AL. FULkElSON SUPPOSED
TO BE DROWNED

All efforts to locate Al. Fulkerson
have been futile. Not a word has been
heard from him despite all that has
been done to learn of his whereabouts.
If alive, he certainly covered up his
tracks most successfully.
He left the Hotel Arthur, where he
occupied room 55, at o'clock on the
morning of July 4, and has not been
seen since.
He had been drinking heavily and
had made several attempts to check
the habit. Upon that date he was in
a very bad condition from liquor.
Thrice he was taken to his room and
put to bed. Getting up at 3 o'clock,
he escaped from the building without
being seen save by the night clerk.
At that time, it is thought, he was
not responsible for his actions.
1t is the belief of his friends that
he has found a wattery grave in the
Spokane. Perhaps his fate will never
be known and the mystery surrounding
his disappearance never be solved.
William Fulkerson, brother. is
train dispatcher on the Northern
Pacific, with headquarters at Spokane.
He knows nothing of his brother S
sudden leavetaking
The task of informing his mother
of the missing mans disappearance
has not been performed. 1t has been
postponed in the hope that there
would be some news of him.

the Rosebud lands and make their
selections of l60-acre farms.
Itinerant real estate men, who pro.
fess to be philanthropists, offer for
a good fee to aid land-seekers in
selecting farms. These men are willing
to locate each one of the 24O0 success
full applicants upon the best farm
in the whole tract.
Fruit, lemonade and other stands
galore occupy positions in the center
OF the business streets.
To guard against the depredatlons
OF shop-lifters, who are expected to
accompany the crowd Of land-seekers
in large numbers, the counters of the
various stores have been inclosed with
twisted iron grating to protect the
goods from light-fingered customers.
During the rush, fortunes are ex-
pected to be made from small as well
as large things For instance, ID. w.
Forbes, Bonesteel business man, has
been granted an exclusive for the sale
of pop corn, soda water, lemonade,
peanuts. etc. Forbes is putting up
a large number of booths and expects
to realize enough to give him trip

this. He arrested both revelers On
the witness stand Tasgart stated that
they sang but one song. Just Break

pay for the concert. but allowed the
boys to put up 81 and costs each.

STRUCK A BOY

John \. Miller today swore out a
warrant before Justice Stocker for
the arrest of Ernest Montgomery, a
saloon keeper, charged with assault
on Bert Miller.
Both parties live in Elk, where the
trouble arose over the alleged charge
of stealing flowers from the Mont
gomery residence. Bert, who is IA
years old, when accused of the theft,
stoutly declared his innocence, Mont
gomery grew angry during the con-
versation and struck the boy on the
head rendering him unconscious for
a time The blow raised bump the
size of an egg and a doctors services

WHAT PACKERS
STRIKE MEANS

1t involves between $4,000 and
$4,000 workmen in the establish
ments Of the beef trust. The cities
effected are Chicago, New York,
st. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha,
Sioux City. st. Joseph, Fort Worth
and Wichita. The issue is one of
wages. The men ask 1914 cents
an hour. or about $40 a week,
as the average that the men are
allowed to work is only 40 hours.
The trust considers $40 a week
an excessive demand. All inde-
pendent packers are paying more
than is demanded of the trust and
are doing it willingly.
