respectively. Ros-
soil had his team hired to go from Cho-
teau to Great Falls on the DIST and ex-
pected to get these checks cashed then
but alas for his we'll laid plans, the
meshes of the law closed in around him
Rossolls operations were of the most
extensive kind. He had among his
effects a number of envelopes addressed
to him from the First National banks ol
Pendleton and Portland, Ore. He had
evidently written them about the price
of sheep in their localities, with proba
BILE intention of getting on good terms
with the banks. He had also written
the First National of Cheyenne, Wyo., as
to what its standing was and what they
paid on deposits. They sent him in re-

publican condition Of the country is well
set forth in the following: 1.-THE tariff

been written in public law. We have

worlds markets have been opened to
American products, which go now
where they have never gone before. We
have passed from a bond-issuing to a
bond-paying nation; from nation of
borrowers to nation of lenders; from a
deficiency in revenue to surplus; from
fear to confidence: from enforced idle
ness to profitable employment The
public faith has been upheld public or

prosperity at home and prestige

icy is thus announced: Cuba has been
liberated and our guarantees to her peo-
pie will be sacredly executed. A bene-
ficent government has been provided for
Porto Rico. The Philippines are ours
and American authority must be SUI
preme throughout the archipelago.
There will be amnesty broad and liber-
al. but no abandonment of our duty.
There must be no scuttle policy. We
will fulfill in the Philippines the obliga-
lions imposed by the triumphs of our
arms and by the treaty of peace; by

TRUE IOTE UITIfO UT M URDER.


1t is pleasant to read once in awhile
tale of true love that hasn't any muir
der in it. Such is the story of Miss
Hannah Meier, who came all the way
from Austria to Montana to marry
Christopher Schmidt, and then welded
his best man, Joseph Kunz. Schmidt
made $65 out of the transaction. Miss
Meiers change of mind came at the
altar. The wedding guests bad assem-
bled when she announced that she
didn't love Schmidt well enough to
marry him. but preferred Kunz. While
the guests waited the groom and best
man negotiated. Kunz finally agreed
to pay Schmidt S65, and the ceremony
proceeded with the positions Of the two
reversed.
Some carping critics may say that
this isn't a tale of true love, and that
Miss Meier wasn't true to Schmidt. But
they can't deny that she was true to
her love for Kunz, and they have no
reason to say that she hasn't stayed
true to 1t until now. And Schmidt was
also true to his love. Sixtyfive dollars
is sixty-fve dollars and there is no
blood on the carpet and no remorse in
the heart of any Of the participants in
this very sensible love affair.
