PRESIDENT OFFERS A PRIZE
MAYFLoWER CREW WILL SHOOT
AT TARGET.
Stories Of III Treatment of Men on
Board Denied by Lieutenant
Commander GIeaves.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. ARRANGE
ments have been practically complet-
ed for May Flowers target practice
in Gardeners bay next Tuesday for
the prize of $25 in gold offered by the
president. The president and Mrs.
Roosevelt will be witnesses of the
contest. They will leave here Tues
day in the Sylph and probably will
board the May Flower that night.
The target practice will be conduct
ed under the usual naval regulations.
A target 20 feet wide and 16 feet nigh
will be placed on a float. The May
Flower, at a distance of 1900 yards.
will steam past the target at speed
Of seven miles an hour. The arma-
men of the May Flower consists of
12 rapid fire guns, two gunners being
assigned to each. Competition for the
prize will be among these "a men.
Each gunner will have two opportun-
tiles to demonstrate his skill in pc
riods of two minutes each.
The gunners may fire as many shots
as they care to in those periods, the
firing being timed by a split second
watch. A careful record of every
shot fired will be kept. The gunner
making the best record will receive
the prize from the president person
ally.
Concerning the stories of. ill treat
ment of the men on board the May
Flower, Lieutenant Commander
G1eaves, in command of the vessel.
said today that gross exaggerations
of the real cause had appeared in
some newspapers. He admitted there
had been some desertions but that
really no more than might have been
expected under the circumstances.
He denounced the stories that the
men have been given old bread as
absolutely without foundation.
It was announced that Secretary
Moody. on his recent visit to- the ship,
had congratulated Commander
Gleaves. not only on the condition OF
the vessel. but also on the appearance
cf the men.

escaped in the darkness.
Many rumors are in circulation here
that attempts will be made to start

MRS. BELL SENTENCED.
Will Serve Three Years at Deer Lodge
for Cattle Stealing.

Great Falls, Aug. 3.-Mrs. Emma
ed in the Choteau county court few
days ago on the charge of cattle steal
ing, was sentenced yesterday by Judge
Tattan to serve three years IN the
state penientiary.
|. Mrs. Bell is we'll known in Great
Falls and for years lived on the west
month ago she, in company with Earl
Davis, brought three head of calves
to this city and sold them to Byers-
dorf & Nollar, the Little Chicago
butchers. Later William Snow, a
rancher living near the Choteau coun-
ty line, learned that one of the calves
belonged to him. He came to Great
Falls and reported the matter to Depu-
ty Sheriff Hogan, who communicated
with Deputy Sheriff Lennihan of Lit
tie Chicago. Mr.. Lennihan went over
to the stock yards and found the
calves and later reported back to Ho-
gan.
The matter was taken UP here and
Mrs. Bell and Davis were arrested on
informations made here, charging
them with cattle stealing, or more
properly, bringing stolen property in
to the county.
AS the offense was committed in
Choteau county, that county had the
| preference and the case against Mrs.
Bell was transferred there. The case
against Earl Davis is still pending in
the court here and will be taken up at
the next term.

1 the sentence was communicated by
telephone. assisted in the prosecution

He was taken before Mr. Fraser and
his bond fixed at $500. In default
he was committed and was still in
jail this morning, having found no.
body who would undertake to go se-
curity for his appearance later.
Among the letters found in the
trunk Of the prisoner was one from
the department at Washington in re-
ply to recommendation of Captain
Perkins to increase the salaries Of the
clerks of the office 800 a year, each,
and to which recommendation the
captain had never received reply,
although it had been made several
months ago, at the time of his last in
spection of the Office. Among those
benefited by the order for the in
crease was Swanson.
AS near as can be learned Swan
sons sole motive was to make trou-
BILE for the office and particularly for
Mrs. Snyder, the general delivery
clerk, for whom he appears to have
formed dislike. In speaking of the
matter this morning Captain Perkins
said that he had learned that some
time ago he was told that Swanson
had remarked to some one on the out
side that he would make things SO
disagreeable for Mrs. Snyder that she
would be compelled to resign and he
would get another clerk to work with
him ycne of his choosing. The fact
that he is known to have held back
orders for forwarding mail orders
that are attended to by Mrs. Snyder
is taken as meaning that his threat
was not an idle one and he thought
by doing so the numerous complaints
which would in time arise about mail
not being forwarded would result in
her dismissal from the service.
| Perhaps nobody is more strongly
affected by the arrest of Swanson
than Postmaster Babcock who had
! the most implicit confidence in him
and regarded him as one of his most
trustworthy and reliable assistants
Swanson is absolutely temperate and
| was faithfulness itself so far as pune
tuality and apparent regard for duty
was concerned and his downfall is
1 causing anguish to Captain Babcoc.
who appointed him to the position he
has been holding over four years ago
This morning Swanson was arraign
ed before United States Commission
er Fraser. He was represented by
! w. NJ. Johnston and the complaint
against him was read. In it he stands
charged with having secreted and alb
stracted certain official letter ad
dressed to the postmaster of Billings
The return on the search warrant
made by Deputy Sheriff Robbins
shows long list of similar letters
sent by different postoffices, to have
been found in the defendants trunk
After hearing the complaint reat
the prisoners attorney asked the com
missioner to fix bail and set a date
for preliminary examination. At the
suggestion of Captain Perkins the
commissioner reduced the origina
bond to $1,5OO and fixed next Mon
day, August II, as the date for the ex

"BLAck" PERRY is KILLED BY
JIM HAYNiE.
he ALLEGES SELF DEFENSE
Killing Outcome Of Threats Made
by Dead Man-Haynie Sur
renders Himself.
From Mondays Daily Gazette.

tTOn MOuudy DdlIy IdZeCte.
Meagre details have been received
of a shooting affray which occurred
on the Grow reservation last Saturday
afternoon and in which "Jim" Haynie,
foreman of the Hysham Cattle COM
pany, shot and killed a man known as
Black Perry, until recently an en-
ploye of the company.
The dead man, another. known as
White Perry, one called Red Jack"
and several others We're discharged
by Mr. Haynie about two months ago
on suspicion of having been engaged
in "rustling" calves belonging to the
company Previous to this time all
had been on good terms, in fact even
after their discharge the men were ac-
customed to visit Haynes camp and
eat and sleep there. Finally the re-
ports of stealing by the discharged
men became so numerous, that, after
an investigation, the foreman salts
fed himself of their truthfulness and
he ordered the men to leave the reser-
walton, or at least that part of it un-
der lease by the company. This turn
ed them against him and it is said
that BLACK" Perry made threats that
| ho would kill Haynie. To this Haynie
paid no attention until about two
weeks ago, when he received informa-
tion that Perry was looking for him
with the avowed intention of killing
him. The information came from such
a source that Haynie really began to
consider himself in danger and for the
/! first time in years went armed.
| Saturday afternoon at about 2
o'clock Haynie and Perry met in a
cabin on Beaver creek. Nobody was
present except themselves and just
| what transpired between them is not
known, further than that Haynie kill
ed Perry, shooting him four times
with 3O-30 Winchester rife. After
the shooting Haynie remained in the
cabin until two of his cowboys. whom
he had agreed to meet there, arrived.
| He left one of them, Tom Smith, with
the body, and sent the other to
Forsyth, the shooting having occurred
in Rosebud county, to notify the au-
thorities, while he himself went to
the home of Frank Baker, one of the
agency farmers, and gave himself up.
He remained at Bakers home until
yesterday morning, when accompanied
by his custodian, he went to the
agency and informed Major Reynolds
of what he had done. The major ap-
pointed Baker constable for the oc-
casion and he retained custody Of
Haynie. Last night the two came on
to Billings, spending the night here,
and this morning early left for For
syth.
| AS near as can be learned Havnie
made NO statement to anybody fur
ther than that he was forced to kill
Perry or be killed himself Those
| familiar with events on the reserva-
ton during the, past two months were
not surprised when they heard of the
affair, as something of the kind had
been expected by them. The only
wonder they have expressed is that it
| was Perry who was killed. instead
Of Haynie, as they believed Haynie
would be assassinated without hav-
| ing chance to defend himself.

Fertilizers.

To keep up the productiveness
of their lands, cotton farmers
have depended too much on com
mercial fertilizers. The use Of
superphosphates will have to
continue, except where stall ma
nure is usea or the lar d enrich ed
by parking cattle, but they could
SO manage as to dispense with
the purchase of millions of dol
lars worth of nitrogen and pot.
ash. When they do the best
that circumstances permit, they
will dispense with all unneces-
sary expenditures for fertilizers.
So far as plant food has to do
with the yield of crops, two sub
stances only need receive the
constant attention of the cotton
farmer. One is nitrogen, the
other phorphoric acid. Legum-
nous crops may be used for sup
plying nitrogen, and supe rphos-
phate, for the phosphoric acid.
Study the farm-To be able to

farming is not matter OF thumb
rule but of good judgment based
on correctprlnciples, and inform

the supply of water is irregular,
