WEST is ~oSPER
]. j. Hill Says Eastern uneasiness
Does Not Extend This Way.

St. Paul, July lS.-President James
]. Hill returned to st. Paul today
after a five weeks outing in eastern
waters. Mr.. Hill said, in reply to i
question:
The eastern market. as everybody
knows. Is in a disturbed condition.
The railroads of that section have
within a short time expended vast
sums of money in improvements. In.
dustrials have been thrown upon the
market in enormous quantities and
the public has stopped buying. The
trouble has been ascribed to '~undigest.
ed securities but perhaps We would
better call them '~indigestible securi-
ties
These are local features and raised
problems having their own peculiar
interest and importance to the peo.
pie of the eastern centers. They have
not affected the business of the coun.
try as a whole. which is in good con.
dition.
"Out here we are not worried or do
we need to worry about any OF these
movements that are the cause OF
some anxiety between eastern people
From ST. Paul clear through to the
Pacific coast the people are engaged
in producing foodstuffs. In numbering
and in mining, in developing the great
natural resources of the country
Therefore they are prosperous and
see no reason TO believe that this
prosperity will not continue.

NOTES OF THE
STATE FAIR
Many Manufacturing Concerns Offer
ing Splendid inducements to
the Exhibitors.
PROGRESS IN TEN YEARS
Phenomenal Increase in the Value OF
Ranch and Range Products Since
the Last State Fair.

As an indication of the interest in
the Montana state fair the number of
special premiums is an instance. The
secretary was notified this week that
the Studebaker Bros. Manufacturing
Co. would like to offer a wagon for
the best exhibit of produce from one
farm in Montana. The vehicle is a
handsome runabout, retailing for S65.
The Mccormick division of the In.
ternational Harvester Co. has offer.
ed a mower for the best bushel of
wheat and the brewers will offer i
handsome premium for the best BUSH
ell of barley. The Oliver Pillow Co.
wants to give a pillow for the three
best samples of grain raised upon a
Montana firm. The Helena Meat Co.
has offered a handsome trophy for
the best beef steer shown,
There seems no basis OF comparing
the probable success of a state fair
nov with the experience Of twelve
years ago, when a fair was run at the
capital. The particular productions
that enter into a state fair-agricul.
ture and pure bred livcstock-have
increased about 500 per cent. As an
instance may be cited the fact that
in 1890 the product of the farms If
Montana was estimated at $4,000. 900.
Now IL easily reaches 500 0O. 600. and
counting the range production. beef,
mutton and wool, the figures exceed
S5j,OOU,00U tor 1902. and at that show
ed an increase of nearly Sc. 600. 900
over the preceding year. These fig.
urcs. for one thing. offer ample evi.
dence that a great state fair can now
be maintained in Montana. II has
been more than ten years since the
breeders had a central point at which
10 assemble at a fair and compare
products. exchange ideas and make
a showing of their progress. Such
an opportunity Is offered by a state
far.
The executive committee of the
state fair has definitely decided to
place the speed program entirely into
the hands of w. II. Raymond. of Mad
ison county. and w. b. George, of
Billings. This fact will be taken by
hundreds OF men who know these gen.
tlemen personally as a guarantee that
the public will see honest racing at
the state fair.
The executive committee of the
state fair held a meeting in Butte
on the 18th, which was attended by a
number of prominent mining men of
the big camp. A great mineral dis.
play at the fair is assured.

SEARCHING FOR DEAD BODY.
Police Believe They Have Evidence
to Convict KNIGHT of Murder.

Omaha, April 16.-Chief OF Police
Donahue has received information
from Cheyenne that Frank E. Knight,
wanted here in connection with the
mysterious disappearance of his wife,
was seen in that city.
Chief Donahue stated today that
Mrs. Stiles and her son, Malvin Dusen-
berry, who were placed in the sweat
box again have made confessions
which are sufficient to convict Knight
should he be captured.
Chief Donahue learned last night
that wagon was seen Saturday night
in the vicinity OF some vacant proper
ty in the vicinity OF Florence lake,
where knight lived about year ago.
The locality is also familiar to Dusen-
berry, and the police are now max
ing thorough search OF the premises,
which contain about 20 acres, with the
hope OF finding the body of the miss
ing woman.
A special from Cheyenne, Wyo.,
states that Jennie Dusenberry has
been arrested there on suspicion OF
being in some way connected with the
murder of Mrs. knight.

SUPPOSED RoBBER SHOT
ILLINOIS FARMERS USE PHONE
TO ORGANIZE POSSE.
Overtake Alleged Miscreants and
Wound One 6adIy-One Makes
His Escape.

St. Louis, April 19.-By means OF
the rural telephone service in the
vicinity OF Edwardsville, ILL.,, 1S miles
east OF here, farmer posses were
quickly summoned today to capture
two supposed robbers, and in the
fight that followed Frank Charles OF
Mobile, Ala, one OF two men, was
probably fatally shot, and his COM
panion escaped after three-mile
chase. Early this morning two farm
houses were entered by robbers, and
provisions were taken from one place
and a tent from the second. The
farmers, Charles Glass and Henry
Hendricks, notified Constable Law
renee of East Alton by telephone and
summoned neighboring farmers by
the same means. Immediately heavily
armed farmers answered the call. The
robbers had taken flight in buggy,
and when the posse came upon a
buggy containing two men and to
which tent was strapped on the
outside, the occupants were ordered
to surrender The men laughed, but
did not offer violence. Farmer Glass
took a shotgun from the buggy and,
With an oath, one of the supposed
robbers drew a revolver and fired at
Constable Lawrence, missing him.
The constable returned the fire with
revolver, with no effect. Just as
the supposed robber aimed again.
Farmer Glass shot him through the
jaw with the shotgun. The other man
fled, and after going three miles the
posse lost track of him. The injured
man was given medical attendtion and
not being able to talk, wrote his name
as Frank Charles, Mobile, Ala.
His entire lower jaw was shot away
and a portion OF the throat, and he
may die.

FOUGHT Till DEATH
Outlaw Mckinney Shot Two Officers
Before Being Killed.

Bakersfield, CAL, April 19.-James
Mckinney, the outlaw, was shot and
killed here today. Deputy Sheriff Tib-
belts was also killed and Constable
Packard was fatally shot.
Sheriffs Kelley, of Kern; Collins, of
Tulare, and Lovin, OF Arizona, with
Officers Will and Burt Tibbets, Gus
Tower and City Marshal Packard, sur
rounded Mckinney shortly before II
o'clock this morning in house and
ordered him to surrender Mckinney
answered by shooting. Will Tibbets
was shot through the stomach and
died shortly after; Packard was shot
through the neck and shoulders and
dangerously wounded. Burt Tibbets,
brother of the dead deputy sheriff,
shot Mckinney through the mouth
and neck, killing him.
Mckinney has been in Bakersfield
two days and was harbored by friends
in the Chinese joss house on L street.
The house was regular fort. In the
place with Mckinney was HUI Hulse,
a desperate. Mckinney had sawed
off shotgun in his hand, while Hulse
used a pistol Hulse would not obey
the order to come out of the barricad-
ed house and the fire department was
ordered to the scene. Hulse gave up.
He was taken to the county Jail. An
immense mob has been surrounding
the Jail for some time and is trying
to take him from the officers.
Mckinney was accused of having
committed several murders. He was
native of California and was first
sent to the penitentiary from Tulare
county for assault to murder, and af-
ter his release went to Randsburg,
where he figured in some further
shooting trouble. He escaped trial,
coming to Bakersfield soon afterward,
where in the. latter part Of 1900 he

PARTICULAR ABOUT sALUTEs
Private Did It improperly and Officer
Ran Him Through.

Berlin, April 16-A court martial
has been ordered to try Ensign Huss-
ner, of the German navy, who, on
Good Friday, killed an artilleryman
named Hartmann, with his sword at
Essen for not saluting him properly,
according to Hussner's version OF the
affair.
Hartmann was former school
mate of Hussner and the latter AYERS
that the artilleryman attempted gross
familiarity in trying to shake hands
with him after he (Hussner) had ar
rested Hartman for the informality
of his salute Then, Hussner adds,
Hartmann started to run and the en-.
sign thrust him through the back
with his sword, afterwards saying:
when draw my sword, blood
must fiow."
Hussner had written to Hartmann's
mother saying it was hard that his
duty as a Prussian officer" required
him to act as he did.
In Hussner's notebook were the
names of several privates who must
have been reported by the ensign for
not saluting him as respectfully as
he desired.

Butte, April 19.-Had it not been

men working in a crosscut in Farrell

tana Mining company, might have suf-
fered death as a result OF the fire
which occurred at the mine early this
morning.
How the fire started is a mystery.
keri came to the surface and as soon
as he discovered the true condition
OF affairs ordered the engineer to low
er him into the mine again, going to
what at the time appeared to be GER
tain death. The engineer, Ed Neatly,
demurred and told keri he was go
ing to his death, but Keri insisted and
the engineer began letting him down.
One hundred feet from the bottom OF
the shaft, the engineer driven from
his post by the flames, put on the
brakes and stopped the cage.
Keri, below ground, realized what
had happened, but still maintained
his wonderful self possession. Setting
the dogs on the cage, the safety de-

of lashing the cage as fast as possible
! to the side of the shaft. He knew the
cable would be burned through and
feared the cage might fall.

MARCHING TO ACRE.
Two Thousand Bolivian Soldiers Are
on the Way.

Two Thousand Bolivian Soldiers Are
on the Way.
San Francisco, April 17.-Major H.
L. Bernstein, chief of artillery of the
army of Bolivia, arrived on the steam
er Acapulco today, on his way to
Japan, to which country he said, he
has been sent as special envoy by
the government of the South Ameri-
can republic. He refused, however, to
divulge the nature of the mission.
Major Bernstein brought the news
that Bolivian army OF 1000 men is
on the march at the present time to
the Acre department to make an at
tack on the Brazilian forces which
forcibly occupied the district some
time ago. President Pando, of Bo-
livia, is personally leading the army.
The country to be traversed is vir-
tually wilderness and three or four
months must elapse before the troops
can arrive and begin active operations
to regain possession. The major is
not very hopeful as to the outcome.
