a number of complaints have
been registered in this Office over
the killing Of prairie chickens be-
fore the law says they may be killed.
The law is for the protection Of
the game and those who obey the
law and when the hunting season
opens, pay their license fee, what
eyer it may be, find that the
chickens and other game have been
killed off by those who have no
1' respect for the Law.

RoBBER IDENTIFIED
HARRY LOGAN AND "KlD" CURRY
ARE ONE.

st. Paul, Jan. ia special to the
Pioneer Press from Helena, Mont,
says: "T. A. NARROW, president of
the National Bank of Montana, today
identified the picture Of Harvey Logan,
the man who was recently arrested
at Knoxville, Tenn, with Bank OF
Montana notes in his possession, as
that of "Kid" Curry. The banks
notes found in Logan's possession are
alleged to be part of the booty taken
when the Great Northern train was
robbed at Wagner, Mont, last July.
"Mr. NARROW formerly employed
Curry as a cowboy and knew him
we'll. Curry, or Logan, is still in Jail
at Knoxville. His identification by
Mr.. NARROW may mean that he will
be prosecuted for participation in the
Wagner holdup.

VERY LITTLE HOPE IS LEFT
BARE POSSIBILITY THAT CREW
OF BRISTOL ARE ALIVE,

Port Townsend, Wash, Jan. 15.-All
hope of Captain James Mcintyre and
crew of the Inflated steamer Bristol
being alive, was dispelled on the ar
rival of the steamer Cottage City from
the north today. Captain Wallace,
who picked up the survivors says that
he believes that the others went down
with the vessel when she slid FROM
the reef, and even if they had got
clear from the ship it would have been
almost impossible for their small
boat to have lived in the sea which
was raging at the time. Captain Wal
lace says there is only one chance
of their being alive. They may posi-
bly, have reached Port Simpson.
The storm wrought havoc at Wran-
gel. The Davidge warehouse, a struc-
ture built during the Klondike ex-
citement, was picked up by the wind
and dumped into the bay and is now
floating in the channel, a menace to
navigation. Other buildings were
more or less damaged but no lives
were lost.

RELATIONS WITH GERMANY,
Were Always Friendly Until Out
break of Spanish War.

Berlin, Jan. 15.-The F%rankforter
Zeitung publishes a remarkable edi,
to1ial today reviewing American Ger.
man relations.
The paper says that these were unin-
terruptedly friendly until German Of
fetal circles displayed sympathy with
Spain at the outbreak of the Spanish.
American war. Since that time, the
Frankforter Zeitung goes on to say,
the German government has reached
the conviction, somewhat slowly per-
haps, that the great republic in the
west has become a factor with which
Germany must reckon everywhere,
in Europe, America and Asia. The
paper regards the immense develop
ment of trade relations as facilitating
harmonious cooperation between the
two countries.

VOTE CAN NEVER Be HAD
GILLIAN PLAN TO PREVENT
ADOPTION OF ARBITRATION

Mexico City, Jan. 15.-The obstruc-
tive tactics of Chilli were clearly dem
Cnstrated both at the morning and
afternoon session of the Pan-Ameri-
can congress today, SO it begins to
be apparent that it will be practically
impossible ever to bring either Of
the arbitration projects to a vote un-
less some rule resembling the cloiture
of the British parliament is adopted,
as the Chilians will continue to talk
indefinitely. After attacking, through
out the afternoon session, the plan OF
general acceptance of The Hague
articles as having been hastily adopt,
ed, they finally changed front, dropped
their W plan of acceptance and gave
their assent to the general plan but
insisted that instead of merely pass
ing drought the conference, it be
submitted thereto for debate. They
knew that if it be only debated, they
will be able to delay things indefinite
ly,. In the meantime working for the
withdrawal of more Central and
South American delegations until in
that way they will have succeeded in
wrecking the conference. The dis
cussion will be continued at an extra
session tomorrow.

CHEAP STUFF COMES HIGH
RESIDENTS OF NORTHERN OHIO

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 15.-The resi-
dents Of northern Ohio who bought
imitation seal and sable furs from a
Montreal firm, under the impression
that they were getting expensive fur
garments at a low price by having
them smuggled into this country, will
try to get their property back from
the government which recently con
iscated it. he department has rul-
ed that the furs may be returned if
payment is made of the invoice price
and duty.
AS the owners have already paid
the Montreal firm a good price think
ing they we're getting the real article
the garments will be rather expensive
before the owners get them again.
/. A decision in a test case brought
by a Youngstown, Ohio, woman will
apply to all the others. Suits against
the Montreal firm are also contem-
plated.

Columbia, B. c., Jan. 15.-Hope for
the safety of the British warship Con
Cor is all but abandoned. Naval men
here are convinced she went to the
bottom during the recent typhoon,
while on her way from here to Homo
lulu. The admiralty officials will dis
patch the Pheaton Saturday to en-
deavor to obtain some trace of her.
The Condor was 81 days from here
for Honolulu on January 8, the date
Of the last mail, and left here Decem-
her 2, on the evening of the storm
in which the collier Mattowan was
lost. She may be sailing to the is
lands, however, as warships often do,
and with scant canvas and without
her propeller working, she would be
delayed.

II MERGER CASE.
Attorney General Douglass Averse to

=
Discussing It Out Of Court.
st. Paul. Jan. 15.-Attorney General
Douglass returned from Washington
this morning. Mr.. Douglass was
averse to discussing the merger case.
He says that in ordering a hearing on
Minnesota's petition to file a com,
plant the supreme court departed
from it's rule, but he does not consid-
er this ominious, as the court has
several times in the past year requir-
ed notice, and seems to be DESTROYS of
breaking away from precedent.
AS to the report that a suit will be
brought in the state courts, Mr.. Doug
lass refused either to affirm or deny
the rumor. He does not regard the
latest move in the Peter Power case
as threatening the states interests.

THEN ARRESTED AS JEWELLERY
THIEF.
CLAIMS TO Be SALESMAN
kerns Who is Wanted In
New York.

New Orleans, Jan. 15.-George I
Kline Of st. Louis and Robert l. West
of Cincinnati were arrested across the
river this morning for the alleged ROB
bling of the trunk of T. E. Manners OF
Chicago, Of about $4,000 worth OF
jewelry. They represented them
selves last night as Manners and an
other guest at the St. Charles, paid
their bills and left with the baggage.
They crossed the river in a skiff and
were caught before the train came
OF which they expected to leave,
through the watchfulness of a news
boy, who had read the story III the
newspapers.
Later in the day Manners went over
to identify the property and Kline &C
cused him of being a thief under an
alias. AS the whole affair had a
queer look Manners was also arrest
cd.
The police suspect he is Kerns, the
New York jewelry thief, and Chief of
Detectives Titus of New York sent
a telegram here which strengthens
the idea.
Manners claims that he is with his
father in the pawn brokerage bust
ness in Chicago and the jewelry taken
was unredeemed pledges he was try
ing to dispose of. Fifty diamond pins,
a gold watch, a diamond brooch and
some pearls are in the lot.
Kline makes the direct charge that
Manners is Kerns. The police say
the description fits exactly except
that the man has no scar on his face.
Manners claims that he will have
no difficulty in proving that he is a
Chicago jewelry salesman.
