PULITZER is ARRESTED.
Wealthy New Yorker Must Answer
for Violating Game Law.

Several weeks ago the state news
papers contained accounts of the ar
rival in the northern part of Montana
of Ralph Pulitzer, son of the million
aire owner of the New York World,
who was on a hunting trip. After hav-
ing visited different localities, he had
a boat constructed and went down the
Missouri. Before leaving, however,
it seems he violated the state game
laws by killing a mountain sheep near
st. Mary's lake in Teton county. The
fact of the alleged unlawful killing
was given great publicity, but it was
believed the offender would not be
arrested, as it was understood he had
placed himself beyond the jurisdiction
of the state authorities. There was
some talk of e%xtradition proceedings,
but subsequently Game Warden Scott
learned that the young mar was likely
to again enter Montana, having made
arrangements to make a tour OF the
Yellowstone National park, entering it
from the west.
Mr.. Scott kept himself informed OF
Pulitzer's movements and arranged
matters accordingly. Learning ap-
proximately when the man would be
back, the warden decided to give him
a little surprise. Last Monday the
time had come to act and the warden
left Helena for Monida, at which point
Pulitzer entered the park. When he
arrived there he found that Pulitzer
had left his cook and camp outfit
there, while he and a friend were max
ing a tour of the park. Nothing fur
there remained but to await the mans
return. Wednesday he showed up
and was at once arrested by MI. Scott.
The same night, with his prisoner in
charge, the warden left for Teton
county, passing through Helena yes
terday. The distance between the
place of his arrest and where he will
have his hearing is about 600 miles,
making it somewhat of an experience
for the man, even though he should
not be convicted.
The penalty for the offense with
which Pulitzer is charged is quite
severe, being not more than one year
in the state p~enitentiary or not less
than three months in the county Jail,
or by a fine of not more than $500 and
not less than $500, OF by both fine
and Imprisonment.

NEWELL GIVES WARNING.
All Land Withdrawn May Not Be
Reclaimed.

The first annual report OF the arid
land reclamation service OF the geo.
logical survey, made by F. H. Newell,
who is in charge of it, has been COM
pleted and soon will be made public.
1t gives detailed information OF the
work to late for the establishment
of a system of irrigation under the di-
rection OF the national government. 1t
appears thai work has been carried
on in the different localities in the
various states and territories as fol-
lows:
On Salt and ella rivers in Arizona,
on Colorado river in California;; on
North Platt, Gunnison and Grand riv-
ers in Colorado; on Snake river in
Idaho; ON the deep well problems OF
western Kansas; on Milk river in
Montana; on the artesian we'll prob
abilities of western Nebraska; on Car
son and Truckee rivers in Nevada; on
the artesian probabilities OF central
Oregon; on Bear river in Utah; on
Yakima river in Washington; around
Lake De Smet and also on Sweetwater
river in Wyoming.
At each of these places where sys-
tematic work has been conducted pre-
liminary temporary Withdrawals OF
| public lands have been made, but the
areas which may be reclaimed are
indicated only in a general way by
these temporary segregations.
Commenting on the effect of these
| Withdrawals, the report says:
"The impossibility Of stating in ad'
| vance what lansd will ultimately be
| recommended for reclamation will re
suit in great disappointment to many
persons. The fact that the lands have
been temporarily set aside is, in the
eyes of many an indication that these
lands will be reclaimed; and although
every attempt has been made to warn
individuals of the futility Of filing
| upon these lands under the homestead
law, they persist in taking up the land
on the bare possibility that the sur
veys and examinations will ultimately
show it to be reclaimable. It is an
unfortunate condition, which apparent
ly cannot be corrected at present"

is GIVEN RELIEF.
Insect Removed from Ear Of Well
Known Lady.

After having borne almost unen.
durable pain in the head for several
months, particularly in the right ear,
Mrs. Orilla Whitney was given relief
last Wednesday in a remarkable a
ner. What she believed to be an abb
cess proved to be an insect that had
found it's way into her ear and caused
all her suffering.
Toward the latter port of June Mrs.
Whitney returned from a visit to
Arizona and California and soon after
ward began to feel pains in her head,
which continued to grow worse until
it seemed at times that she would lose
her reason. Especially intense was
the pain on the right side and in the
ear. When no longer able to endure
her suffering she called on Doctor
Rinehart last Wednesday, and after an
examination the doctor decided that
some foreign substance had found its
way into the lady's ear. The necessary
! operation was performed and resulted
in the removal of an insect about the
| size of a small bean. The intruder
was dark brown in color and had thick
yellow legs and was unlike ny insect
ever seen hereabouts. In the opin-
ion of the doctor, the bug entered the
ear when small, an opinion that is
shared by Mrs. Whitney, who believes
that it it found it's way into the ear
while she was in Arizona or California
and gradually worked it's way into the
place whence it was removed, well
behind the opening of the a%uricula1
passage.

SUSPECT is RELEASED.
Gamble Proves Not the Man Wanted
at Livingston.

at Livingston.
Wednesday morning Under Sheriff
Beller and John H. Martin arrived
from Livingston for the purpose OF
taking a look at the man arrested
last Tuesday on a description sent to
the police and sheriff of a forger, who
succeeded in making quite a raise in
the Park county capital on spurious
checks. Mr.. Martin, who is a BUSH
ness man, is one of those victimized
by the forger, whose name is said to
be Rooney and who was employed in
that locality. He studied the sus-
pect a long time before he was able
to arrive at a conclusion, but finally
decided that the prisoner was not
Rooney, although the resemblance he
bore to the other man was so strong
as to make it difficult for him to fully
make up his mind.
The man under arrest gave his name
as Gamble and in support showed a
working caro- and also a withdrawal
| card of the East Helena Smeltermen's
union. In addition he also had sew
eral letters bearing that address. He
admitted that he had been at Living
| ston, having worked for a few weeks
on Shields river.
Chief of Police Morse, who assisted
in making the arrest, is of the opin-
ion that Notwithstanding the failure OF
Martin to identify the man as the one
who committed the forgeries, the real
culprit was before him, as the prls'
oner seemed to be exceptionally ia.

IN II TOLLS A
"Loneson1e Joe" Arrested After Highly
Sensational Escape.

Yesterday morning Sheriff Potter
of Carbon county passed through the
city with Lew Wallace, better known
as Lonesome Joe," whom he had
in charge and was taking to Red
Lodge ito stand trial. Wallace is ONE
what of a notorious parsonage in Car
bon county and is regarded by many
as being decidedly a hard formation.
He was one of the men who robbed the
Bridger bank and saved himself from
going to the penitentiary by turning
states evidence, after he began to be-
lieve that another Of the gang in
tended to do the same thing. For his
reward as a traitor he was discharged
at the conclusion of the trial.
Recently Wallace made a pretense
of earning a livelihood in an honest
manner and went to work on a ranch
near Meeteetse, his employer being
James Virgue, a former resident OF
Red Lodge. He was discharged and
left Meetettse, headed for his old
haunts in Carbon county. Before
leaving, it is alleged, he stole a horse
from a Meeteetse man and then rode
to Cody. Near there it is charged that
he stole a rifle, a revolver, a pair OF
trousers and some other things from
a ranch house. Thus equipped, he
finally arrived neal Red Lodge and
his presence soon became known to
the authorities. Under Sheriff Gebo
and Stock Inspector Dunn took the
trail and located Wallace at the
ranch OF Dick Sullivan, a few miles
from Red Lodge.
The officers stole up on Lonesome"
and found him in the brush sharpen
ing a knife. He was arrested with
out trouble and Dunn left him in the
custody of Gebo, while he went to
where they had a team waiting. AT
ter Dunn had gone, Wallace, who is a
confirmed morphine user, said he
wanted to take a shot and the under
sheriff accompanied him to the house
Wallace stepped into the kitchen and
then out of a door and was not seer
again by the two officers, although
they made a long search for him
Subsequently it was learned from q
rancher to whom Lonesome" ap
pealed for food, that after leaving the
house he had doubled on his track ant
then hid near the corral, from where
he watched the two officers looking
for him.
All this occurred last Monday. Or
Tuesday Sheriff Potter returned from
the western end of the state and a
once began a still hunt for the fugi
tive. Wednesday he found him abou
rs miles northwest of Columbus, an
"Joe" is once more back in the quar-
tiers he occupied last winter after thu
bank robbery.

While, as before stated, the correct

it possible to collect the figures show

industry has assumed in the state, as
the returns from Broadwater will not
make any material change in the to-
tails, if they make the slightest differ
ence in the aggregate.
