RANcHER UNDER ARREST,
Another Chapter in Madison County
RANGE War.

Dillon, May 11.-A prominent Mad.
ison county rancher, 0. Wilcomb, is
under arrest at Twin Bridges, charged
with the killing OF the sheep of Max
L%auterbach and the assault upon his
hcrder.
+ The shooting was done on the morn
ing OF April %, before daylight.
n arrest is one Of the sensations
OF h day. Wilcomb is wealthy and
highly respected. His brother is Alvin
Wilkins, a Twin Bridges banker.
His arrest comes like a thunder
bolt, although the otncials have been
on the trail of the sheepkillers for
some time.
Details of the attack on the band
OF Lauterbach's sheep and how his
nerder, subjected to a. perfect rain of
bullets, was unable in the swirling
snow to distinguish the fusiladers,
have been published.
Thirty sheep fell before the merci-
less fire of the marauders.
Six men were made out in the dark
ness by the herder. OF these, the
Twin Bridges authorities charge Will
comb with being the leader.
The shooting occurred in the Nc
Carthy mountains, near Melrose. Lau-
terbach has hundreds of sheep there.
The attack on the band is said to
have grown out OF a range war waged
by the cattlemen and sheepmen in
this section for years. 1t has been
fierce this year, owing to
the fact that the bands OF sheep have
greatly increased.
Montgomery Duncan, county attor-
ney of Madison county, is to conduct
the prosecution and Attorney W. s..
Barber of Dillon has gone over to as
sist him.

BOSTON'S MILK SUPPLY.
1t Looks Like a Universal Price of 40
Cents Per Can.

Boston. Sept. 27.-The milk situation
OF Boston is awaiting settlement by the
farmers as individuals, to whom word
has been sent by the directors of the
Milk Producers Union asking for in
StructiOn as to whether or not they
shall remain firm in the original de-
mand of 40 cents per can in Boston. The
farmers have been advised to sign no
contracts until the matter of price is
settled, and to withhold milk unless an
agreement is reached by Wednesday
night, when present contracts expire.
Replies to their letters to the farmers
arc not expected before Tuesday morn
ing, when the directors expect to be in
a position to know the will of the ma
jority of the producers, and to take a
ing. Already two kilograms have been
received, one from Grafton, n. f., the
other from South Danbury, N. H. At
each place it was unanimously voted to
sustain the directors and to withhold
milk if an agreement was not reached
by Oct. /. One of the contractors de-
clared, tonight, that he and his asso-
ciates would not consider the 10 cent
offer nor reconsider their rejection of
the $751;, cent offer, should it be repeal
ed. He expressed the belief that a:
amicable price would be agreed upon
Wednesday afternoon. 1t is believed
that 3S cents viii be agreed upon.

Unearthed by Secret Service Men Near
Marinette, Wis.

Marinette. Wis, Sept. 27.-Officers
yesterday. near Koss. Mich. confiscat
ed one of the largest and most COM
plete counterfeit money making outfits
ever taken i'm the country. They also
captured the leader
The den of the counterfeiters was a
small shanty on an isolated road, two
miles from Koss. Their outfit was q
most complete one, and consisted OF
dies for the manufacture of silver from
10 cents up to a dollar. and gold from
50 to $50.
The officers regard it as a most i'm
portant capture. The gang. posing as
trappers, have for several years been
shipping the counterfeit money to all
parts of the country marked Iron.
Reports from Koss. which is 20 miles
from here. are meagre. as the govern
ment officers are Still trying to capture
others of the gang who escaped.
Further investigation, it is thought,
will reveal a complete system for dis

the country. The coin was well made
and hard to detect, both silver ana gold
being used i'm the composition.

Governor Hickey says that the ward

ported to him twice that a kidnapping
attempt had been prophesied by con-
victs. One convict said some time ago
that such plan had been formed as a
way of getting revenge upon the gov

MccHEsNEY's DEFEAT
Means Loss of Over 100000 to the
Horses Backers.

New York, Sept. Pc. E. Smathers'
McChesney, champion thoroughbred of
the West and the 3 to 5 favorite to
win, ran absolutely last in a field of
five horses in the Oriental handicap at
Gravesend, Saturday afternoon.
The rank and file players and the
INDEPENDENT operators lost inward of
s1OO. 900 on McChesney's defeat Mr..
Smathers lost $4,000 to Cowan. Lichen-
stein and Wheelock. He accented 8 to
wherever he could get it. The wall
which went up from the crowded grand
stands, especially from the women
spectators, who are invariably aboard
the short priced favorites, as McChes-
ney finished trailing his field, could be
heard at Bath Beach. Thousands of
casual players sent thousands of dol
lars into the ring on Big Mae" and
probably another 100000 went up in
smoke in Western poool rooms 1t was
the worst reverse sustained by the pub
lie players this year.
The concensus of opinion tended to
the belief that Fuller was very neglect
full in letting Hunter Raine climb up
ON McChesney and knocking him out of
his stride.
McChesney was fouled and knocked
out of his stride at the first turn and
was never able to get within striking
distance of Charles Elwood afterward.
