At that place the animals have been
visited by the country's greatest men
as Mr.. Davenports guests. His depar-
ture for Portland last week was the
occasion of big barbecue, at which
many of the best known writer's, edi-
tors, actors and politicians were pres.
ent.
Further interest in the bringing Of
the famous collection to the Lewis
and Clark exposition is added by the
fact that a number of important tests
and series of investigations into the
habits and peculiarities of the birds
and animals are to be made by Port
land scientists and ornithologists.
These Investigations will begin short
ly after the opening of the exposition
on June / and will continue until its
close, october Is. Work on the DAY.
export farm is now nearly completed,
having been planned and pushed ahead
by Mr.. Davenport's boy friend. George
l.. Baker, who has been highly sue
cessful as theatrical manager and
who is helping the cartoonist in this
period of recreation and visit among
old familiar scenes. Like all other
portions Of the great exposition, the
farm will be complete in every detail
when the gates of the exposition are
thrown open to the world, the first
day of next month.

GOV. ToOLE IS ANGRY.
SenseIess "Joke" Said to Have Been
Started In Indiana.

Helena, Mont, May 22-Although
he has had warnings through numer-
Gus queries sent Montana newspapers,
Governor Joseph K. Toole was thor
oughly aroused today upon the receipt
of eastern newspapers announcing his
romantic marriage at kokomO Ind. to
Mrs. Cox. The governor, as is
known by pbractically every man,
woman and child in the state, mar
ried daughter of the late General
w. S. ROsencrans more than decade
ago. and is the head of a very happy
family of sons.
Upon being shown the newspaper
queries Saturday, Sunday and Mon
day, Governor Toole requested a Gin
cinnati newspaper to ascertain who
was impersonating him in this man
ner, and from this source it was learn
ed that it had been published origi'
nally in Kokomo, and that it started
as joke. It was later copied by In
dianapolis and Cincinnati papers,
doubtless in good faith, but none the
less annoying.
Despite an earnest denial sent the
Cincinnati paper, a query came from
that paper today, which has caused
the governor to give expression OIL
his thoughts in no uncertain manner
The story was to the effect that
Mrs. Cox had served as stenograph
er to the Democratic committee, and
later as a clerk in the legislature
and in this way met the governor
The story went on to say that Gov
ernor Toole had spinster sister who
kept house for him.

last night whic hfor sumptuousness
of appurtenances and the distinguish
ed character of the guests present,
have not been exceeded by anything
of the kind held in recent years in

Practically the entire diplomatic
corps was present. The American
guests, who numbered seven hundred,
included Henry WattersOn, ]. Pier

of the American Chamber of Com
merce, the latter acting as presiding
officer.
A letter from Secretry Hay, in
which he paid a tribute to General
Porters brilliant career. was read.
The speech of Gen. Porter brought
out tremendous ovation, the entire
assemblage rising and cheering.
Mr.. WattersOn made characteris-
tic speech, which, after glowing
tribute to General Porter. took up the
achievements of Paul Jones. His clos
ing words, hurting back the taunt Of
the British press that Jones was a
pirate, aroused great enthusiasm.

METZGER'S STATEMENT.
Believed Man Who Was Hanged Told
Some Truths.

Great Falls. May 22.-Though Her
bert Henry Metzger has been hanged
as the convicted murderer OF Homer
E. Ward and nearly all concerned do
not entertain the least doubt that he
was properly punished, those inter,
ested in the prosecution have instl-
tuted further investigation of the evi,
dence and circumstances connected
with the murder and there may be
sensational developments as result
Metzger died protesting that ne
should not have suffered the penalty
but little attention was paid to his
protestations by those familiar with
the case. However, arrivals yester-
day from Neihart report that detect,
ives have been in that place, making
further investigations, and have dis
covered some facts that may prove of
Importance. While it is not known
it is believed that those now engaged
on the case have been employed by
County Attorney Pease, of Gallatin
county, whose wife is a sister of the
murdered man.
1t is stated that man residing in
or near Neihart has in his possession
a letter that MetZger wrote shortly
before his execution and that was
smuggled out of the Jail by woman
who had called upon him. In this
letter. it is stated, he made statements
concerning matters of which the Of
ficers were before ignorant.
This letter has been placed before
those conducting the investigation and
they have confirmed some OF the

A. Barnard, the proprietor of the Park

Young Barnard and John Ever,
II years of age, residing at 2O5 Eighth
avenue south, left the city in the
morning, in boat, to spend the day
in fishing. They rowed up the river
as far as the Jones ranch and then
crossed to Flood hill, where they spent
few hours, and late in the after
noon started home, rowing down the
river
When they we're at a point about
opposite the lower end of the first is
land above the city, the Barnard boys
attention was attracted by something
in the water, and in order to secure
a better view, he rose in the boat
He slipped and lost his balance and
fell heavily against the side Of the
boat, which careened greatly, and a
second later Barnard was in the wa
ter, which was very cold.
Ewerz took one stroke and looked
back to ascertain how his companion
| was faring. but Barnard had disap
peared and Ewerz did not see him
again.
The search was prosecuted rapidly
and at o'clock the body was found
lying only a short distance from the
point at which Ewerz indicated il
had gone down.
