PULITZER CASE KNOCKED OUT.
District Judge criticizes Attorney Gen
eraI.

Helena, Mont, June THE case OF
the state VS.. Ralph Pulitzer, pending in
Teton county, in which the young New
York millionaire is accused Of violating
the game law by killing Rocky Noun
tain goat. has taken another sensation
al turn.
AS heret ofore stated In these dis
patches, there was an absolute Stipula-
ton that the case should be tried June
2, and witnesses had been subpoenaed
for that date, but on June ! the attor-
ney general signed a stipulation that 1t
should again be continued for the term.
When the attention Of District Judge
Smith was; called to this stipulation he
stated that the case had been discon-
tinued at the last jury term upon the
stipulation. of the attorney general
without excuse having been shown why
numerous witnesses had been subs
poenaed at great expense to Teton
county, and that the same thing had
now been requested. He said ne be-
lieved the attorney general was not
prosecuting the case in good faith, and
that therefore he would entertain mo-
ton upon the part of the county attor-
ney to dismiss the action and not allow
the county to be put to further expense.
The county attorney Of Teton county
has always been opposed to the prose-
cution Of Pulitzer, holding that the evil
denee wa, not sufficient to Justify the
prosecution. and the case will doubtless
be dismiss ed.
Pulitzer will go to Fergus county on
June l6 to answer a charge of having
unlawfullv killed game there.

renee ]. Speir, and crew OF eight
men.
The men are giving the submarine
boat it's habitability test. They have a
supply of food aboard which they will
cook on electric stoves. The Fulton
was sunk at $40 last evening and WAS
not expected to come to the surface un-
til $50 today:
The tests of the Fulton were consid-
cred remarkable by naval men who are
putting the submarine boat thru SER
les of severe trials to determine upon
what type of submarine boat the gov
eminent will expend the ss50,000 appro-
priated by congress.
Conditions of actual war were s1mu-
lated as far as possible for the hrst
test, which took place off Point Judith
early yesterday afternoon. 1T was an
attack upon a supposed hostile vessel
by the submarine from base ten
miles distant.
The target consisted of two rowboats
anchored 100 feet apart in range
which would cover the vital part OF
ship of war.
Attacks Imaginary Target.
The base was established off Point
Judith. Captain Cable, who was in
command of the Fulton, was instructed
by the trial boat that hostile ship
was located off Block Island. He was
given the direction in precise nautical
terms. He did not know the location
of the target until he received his in
structjons. He was told to attack It
and destroy it.
This trial was for testing the abil-
itv of the Fulton to attack with the
aid of the periscope. While making 1t
the Fulton was not to come to the SER
vice at all.
Hits the Target Fair.
The Fulton disappeared beneath the
surface of the water at fifteen minutes
of two o'clock. At four minutes after
3 there was a commotion In the Vlc1h-
ity of the target, and the Fulton came
to the surface Its direction having
been perfect the target being struck IS
we'll as it could have been had the at
tack been made with surface boat
and the object been in view ell The time.
This attack being finished 1t was
assumed that the periscope had been
destroyed and that an attack had to be
made without its use. Consequently
the Fulton went back, and ran with
it's masts and the coming tower, which
is used for the purpose of observation,
out Of the water. This test was not
SO exacting as it's predecessor, and
Captain Train said last evening 1t had
been satisfactorily made.
The Fulton then blew out its tanks
and came to the surface in light con-
dition. 1t then got underway. with
its main engine. charging the batteries,
at the same time, and returned to the
bay. Preparations at once were made
for the Availability test.
All having been made ready, the boat
at half past quietly sank to the bot
tom at a depth of fifteen feet to remain
till half past this morning.
