Turtle Mountain Reservation.

Turtle Mountain reservation, the
home of the Turtle Mountain Chippe-
was, is situated in the extreme north
central part of the state, in Rolette
county, and contains an area of seven
ty-two square miles. Less than one
third of this tract is cultivable, lakes
and timber land comprising a large.
part of the surface, while the south
ern half is prairie, rough, stony, roll
Ing, containing but little good farming
land. Most of the soil is poor, and in
Vulnerable failure of crops have great
ly discouraged the Indians and kept
them in poor circumstances. The
timber supply, which is rapidly de-
creasing, is their only resource when
crops fail. The number of Indians
2,393-is too large to find subsistence
on the reservation, and many have &C.
quired claims beyond the borders.
The principal crop of the Turtle
Mountain Indians is wheat, although
oats, barley and flax are generally
grown. Their hay crop consists of the
prairie grass. Nearly all Indian farm
ers raise potatoes, but no other vege-:
table are reported. The season of '99
was favorable one, and all crops did
wen. Inc majority OF tne SlXty-SeVen
Indian farmers cultivated in that year
from twenty to eighty acres. Nearly
every farmer had a few cattle in addi-
ton to his ponies and work horses, but
none owned any considerable number
of range cattle, or raised beef for the
market. Many had dairy COWS, and
chickens were found on most farms.
Government rations constituted but
rs per cent of the rations of this band;
81 per cent wear the garb of white
men, and SO per cent know enough
English for ordinary conversation.

Most Indian farmers have made q
start in stock-raising, and some al.
ready have substantial herds. Tho
majority reported small sales Of live;
stock, the annual receipts ranging be-.

MRS. LATIMER
IS SHAD0WED
BY THE POLICE.
Widow of Murdered Man Kept Under
Close Surveillance---Royal Arca-I
mum Detective Promises Arrests.

Brooklyn detectives are keeping Mrs. Albert C. Latimer under close sur
veilance. Seuths follow her wherever she goes. @@
There were two detectives nearby when the widow visited the home in
which the tragedy occurred. She wa alone, ant. the veil which she has
worn over her face since her husband died a raised, and she nodded
to acquaintance whom she met neal the house. She remained in the
house about twenty minutes. WHEN SHE LEFT SHE WAS FOL-
LOWED BY TWO DETECTIVES, WHO BOARDED A HAISEY
STREET OAR WITH HER.
II ws announced late this afternoon that arrests might be expected any
moment in the Latimer ase. THESE ARRESTS WILL BE IN SUP
PORT OF THE BURGLAR THEORY, so STRONGLY MAINTAINED
BY THE MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY. 100
Three young lei are under surveillance. They are members Of the mo-
torous Bedford section gang, which was exposed at the time the
Florence Burns case was under investigation. @#4
One Of these three men ID known to ride a bicycle. He is known to have
had previous to the Latimer shooting a silk cap, shoes and @ lamp
similar to those left by the murderer in the Latmer home.
These three mel knew Latmer. but the one who rides a bicycle knew him
and his family well. They had first lei in a bowling alley, where
Latimer and his wife and friends bowled. The bicycle rider was invites 70
the Latimer home. He and his companions KNEW THAT LATEMER
WAS A COLLECTOR AND THAT HE OFTEN KEPT LARGE SUMS
OF MONEY IN THE HOUSE OVER NIGHT. The Latimers were not
acquainted with the reputation of the three suspects. 4

CAPT. STRONG AND MAY YOHE
END JAPANESE ROMANCE

Capt. Putnam Bradlee Strong and
May Yohe have parted. He has dis
appeared and net eve Miss Yohe
knows where he has gone. Capt.
Strong's friends have become SO
anxious regarding him that the
Pinkerton Detective Agency has been
employed to search for him.
Last Tuesday he left the pretty
cottage at Hastings-o the Hudson,
where, with Miss Yohe and her
mother, he has been living since his
return from Japan. Since that time
not a word has been heard from him
by either Miss Yohe or her mother.
They do not know where he Is or
that he will ever return. That he in
tended to be gone for some time is
shown by the fact that he took his

READY TO ASK WARRANTS
FOR THREE NEW SUSPECTS.

Detective Henry Morrison, en-
ployed by the Royal Arcanun. for
which Latimer was collector. to work
on the case, says that he is almost
ready to ask for warrants for the ar
rests OF three young men.
They belong to respectable fami-
lies but through evil associations
have learned how to live and dress
well and spend money without hav-
ing to work for 1t.
Through meeting them at the
bowling alleys the Latimers believed
them to be Industrious and respecta-
BILE young men. They knew nothing
OF their real character or their in
tentions and did not know that they
were members OF the notorious Bed
ford section gang.
Detective Morrison has been work
ing on Thu part OF the case for ten
days. He says that he is now practi-
cally certain he is on the right track.
The young man who rides the bicycle
has kept away from the Latimer
home and away from the police since
the shooting. but Morrison avs that
should he ask for warrants he will
know where to find him and his CON-
panions.
MORRISON CAUSED SEVERAL
PERSONS WHO HAD SEEN THE
SILK CAP AND SHOES AND LAMP
OWNED BY THE SUSPECT TO
LOOK AT THE ARTICLES FOUND
IN THE LATIMER HOME. 1T is
SAID THAT THEIR lDENTIFICA-
TON OF THEM is COMPLETE.

Latimer he saw a man dash by hin
house on a bicycle. The bicycle was
without a lamp. The rider was guiaG
away from the Latlmer home. which
is about a block from the linn house.
Mrs. Latimer yesterday visited the
home in which the tragedy occurred.
She was alone, and the veil which
she has worn over her face since her
husband died. was raised, and she
smiled as she nodded to acquaint-
ances whom she met near the house.
She remained in the house about
twenty minutes. When she left she
was followed by two detectives. who
boarded a Halsey street car with her.

DATE FOR RESUMiNG
INQUEST POSTPONED.

So many new witnesses have been
found in the Latimer case that II
has been officially decided 10 change

inquest.

County Coroners' ONCE, announced
to-day that the case would come up
at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning in
stead OF s o'clock Monday evening,
to which hour it had been adjourned.
One reason for the postponement ID
that Coroner Williams wishes to

done at a night session.

STR0NGGONE
AFTER TALKING0F
KILLING HIMSELF.
Suffering Mentally and Physically from
Philippine Wound, He Told His
Lawyer He Had Lost All in Spec
ulation and Was Tired of Life.

Lawyer Emanuel NJ. Friend is firmly convinced that Capt.
Putnam Bradlee Strong has killed himself. That he and May
Yohe, formerly Lady Francis Hope, and with whom he went to
Japan, have parted there is no doubt. Miss Yohe admits this her
self. She does not know where Capt. Strong is, and petulantly de-
clares that she does not care. Before leaving the home he had e-
tablished for Miss Yohe at. astings-on-the-Hudson Capt. Strong
gave no intmaton of his intention of remaining away.
Mr. Friend, woh is May Yohes attorney, is greatly worried
over Capt. strongs mysterious disappearance, and frankly admits
that he believes he has committed suicide. He was in Mr.. Friends
office less than a week ago and said then he was "sick and tired of
life" and talked of killing himself.
Mr.. Friend tried to cheer him up and he left apparently in
better spirits. When seen by an Evening World reporter to-day
Lawyer Friend made the following statement regarding Capt.
Strong:
