BIG MONTH FOR SCOTT.
Game Warden Feels Gratified Over
Fines Collected This Month.

Walking with the aid of a crutch
hut pleased as the result of his trip
to L.ewistown State Game Warden
Scott has returned to town after a
notable roundup of v~iolators of the
state game and fish laws, says the
Montana Record. He uses a crutch
because he injured his foot while try
ing TO climb on a moving Montana
railroad train at Lewistown, where
he went to look after the states in
terests in the prosecution of Ralph
Pulitzer, the New YORKER, who last
week pleaded guilty TO killing an an
telope in Fergus county and was fined
$500. He is naturally pleased owe
the outcome OF the case.
Il am glad we secured a convlc-
ton" said the game warden. I'VE
had such a clear case against Pulitz-
er that his attorney. Colonel Nolan,
after looking over the situation,
changed the plea from not guilty to
guilty. Judge Cheadle. in passing
sentence, plainly told Pulitzer if he
had not sought to evade prosecution
he would have got off easier"
Young Pulitzer was AT Lewistown
and promptly paid the fine. The
charge OF killing mountain sheep i'll
Teton county still hangs over his
head and the game warden says it
will come up soon.
Last month was Il accord breaker
for convictions under the game law,
81 600 being collected m fines from
tire persons alone. There were:
Pulitzer. $500; -. W. Dwclly, of Gal.
latin county, who VAS fined si0O for
killing elk. and a man hy the name
Of Gladwin, who paid s20O in Nilsson
la county for killing deer ont of sea-
son, There were a dozen or more
minor convictions also during the
month and on the whole Game War.
den Scott believes he has cause to
lcel happy ever if he does use a
CTntch.

ROYAL MILLS CLOSE.
Wheat is Short at Great Falls and in
Western Dakota.

Great Falls Tribune: Owing to the
scarcity of wheat in this portion of
the state and in the country from
which 1t draws its supply, the Royal
Milling company yesterday closed
down its plant for an indefinite per-
iod and the mill will not again be
placed in operation until this years
harvests shall have been housed. The
Cascade county supply of the cereal
has become entirely exhausted and
the Dakota supply has become very
short, and what wheat there is in the
market has been in such great de-
mand on the eastern market that the
local mills for some time have not
been able to secure sufficient to keep
running. II may be a month or six
weeks before the local supply of
wheat will be on the market.
In consequence Of the shortage a
f%ive-cent raise in the price of wheat
has gone into effect here on all
grades and the mills are now quoting
prices as follows: No. / spring and
winter, 81 cents; No. 2 spring and
winter, 8S cents; No. 3 spring and
winter, IS cents.

that they were not accidents, but may
have been started by an incendiary.
Both of the buildings have been
burned when there had been no M
in them for some time and II looks
suspicious to say the least.
The theory Of Fire Marshal John
Bebb Is that both buildings were set
aGre, but as yet there is no clue as
TO who the fire bugs ire II is the
opinion of the marshal that the fire
of Monday morning vas set by some
one who had a grudge against eth
or Jackman or Weber and took this
method to get e II is reported
that some of the people who attended
church at the Methodist church Sun
day night saw a small light in the
shop but this report cannot be veri-
fed. It will go hard with anyone
who is caught in the act of starting
a fire. for this fire scare has hap
pened 10 Lewistown before and the
residents of the town do not propose
to let such things happen II they can
be prevented.

TWO BOUNTY THIEVES.
Caught by Custer County Officers in
Dakota.

Miles City, Aug. 5.-Sheriff Saw
age yesterday brought down from
Rosebud William Verde. alias w. b
frauds at Glendive and other places
Jones and another man were ar
rested the same time and left Rose
bud in charge of Stock Inspector w.
ID. Smith, who assisted the sheriff in
effecting the capture. which was made
about 16 miles south of Rosebud, on
Butte Creek.
The method OF operation of the ac-
cused men was 10 take or ST al black
hides and scalps after receiving the
bounty certificates and sew the sew
eral parts together. covering the
seams with a heshy connection that
defied detection. They had been
working along the Musselshell at Bill
ings and finally at Rosebud. There
is a reward of 5000 on Verde. offer
ed four years ago by the governor of
Montana for a similar crime.
Verde had a gang of four men, who
cashed in 1856 worth of hides in
Miles City. Two days afterward,
August 10, 1900, the hides were stol'
en- by unknown parties from the shed
where they had been paced by the
clerk. The men next appeared at
Glendiye with the same amount OF
hides and received the bounty. Sus.
picion was aroused and the deception
discovered. They were chased to
North Dakota. but all escaped except
McCracken. who was sent to the pen.
itentiary for seven years.

Taken With Cramps.

VIM. Kirmse, a member of the
bridge gang working near Littleport,
was taken suddenly Ill Thursday night
with cramps and a kind of cholera.
His case was so seveie that he had
to have the members of the crew
wait upon him and Mr.. Clifford was
called and consulted. He told them
he had a medicine in the form OF
Chamberlain's Collie. Cholera and Diar'
rhoea Remedy that he thought would
help him out and accordingly several
doses were administered with the 20.

lose friends for both themselves and
the industry they represent. The
strikers are now attempting to create
a meat famine in order that the people
may be made to suffer and thereby
give greater attention to the progress
of the existing labor difficulties. There
are things in the line of eatables just
as nourishIng to the human system as
meat and such change has come about
in the dieting of nineteenth century
men and women that fewer people will
be affected today by any rise in the
price of meat than ever before. A
prominent Cincinnati lady, now secre-
tary of the Ohio Humane Society,
boldly says that the present strike may
raise the price of meat, but it will not
affect her pocketbook. She claims
that it would be boon to the world
if the slaughter of cattle were absolute
ly stopped. She is vegetarian and
has eaten no meat for the past ten
years. She uses butter and eggs and
drinks milk, and with fruits, vegets-
bles, cereals and nuts finds diet that
has kept her in good health Meat is
now absolutely repulsive to her.
Perhaps the Chicago strike may
make vegetarians of all OF us and the
slaughter house Will become a thing Of
the past
