The Dickinson press., 1901-04-13

The trial of Walter Y. Barnett was
concluded last Saturday a little before
dark.
In order that the readers of the Press
may get a better idea of the case we will
state that Walter, Oscar and Bob Bar
nett were supposed to be in partnership
in the ranch business in Billings county
where they located about a year ago,
having previously been around Wibaux.
Last summer and fall they we're working
on the N. P. Ry. grade near Sentinel
Butte and Wibaux, having taken a SUBJ
contract, and they employed in this con-
nection a number of hands. Their ranch,
it is understood, was not completed.
As stated last week States Attorney
Gregory showed that four horses had
been stolen from a German living north
of Dickinson On the 18TH Of last July and
that Barnett shipped the same horses
from Sentinel Butte to Lake City. Iowa,
on the nth of January, and offered the
same for sale. 1t was also shown that
Barnett had three horses in the same
shipment belonging to John Ballard, to-
gether with other stolen horses.
The state showed by expert testimony
Prof. Crawford and Cashier Hughes
that the bill of sale which defendant Of
fered was written, signed and Witnessed
by the same hand.
The claim of the defense was weak in
many respects. Barnett claimed that
the four horses with which he was
charged of stealing were bought by him
of James Stanton on the 25th of July. He
said that he met Stanton about four miles
from his camp while making a trip to
Wibaux; that he had never seen Stanton
before or since. He said that Stanton
told him that he had been working on
the Bismarck ashburn grade and was
on his way west in search of work. Bar
nett claimed to have stepped up to the
end of his lumber wagon and written a
bill of sale, which was duly signed by
Stanton and witnessed by Will Smeaton.
a horse wrangler who was in his employ.
Barnett said that Smeaton was unable to
write, having broken his collar bone in
the spring, and that he signed for him.
He said that he paid sI4o for the horses.
lSmea,on corroberated the above and
also testified that Barnett had not been
away from the camp and his work as
grader all summer exception afew hours
at astime like making a trip to Wibaux
for supplies. Oscar Barnett and one of
their employees were on the stand to
prove substantially the same thing, the
intent being to show that it would have
been impossible for Walter Barnett to

a RECOUNT IN ANNE ARUNDEL.
Eleven Census Office Employees De
tailed for the work.

Director Merriam last night despatched
eight selected employees Of the Census OF
flee to Anne Arundel County, Md. Three
additional employees will leave for the
same county this morning. They VIII
make new enumeration of the inhabl-
tants Of the county and compare it with
the lists submitted by enumerators who
are suspected of padding the census re-
turns. 1t seems fraud has been charged
in the census returns from Anne Arundel
County as in St Mary and Charles coun-
ties, in which cases an investigation IS
now in progress. The recount of Anne
Arundel County will probably take about
two weeks.
Anne Arundel County is in the Con-
gressional district represented by the
Hon. Sidney Mudd. The extent of the
frauds is not known. At the Census Bu-
reau it is said merely that sufficient
number of false names has been detected
to warrant the recount ordered. 1t is
known. however, that the eleven enumer-
ators are nearly all under suspicion OF
having done their work carelessly, to say
the least. and that the whole number OF
dead" names reported is wei! up in the
hundreds The methods adopted were
identical with those In St. Mary County.
The authentic lists were made out IN ap-
parent good faith and all the false names
were added in supplementary schedules.
No further arrests have been ordered,
but the Bureau is expected not to permit
any false returns to pass unpublished IN
view of the attitude toward the alleged
offenders in St Mary County. Director
Merriam says now, as he said When the
earlier discoveries were announced tndI
every enumerator against whom fair
accusation is made will be prosecuted.

ALLEGED THEFT OF BONDS.
A Negro Arrested. Aecnsed of steal
ing Government Securities.

George Burrell, a negro about thirty
years old, was arrested yesterday after
noon and is held at the Fifth precinct
station for Detectives Brown and Lacy
charged with the larceny of Government
bonds valued al $500 and about S. in cash
from the saloon of Gaskins x Gaines,
both eolored, 800 Eighth Street northwest
The robbery is said to have been com
mitted Sunday night. The bonds nave
been recovered by the police.
During the Inauguration rush Burreli
was employed as a bartender by GaskIns
* Gaines and became thoroughly familiar
with the saloon and restaurant attached.
After he left the employ of the firm he
occasionally stopped at the saloon. Mon
day morning Gaskins opened the place to
find that rear door had been forced. He
made a hasty examination and went TO
headquarters to report that s. had been
stolen from his cash drawer, together
with several small articles.
On returning to his saloon with Detec-
tives Brown and Lacy, Gaskins found
that a trunk in a rear room had been
forced by the thieves and five 800 bonds
stolen. The detectives obtained informa-
tion which led them to suspect Burrell.
While they were making their investlga-
tion Policeman Stewart, of the sUlb-sta-
ton, Anacostia, learned that five bonds
were in the possession of DIR. Gales, a
colored physician, residing on Nichols
Avenue, Anaeostia.

HARRY WILBUR HEARD FROM.
The Missing Secretary Writes His
Wife From Norfolk. Va.

The prOtracted silence of Harry G. Will

Woodward, who disappeared from his
home several days ago, was broken
yesterday. Mrs Wilbur received a let
ter from her husband dated at Norfolk
and containing some brief suggestions
concerning family matters. Wilbur did
not assign any cause for his absence nor
did he mention any plans for returning
home. The tenor of the epistle led the
police to suspect that the missing secre-
taTy may be demented. They at once
telegraphed the Norfolk police to locate
the missing private secretary, but at a
late hour had not been advised that Will

this morning.
The letter from Wilbur did not give any
address, but was written on paper OF
the Atlantic Hotel. Norfolk. 1t is be-

Every effort to locate him is being made

BRAIN FOOD

Nearly everyone will admit that as a

only men engaged in u severe outdoor
manual labor can live on a heavy meat
diet and continue in health.
As a general rule. meat once day is
sufficient for all classes of men, women,
and children, and grains. fruit, and veg
etables should constitute the bulk of food
eaten.
But many of the most nutritious foods
are difficult of digestion and 1t is OF no
use to advise brain workers to eat largely
of grains ana vegetables where the diges-
tion is too weak to assimilate them
properly.

HAZLETON. Pa, April 2.-Despite
the alleged agreement arrived at be
tween representatives of the United
Mine Workers and of the coal opera
tors. recently, there is an impression
gaining ground in the coal regions mat
peace will not be maintained for long
and labor troubles at various colheIles
are imminent
That the companies are expecting
such contingency and taking What
they consider proper precautions 10
meet it was evidenced by action today
by Cexe Brothers & Co, of iri1toh'
the next largest individual operators IN
the Hazieton region.
They locked out the men employed at
their Oneida colliery and also sent
home all working at their No. : Stock
ten colliery. One Of the officials SAID
that il was true the company had
locked the men out at Oneida; that
trouble was brewing. and not many
days would pass by before the storm
would break.
when the man quoted was asked
whether the same methods would be
applied at the other collieries Of the
company, he hesitated a moment, and
then replied:
well. not just at the present time
The cause Of the lockout, the men
say. was that the company wished to
hoist rock and timber between the
hours of and in the morning, and
would not lower the miners in the
workings during these hours. Some OF
the men refused to walk down the
main way and returned home, where
upon the foreman locked them all out.
Representatives of the Mine Work
ers' Union subsequently asked the fore
man TO revoke the order, but he re-
FUSED to do so. Attempts on the part
Of the men to see Superintendent Kud-
Itch were also without result.
The union miners say that the COM
pauy is resorting to such methods n
order to provoke a strike. thus putting

upon the men.
