told them they would not be allowed to

RYAN UNDER ARREST.
The Notorious thurman is Charged
With Grand Larceny.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: John j. Ryan, a race horse owner.
whose horses Reliable and Monster won
the first and third races at Brighton
Beach today, was arrested at the Brigh-
ton track this afternoon on a warrant
charging him with larceny by means of
an alleged "get-rich-quick" scheme. of
which he is said to be the head. The
amount involved is said to be $500, 900.
The warrant for Ryan's arrest was issued
in st. Louis. and the arrest was made by
a New York central office detective who
was accompanied by a st. Louis detective,
and George Fickesson. assistant to Dis
trict Attorney Folk OF st. Louis.
Ryan took his arrest coolly and induced
the detectives to remain with him at the
track until the end of the third race. on
which he told them he had "a few hum
dreds placed"
why didn't those people in st. Louis
let me know they wanted me? I'd have
gone on" he said.
At police headquarters he gave his age
at thirty-nine years and his occupation
horse racing. He was taken at once be-
fore Supreme Court Justice Amend. in
chambers and bail was fixed at $1,000.
Representative Timothy D. Sullivan Of this
city signed the bond
ney's Office in ST. Louis was indignant
when he learned that bail had been fixed
at $1,000. I'VE are framing strong case
against Ryan," he said. land it is tough
to have the Judge let the man out on
such small bail. But we'll get Ryan.
We have five st. Louis detectives watch
ing him. and he can't get out of the state.
We were going to take him to st. Louis
tonight, but we are frustrated"

ball. 1t was said that the warrant con-
tanned two specific complaints. mention
ing several hundred dollars only.
Detective killian of St Louis said to-
night that Ryan was indicted by the
grand jury after several hundred wilt
nesses had appeared He declared that
there probably would be over 1000 COM
plants against Ryan when he comes to
trial
Killian said the scheme in this case was
one In which readers of st. Louis news
paper advertisements were asked to go

racing game was in the background, said
kfllian. Dividends were paid to some of
the first subscribers. but as the number
increased the dividends were passed, and
all the money coming in was kept.

GROWING IN WEALTH.

According to the returns received
by the state board of equalization,
the amount of taxaole property in
Montana this year is greater than at
any former period. The aggregat
assessment of the twenty.six counties
amounts to S20l, 764, 1856, which shows
a small increase over the returns for
1902, when the total passed the two
hundred million dollar mark.
The increase in the state assess
ment this year is due to the higher
valuation placed upon railroad prop.

Several other classes of property show

The records OF the state board of
equalization show steady growth in
the value of taxable property in Mon.
tana during the past ten years. In
1894 the total assessment of the state
was Sis, ,850,S92, and it has grown
rapidly since that time. The higher
value placed upon railroad property
by the state board Of equalization has
contributed largely to this increase,
as the total railroad assessment Of ten
years ago was only little over ten
million dollars.
With total assessment of S201, 764,
1856, the people of Montana are pay
ing just as high a state tax levy as
ten years ago, when the value Of tax
able property in the state was less
than $l19, 100000. Ibis is a feature

Chouteau County Republican Ticket.
ANOTHER FUSION DEAL.

The terms upon which the populist
and labor party organizations will
support the democratic state ticket
have not been made public, but it is
assumed that their endorsement was
secured through promise Of reward at
some future time. Four years ago the
fusion of these political elements was
effected by giving places on the state
ticket to populists and labor party
men, and others were appointed to
state offices by Governor Toole as a
part of the deal.
1t is difficult to estimate the number
Of votes hat:can be controlled by the
action of those who direct the aft airs
of the populist and labor parties in
this state. Two years ago they nomi-
mated Martin Dee las their candidate
for representative in congress, and at
the election of that year he polled
6,005 votes. Whether this number Of
votes can be switched to any ticket
endorsed by the so-called leaders of
the populist and labor parties is an
uncertain proposition.
In the election of two years ago,
Joseph M. Dixon, the republican can.
did ate for representative in congress,
polled 24,626 votes, and John NJ.
Evans, the democratic candidate, 49,
$50. Martin Dee, as before mentioned,
received 6,U05 votes, and George B.
Sproule, the socialist candidate, 3, l3l. i.
Mr.. Dixon's plurality was 5,066.
The democratic managers are boast
ing that with the assistance of their
populist and laborite allies--pur-
chased at the expense of their inde-
pendence and self-respect-they will
win the election, but Chairman Man
tie, of the republican state committee,
believes the rank and file Of those
parties will not consent to be traded
Oft like cattle. AS an example of po-
litical consistency and virtue, Mr..
Mantle refers to the fusion deal as
follows:
''The motley array of political ele.
ments now harnessed up together
