BILLINGS, Mont, June 13.-More than
$50, 90 acres of government land in It's
section that has, it is claimed, been il
legally fenced in by sheep men and cattle
men will soon be reclaimed by the Of
fcials in Washington. Government agents
have been looking up records and sur
veying, and have, it is said made re-
port that upwards of 250,000 acres of the
best lands have been practically stolen
by the stockmen.
On this territory Craze thousands of cat
tie and sheep, and the owners of the ami
mails have been ordered to remove them
at once. Hundreds of settlers have pur-
chased land from the men who claimed
to own it, and serious trouble is expected
when the eviction order comes. Members
of the government surveying corps, who
have been assisted by County Surveyor
Morris. are authority for the statement
that in other counties in Montana equally
large steals have been perpetrated, and
that steps are now being taken by the
government to secure the land. If this
is done a great hardship will be worked
on hundreds of innocent persons who pur-
chased the land in good faith, not krNN
ing the holders had no right to it, and
could not, therefore, give legal title.

FORTUNES IN GOATS.
Women Find Health and Wealth Com
bfned In Montana.

Special to The Globe.
BIG TIMBER. Mont, June 13.-Scatter-
ed through the state are several women
who spend their time raising Angora
goats, not for the fun of the thing, but
for the money there is in it. From 40
to 40 cents pound is paid for the fleece
Of the Montana Angora goats, and as the
average goat will shear at least three
pounds, there is at least 81 on the back
OF each animal every year. Some of the
focks in Montana contain as many as
10000 animals. and the cost of ranging
them IS practically nothing. The only
cost to the owner of the flocks is the
wages paid the shearers. Three or four
of the women engaged in the business
were at one time Eastern teachers, who
came to this country for their health
and gradually drifted into sheep raising.
All nave done well and a move is now
on foot by these women to bring their
friends from the East and place them on
ranches.
The greatest danger that the goat rails
erS have to contend with, next to the
spring blizzards. is the mountain lion.
Miss Ella English, owner of a ranch a
rev miles from here. was in the hills a
lew days ago, when she saw lion at

Grand Trunks Pacific Line.

NEW YORK, June 13-Sir Charles
Rivers Wilson. president of the Grand
Trunk, who sails for England today,
said the proposed extension of the
Grand Trunk lines through Canada to
the Pacific coast, to cost $4,000. 900, is
now practically assured of success.
While it was originally intended to use
the existing lines of the Grand Trunk
between Quebec and North Bay, it has
been decided to build an air line be-
tween these two points. From North
Bay west, the line will be practically
as heretofore mapped out, passing
through Winnipeg and Edmonton, and
with branches to Port Arthur, Regina
and Calgary. 1t is believed that it will
take over five years to complete the
project. 1t is asserted that the new
route will provide the shortest line be-
tween London and the far East, and
that it will also shorten the distance
between many United States points
and the far East.

FRED AMES CASE
IS UP TOMORROW
Supreme Court will Hear
Appeal for New
Triad.

Fred W. Ames, ex-chief Of the Mime
apolis police department. will have hear
ing in the supreme court tomorrow on
his appeal from the decision Of the lower
court sentencing him to six years in pris-
on for accepting bribesn from women Of
the town. The case win be the most
interesting of any which will come be-
fore the court at this term,
The defense alleges, in It's appeal, 106
errors on the trial in the lower court OF
course, very few of these will be consid-
cred by the supreme court. One, how
ever, upheld, win be sufficient for the
defense.
The real point atSissue concerns the
Introduction ia the trial Of evidence. not
directly connected with the charge against
AmeS. sg
The defense bases its hopes largely
on the supreme court decision in the
case of Coffee john Fitchette.
Fitchette was granted new trial after
his death, the court laying down this
rule:
'It is improper. as a general rule in
the trial Of a person charged with GRIM
inal offense to show that he has commit
ted other crimes, independent of and hav-
ing no connection with the one under
investigation"
Should the court adhere absolutely to
this ruling as a hard and fast proposition
a new trial must be granted TO Ames.

ST. PAUL CHICAGO
LINES WITHDRAW
CHEAP RATES
Great Western DiscOntinues
the Sale of Half-Fare Tick
cts to Eastern Points
Rock Island Enters Fight
for Indianapolis Business
aud Rumors Say Rates
Were Cut.

No more half-fare tickets to Eastern
points, via the st. Paul Chicago lines,
will be sold.
With the close of business last night
the Chicago Great Western withdrew
ats cheap rate transportation and to-
morrow the 500 line will have no COM
petitor meeting its Eastern rates.
However, the impending cut-rate
Nwar has not entirely blown over and
many prominent passenger officials
predict that there will be a renewal of
hostilities before the close of the week.
The Rock Island yesterday entered
the fight for a share of the Indianapolis
business and booked a party of forty
Woodmen from Minneapolis. 1t was
Tumored on the street that the Rock
island secured the business by cutting
the rate for the roup trip from $13 to
$40. This was strenuously denied by
the lines st. Paul officials, who claim
that they got the business because
their road passes through Rock Island,
where the head camp of the Wood
mems order is located. The induce
ment they offered, it is said, is a three
hour stop-over privilege at Rock ISL
and. which will give the delegates an
opportunity to visit the organizations
chief officers.
If the Rock Island made a $40 rate
TO secure the business and the charge
is substantiated, the cut is bound to
bring about a renewal of the bad feel
ing displayed between the st. Paul
Chicago lines during the week just
closed. Other special excursion rates
are bound to be slashed and a deter
mined fight for business will be made.
The Great Western was censured
Severely yesterday for continuing it's
cheap Eastern rate in force after the
order of the Western Passenger ASSOC
citation had been received, which in
structed the members OF the organiza-
ton to withdraw the half-f fare rates.
The Stickney line practically secur-
ed all the Eastern business by cont1n-
uing to sell the tickets at greatly re.
duced rates, and last night a party of
$50 school teachers left over that road
for Eastern points.
The bulk of the Indianapolis business
was secured by the Milwaukee and
Burlington lines. The Milwaukee is
the official Woodmen's road and to-
night party of 400 delegates will
leave st. Paul over that system. The
run from Chicago to indianapolis will
be made via the Pennsylvania.
W. B. Dixon, Northwestern passen-
ger agent of the Milwaukee, and
George w. Weldon, travelling passen-
ger agent for the Pennsylvania. will
travel with the delegates to the con-
Nention city. 1t is expected that a

Mr.. Bow is one Of the few men in the

the facilities for reaching the waterfall
made famous by Longfellow are today
very. far short Of the requirements Of
PUBLIC which is only too anxious to patron
ize the famous resort If 1t only had an
adequate opportunity. aThe unfortunate
part of the situation !is that the street
railway company fails to realize how
greatly Minnehaha would be patronized

to the falls is what keeps most of the
people from the North and West sides of
the city from patronizings the line to Min

reason that it is almost impossible to
