The Colby second team came here,
last Saturday afternoon, and played the
Skowhegan town team in one of the
snappiest games ever played in this
place. Skowhegan showed up strong at
times but lacked the team work which
was evident with the visitors, the latter
having six of the regular varsity men on
their team. There were times when
Skowhegan braced ald held Colby and
there were times when Skowhegan got
into the scrmmage and sent Colby back
in her shoes for losses. 1t is expected
that Skowhegan will next year have a
team that will try the strength, nerve
and patience of some of the bigger teams

Missoula, Mont. May 22.-Sheriff
Thompson received a message last
evening from Deputy Sheriff Watson,
sent from Hope, Idaho, informing the
sheriff that he and other members Of
the searching party had traversed
Clarkes Fork river all the way from
Eddy, a small station above Thomp-
son, to Hope, Idaho, where the river
empties into Pen d'Oreille lake, and
had found no signs Of County Assess
or Paul Wagnitz. They discovered
the body of a calf floating In the riv.
er and Deputy Watson states that In
his belief that was the object which
the freight train crew saw in the wa
ter near Noxon.
Will Cave. who has been In the
west end Of the county for the past
two weeks, making a thorough search
into all of the rumors afioat and look
ing up every possible clew, arrived
home yesterday. He states that In his
hlHh NabbftL was tilutl muiutis VI
or became mentally unbalanced and
suicide or skipped the
country. All theories as to accidents
have been run down by Mr.. Cave, and
he states that there is no possible
show, he believes, for the missing man
to have met his death by an acci-
dent.
He learned that Wagnitz had told
a friend at Plains shortly before he
boarded a passenger train there on
the evening Of April cath. that he was
going TO Heron and then work back
towards Thompson. The train that
night did not arrive at Heron until
midnight, and his theory Is that II
Wagnitz did go TO Heron, as he stated
was in his intention, that when he
got or here in the middle OF the night
he was murdered.
All search for the missing man has
now been abandoned, and unless at
some future time his body should be
found floating in the river or some
clew discovered, nothing will be e.
known what became OF Paul Wagnitz,
unless the driver, who told his pecu-
liar story 10 Fred Butte at Heron last
Sunday. should be located and some
thing ascertalned from him.

New York Officer in Butte Searching
for Rosseau, Suspected Of Be-

Butte, May 2l.-The startling an.
nouncement was made this afternoon
by the police that almost beyond a
doubt il is believed that the terrible
plot which had for its object the de-
struction OF the Cunard liner Umbria
and its 700 souls. was Matched in
Butte. Rosseau. the anarchist, who
is suspected OF the dastardly deed,
is thought to be in hiding somewhere
in the many dens Of criminals and
thugs in this city. and Detective Ar.

Inspector McCloskey, at New York
City, is now in Butte searching for
him. That officer arrived this morn.

It has been definitely a~scertained
that the dry batteries used in the in.
fernal machine. by which II was plan
ned to furnish a spark to the cigar
lighter, exploding 100 pounds OF dyna-
mite and sending the Umbria to the
bottom. was purchased OF the Montana
Electric company on April 4th, last,
by a man who very closely answers
the description given OF RRosseau.
The mysterious strangers actions
were very nervous. He had black hair
and dark eyes. His walk is also de.
scribed as being queer and his chest
protruded.
When the purchase Of the batter.
les was made II was noticed that the
stranger placed the electric applian-
ces in a box In which was a cigar
lighter. The act seemed so odd as
to be remarked upon. This cigar light
er, according to the officers, perfectly
answered the description OF the one
found in the internal machine.
The batteries are OF a peculiar type.
OF which five are made at the present
time. BY writing to the company
making them, Inspector McCloskey's
men found each firm TO whom such
batteries had been sold. These were
few. as the batteries are large and OF
an of size. The Montana Electric
company was one OF the firms which
had bought such batteries.
The trunk In which reposed the in.
fernal machine also bore marks tend,

Butte.
Chief of Police Reynolds would not
discuss the startling disclosure in de-
tail, except to affirm that there was
no doubt as TO the identity Of the dry
batteries found in the Internal ma
chine.
The Internal machine consisted OF
two batteries. a clock attachment and
a cigar lighter. At a certain time the
batteries would ignite the cigar light.

100 pounds of dynamite in the trunk.

Barn That GroWs.

Meagher County Republican: The
following is a pretty good story but
sounds a little large. A farmer down
the valley had a novel experience.
A few years ago he built a small barn,
and in its construction used green
cottonwood posts at the corners and
along the sides. For some time moth
ing unusual was noticed, but after a
year he saw that whereas, he had
laid the floor lei the ground, 1t was
three feet above the soil. He discov-
cred that the cottonwood posts, in
stead of being dead were alive, had
taken root and were growing. In their
upward movement they had carried
the barn along. Last spring the barn
vas on stills nine feet high and he
put in a new floor and surrounded
the posts with siding, thereby making
a two-story affair. There is now a
space of seven inches between the
new floor and the ground and the
owner expects to have a ~three-story
barn in the course of time.

This is a particularly fitting mark
Of respect to the young M~ontanian,

onel Of the regiment.
After the First Montana volunteers
retired from active service Lieutenant
Colonel Wallace was made colonel Of
the Thirty-S Seventh United States vol
unteers, which he recruited and Or
ganized in the Philippines. This reg
iment had much active service. AZ
ter a number of campaigns, Colonel
Wallace was compelled to return to
the United States on sick leave. He
had been shot through the body and
while the surgeons advised him long

OF mind of the ~townspeople Of Kis-
hineff, ~Bessarabia, while they we're
killing Jews these about q munth ago
Is described In a letter from a non
Jewish German Of Odessa, received by
the relief committee here. He said;
The leaders Of the bands. on enter,
ing q Jewish dwelling, often address,
ed the occupants good-natured'y, say
ing, Poor brethren, we must kill
you. It is so ordered"
The monstrous things were not done
until robbers began to appear and
when they, with Christian z%ealots, be-
came intoxicated.
The terror of the Jews at Kishineff,
the letter adds, continues. A fresh
massacre is expected there and the
Jews OF Odessa and OF all large towns
OF Bessarabia are living In hourly
dread of death. The whole province
seems to be in a state Of fanatical
fury against the Jews. The writer of
the letter then says:
THE excitement is intensified
through proclamations distributed In
the streets and by the tone OF the
bitterly anti Semitic newspapers. Rus

Grant countrymen who urge keeping
peace, 1T is the Cars will that the

become all the worse since the impor-

vented by censorship from freely ex-
pressing their opinions. Their be-
havior, almost without exception, has
been excellent. Unless the st. Pet

HOT REPLY
TO CASSINI
Pennsylvania Judge Simply Excoriates
Russian Minister for Recent
Utterances.
CAUSE OF JEWISH MASSACRE
Russian Mobiles With Depleted Treas
uries Loot for Their Own
Personal Gain.

Philadelphia, May 21.-Meyer Sulz-
berger, a member of the Pennsylvania
judiciary, today in a statement to the
Associated Press, replied to the asser-
lions of Count Cassini, the Russian
ambassador that the troubles in Kis-
hineff are due to an uprising Of peas
ants against the money lenders. Judge
Sulzberger said:
Count Cassini is confronted with
the fact that there have been rapes
and murders Of women, horrible cruel.
ty to babies and murders of unoffend-
ing men committed. His first instinct
is to excuse the criminals and throw
the blame on the victims. A man
with that attitude of mind is not to
be argued with. His real conviction,
OF course, Is that the common people
have no rights, and that what happens
to them is a matter OF supreme in
difference, since there are so many
of them that he car easily spare a
few thousand. It was the attitude of
the French mobiles before the revolu-
ton, and that 1t must be shared by
a great many Of his fellow mobiles
is proved by the fact that while all
this massacre was occurring in Kis-
hineh and went on three days, five
Russian regiments were q%uartered In
the town. II is therefore certain that
the police and military departments
permitted the massacre and are re.
sponsible for 1t. Their responsibility
is now assumed and shared by all
people who think with Count Cassini.
AS regards his private remarks It Is
enough to say:
"First-That the great bulk Of Jews
in Russia are the poorest people In
the world and have no money to
lend.
"Second-That babies do not lend
money.
"Third-That m~urderous criminals
are not usually borrowers.
ION the other hand there have been
known officials in lives of luxury
and debauchery who were in need of
many thousands of roubles, to whose
depleted pockets the proceeds of loot
and the price of protection might
bring a new lease of revelry. No
doubt, in the usual relations of life
the count is q gentleman in his man.
