Take the matter of our public build

ness sense in renting public build
ings from men who calculate upon
making 8 or per cent or more on
their Investments. when the govern
ment can get all the money it would
need for that purpose for 2 per cent.
"There is nothing in the connltion
of the country that would suggest at
this time any curtailment in the nec-
essary expenditures.
we should rather look to improv-

usefulness rather than to devote at
tention to reduction of expenses

And Believes That the Efficiency Of Service

TO Cut Down Expenses.

Senator Scott is one of the men who
believes in the government running
Its own affairs with the same broad
management that chracterizes private
business establishments when they are
conducted in an enterprising and sue
cessfui manner. The talk of ECONOMY
and cutting down the expenses of
the governments does not appear to his
sense of commendable action if lit
means the curtailment OF the activi-
tiessof the government or a policy
fayoIing niggardliness in salaries and
necessary expenses Cor doing bust
ness.

onuucted," said Mr.. Scott. with

A young man on farm can get $50

and rations. We would improve the
service by paving the soldiers at a
higher rate.
For these and additional reasons
think congress will pursue the wise
course if it devotes its thought to i'm
proving the public service bv adopt-
ing broad business policy rather than
by attempts to cu-tail expenses in a
wav that cannot helm lowering the
standard of effici, ncy."

BICYCLE ACCIDENT AND

WheeIman and Rescuer of Beauty in
Distress Are Behind Prison Bars.

Special to The Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., July 13.-Mel-
vim Johnson, aged about sixteen, and
Jake Green, a workman, were the VIC
tins Of a unique comedy of errors.
While young Johnson was riding his
bicycle near the Tenth street viaduct
he ran into a girl aged about twelve.
She screamed Justify and Green, who
was working in the vicinity, hurried to
her rescue. The girls dress was badly
torn and disarranged by being entan-
gled in one of the pedals of the bicycle
and this was taken by Green as evf-
dence that an attempt at assault had
been committed
Green used young Johnson very
roughly, striking him several times. He
turned his prisoner over to the author
tiles and a serious charge was lodged
against him. At the trial it develop
ed that the girl had been injured pure
ly as the result of an accident. For
his carelessness young Johnson was
sentenced to short term in prison.
After his trial he swore out a warrant
for Green's arrest on the charge of
assault and battery. GREEN'S trial re-
suited in his conviction and he also
was required to spend short time be-
hind prison bars.

closely wrapped body of an Indian,
Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen Wilson spent
the night. They were forced to re-
main there by grizzly bear, which
sat under the platform all night. Mr..

ing tour of the mountains, reached
Wallace several days ago, and since
then have been making trips into the
hills about here. Neither of them
was armed.
Yesterday while Mr.. and Mrs. Will
son were poking around in the hills
they SUDDENLY came on the bear, which
was wandering about, apparently in
search of food. When the man and
woman disturbed him he started for
them, and they started for the trees.
The four against which the platform
containing the body rested were the
nearest, and up one of them they
climbed That the platform was the
burying ground of an Indian family the
hunted ones did not realize until after
they had reached it, and then it was
too late to i-~tr eat. Warm nights never
are known here in the mountains, and
before being released by miners this
morning Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson almost
froze.

Wish Ke Sun, a subchief of the Cree
Indians of Montana. has just been Gre
mated with royal pomp near Timbered
Butte, short distance from here, by
the members of a large band that has
been camping between this city and
Butte. The Indian had been ill for a
long time. and passed away two days
ago, leaving personal belongings that
no one cared to claim, as it was fear
ed he had died of contagious dis
ease.
In small ravine at the west end Of
Timbered Butte the funeral pyre was
erected of logs and brush. On top of
it the body OF the Indian was placed.
wrapped in his gaudiest blanket.
Around him were piled all his belong
ings and pet dog. The fire was
lighted and the ceremonies were be-
gun. AS the flames ate their way into
the pyre the bucks and the squaws of
the band began their dance. Joining
hands they circled round and round
the altar of flame, shouting the death
song of the red man. After the body
had been consumed and the fire had
died away the ashes were thrown to
the winds.

elk teeth has been made by E. Il
Hutchinson, prospector of Cooke
city. Hutchinson came upon the cache
of teeth by accident While crossing a
deep canyon, which is yet covered with

elk heads, old and weather stained,
which evidently had been dragged to
that place from a distance. They
were half hidden under ledge, and
then covered with brush.
- Among the heads, all of them old,
were those of several female elk, which
are not supposed to contain teeth such
as are worn on watch chains as
charms. Yet. in each OF these heads
were the two big teeth such as are
always found in the head of the male
elk. Hutchinson removed all the teeth
from the heads, securing SO in all.
They have been pronounced worth on
an average $25 a pair. 1t is believed
that one of the soldiers in the park,

dent Portions of the clothing had
been torn into shreds. and the position
in which the skeleton lay showed the
man had died in agony and horror at
his surroundings, with full knowledge
that escape was impossible.
Doubt is cast on the Identification
through the fact that KretZ's hair was
brown, while that of the dead mans
clinging to the skeleton is streaked
with gray. IT is thought, however, that
the terror of the situation may have
caused the victims hair to whiten.
Kretz had a claim twenty miles from
Ely in Northeastern Minnesota, and he
disappeared last September. Although
a diligent search for him was made he
could not be located. 1t was presumed
that he had gone to some other part of
the country.
The search was redoubled on account
of the mental worry which was caused
to his mother, Mrs. Theodore Kretz,
who lived on farm several miles from
Elroy Wis. She grieved over her sons
disappearance until her mind finally
gave way under the strain and she has
never fully recovered from the shock.
A further attempt at Identification Of
the skeleton will be made.

plication to the pontiff. about whose
health and well being millions of per-
sons have been depply solicitous and
whose good acts have been recorded in
all lands.
His love of justice, simple dignity

pontiff to the Catholic world. who de-
light to pay tribute to the statesman

cause they believe in dreams. William
Hyde and his son Frank, of this place,
are in fair way to be placed in the
ranks of rich men, of whom there are
many in the mining regions of the
West. Dreams have put them on the
track of rich deposits of coal, and once
they find the main body, which they
believe is near at hand, their fortune
is made.
Two years ago Mr.. Hyde and his
son both dreamed that vast deposits
of coal were located in certain place
on Granite creek, between this place
and Race Track. No one ever found
coal there, but in their dreams they
saw the great beds plainly. Yesterday,
when they arose they compared notes,
and found that once moro had they
dreamed of coal along the creek, and
each one described the surroundings
of the place in which the beds had
been found.
During the day they made a trip to
the creek. and found in reality many
of the things they had seen in their
dreams. Half an hours work laid bare
several small veins of good coal. The
men came into the city last night,
and today again started for their dig
gings, where they expect to uncover a
big bed before nightfall.
