STEAMER TACOMA ENCOUNTERS
ROUGH WEATHER,
DAMAGED BY BIG WAVES.
Reached Port Looking Like a Junk
Shop-Crew Behaved Hero
icaily-Two Injured.

Victoria, B. c., Nov. 12.-The steam
er Empress of China, which arrived
last night from China, brought details
of the terrible voyage of the liners
Tacoma and %Indrapura, the former
from Tacoma and the latter from
Portland.
The Tacoma spent % days in reach
ing Yokohama, nine days longer than
usual, and the Indrapura was "a days
from Astoria to Yokohama in conse-
quence Of the storms. The Tacoma
encountered a gale on the 18th, nine
days out with tremendous seas, which
swept inboard on the port side, I'M
shipping and smashing the two life
boats, the wreckage of which was
thrown overheard. The saloon sky
light was washed away and the sa-
loon flooded. The steamer was in
great danger and her officers feared
she would be lost. The steam
steering gear broke down and it
required six men at the wheel
aft. The telegraph was also
disabled, the captain and chief
officer of the bridge signally the
wheelhouse with the whistle.
The next morning another sea
swept owe the port quarter, carrying
the port quarter boat, which was driv-
IN through the captains room. The
davits were snapped like pipestems,
the tafrail broken and the whole
deckhouse wrecked. The wheelhouse
was stove in and flooded and officers
and sailors lifted from their feet and
damned against the roof. The cap.
tain's room lay in a mass of debris,
and the bulkhead between the room
and social hall was carried away. The
saloon doors were carried overheard
and the whole port side was stove in
and wrecked. The steamer looked
like a junk shop. She rode the seas,
however. Her engines acted we'll and
the crew behaved h%eroically, and but
two suffered injuries, both of a minor
nature.

the ease of illegal registration and
voting, proposed to be heard at the
Grow agency before a government
employee, is probably no exception to
the rule of imaginary jurisdiction at
the agency.
The men who are charged with il
legal registration and voting, if gull
ty of an offense against the election
laws of the state, should be punished;
but their trial should be held before
some one whose jurisdiction cannot
be questioned.
At the case set for hearing at the
agency next Monday eminent coun-
sci for both the prosecution and the
defense will be present. It may pos
sibly be concluded by the alleged
legal luminary before whom the case
is set for hearing, that for once he
has placed his foot into the mire, and
that he has discovered that he has
gotten hold of the hot end of a poker.
Counsel for the defense will not only
contend that the case is beyond the
jurisdiction of the alleged justice, but
that the whole proceeding makes out
a most excellent case which the civil
service commission at Washington
may be called upon to inquire into a
little later on.
AS already stated, if illegal regis
tration and voting was p%racticed in
Rosebud, or any other county in the
state, the parties guilty should be
punished; but under no circumstances
should the trials be made a farce by
reason of hearing of the cases before
men who have not the authority to
determine attractions of the law.

in loud and angry tones, demanded an
instant and complete apology.
Colonel Wetmore at first attempted
to soothe the angry man by declar-
ing he had made a mistake.
mo, l have made no mistake, SIR
calculated Mr.. Arlund. "You follow
ed my wife to her room, sir, and in
suited her. When she threatened to
scream for help or telephone the Of
flee you told her you were the presi-
dent, Of the hotel company and it
would do no good to report to the Of

"Why do you wait three days after
this alleged offense to make your
charges?" demanded Wetmore.

we'll know" exclaimed Arlund. "You

A few more words were exchanged
between the two men before Wet
more declared he would apol-
ogize. Arlund Immediately struck
him, then followed the first blow,
which landed on the side of the to-
bacco m%agnate's jaw, with a shower of
sledge-hammer like blows which the
millionaire was unable to evade but
which he warded off as best he could
by raising his arms. But for the in
reference of bystanders he would
have been rendered hors du combat.
Immediately after the ARRAY Mr..
and Mrs. Arlund left the hotel in a
carriage. Mrs. Arlund was waiting
for her husband at the ladies' en-
trance, within 20 feet of the carriage,
while the two men were struggling
in the corridor. No arrests have been
made. The Planters hotel people say
they have not authority to put Mr..
and Mrs. Arlund out of the hotel, be-
cause of the affair, and their effects
are still in the room.

LOCATION OF CAMP is BEING
KEPT SECRET.
WAVES BACK DETECTIVES
Goes Out Without a Guard
-Pittsburg People Amazed at
His UnconventiaIity.

Pittsburg, Nov. 12.-President
Roosevelt passed through Pittsburg
az 1920 this morning Ell route to a
point in Mississippi where he has ar
ranged to spend several days hunting
black bear as the guest of President
Fish of the Illinois Central railroad.
He is travelling on a special train
OF three cars and is accompanied by
Secretary C%ortelyou and his physi
clan, DR.. G. A. Lung of the navy. He
will go direct to Memphis without
stopping.
He will reach Memphis tomorrow
morning where he will be Joined by
President Fish and the journey to
Mississippi will be made. The next
destination of the president has been
kept secret. Hunting with a gallery
is not to the taste of a sportsman
like President Roosevelt and it was
for hat reason that he vetoed the
hunt to which Governor Longino in
vited him.
A camp has already been prepared
in northern Mississippi, a few miles
from the line of the railroad, and it
is understood one of the best packs
of hounds in the south is waiting to
be shipped on the trail of old bruin
upon the presidents arrival. Bears
are reported to be plentiful in the
vicinity, so that the president is look
ing forward to the sport with m lch
pleasure.
The train will be side-tracked at
the nearest point to the camp and re-
main there until the presidents re-
turn to Memphis next Wednesday.
During the short stop here to change
engines the president got out of his
car and paced up and down the plat
form. A large crowd had gathered.
After greeting them with a pleasant
good morning, the president stepped
off the platform and took a brisk walk
down the tracks, stopping occasional
ly to speak to a yard switchnan or
an engineer in his cab on a siding.
The crowd was amazed at this dis
play of unconventiality. The secret
service men with the train started to
follow the president but he waved
them back. The police, however. took
care to keep the crowd back of the
end of the train and the president had
a clear field for his constitutional.
The train left at 10:41 for the west
and as it pulled out the crowd cheer
ed heartily.

TRAGIC SCENE IN FIRST NATION.

FELL DOWN LIKE ONE DEAD
Excitement Causes Harry Miller to
Be Frustrated With an
Epileptic Fit.
From Thursdays Daily Gazette.

From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
Harry Miller, a recent arrival from
Kirby, Rosebud county, was taken
with IN epileptic fit in the First Ma
tional bank this morning.
Miller is one of a crew of men who
arrived from Kirby a few days ago
and who are supposed to have been
temporary residents of Rosebud
ty for the purpose Of increasing the
democratic vote. At all events, a
check received from one of the lead
ers of the Rosebud democracy was
the indirect cause of his attack.
He and the others celebrated their
arrival and while knocking about
town he deposited the check with a
saloonkeeper. One of his compan-
ions secured it and presented it at
the First National bank for redemp-
ton. AS the mar was a stranger the
bank forwarded the check to Forsyth
for collection, it having been drawn on
n of the banks of that place.
This morning Miller obtained trace
of it and went to the bank and de-
manded the money. When told he
could not get it until orders for it's
payment had been received from the
Forsyth bank he grew excited. This,
with the events of the past few days
are supposed to have brought on an
attack of the disease to which he
appears to be subject. He fell to the
floor and for a few moments it was
believed that he was dead, al his
pulse had ceased action. Several of
the bank employees and others who
happened to be there picked him up
and carried him upstairs to a doctors
office, where he revived shortly after

RESULT OF NEW RATING.
Changes That Become Effective in
M the Sheriff's Office.

M the Sheriff's Office.
TUnder it's new classification Vel
county's official family will
be slightly changed. An additional
deputy sheriff will be added to the
number now doing duty. The new
appointee will be stationed at Co.
lumbus, which place so far has been
without such an officer, although it
is next to Billings the largest town
in the county.
After January 1 the sheriff will be
entitled to an under sheriff and three
deputys. One of the latter will con-
tinue to be stationed at Musselshell,
while as before stated, another will
be assigned to Columbus. The third
will be kept at headquarters and will
also act as jailor. The change in rat
ing affects the sheriff's Office in an
other way also. The salary attaching
to it will be increased $500 a year,
while that of the under sheriff will
be advanced $25 a month. The pay
of the deputies may be increased to
500.
Although he has not yet made his
selections public, it is understood
that Mr.. Hubbard will retain his pres;
ent force. 1t is also said that he has
practically decided upon the appoint
ment for Columbus.

'MOLINEUX IS
Is. FREE AGAIN
ACQUITTED OF THE CHARGE OF
MURDER.
THOUSANDS CHEER HIM
Jury Considers Case and Find Prison
er Innocent in Thirteen
Minutes.

New York, Nov. 12.-Roland B. Mo-
lineux was set at liberty today after
spending nearly four years in prison,
and being once condemned to death
and twice placed on trial for his life
for the murder of Mrs. Katherine J..
Adams. Thirteen minutes suficed for
the jury to reach a verdict Of acquit-
tai.
Molineux, who was brought into
court as soon as it was known that
the jury had agreed, was apparently
as u~nconcerned as he had been
throughout the trial, and gave no evil
dence of emotion when the words that
established his innocence were pro-
nounced. His aged father, General
Molineux, was deeply affected, and
could with difficulty respond to the
GREETINGS OF friends who pressed for
ward to offer their congratulations.
Immediately after the rendering Of
the verdict the prisoner was formally
discharged from custody, and left the
court room with his father and coun-
sci. In passing out of the building
the three were cheered by a great
crowd that gathered in anticipation
of the acquittal.
From the criminal court building
Molineux went to the city prison. In
making his way to his old cell, and
thence to the front entrance, he
%traversed a considerable portion of
both the old and the new prison, and
everywhere he went the news of his
acquittal went too, and the prisoners
cheered him. He even went through
the woman's department, where there
were many who cheered him.
Molineux, accompanied by his faith
er and two of his attorneys, entered
a carriage and was driven away to
his fathers house in Brooklyn. About
5000 persons, cheering and shouting,
surrounded the carriage and greatly
delayed It's departure. TIL, keepers
of the Tombs prison came out and
shook hands with Molineux and many
people waved handkerchiefs from the
windows and in the street.
