Anaconda, April 4.-George H. Con-
ners, a man 40 years old, committed
suicide here today in highly sensa-
tional manner. He went into the
gun store Of R. NJ. Grelg, rented
gun and went out the back door and
up the alley to Park avenue. Arriving
there he placed the muzzle OF the gun
under his ear and pulled the trigger.
The entire side of his head was al
most completely blown off, but des-
pite this he lived for nearly an hour.
Corners was one OF the striking ma
chinists and had had no work for two
months. Lack of money and i'll luck
made him despondent, and he killed
himself. Corners leaves widow
and three children.

An Alleged international Rustler Captured,
Taken to Great Falls By the Sheriff.
STOLE HORSES, IN CANADA
Has Been Hunted BY All the Montana Sherffs For Four
Months---Arrested On Suspicion BY Police Officer
Hannah in Kalispe1-F1is Identity Established.

he reached the cabin, which is in one
OF the most remote parts of that
wild region. He found that the trail
was old; Smith had left the cabin
Joslin returned to this city and the
trail was lost. There was no clew TO
the whereabouts of Smith. But all
officers in Northern Montana were Civ
en- description Of him and requested
to arrest him at sight, and finally he
ran up against Officer Hannah Of
kalispell, who at once recognized
him and placed him under arrest.
The arrest is considered a most i'm
portant one, it being believed by the
officers that Smith will divulge the
names of his associates and thus en-
able the authorities to break up gang
that has stolen hundreds Of horses
from Canada and sold them in this
state. Enough has been learned con-
cerning the operations of the gang
to show that they have we'll defined
underground railroad" from Alberta
to Wyoming. They have driven many
bands of horses from Canada through
the Blackfeet reservation, Shelby,
Grea. Falls, Belt, Neihart, and White
Sulphur Springs, on down to the wy
oming line and beyond. Many horses
that were shipped from Madison
county to Iowa last year are believed
to have been stolen from Canada.
In driving the horses through this
section, we'll known riders have been
employed, and as many Canadian
brands are duplicates of Montana
brands, little suspicion was aroused
1t is believed that number of men
who have enjoyed good regulations
may be involved if Smith will tell
who employed him, and more arrests
may be made in the next few days.
At one time it was thought that the
gang operating from Canada to Wy
oming was in league with the Stev-
enson gang, which shipped hundreds
of stolen horses from Teton county
to eastern markets, but since the con-
viction of Stevenson and the confess
sion of Jacobson, his accomplice, it
has become apparent that the two
gangs were independent.

Special Dispatch to the Bee:
Great Falls, April 4.-"Bishop"
Frank Smith was brought here from
Kalispell tonight, charged with horse
stealing. He is accused of driving
horses from Carbon across the line
to Great Falls and selling them.
About the 18th of February, 125 or
more head of horses, belonging to A.
Linquist, a rancher of the vicinity Of
Lethbridge, Alberta, were stolen from
their usual range and, with a number
of horses belonging to other Canad-
an ranchers, were smuggled across the
line. On this side of the line, they
were first stopped at Shelby and in
that vicinity part of the band were
sold. The remaining were brought
to Great Falls, Smith having them in
charge, and nearly all of them were
sold here. Smith employed a we'll
known resident of the city to sell them
on commission, and several reputa-
BILE citizens made purchases of stolen
animals.
A few days later, the owners of the
horses arrived here, while the trail
was still fresh, and enlisted the COOP
Grafton of the customs officers and
the sheriff's Office. The owners, in
stead Of keeping quiet, as advised by
the officers, told several persons Of
their mission here, and when the off,
GERS had traced the horses to Smith,
he had flown. Warrants were issued
for the arrest of Smith and several
others and it was thought that they
would be apprehended when Percy De
Woolfe was arrested, on the Blackfeet
reservation, for cattle stealing, but
they learned, in some way, of the is
ance of the warrants and hit the trail
for the mountains.
A few weeks ago information
reached the city that Smith, the most
wanted of the accused men, was in a
cabin far up in the mountains near
the line between the Blackfeet res
ervation and the ceded strip of that
reservation. Deputy Sheriff Joslin at
once left for that placee, and after a
thrilling experience, he and his guides
being lost in blizzard and Mr.. JOS
Inns legs being severly frost bitten.

eATTLEsHlP IOWA ON THE SOUND

United States battleship Iowa, un-
der command of Captain Perry. passed
in front of Seattle harbor at las
O'Clock today on her way to the naval
station at Bremerton. From the docks
along the water front nothing but her
huge white steel hull, made more
prominent by the dark hills beyond the
shores of the Sound, could be seen
and the water dashing high up on her
bow indicated that she was going at
a very rapid speed. AS she passed the
point off Magnolia bluff, to the north
of the city, she was closely followed
by one of the sound steamers, but
ere five minutes were elapsed the
Iowa had left her far behind.
The Iowa left Port Angeles at 10
this morning and by this time is in
the drydOck. She is to go on the
large government dock at Bremerton
to undergo extensive repairs, which
will probably take at least seven
weeks to complete. The Iowa is one
of the most famous battleships in the
American navy today, and has been
ever since she took her place in the
squadron under command of Admiral
Schley, and helped to pound the life
out of Admiral Cervera's Spanish fleet
at Santiago harbor during the memor.
able campaign of 1899. Fighting Bob
Evans" was her captain on that thrill
ing day, and it was his gallant brav-
cry and mastery captainship during
the progress of that fight that made
the Iowa the famous vessel that she
now is. Soon after the close of the
Spanish war.
Captain Evans was relieved of the
command of the Iowa, and Captain
Cooper was given the command in
his stead. Captain Cooper served
the battleship for two years and Cap
tain Perry was assigned to the posi-
tion for like period. This is the third
time the Iowa has been on the Sound.
