DESTRUCTIVE FOREST
FIRES PREVENTED
Z here Are on Reserve Twelve
Rangers and Five Patrol
Men vigiIant.
SEVERAL BLAZES STARTED
rhe Record is Remarkable One fo!
the Past Months of Dry Weather.
Shows Are Not Protection From
Forest Fires.

Deadwood, S. D., Nov 3.-There has
not been any destructive fires on the
Black Hills forest reserve this year
Notwithstanding the exceedingly dry
weather of the last two months. There
are on the reserve twelve forest rang
iers and five fire patrolmen, and to the
Exceeding vigilance they exercise is due
the minimum of fires.
/ Several small fires have started, but
have been checked in time to prevent
any great loss to timber. Heretofore
the ranger force has been decreased
!early in the fall, as the department ev-
idently considered that this reserve
like other western reserves, was given
enough protection against fires by the
isnows of September, October and later
months. 1t has finally become recog-
inized that October and November are
really the most dangerous months fol
fires in the Black Hills, as this is the
period when there is the least moisture
= Seth Bullock, forest superintendent
2 in speaking Of the success his rangers
had met in combating fires this year
says he has found that he could win In
fighting fires by getting there first with
the most men.
The pine beetle that appeared in the
Black Hills forest several years agc
has practically disappeared. 1t Is be-
lieved to have been eXterminated by
another bug.

WooED HIS CLIENT.
Young Sioux Falls Attorney Weds a
Famous Woman,

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. Sin the
marriage OF Wallace d. Scott of Sioux
Falls and Blanche Chesebrough of New
York, in Chicago, is consumnlated the
unadulterated romance of lawyer ard
his client.
Mr.. Scott never saw the New York
woman until as MS. Molineux she
came to his firm to obtain divorce for
her. Mrs. Molineux had never heard
of Mr.. Scott and went to Sioux Falls
with no intention of immediate remar
riage, anticipating a dreary sojourn.
United States Senator A. B. Kit
tredge, head of the firm Of Kittredge,
Winans & Scott, is busy man. When
Mrs. MolineuX's case came to the firm
1t was turned over to MIR. Scott. The
young attorney was impressed by the
strillingly attired, handsome woman,
when he first saw her Mr.. Scott had
been finding many accomplished wom-
en- in the Sioux Falls divorce colony
and had become quite popular with
them. He was in a way predisposed.
It was but natural that he should need
frequent conferences with Mrs. Mol
ineux concerning her case, and it was
equally natural that the lonely woman
should be entertained by the young
man, who might be termed leader Of
the Sioux Falls social set. After a time
he could make no longer the excuse
Of seeing his client On legal business
and the two were frequently seen to-
gether. 1t became their habit to drive
along the scenic roads about Sioux
Falls.
About this time the construction of a
handsome residence on Mr.. Scott's
property in Sioux Falls was begun. AS
it became more and more evident that
it was an expensive mansion, comment
became more suspicious. Mrs. Molin-
eux, it was learned, had helped for
mulate the nl9nS and the hOuSe wa q
largely arranged in accordance with
her suggestions. The residence, must
have cost $4,000. Mr.. Scott is not con-
sidered to have much property and at
the time it was taken as certain evil
dence Of his marriage to the widely
heralded widow.
Mr.. Scott made two visits to New
York recently and his intimate friends
positively predicted the ceremony that
vas perfOrmed in Chicago Yesterday. :

DUE TO WHISKY.
j. II. Woodbury., Tribal Chief of Chip
pewas, in Sioux City Today, Dis
cusses Killing in Wyor1ina.

New Castle, Wyo., Nov 5.-Sheriff W.
H. Miller of Weston county, and one Of
his posse named Fosenburg are dead as
a result of a fight. with twelve wagon
loads of Sioux Indians, Saturday, three
miles below Beaver dam, on Lightning
creek, Converse county.
The Indians were from Pine Ridge
and Rosebud reservations in South
Dakota, and were violating the game
laws of the state. ~
The sherif's posse rounded UP the
redskins Saturday and demanded their
surrender.
The Sioux, who were from Pine Ridge
agency, opened fire and sharp fight
ensuod, in which Fossenhurg was in
stantly killed and Sheriff Miller NOR
tally wounded, dying half an hour
later. His body was taken to New Cas-
tlef by the remainder of the posse.
Members of the posse report that at
least six. Indians were killed and sew
eral wounded, among the latter being
Chief Eagle Feather who is being
brought here prisoner.
A new and larger posse started after
the Indians, who are in the country
surrounding the scene OF the first fight,
and another battle was expected if the
Indians again refused to surrender.
Joseph H Woodbury., whose Indian
name is Hole-!n- the-Day, tribal chief
of the Chippewa Indians, who is an
employe at the Pine Ridge Indian res
ervation agency, cannot understand
how the Wyoming killing by Indians
came about. Mr. Woodbury. is in Sioux
City today. He said:
1.-THE Indians who were guilty Of the
murders must have been Ogallalla
Sioux, for they came from Pine Ridge.
I presume the fight came about as the
result of whisky given the Indians
while on vacation. They probably
killed game and SO got into trouble
with the game Wardens. When the
officers tried to control them, they We're
excited by liquor and did some shoot
ing. The Ogallalla Sioux, while by ma
ture warlike, are now the most docile
Of any in the country, the finest In
dams, I would say" y

OHIO, REPUBLICAN,.

Columbus, o., Nov. 4.-More complete
returns today indicate a plurality for
Herrick, republican, over johnson,
democrat, for governor. Of over 125, 900,
but the rest of the republican ticket
will not have such large pluralities. The
republican majority on joint ballot in
the legislature, for the reelection of
Senator Hanna, is now placed at 95.
On account of the vote on five consti-
tutional amendments the counting was de-
layed all over Ohio last night, and when
returns were received they could not be
compared with those of any preceding
state election, as the seventy-one munici-
palties with 5000 population or over had
been redistricted under new municipal
code that went into effect this year and
changed the voting precincts in those re-
organized municipalities.
Cleveland, O., Nov. 4.-Complete re-
turns from Cuyahoga county, includ-
ing Cleveland, give Herrick republican,
Tor governor, 45,169; Johnson, demo-
crat, 36,649; Herricks majority is $500.
The victory of the republicans in the
city and county is the most decisive in
years, not single democrat being
elected

BIG WAR PREDICTED.
Navy Department Hears of Arrival OF
Nashville at Colon.

NAVY DGp T1SdFS OF Arrival OF
Nashville at Colon.
Washington Nov. 3.-The navy de-
partment received word today Of the
arrival of the Nashville at Colon last
night through a cablegram from her
captain, Commander Hubbard.
The department found it necessary to
conceal it's purpose in dispatching the
Nashville from Kingston to the 18TH
mus, and it was supposed she was pre-
vented from going to San Domingo be-
cause some of her machinery was out
of order. AS a matter of fact advices
received from the United States vice
consul at Panama more than a week
ago determined the state department
to have some representative Of the
United States navy in Ishmian waters.
There are other reasons in the Pan
ANA situation for this as reports com :
ing to the state department from Cen
trail American countries north of Col
Ombia reveal the existence of turbulent
and dangerous conditions
Only today a cablegram came from
one United States consul in Honduras
stating the people there are in a state
of excitement over the reported inten :
tion Of Nicaragua to attack Honduras.
Guatemalans also are in a state of un :
rest which is reflected in usually peace
full Costa Rica and officials here would
net be surprised to see something like
a general Central American war result
from present conditions.
1t is positively stated these move
ments on the part Of our navy are III
no way connected with the canal pro
ject and that there will be no attempt
to negotiate further with Colombia OF,
that subject until that government ad.
vances reasonable proposition.

MASSACHUSETTS,

Boston, Mass. Nov. 4.-With the ex-
ception of a falling off in the socialist
vote the election in Massachusetts yes
terday very nearly parallelled that Of
last year. Governor Bates is reelected
by the republicans by 35,S49 over Gas
ton in total vote only slightly under
that of 1902. All other republican can
didates for the state offices were also
elected. The lower branch of the legis-
lature shows republican gain Of two,
the senate remaining unchanged.
Boston, Nov. 4.-John L. Bates was re-
elected governor Of Massa chusetts by a
plurality of about $1,000 over Colonel VIM.
A. CASTOR, the democratic candidate With
a dozen cities and town to hear from
Bates had lead of 32,315 but as the
missing towns are all strongly republican,
there is every indication that the plurality
OF the republican candidate will be prac-
ucally the same as that CT last year, al
though the total vote may run higher
With returns complete from every town
and city in the state the total vote for
governor was:
Bates, republican, 1888; Castor, dem
Ocrat, 1G2 544.

gains in the remaining eighteen counties.

DOESN'T CARE A RAP
ABOUT THE PARTY
President Roosevelt Snaps His
Fingers at "Political and
Social Influences.
WRITES A POiNTEDLETTER
Tells Congressman That Every
Known Corrupt Official of the
Government Must Be Prose-
cuted and Vigorously.

Washoi9gtor, Nov. 5.-Albert Shaw,
editor of the Review of Reviews, has
made public a letter written by the
president to member of congress re-
garding the postal Investigation. Sup
plementing the presidents letter to
Postmaster General Payne regarding
General Bristow, the latest communi-
cation from the president proves be-
yond all question that regardless Of
political consequence the government
service is to be purged in all depart
Elents. The names used by the presi-
dent are left blank in the letter print
ed. In Washington these names are,
we'll known, but permission to use them
has been Withheld.
The letter to the member of congress
is thoroughly characteristic of the pres
ident. To understand it's full import it
should be explained that the person
whom it was sought to protect through
presidential influence was politician
In whom the president formerly had
great confidence. He was a supporter
of Roosevelt and man Of great inf1u-
ence in his state. Following is the pres
idents letter:
The Presidents Letter.
PersonaL)
White House, Washing ton, Oct, 1907
My Dear Congressman: The statement
alleged to have been made by the inspec-
tor that I ordered" the Indictment of
-, or anyone else, is lie, just as
much lie as If it had been stated that
ordered that anyone should not be in
dicted. My directions have been explicit,
and are explicit now Anyone who Is
guilty IS to be prosecuted with the ut
| most rigor of the law, and no one who Is
not guilty is to be touched. I care not
rap for the political or social influence of
any human being when the question is
one of his guilt or innocence in such
matter as the corruption Of the govern
ment service.
I note what you say, that the circula-
ton Of this report about me may ALLEVIATE
from my administration. Frankly, l feel
! that anyone who would believe such a.
! story must be either lacking in intelli-
gence or else possessed of malignant
credulity If anyone is to be alienated
from me by the fact that I direct the
j without regard TO his political or social
! standing, When !. appears that he, is
guilty Of gross wrongdoing-Why, all l
can say is, let i,im be alienated.
| II District Attorney has anything
which should be known to the attorney
general or to me as regards this suit L
should be delighted to see him. But.
to see him if his visit is to be in the in
terest "of the welfare of the party or
of my success In a case like this,
where the crime charged is one that
strikes at the foundations of the COM
monwealth, I should hold myself unfit
ment either my own welfare or the inter
| est of the party, or anything else except
I he interests of justice. Respectfully.
Theodore Roosevelt.

WHERE is r. e. GLASS?
Efforts Being Made to Find the Well
Known Miner in Black Hills.

Deadwood, S. D., Nov. 3.-Efforts are
being made to locate r. e. Glass, who
has become well known in mining cir
cles in the Black Hills during the last
few months. He left Deadwood some
ten days or two weeks ago on the Bur-
lington and it is feared he has met an
accident or has been foully dealt with
Mrs. Glass and daughter, who have
been making Deadwood their home for
several months, have left for their for
mer home at Macomb, III. Mrs. Glass
; is in a state of great mental anguish
over the uncertainty attending her hus-
bands disappearance.
Mr.. Glass has been connected with
the Big Four Mining company. 1t is
asserted that his relations with the
company are regular in every way and
that he has made q strict accounting
for all money received. In addition to
his connection with the Big. Four COM
pany he has also been connected with
the United Ruby company, which owns
property on Elk creek.
When he left Deadwood he had in
his possession between $4,000 and $4,000
in money 1t is apprehended that he
may have been disposed of by some one
anxious to obtain this money.

This is the sequel of the arrest and

Rhodes signature to bills for several
thousand pounds. The case, which
doubtless will prove sensational, is eX-

HAS AT LAST AWAKENED.
Subject Of Travelling Hypnotist at La
mont Is Partially Recovered

Canton, S. D., Nov. 3.-Further in
formation about the excitement created
by the travelling hypnotist at Lamont Is
somewhat incomplete and unsatisfac-
tory, but the report reached here last
night that Rasmussen had been re-
stored to partial consciousness after re-
peated efforts made by a young school
teacher who is teaching some distance
away from the Lamont neighborhood
and who has studied the subject Of
hypnotism. The boy has suffered in
tensely from the strain upon his ner-
shows signs Of the terrible ordeal
through which he has passed. 1t is re-
ported that he eats heartily, converses
freely, and is seemingly in a physically
healthy condition, but at times he be-
comes irrational and relapses into par
tial Inconsistencies. He says that he
was fully cogniZant of all that was go
ing on around him during the excite
ment but was powerless to do anything
to help himself.
The hypnotist, SO far as can be
learned, has not yet been located and
it is considered doubtful that he will
ever be heard from again.
