WASHINGTON CRlTICISES

iionni Executives and Violates n
strict LAW Enforced by
Capital City.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. Sept. 1.-THE fact that
President Roosevelt is known to have had
n sIx-shootcr In his hip pocket when
aboard the yacht Sylph has caused no lit
lie surprise and comment In Washington.
When In this city the President IL well
guarded. both at the White House ana on
his walks or drives about the town.
II is believed that he Is the first Presi-
dent to 80 armed In this manner. and the
general heard upon the innova-
ton IL not complimentary. 1t is pointed
out that It could scarcely protect him
from the attacks OF an assassin, but the.
chief criticism is that the President sets
= very bad example in the practice of car
rying concealed weapons.
In this city the police laws are espe-
cialiy severe against offenders OF this
character. a fine OF $50 generally being I'M
posed whether tho weapon Is used or not.

pistol ON his person he IL fined heavily.

fast and sound judgment In many small
matters which Of themselves are uniin-
p%ortant. hut which when combined raise
serious doubts Of his safety" and stabil-
ity OF character. A great zeal is being
heard OF these doubts in financial %centers,
and the siN-shooter incident will not be
apt TO lessen them.

Indians Notorious Thieves.

Attorney Henry Funkley, of
Blackjack, who is in the city to-
day, says there is considerable
complaint from the claim owners
in his vicinity over the thieving
proclivities of the Red Lake In
dians. Many Of the claim owners
near. the reservation dare not
leave anything of value in their
shacks as the Indians have no
hesitancy in appropriating it..
One settler recently tried a novel
experiment. He was compelled
to leave some provisions in the
shanty and he accordingly nailed
"a huge yellow sign to the door
which bore the legend smallpox.
He returned a few days later and
found a big buck Indian seated
lat the side Ola warm fire eating
up several pounds of bologna
sausage that had been left in the
house. The Indian was rudely
kicked out but he had accom-
plished his purpose and had
eaten the settler out of grub.

Taxidermist Henry Buenther

moose and caribou and spent the
twenty days of the open hunting
season. Mr.. Buenther brought

He took the trip for the express

caribou on the trip, however.
The country was full Of deer but
gettir g them out of the woods
was a task which was not to be
considered lightly so Mr.. Buen
ther shot only one, a fine buck.
He was compelled to leave the

police say the job was done by

store of O'Leary & Bowser, but

look for the thieves.
The saloons, gambling houses
and resorts were all gone over
this morning and a number of
suspicious charac tiers we're
rounded up. All were subjected
to the sweat box method Of OBJ
tanning information, but the
police so far have been unable to
learn absolutely nothing. This
afternoon there was wholesale
launching Of well known local
tramps and tinhorns. Many Of
the men refused to leave for the
reason that there is no direct
charge against them but Chief of
Police Bailey says they must get
out of town and will use every
effort to accomplish his purpose

1t is Pointed at Blackjack
Man in Sullivan Disap-
pearance Matter.
PEOPLE OF VILLAGE FEEL THAT
ITISUPTO HIM TO EXPLAIN
Newspaper Stories Of SulliYan's
Disappearance Have Stirred Up
the Citizens of the Town.

a wellknown Blackjack gentle
man whois in the city today re
ports that there is something of
a sensation on at Blackduck at
present as the result OF the news
paper reports published recently
concerning the disappearance of
j. G.. Sullivan from Blackjack
last April under peculiar and
suspicious circumstances.
The whole affair is one of CON
siderable mystery but accusa-
lions have been made that are
serious to say the least and it is
now said that it will be necessary
for several Blackduck people who
have been connected with the
stories in an unpleasant capacity
to explainaWay charges that have
been made connecting them more
or less directly with the matter.
Some Of the newspaper reports
have published the statement
that the mother Of Sullivan
makes the statement that her son
was murdered in Blackduck and
that a we'll known hotel man Of
that city must give a more salts
factory explanation Of the affair
than he has up to date.
There is much talk at Black
duck at present and develop
ments in the matter are now eX-
pected that will settle the matter
in some way conclusive. One
feature Of the affair which does
not look we'll is that at the county
attorneys Office IN this city is
the report of a detective who
worked on the case for sorue=
time, wherein it is shown conclu-
siyely that conflicting stories
have been told, it is also devel-
oped that sorne of these were alb
solutely without foundation.
County Attorney Loud is Of the
opinion that there are people at
Blackjack who could throw a
very great deal Of light on the
disappearance OF Sullivan if the
.Sphinx-like silence they have
maintained up to date could be
broken.
