FRED A TRIAL.
Many Witnesses Appear Against Man
Charged With Horse Stealing.

Many Witnesses Appear Against Man
Charged With Horse Stealing.
Red Lodge, Feb. 13.-The hearing
Of Fred Clark, charged with grand
larceny, was on before United States
Commissioner R. w. Stone in Bridger
this afternoon, prosecution being con
Quoted for the government by Attor-
ney L. o. Caswell of Red Lodge, in
the absence of Assistant United
States Attorney George H. Bailey,
who failed to arrive to take up the
case. Clark is charged with stealing
q. government wagon and Indian pom
les from the reservation. The gov
eminent has s%ubpoenaed an imposing
array of witnesses. The following
Indians are among the number:
Sings the Last Song. Fights Well,
Known Old White Man, Sitting Elk.
Bird All Over the Ground, Plain
Father, Left Chicken and The Spy.
Then there was s%ubpoenaed Agent
Van Hose, of the Prior agency reser-
walton, Detective A. A. Campbell, w.
B. O'Meary, r. J. Woten, Antoine
Young, Fred Wizard, F. B. Jennings,
Frank Miller, G. A. Heatherington,
William Trub and Fred Ranard.
A sensational incident in connec-
ton with the case occurred this after
noon shortly before Clark arrived in
Bridger from Red Lodge in custody
of an officer. Joseph Chafin of From
berg, arrived in Bridger and declared
that Clark some time ago stole from
his camp on Five Mile, a cooking out
fit. Chafin further asserted that Fred
Ranard, one Of the government wit
nesses, assisted the latter in the
theft, and that Antoine Young, went to
Clark's cache and brought the outfit
in for identification by it's rightful
owner.
In view of the fact that Chaffin can
only bring a petit larceny charge
against Clark, and since a much gray
er accusation stands against him, it
is possible that Clark will simply be
forced to restore the property to
Chahin without the commencement of
a suit. The charge of grand laceny
pending against Clark, on complaint
of Henry Struck of Park City, will be
continued by request Of Attorney Cas-
we'll until the termination of govern
ment cases.

Channel, N. F., Feb. 13.-The rev.
enue cutter Seminole, from Boston,
Mass, has arrived safely at Port Bas-
qua, after a terrific battle, lasting Is
hours, with heavy Arctic ice. The
Seminole is now 100 miles from the
imprisoned fishermen in the Bay of
Islands. Between this point and
where a dozen or more schooners,
some Americans, are held fast in the
frozen sea, still heaving ice must
be encountered before the Seminole
can succeed in reaching her destina-
ton.
The Canadians, who for more than
a month have endeavored in vain to
penetrate the ice field, have given
up hope of reaching their country

WHOLESALE POISONING.
Was Planned by Girl Inmates Of Utah
Reform School.

Ogden, Utah, Feb. 13.-As a result
of the general investigation brought
about by the recent attempt of certain
inmates of the state reform school to
burn the buildings, the officials have
unearthed a conspiracy among some
OF the girl inmates to poison the
teachers and others in authority at
the school. 1t is known that at least
two girls are concerned and that
poison enough to kill 1000 people was
found in their possession. The girls,
it, is said, obtained a quantity of BIZ
chloride of mecury tablets, recently
purchased by the school authorities
for d%isinfecting purposes. The con-
spirators, it is alleged, planned to put
this poison in the coffee at breakfast.

Lost Possible Alliance With oneie
Sam-Cheated by the Germans.

Authenticated ~
London, FEB. 13.-The newspapers
here are much dissatisfied because
Germany is to receive $4,000 from
Venezuela and England only $27, 800.
German, it is admitted, has every rea-
son to chuckle.
The Daily Mail says the net results
of the alliance is that the relations
between England and the United
States have been seriously embar-
raised at a time when mutual senti-
ment is unusually friendly and when
American opinion was beginning to
favor the idea of a British alliance;
and added to that incident, this coun-
try has been exhibited as still in Ger

England.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The delay is

here can sign the protocol, as the
Roman foreign Office was necessarily
consulted at the last moment, owing
to the change of the program caused
by the readjustment of the German

the delay will not be great, for all of

tartan reasons, if for no others, there
being every evidence of intense dis

FINISH FIGHT BETWEEN SENA-
TOR AND NEWSPAPER.
EACH HOSTS BLACK FLAG
Meyer and Picket Making Things
Warm Up in Carbon County,
Old Quarrel Renewed. M
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.

mHHE
There is a good-sized war on in the
camp of the republicans Of Carbon
county which will be fought out to the
finish in the campaign next year. On
one side is the Red Lodge Picket, the
party organ of the county manned
by Walter Anderson, and ON the other
is State Senator Meyer. The former
is determined that the latter shall be
deposed as the political boss and par
ty leader in the county, while Senator
Meyer is as equally determined that
the Picket under the management of
Mr. Anderson shall not have a voice
in the manipulation of party affairs.
The row started in the beginning
of the campaign two years ago when
Meyer SHE'D his castor into the ring
for the state senatorship. Firing was
kept up along the skirmish lines I'M
til the day of the republican county
convention when Meyer landed 9. win
ner for the senatorial nomination..
After that a peace protocol was de-
cleared between these two political
generals, but from all present indica-
lions the fighting has been renewed
with promising indications that the
battle will be a. long one and will be
only terminated when one or the 9th
err of the contestants for the control
Of the county party machinery is con-
signed to political oblivion.
In his position as state senator for
the county Mr.. Meyer naturally
yields some prestige at this stage.
Recognized as the floor leader OF the
party in the body of which he is a
member, it is safe to presume chat he
cuts some ice with the other party
leaders in the state who have to do
with the dispensing OF federal patron
age in Carbon county. Besides being
the editor of a newspaper, which isA
recognized throughout the state as
one of the best country Week.-Mrs. Al
do,sop Il, postmaster at Red Lodge
and his paper gets the federal a
office patronage, the latter being
quite a graft in Carbon county.
Being doubly cared for, Meyer con-
tends that Anderson should not inter-
fere with any matters which would
promote the political and financial in
terests of Meyer and the latter is said
to have a plan which contemplates
the deposing of Anderson as postmas-
ter and depriving the Picket OF the
patronage of the government land Of
flee. But these reported threats from
| the state senator of the county do not
apear to call a halt in the policy OF the
household of the Picket family. They
have apparently made the Picket the
more bitter against Meyer and
brought about more than ever a liked
determination to encompass the polit-
ical downfall of the present Carbon
county senator.
From reports received by The Ga
zette the line of decency in the con
test for supremacy in the county Will
be eliminated. There will be no coat
of whitewash APPLIED at any stage OF
the proceeding and it will be a battle
royal in every respect.

AS one Of the men employed on Koch
endorfer's machine was loading wagon
he discovered the cork of horseshoe
sticking out Of bundle, evidently pur-
posely placed there by some mlscreant for
the purpose Of having it run through the
machine. The punishment OF a villain
who would do deed so dastardly, which
might endanger the lives of innocent peo-
pie, for the purpose of venting spite
would doubtless be short, sharp and suf.
fcient.
Burglars broke into Bell & McCaul's
store at Emerson Sunday morning and
blew up the safe. No money was OBJ
tanned but the safe was ruined. A pane
Of glass was removed from the front
through which the burglars obtained en-.
trance. Messrs. Bell & McCaul have
particularly unfortunate in this regard
for number Of years. Almost every
fall for series Of years they have suffer-
ed from burglars or thieves. Their store
at Dominion City was burglarized last
fall and the safe demolished.
We learn that while young lady was
walking alone near the trestle of the big
bridge at Emerson few nights ago, she
was seized by some man who attempted
to drag her away, but her screams
brought help from neighbors near by and
the man fled. Just now it would be a
good idea for young ladies and girls to
refrain from exposing themselves to dan.
ger of this sort by going out alone in un-
frequented parts of the town at night.
Ordinarily there is little danger, but the
large number Of men being paid off from
threshing crews, and who are leaving the
country. many of whom spend much OF
their money in drink, makes it risky for
girls to go without an escort. The most
of the men who have been working here
are all right, but naturally there are some
exceptions.
