He Does Not Know How He Reached
Des Moines.


Des Moines.
From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
At last a letter has been received
from Paul Scholkoph, the Northern
Pacific freight conductor, who myster-
1ously disappeared from this city
April 2. He has written to Train
master Houston of Glendive and says
that he believes he was undoubtedly
drugged in this city, as he claims to
have no recollection of his wanderings
or actions from the time he last walk
ed the streets of Billings until he
awoke in the hospital at Des Moines.
He says he was as much surprised at
finding himself so far away from
home as his friends undoubtedly
were to learn of his whereabouts.
1t has not been learned whether he
was robbed, but the supposition is
that those who drugged him, if he
really was drugged, took whatever
money he had on his person, other
wise he would not have been in the
destitute condition he was when he
arrived at Des Moines. It will be re-
membered that the secretary of a
Pythian lodge in that city wrote to
the secretary of the Forsyth lodge
that Scholkoph was there and in dis
tress, a card having been found on
him showing him to be a member of
the Forsyth lodge.

KILLED IN WIND STORM.
Tornado Works Destruction in South
Carolina Town,

Union, S. c., May A6.-Six persons
were killed and several injured by a
tornado which swept over this sec
tion of the state this afternoon.
The main storm came from the
north. 1t seems there was also one
from the southwest and that both met
in this vicinity. The storm from the
north was preceded by a heavy rain
and with what appeared to be a dark
mass of clouds about 100 yards wide
which travelled with great speed. One
wing of the storm passed along Main
street and blew In several store fronts,
doing much damage to stocks.
A knitting mill south of the town
caught the full force of the tornado,
which blew down the school house
and two residences there, converting
them literally into kindling wood. The
occupants ran from one of the houses
before it went to- pieces and took ref
uge in another nearby, but this house
also was crushed into splinters. In
this house the Misses Sallie Hart and
Annie Lawson we're instantly killed.
Mrs. Maggie Sims died in an hour
and her daughter Vera died at about
8 O'Clock. Maxey Sims had an arm
broken. Lee Sims received several
cuts on the head from falling timbers
and was internally injured. Mr.. Ma
brey sustained a fractured shoulder
and his leg was badly burned by a
stove falling On him. He was also In
ternally injured and may die. Mrs.
Lee Sims received a bad but not fatal
cut on the head. Mrs. Mabrey and her
two other children escaped with
slight injuries. 1t took some time
to get the victims from the debris.

ATTEMPT TO
KILL FAMILY
BUTTE RESIDENCE BLOWN UP
1Y GIANT POWDER.
SLEEPING ROOM CHANGED
Providential Circumstance That Saw.
ed the Lives Of the Intend.
ed Victims.

Butte, May 26.-The terrific explo
sion which alarmed the city on Mon
day morning at an early hour. and
which a then reported t. have been
o~ccasioned ny the explosion 81 q 20:
Of molten metal at the Colorado
smelter, was, instead, the result of
a ~diabolical scheme on the part of
someone to annihilate J. B. Marshall
and his wife, and Edward Smith, who
occupy a three-rOom house near the
old Centennial mill on the road to
Rocker.
At about 2 o'clock monday morning
Marshall and his wife and Smith
were hurled from their beds by a
most terrific upheaval. It was sever
al moments before either of the three
could summon courage to investigate
the cause, and then, on consultation,
it was decided to postpone an outdoor
search for the cause until daylight.
1t was then found that some enemy
of the family had placed several
sticks of dynamite under the kitchen
floor, and that ABOUT 20 feet of un-
burned fuse remained. The entire
rear portion of the house was demol-
ished, and the main portion was re-
moved from it's foundations.
That the fiend who planned the
deed failed in accomplishing his aw-
full object was due to circumstances
almost ~providential. For several
months, and up to Saturday night,
Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall had occupied
the rear room as a sleeping apartment
and it was here that the murderous
william had expected the explosion of
dynamite would find them on Monday
morning. On Sunday morning, how
ever. Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall rear
ranged the house, and Transporting the
furniture in the two rear rooms, con-
verified what had been the kitchen in
to their sleeping apartment. 1t was
thus that they narrowly escaped be-
ing hurled into eternity without so
much as a moments warning.
Marshall consulted with County At
torney Breen Monday afternoon con-
corning the matter of placing the re-
sponsibility for the terrible deed, but
no definite action has yet been taken.
7 have a well-based suspicion as to
the person who made the attempt to
murder u.s." said Marshall yesterday,
"and I believe that it was a neighbor
with whom / had some trouble recent
ly. OF course l am not certain of this.
but l think that If the matter is ever
fathomed my suspicion will prove cor
rect"
1t is not probable that the perpe-
traitor of the deed will ever be known,
as he was seer Dy no one. Marshall
and his wife were too badly scared
by the explosion to venture outside
to make an investigation at the time,
and the fiend who designed their de-
.struction had ample time to make his
escape. even if he had waited to sat
lsfy himself of the result of his
work.

bardslattdia.h morning fhrs.Ebn duAAr
where an inquest is to be held today
on the body Of Y. Inomata, q Japanese
employment agent, who is believed to
have. been murdered.
Inomata was the representative of
a Portland, Ore, company OF Japanese
who are furnishing the Burlington
with Japs for; construction work on
the main line and the Toluca-Cody
branch. He disappeared May 10 and
although persistent search vas made
byshds c~ountrymen,. no trace of him
could be found until yesterday, when
K.sOta, aninterpreter employed with
Inomata learned something that caus-
ed him to think he hau at last OBJ
tanned a clue and which justified his
suspicion that the missing man had
BEEN fouly dealt with.
He vas told that about a half mile
this side of the Big Horn river, near
where the railroad crosses the stream,
a hole made by mep digging up trees
had been fled}a pA bore.1e appear
ance. of ~concealing something. He
went TO- the place Indicated and after
removing a little of the earth uncov-
cred the body of a. al Contenting
himself with limerelyGsexposing the
facein-order that he might be able to
see the features, he left. but not be-
fore e was satisfied that the body
was t4at9 off his missing c~ountryman,
AMI 4hameitd heEdty-ana notified the
authorities, having learned that the
remains were in Yellowstone county.
To Gazette reporter Ota said this
morning that he had no idea who had
killed Inomata, but was positive that
robbery was the motive, as the dead
man generallyihad considerable mon
cyl on his person. What caused him
to be all the more certain was the fact
that on the day of his disappearance
In4mata which he had
dr4wn from. one Of the banks of this
city for the purpose of paying cur
emf expenses.
The fact of the mans disappearance
was communicated to the Portland Of
fee of the company and last night one
OF their men, W. Trigoe, arrived from
the west for the purpose of assisting
in the search. He met Ota and learn
from him what has been here related.
It's said that the last time Inomata
was seen alive he was in a carriage
With'a -coupie~bf his countrymen and
the superstition is that they made
away-with- him. Ota was asked if
any Of the men of their camp were
missing. He replied that when he
left there yesterday all were present.
Hd was very guarded N his answers
to questions put by the reporter and
his general demeanor was that of one
WHO could tell more if he chose. The
faet that officers were going with
him to make an investigation prob
ably accounted for his apparent re-
tlcenoe and he will probably tell what
heI knows at the inquest. At all
events. he impressed his questioner
with the idea that he had his sus-
pldlons. but deemed it advisable not
to express them at that time.

BELLIES HIS NAME.
Roy, Honey Not az Sweet 40 He
J Might BE.

Roy, Honey Not az Sweet az He
D Might Be.
From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
Despite the sweetness suggested by
his name, Roy Henry is accused OF
being a real naughty and bad boy, for
he is nothing nor than a mere kid"
although he attempted to convince
the police this morning that he was
on the very threshold Of mans estate.
The charge against him is larceny.
ACCORDING to the story told by Chief
6Chlhoun, Honey came it low down on
d man who trusted his youthful and
innocent appearance to the extent Of
letting him get his clutches onto q
$40 bill. Honey was in the Billings
Cafe night before last and while
standing near the counter a man who
had just finished a meal handed him
the bill for the purpose OF getting it
changed, the waiter being unable 10
break" the bill. Roy said he would
be back instantly, but he evidently
had some difficulty in getting the
change or else forgot to return. Any
way, he never came lack and the
police were notified. Last night he
was found by one Of the officers and
locked up.
He was arraigned before Judge
Mann this morning. In order to learn
more OF the facts, the case was con-
tinued until tomorrow.
Looking for His Honey.
Unless he is recaptured, Honey
will not have to stand trial, for he
managed to make a successful get
away while being taken to the county
jail.
Chief Calhoun, who had him in
charge, took Honev to the sherln's
Office to turn him over to the county
It happened that none
OF the officers was IN at the time and
the chief left AFRO Battles. the janitor,
to guard the prisoner while he went
in search of n of the deputies.
Mr.. Battles concluded he would take
the fellow to Jail himself and started
with him for the bastile. When with
in a block of the jail Honey suddenly !
and leaped over a fence and
disappeared. Battles attempted to
hold him as he was climbing the !
fence. but Honey was not to- be STOP
ped and left a generous portion Of his !
coat in the hands of the janitor.

Ignorance Against Ignorance.

The Skagway Alaskan gets hot be- cause the Seattle Chamber of Com merce exercised the prerogative of ev- cry thinking man, and changed it's pol icy with regard to the question of ter ritoriaI form of government for Alaska Our esteemed contemporary adds its ouoto of mud and vitrol by the follow ing terse, but in no wise truthful, state ment:
 "It is largely on account of the crass ignorance of Seattle business men, in solar as Alaska is concerned, that they have lost more than three-fourths ot the business of the interior of Alaska and the Yukon territory"
 Before our friend of the Alaskan un- dertakes the censorship of all things temporal in the District of Alaska, let him first ascertain where the most pop uIous communities are located and where the business men and the busl- ness of Alaska may be found.
Douglas Island news., 1902-09-10
Prospectors Shut Out.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer is very severe in it's denunciation of the order of President Roosevelt creating the Alexander Archipelago forest reserve. In part it says:
 "The effect of the order as it now stands will be to paralyze the mining industry in the entire district affected. The Prince of Wales Island, the largest in the Archipelago, has scarcely been scratched; but the vast lodges, which have proved an inviting field for the prospector, will remain unexplored. The flourishing towns on the mainland, Ketchikan and Wrangel, which the har- dy pioneers have been accustomed to regard as headquarters for their opera tions, will receive disastrous setback; and Seattle, from which the bulk of the supplies for the entire section is drawn, will be heavy sufferer. The blighting effect of the order will be felt all over Southeastern Alaska. In fact, as a measure designed to do good but cer- tain to do immeasurable harm, it has no parallel except the forest reserve order of President Cleveland, which, fortunately, has been modified.
 The prospective mineral wealth of the region affected is incalculable. The millions annually produced on Douglas Island, Berners Bay, the mines of Sum, dunn and scores of other points merely point out the possibilities of Prince ot Wales, Mitkof, Kupreanof, Kulu and other islands, if the miner is given free access to them.
 Under the circumstances the newspa' pers of Alaska are justified in severe criticism of the order. It ought to be modified. The prospector ought to be given chance to find the wealth hid den in the earth Let the forests be preserved, but do not shut out the miner.
