Chicago Story of Montana Girls EIope-
ment with chinaman.

Last Fridays Chicago Chronicle
contains a story of an alleged elope-
ment of Bozeman girl and China.
man that is regarded hereabouts as
strongly suggestive of being the ema-
nation of newsgatherer whose imagi-
nation is of that kind that contributes
the strongest recommendation possible
of an applicant for position on the
staff of the string OF newspapers main
tanned by certain aspirant for the
democratic nomination for president.
There may be foundation of fact
to the story, but it is believed that
instead of a Montana girl, The young
woman who is said TO have married
the Mongolian is from some other
state.
Inquiry of those well acquainted at
Bozeman and the surrounding region
failed to find any one who knew either
BENJAMIN d. Hoyt or Tie Bar-H rancn.
Neither one seems TO have any exist
ence, at least not anywhere near Boze-
man.
The Chronicles story follows:
While her uncle was searching San
Francisco for her, Miss Bobb Clarke
Hoyt of Bozeman, Mont, outwitted her
relative by coming east instead of 60
ing west, when she put her plans for
an elopement into effect.
The plans for the secret marriage
were made a year ago, and she IS
now the wife of John Wing Lee. a
| naturalized Chinaman, who was for
merly an employe OF her uncle, Ben
| jamin D. Hoyt, owner Of the Barb
ranch. They have just been married
| by Justice Cochrane, and are now on
| their way to Niagara Falls for a
honeymoon trip.
The father OF the bridegroom was at
one time cook in the Hoyt household,
and it was while the son was on a
visit to his father from LELAND Stan
! ford university, where he was stu
dent, that he met Miss Hoyt.

AN UGLY CHARGE.
Local Interest Attaches to Telegram
from Omaha.

Local Interest Attaches to Telegram
from Omaha.
1t will undoubtedly surprise the
gentleman's many friends hereabouts
to learn that Senator Dietrich OF Ne
braska is to be made the subject OF
a federal grand jury Investigation, or
rather that some acts imputed to
him are to be investigated by United
States inquisitorial body.
A federal grand jury convened at
Omaha yesterday and a speclal dis.
patch to the Minneapolis Journal
under Saturdays date states that it
will look into charges made against
the senator that he has been tratlck-
ing in postoffice appointments. For
the last three months, continues the
telegram, ugly rumors have been IN
circulation that Dietrich had sold sold
the appointment to the Hastings, Neb.,
postoffice, as we'll as others. 1t is
also said that the matter was called
to the attention of the last United
States grand jury, but was laid over
until the next meeting. =
The specific allegation that was to
be investigated by the jury was that
the senator put the postmastership
in the city of Hastings up at auction
and disposed of it to the highest DID
der, one Jacob Fisher, for Sl,5OO.
1t is added in the dispatch that the
senator had been been at Hastings
Friday night, but had refused to be
interviewed on the matter.

INVESTIGATION BY GEOLOGICAL
SURVEY is ORDERED.
A LONG CANAL If BUILT
Ditch to Water Tract Would Have Its
Head at Point Near
Livingston.

The Billings, Mont, commercial
committee has called the attention OF
the United States geological survey
to what is locally known as the Lake
Basin country" on the north side of
the Yellowstone river, in Yellowstone
and Sweet Grass counties, says a
Washington dispatch. 1t is claimed
that within the area is tract of land
comprising something like 100000
acres Of rolling upland, all lying with
in radius of SO miles of Billings,
and none of it more than 80 miles from
the main line of the Northern Pacific
railroad.
The soil is described as being SINH
lar to the upland soil in what is known
as the Big Ditch, in the Yellowstone
valley, which, from the year of its
reclamation up to the present time,
has averaged an annual production
far in excess OF the original cost OF
the entire ditch.
These rolling prairies, with grad
ual slope to the Yellowstone, insure
a perfect natural drainage and facili-
tate the distribution of water at the
minimum of labor and expense.
Good for Farming.
The climatic conditions OF this Sec
tion are described as being more fav-
orable to diversified farming than
probably that of any other locality OF
similar size in the state. The Yellow
stone river at this point carries some
thing like 100000 miners inches. The
annual gaugings of this stream extend
ing over a period of several years,
fdil to show any appreciable falling
off in the mean volume of water car
| ried.
The 1880 feet contour pass through
| the highest part OF the main body OF
| the land which it is proposed to re-
claim, necessitating the tapping of the
stream in the vicinity OF Livingston,
at which point an elevation of 4,650
feet is attained, in order to give the
necessary fall The natural conal-
tions are believed to be favorable to
| the construction OF substantial intake
and headgates at this point.
The fact that unimproved land in
| this vicinity, with water right, is
readily taken at $25 per acre, and
| land fenced and under cultivation,
or seeded to alfalfa, sells readily at
| $50 per acre, warrants the belief that
no delay would be experienced in
settling this entire tract with actual
permanent home seekers.
The engineers of the United States
geological survey are giving the mat
| ter careful consideration, and an in
vestigation Of the tract has been or
| dered.

ALLEGED HoRsETHIEF.
Robert Mickenheim Charged with
Stealing James Boyd's Colts.

Robert Mickenheim Charged with
Stealing James Boyd's Colts.
Robert Mickenheim, who is charged
by James Boyd with the larceny OF
two colts, was arraigned before JUS
tice Mann yesterday. He entered a
plea of not guilty and his examination
was set for November 20. Micken,
helm was arrested in Carbon county
last week and brought TO Billings for
trial. The animals he is alleged to
have stolen were taken from their
range in this county.
The prisoner, for he mas been un-
able to give bonds, is said to have
been implicated in the wholesale lar
ceny of horses that we're stolen dur
ing the summer from e. M. Hunger
ford, Boyd and several other parties.
Floodey Howe is another wno is said
to be member of the gang. He was
arrested and tried here for driving
horses from their accustomed range.
A jury was demanded and he was ac-
quilted, some of the jurors contend
ing that the testimony OF one OF the
witnesses for the state was indicative
of desire to persecute the man. AS
soon as he was released he was re-
arrested on warrant issued in Carbon
county and taken to Red Lodge. There
he was tried again, the same charge
being preferred against him in that
county as the one on which he had
been tried in this. This time jury
convicted him and lie is now serving
a sentence in the Red Lodge Jail.
At the time of Howe's second arrest
man who gave his name as Hans
Nelson was also arrested. He had
been s,abpoenaed to testify for the
state. Enough cropped out during the
hearing of Howe to warrant the ap-
prehension of Nelson and he was
placed in Jail with Howe. Both were
held here a rev days and then taken
to Red Lodge. After Howe's trial
there Nelson was tried and he, too,
was found guilty and is now keeping
his friend company.
It is more than likely that when they
serve their present sentences the two
will be arrested again, as it is said
that new evidence has been secured
which makes it clear that at least one
of them can be convicted on lhe more
serious charge OF grand larceny.

WRECK NARROWLY AvERTED.
Timely Discovery Made by Northern
Pacific Yardman.

Timely discovery of misplaced
switch and the fortunate delay of a
train undoubtedly prevented serious
wreck in the local yards of the North
ern Pacific last Friday night.
No. 4, the Twin City express, due
here from the west at 11:1O p. M,
was somewhat behind time and short
ly before it's arrival one of the yard
men passed through the yards and
observed that the light on one of the
switch targets was out. He made
an investigation as to the cause and
was surprised more wnen he found
that the switch was open. He closed
the switch and soon thereafter the
train came laundering into the station.
The switch that evidently had been
tampered with is situated we'll toward
the western end of the yaras, point
at which incoming trains still run at
a high rate of speed, and but for the
yardman's discovery wreck would
undoubtedly have occurred.
Information was given the police OF
the occurrence and they made search
of the yards. Not far from the switch
man was found in boxcar. He
gave his name as Henry Harvey and
said he was compelled to occupy the
car, having no money and no place
where he could sleep He denied all
knowledge of the open switch, say.
ing he had nothing to do with it and
had not paid any attention to that or
any other switch. AS he admitted
that he was without means and had
been found trespassing on the com
pany's property, he was arrested and
locked UP, a charge of vagrancy being
preferred against him. Saturday
morning he was arraigned in police
court AS no evidence Of his connec
tion with the misplaced switch was
obtainable. he was discharged and
given time in which to leave the city
he promising to go at once, saying he
was laboring man in search OF work

Alleged Basin Lynchers Not Concern
ed Over Outcome.

Alleged Basin Lynchers Not Concern
ed Over Outcome.
When the dispatches sent out from
Basin stating that a grand jury had
indicted number of citizens OF Big
Horn county for complicityin the lynch
ing of Walters and German and the
killing of deputy sheriff and the
wounding Of another, many believed
that attempts to arrest the men under
Indictment would be followed by more
bloodshed, as 1t was regarded as very
unlikely that they would submit to
service of warrants without making
resistance. This belief seems to have
been without cause. Although the
mob was much larger, apparently only
eight or nine were indicted. At least
only eight warrants were issued and
seven or the men named in them are
in custody.
The last copy of the Big Horn Rus
tier, published at Basin, to be receiv-
ed contains an interesting account
OF the men held ana their apparent
Indifference. Instead or resisting ar
rest, all voluntarily surrenuered them
selves as soon as they learned war
rants were out for them. At the time
the Rustler was published one OF the
men believed to have been indicted
was out of the state, but sent word
that he would return and give himself
up to the sheriff. Another man,
named Fender, against whom it is
known bill was found, left the state
almost Immediately after court con-
vened. OF him the Rustler says:
HE it is who is supposed to have
flunked after joining the gang and
begged to be allowed to return. He
was forced, so it is claimed, to ac-
company them against his will, and
fearing that he would become in
volved, fled the state
One of the indicted men is Ralph
Mercer, whose father was formerly
editor of the Stockgrowers' Journal,
published at Cheyenne. Tne elder
Mercer's course in connection with
the johnson county raid, the culmi-
nation Of the war between the stock
men and "rustlers," caused him to
gain a great deal of nOtoriety and is
said to have been the means OF his
withdrawal from newspaper work
Teancum Taylor, another, is Nor.
mon who lives on Shell creek and is
said to have harbored the mob tor
two days prior to it's descent upon the
Jail. Dan Lee Morse is accused OF
being one of two of the lynchers who
are said to be responsible for the &C
| tual killing of the deputy sheriff and
the wounding OF his companion.
No trouble has been experienced
in apprehending those arrested thus
far, says the Rustler, on the other
hand as soon as the rumor has reach
ed them that warrants would probably
be served upon them, instead OF wait
ing for the process of law they came
to Basin and gave themselves up
Those involved seem less exercised
over the matter than parties who have
not become connected, many of the
latter expressing themselves uissatis
fed because of the expense attendant
upon prosecution.
