How Forest Reserve Order Affects
Wyoming Stockmen.

Wyoming stockmen.
from Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
William Dickie of Meeteesee, Wyo.,
was in the city yesterday. Mr.. Dickie
is prominently identified with the
range stock business in that part of
the country and like other cattlemen
in that section is alarmed for the fu-
ture success of the industry if the
forest reservation proclamation is to
be carried cut to the letter.
Mr.. Dickie stated that the extern
sion of the reserve at this particular
time could not possibly work a great
er hardship to the settlers. The coun-
try throughout the entire Big Horn
basin is suffering from a drought, the
like of which has never been known
to the Oldest settler in that locality.
The "anges adjacent to the ranches
are barren of feed and the only hopes
for sheep and cattle owners was that
part of the country which has now
been declared a forest reserve. I'm
less the committee appointed to visit
the president is successful in having
the proclamation modified. Mr.. Dickie
says that most of the men dependent
upon the range in that section will
either have to dispose of their stock
or move their herds to other ranges.

Although long regarded as one of
the most skilful "grafters'' in the red
light district, Edna White has sue

She is in the county Jail charged
with having stolen $50 from Fred
Moreck. a stranger, whom she in
weighed into her dive last Monday
night. The proof of her guilt is said
by the police to be positive, as at
least two witnesses declare they will

LOOKS LIKE
Report That N. p. Will Shorten Its
Line.

..=. sE IuUSs ... . 81 XIX
According to reports from Miles
City it would seem that there is some
likelihood of the Northern Pacific put
ting into execution it's reputed plan
of shortening its line between that
city and Medora by constructing the
long talked Of "cutoff" EAST of Glen
dive.
A man who arrived from the Custer
county capital this morning states
that he met several men there the day
before who said they were under or
ders to proceed to Medora, where
crews are to be concentrated for con-
struction on the "cutoff." Men had
assembled, it was said, at Terry and
Fallon with instructions to proceed
to the North Dakota town and there
await further orders.
Color is given to the report by an
item in the Yellowstone Journal.
which paper says that the foreman of
the gang that has been at work there
enlarging the depot reports having
been notified that the orders given
him earlier in the season to erect
some storage buildings at Glendive
had been countermanded. The build
ings referred to were for the purpose
of housing lime, cement and other
building material.

Although the news is not of the ma

made in eastern Montana last sum
mer were not solely for the purpose
of giving the engineers an outing. One
of the TWIN City papers has the fol
lowing:
"The Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul

surveyors, who IS months ago ran a

tana. have also been ordered west.

ment and a large quantity of supplies
are already there, doing nothing but
waiting.
"The action is said to mean active
work within a month on the proposed
line into Montana and through to Seat
tie in competition with the north
ern coast lines. The preliminary sur
veys are the basis of a plan Of action.
which. if the Milwaukee carries out
the threat, will give it 1000 miles of
new railroad.
"The Black Hills will be tapped by
a branch line, and Helena will be
reached by a second branch from
Boulder. The Lo Lo pass route is one
through which the Northern Pacific
has already made surveys and it is the
only passage ever found across the
Bitter Root range available for rail-
way construction.
"Evarts, the base of the proposed
construction, is the western terminus
Of a direct line from Minneapolis west

present plans it would increase the
system to- a total mileage of $500, and
give Minneapolis it's fourth line to

a marketable article and has a fixed

When too late Sarah Gerard discoy-

predicament in which she alleges she
placed herself.
Through her attorney, Henry A.
Firth, she filed a complaint with the
clerk of the court this morning ask
ing for an order annulling the mar
riage existing between herself and
the defendant. She alleges that she
and Abraham Gerard were intermar-

October 25, 1882, and that at that time
and ever since the defendant has
been afflicted with insanity, but that
she did not learn the fact until long

that in January, 1897, he was regular
ly adjudged insane by a court and or
dered committed to the Missouri in
sane asylum at Nevada, in that state,
where he now is.
Because of his mental condition she
asks the court to annul the marriage
and according to section 112 of the
civil code of Montana declare their
children legitimate. One of the chill
dren, Lannie Stout, aged Is years, is
married. The others are, Paul, aged
IL years; Louis, 9 and Claud, 6 years.

Wyman was convicted in the district

The prisoner bears a fairly good
