THE TONOPAH
STRIKE
LATER NEWS CONFIRMS THE
REPORT
It Looks Like the Biggest
Ledge Uncovered.

A number of kilograms were re-
ceived in this city yesterday rela-
tive to the strike in the Belmont-To-
nopah mine at TonOpah. From what
was given out by the parties receiving
the word, it even looks better than the
first reports that came in. There is
no question that one Of the richest
lodges that has yet been uncovered
has been shown up, and its effect in
this city carried considerable excite
ment.
Wills Brougher. one Of the heaviest
holders in this claim wears a broad
smile. When asked regarding the
strike, he, in his quiet way, stated
that he believes that the reports arc
true and that when the full word Is
received that it will excel the most
flattering reports yet received. He
has always had great amount ci
faith in the ground. while the camp
he regards as the greatest the world
has ever seen. Mr.. Brougher has op
enly stated hundreds of times tha'
the wealth of Tonopah was not ye
known, that he believes that greater
I finds wiuld be made than that of the
first excitement. and his words arr
| coming true in every sense.
Others who are interested are G
the same opinion. Tom McCabe, thu
Assemblyman from Nye, was asked
what he thought of the strike h
like Mr.. Brougher. was not surprised
and he further stated that in his opin
ion that this woul dead to other AM
just as important strikes. In his or
inion the recent strike only helps t
show the trend of the great ledg
and he believes that other claims i
the same neighborhood will 500
come into the same good fortune.
The late strike will start anOthe
rush towards the camp and shOul
any more strikes of like nature o.
cur, there is no telling where Tonopa
will land. She is in the lead toda
and bids fair to outstrip the world

BRINGS CHARGES
AGAINST POLICE
KANSAS CITY OFFICERS ACCUS.
ED OF CORRUPTION IN OF.
FlcE AND GRATING.

Kansas City, Mo-, March TO-
Charges Of official corruption in the
police department, involving Chief
John Hayes, Detective Charles P.
Sanderson and Officers McAnany and
Sullivan, made by Jailer Robert Tod
hunter, were filed today with the
board of police commissioners. An
investigation will follow.
Jailer Todhunter alleges that De-
tective Sanderson had accepted a
weekly payment from a gambler who
was granted immunity from arrest;
that a report of this fact was filed
with Chief Hayes and was suppress
ed by that official; that officers Nc
Anany and Sullivan made an agree
ment to release two c~lairvoyants upon
payment of $125, and that Officer Sui
livan had offered Todhunter money
to suppress knowledge of some Of
these dealings.
Todhunter's statement also asserts
that lawyers were permitted to enter
the holdover in the city Jail, where
they secured money and valuables
from prisoners upon promise of i'm
munity, discharges and reduction of
sentences, which practices, Todhunter
alleges, were done with the knowl-
edge, consent and co%nnivance of the
chief of police"
Chief Hayes fatty denies all
charges made against him and his
department.

PECULIAR HORSE DISEASE.
Strange MaIady Affects Range AMI

From Miles City m the report
of the annual appearance of a horse
disease peculiar to the animals that
are ranged in the southeastern part of
Custer county. For want of a better
name it is known as the "trembles"
because of the nj in which it af-
fects the animals. The malady as
ear as can be learned is peculiar to
that part of the state and only horses
that are permitted to run on the
range are affected, those being kept
IN the stables never manifesting any
Of its symptoms.
AS yet the nature of the disease or
its cause are unknown, although some
Investigations into both have been
made by the state veterinarian. All
that is known concerning it is that
it is caused by something eaten by
the animals of a particular district,

State Finds Itself Unable to Sell
Section 36.

State Finds Itself Unable to Sell
Section So.
From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
No better success attended the Sec
ond attempt made yesterday afternoon
to sell section So of township 1 south.
range "a east, than was met with
when the land was offered the first
time, earlier in the day. Several
men were present who wanted all
or a portion of the section, but none
would make an offer even approximate
ing the value placed upon the land by
the appraisers. Offers by Mr.. Long
to lease it were also declined, for the
same reason.
AS previously reported, the state
has fixed a value of $25 an acre for a
part of the section and $21 for the
balance, figures that are considered
excessive by those familiar with the
land. While much of it is really good,
considerable of it is not and SO an
acre is regarded as a fair price for the
bulk of it. A feature that detracts
from the value of the whole is the alb
sence of a water right although the
land is situated where it may be ir-
rigated, provided water can be secur-
ed from the ditch company. Then
the valuation placed on the improve
ments, $1,000, is also considered as
too high.
In the matter of rental the agents
of the state seemed to be possessed of
an. erroneous idea also. For the whole
section 1858 a year is demanded, in
addition to which the lessee must buy
the improvements and take chances
on getting water. MI. Long said he
was prepared to receive proposals for
leasing individual sections, but receiv-
ed no offers, as the rental asked was
more than anybody seemed prepared
to pay-$250, each, a year for two Of
the quarters, $24O for another and
$218 for the remaining one.
After vainly trying to sell or lease
the land or portions of it, Mr.. Long
returned to Helena and it is probable
that another appraisement will be
made.

MONUMENT TO BEIDLER.
Pioneers Perpetuate Name Of Their
Most Famous Member

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
In the city of Helena, April 2, the
Montana Society of Pioneers will dedi-
cate a monument to the memory of
John X. Beidler, whose remains rest
III one of the cemeteries there. Con-
spiculous among the orators of the
occasion will be Colonel A. G.. Nc
Clure, for more than a quarter of a
century past editor of the Philadel-
phia Times. In his boyhood days
Colonel Mcclure was an intimate
friend and associate of Beidler.
John X. Biedler was a native of
Mount Airy, Pa. He came to the
Rocky Mountain region with the
early adventures attracted hither by
the gold excitement. He was a con-
spicuous figure during the vigilante
days in Alder gulch and other parts of
Montana. and was a vigorous advocate
OF law and order at all times. Up to
the time of his death, which occurred
in 1890, there was no man in the
state better known or more highly re-
spected than Beidler, the man who
led the vigilantes during the stirring
times that marked the first settle
ment of the mining camps of what is
now the state of Montana.
During the period preceding the adj
vent of the railroad Beidler was es-
pecially we'll known in the Yellow
stone valley, where he served in the
capacity of deputy sheriff and deputy
United States marshal. His name
is indelibly woven into the fabric of
many of the thrilling tales to be told
Of the tragic events that mark the
earlier history of this part of the
state. 1t is we'll that his memory
should be perpetuated by a monument.
A truer friend of right and justice and
a more relentless foe to the evil-doer
never breathed the pure air of these
regions than he and in erecting a
shaft to him the pioneers of whom he
was n but give further proof of the
ruggedness of character and mighty
regard for law and order which en-
abled them to bring this erstwhile
wild and lawless territory within the
pale of decency and compel recogni
ton of the institutions that make fol-
the good of society and the preserva
ton of life and property.
