Roosevelt WILL NOT HUNT IN
LIMITS OF THE NATIONAL PARK
SPECIAL TO THE INTER MouxrAix.

SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.
Fort Yellowstone, National Park, March
73.-Over the length and breadth of the
National park there swept a terrific snow
storm yesterday and last night 1t deep
ened the snow that already lay on the
ground, filled up the guches and made
travel, even for the ski-runners OF the
army, who travel from snow station TO
snow station on patrol daily, we'll nigh
impossible. Altogether the prospect of
passable trails and pleasant travelling when
the president comes to visit the park two
weeks hence is not at all good.
But here the general impression is that
the harder the travelling. the wilder the
weather, the better pleased will be the
president. who comes to the park TO get
away from the curious, the ofIice-seekers
and all that host of people who make the
lot of the nations chief executive anything
but happy lie can stand hard travel and
wild weather. those who would like TO fol-
low him cannot.
Major Pitcher, superintendent of the
park and commandant of this post, has not
received full reports Of yesterdays storm,
but it is known the storm was general over
the entire park. The snow is heavy and
damp, making patrol work especially ardu-
Gus.
There is a good deal Of fun here over
the stories that are being printed in the
Eastern newspapers that the president is
coming to the National park TO hunt big
game. OF course this is n mistake-the
National park is the nations great game

good a sportsman, even il he were permit

shoot the protected game within the boun-
daries OF the park reservation. 1t might
be pointed out that not even the president
has any privilege to go contrary to the law
in regard to game. He is no more than an
ordinary citizen when it comes to the laws
OF the land. Moreover he is not the kind
Of man to shoot the wild animals of the
park. who have come to regard man as
their friend and who have no fear of
humanity.
Major Pitcher laughed when the Inter
Mountain correspondent called his atten-
ton to these Eastern stories today.
No" said he, you can set it down as
a fact that the president will do no shoot
ing in the park. He will not come here
for that purpose
1t is understood the information re-
ceived by Major Pitcher from Washington
is that one Of the chief purposes of the
presidents visit to the park is to examine
the precautions that are being taken for
the protection of game and to see what
steps are necessary to make the protection
still more effective.
The tameness of park game is well illus
trated by the accompanying picture taken
on the parade groun. OF this post for the
Inter Mountain. Any day during the past
winter these elk and deer could be seen
browsing through the snow for the grass
that lies underneath. They form an at
tractive feature Of the post landscape.

LITTLE OPPOSITION
IS DEVELOPED At
CONVENTION
Kremer Makes Nominating
Speech-Is Seconded
by w. H. Bickford.

Decentralization, 3: 80 p. m.-Henry
Mueller, the nominee of the citizens party
Saturday evening, was today Endorsed and
nominated for mayor of the city of Butte
by the democratic city convention. The
nomination was made by acclamation.
This was the day on which the real
stalwart Bourbon democracy, which Is said
to have been here since the world began,
or at least since the conclusion of the
flood, held its city convention for the
nomination of candidate for mayor and
candidates for other Offices. -
The convention met at the Auditorium,
and one glance at the prominent and repre-
sentative citizens assembled revealed that
the best and strongest elements of the
democratic party were present-nen who
could be depended upon to put forward for
Office the best material in the way OF can
didates that the party contained.
Discussions on the floor of the Audi
torium before the meeting was called to
order indicated that the Endorsement OF
the candidacy of Henry Mueller for
mayor, the citizen of known integrity and
ability nominated by the citizens meeting
last evening, was strongly favored by the
large maio"'ty of the delegates.
mere DelnR contests III one or two OF
the wards of the city by contesting dele
cations led TO statements that there would
be opposition to Mr.. Mueler's indorse-
ment and nomination, but nothing very
definite could be obtained beforehand rela-
tive to whether the opposition would crys-
tallize or not.
1t was also confidently stated by many
that nothing of the kind would come to tire
front, and that Mr.. Mueller would be nom
mated for mayor by the convention beyond
doubt and without struggle. Many
men could be found who held firmly to this
view who were in position to know where
of they spoke.
Before the assembling of the convention
after recess took place it was known in the
hall that the opposition delegations from
the Third and Sixth wards had been re-
jected by the credentials committee and
all of the regular delegations seated.
This was taken to mean that Mr..
Mueller would be nominated without
murmur or dissenting voice and that the
best factors Of the democratic party would
prevail in naming the ticket for the cleo
ton.
There was an immense crowd of spec

SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.

Great Falls, MarcA s5.-Montana Cen
trail trainmen made ghastly discovery on
the line between Great Falls and the Silver
smeter this morning about o'clock. Ly-
ing upon the track with the head practi-
cally severed from the trunk was the dead
body of a man. The track was covered
with blood, which had become frozen upon
the steel. The coroner was notified and
the body was brought to town. An inquest
will be held this evening.
Investigation showed that the dead man
was John Dorthy, a laborer who had been
employed upon the railroad. He drew his
time few days ago and, coming TO town.
proceeded to get intoxicated. Late last
night he started to walk from town to the
graders camp near the Silver smelter. II
is presumed that he fell upon the track in
a drunken stupor, and that the Southbound
passenger train struck him and cut of his
head. He was about IS years old and had
lived in this section three or lour years.
So far as known he had no relatives in
this state.
