Members Of the society will recall
the fact that previously Mr.. Whitney
presented to the geological park two

has specially contributed to the buff

rival of the splendid contribution
from October mountain, the herd will
stand, for all the time thereafter, as
Mr.. Whitney's gift.
In this connection, it is a pleasure
to call attention to the fact that the
entire herd of red deer, and also that
of fallow deer-both of which are in
most satisfactory condition-have
come to the society as the gift of
William Rockefeller.
It is particularly gratifying that
two of the finest species of North

the elk-should henceforth be so per-

park as Mr.. Whitney's generous gift

THIEVES MAKE BIG HAUL
l. r. A,drioh Is Robbed Of Nearly Twelve
Hundred Dollars In Hotel
1t Benson.

1t Benson.
One of the boldest robberies that
was ever perpetrated in Benson was
carried out last Saturday night or
early Sunday morning. While L. R.
Aldrich was making preparations to
meet the early morning train some one
entered his room and pocketed nearly
twelve hundred dollars in gold and
silver. The thieves opened the door
by means Of q skeleton key, and then
forced the drawer open that contained
the money. From the way the job was
done it seems very likely that they
had found out In some way that there
was money in the room and it's loo alton
was not q matter OF guess work.
The evening before three men reg.
istered at the hotel and mys-
teriously disappeared that same
night. These parties are suspected
of being the robbers, but where
they went to or where they are
now Is q question that is hard to
answer. One of the trio came into the
Office about train time, and was soon
engaged in conversation with Mr..
Aldrich and with his unceasing flow OF
language succeeded in keeping the
victim of his pals from going back to
his room. 1t is now thought that the
other two men were looking for the
money about that time, and this fellow
was sent to the Office as q sort of decoy
and to give an alarm II things did not
seem perfectly clear. As the entire
amount was in cash it will be almost
impossible to get any track of the
criminals, which is certainly too bad,
for they should be sent to the peni-
