element and scores Of detectives were set
to work on the mystery. The most generally
accepted theory was that the body had been
stolen for ransom, and Judge Hilton an
nounced that he would spend 100000 to
capture and punish the thieves. but would
not pay one cent for the return of the body.
This statement was modified the next day
at the instance of Mrs. Stewart, and re-
ward Of So, 900 was offered.
The frenzied search was continued foI
twelve days, when Judge Hilton offered
reward Of 500 900 for the arrest and con-
viCton of the five persons believed to have
been engaged in the robbery, or $4,000 for
the arrest and conviction Of any one of
them" This reward was based on the best
information obtainable that five men had
done the work.

placed under surveillance on general prin-
ciples. Two crooks were arrested, and
under stress of sweat-bOX methods, con-

During this time was in the secret serv-
ice working in the middle west, bat
read with avidity all that the papers pub
lished concerning the Stewart case. There
was no question In my mind that the rob-
berry was the work of accomplished crimi-
nails, as they had shown much cleverness in
the details OF their work. For instance,
small tag bearing the letter 81 was found
tied to a picket of the fence, and directly
opposite was a similar tag. A straight line
from tag to tag crossed the Stewart vault.
The same arrangement was found to have
been used TO fix line intersectfng the first.

and approaching within the required distance. But
once having determined these points, the flash IS
discharged when the alarmed deer is off before the
smoke has cleared away And no second exposure or
sight of that animal ever has been secured.
In the last two three years Mr. ShiraS has added
conspcuorsly his collection of fash-ght negatives
until he has included moose, porcupne, wildcat and
other fur-bearing animals among the number of his
subjects photographed Since his election to Con-
gress he has had time than formerly to indulge in
this favore recreation, and in 1904 spent July at his
haunts Marquette, Michigan, among the deer
and other small animals; in August roamed the
wds of Canada "1ash-lightng and caribou;
and in September travelled in Idaho, seeking oPPor-
tunitics to photograph waterfowl grouse and similar
game
Conspicuous in the present field of achievement,
yet comparatively little known, is Stephen ~ Leek,
of Jackson Wyoming. Unlike his predecessors, who
have practised still-huntng and night photography,
Mr. Leek resorts to the of natures scheme of color
protection, and actually approaches his game in day

including cap, gloves and camera-case is white

All things being considered, Jacksons Hole Wyom-

Wd-game photography, though still in its infancy
already has accomplished much toward educating
the masses to appreciation of the living against

hunter only two killings, and imposing a license OF
fifty dollars all nonresident hunters, requiring
that all guides be licensed gamewardens under bonds
and with the Supreme Court decision that Indians as

is every prospect that the large game of " Jackson
