BELIEVE HIM A
Prisoner Who Is PuzzIing Rosebud
Dt County Authorities.

Deputy Sheriff Lyndes OF Rosebud
county passed through the city last
Sunday, having in custody a man
named Engle, who claims to be a u
derer. According to his W story,
Engle killed a man on the Crow res
ervation, on Coap creek. The man
whom he claims TO have killed, he
says, was annoying and threatening
him and he shot him through his tent.
(, After his Arrest Engle was taken to
the place where he said the Shoot
ing occurred and although he pointed
out where he was camped at the time
and also showed the tent with h
bullet hole in it, he was Unable to
find the spot where he said he had
buried the man AFTER killing him. He
said to the officer that he had made
a grave and covered the body with
leaves before shoveling in the earth.
Engle. vas employed by a rancher,
who told Mr.. Lyndes that Engle al
ways carried a Winchester rife with
him, saying that he had shot a man
and supposed an attempt would be
made to arrest him, but that he did not
intend to give up without a fight. At
! the time he was arrested he had
momentarily laid the weapon aside
and his capture was effected without
trouble.
Yesterday the deputy sheriff was in
the city again, en- route to the south
ern part of the county to subpoena
some witnesses. He expressed it as
his belief that Engle vas crazy and
the story of the homocide merely a
Pigment of his distorted brain.
Engle at one time lived here and
was an enthusiastic member of the
Salvation army.

LETTER FROM A SAN FRANCISCO
EDITOR.

San Francisco, June II, 100;

Office of Wine and Spirit Review,
San Francisco, June II, 1908.
To the Editor of The Gazette:
Dear Sir: The business men of
this city who are now proclaiming to
the world the discovery OF the cure
for Bright's disease and diabetes have
asked me as one of the be%neficiaries
to write to some of my brother editors.
Hence this letter to you. | was at
first as skeptical as anyone. l had
reason to be. l had a clear case OF
chronic Bright's disease; was i'll for a
year. 1t was not thought l would live
thirty days. The president of the
Pacific States Type Foundry told my
wife that the newly-discovered diu-
retic would ave my life, and against
my private convictions I a put on
it. In six months my recovery was
complete.
A friend of mine, DR.. A. J. Howe,
a prominent physician, was nearly
dead with Bright's disease. On my
recovery l told him and it acted the
same in his case and he is now we'll
| on the road to recovery. / told one
of the writer's on the Call, whose
mother had diabetes. She has fully
recovered. AS a brother editor l per-
sonally assure you of the truth OF
the discovery. Thousands of lives
are to be saved and I am writing in
the hope that this letter will start
some of them right.
F~raternally yours.

~ warrant has been issued for the
arrest of j. M. Darroch, who is charged
with removing sheep from q~uarantined
range. The complaint was filed at
the instance of the state veterinarian,
who has received information that the
accused was driving his sheep from
that section of the Mussclsheil val
ley which had been placed under qua
rantine because of the existence OF
scab and preparing to take them over
INTO Park county. Judge Fraser is
sued the warrant, which has been
placed in the sheriff hands Tor SER
vice. Mr.. Darroch is expected to ar
rive in the city within a day or two,
when he will be arrested.
Last night Chief Morse arrested S.
Esselslyn on a warrant charging him
with obtaining money under false pre-
tense. The complainant in the case
is Tony Minder, who alleges that he
was induced by Esselstyn to cash a
check on the Bank of Carbon county
for $40 on Esselstyn's representation
that he had money on deposit in that
institution, when the contrary is claim
ed to be the case. The prisoner was
arrasaaed this morning before Judge
Mann and took the statutory time in
winch to enter his plea. In default OF
Londs he was remanded into the GUS
tody OF the sheriff. 1t is said that in
addition to Minder, Esselstyn also vic
tbYzed other parties.
NLast Sunday a number of fishing
parties left the city to whip the
i streams to the west. Some chose the
Saltwater, others the Yellowstone,
while still others went as far as Big
Timber, where they tried their luck
in the Boulder. Owing to the plenti-
fulness of grasshoppers and other in
sects no large catches were made, as
the trout coul not be tempted sue
cessful1y with flies. One gentleman
who ished in the Saltwater was heard
to remark that that stream had been
whipped so much that the fish knew
the names of the different flies even
better than the men who used them
and gave that as a reason for the
rather poor success he had.
When the preliminary examination
OF "Curley" Vivian was called in
Judge Mann's court Friday afternoon
it was found that the most important
witness for the prosecution, the man
: who gave the information to the police
l that resulted in Vivians' arrest fol
> arson, had disappeared. 1t was be
: lieved that friends of the accused had
: spirited him away. The hearing was
continued until Saturday afternoon il
: the hope that the missing man nigh
Y be located. He had not been fount
Y when the matter came up for the sec
ond time. Vivian was then arraigne(
. on a minor offense and given a shor
: iail sentence, while search for thu
= contemptuous witness was ordered
continued.
