livestock for bounty purposes, and
the fund so provided must be pro.
tected against any illegal or fraudu-
lent claims that may be presented.
The claims allowed against the
bounty fund last year reached the big
total of Sl33,6s0. OF this large SUN,
claims from Valley county amounted
to S20,076; from Chouteau county, S1S.,
00O; and from Rosebud county, over
$4,000. The bounty money paid out
last year consisted of about Sll2, 500
for coyotes. some $500 for wolves,
and a little Y %, 1900 for bears.
Officials of the state board of live
stock commissioners, and the board
OF sheep commissioners. made an in.
vestigation Of wolf bounty matters
with the result that evidence indicat.
Ing fraud in certain parts Of the state
was found. The services of attorneys
and detectives were engaged to secure
conclusive evidence against some of
the parties suspected of bounty frauds,
and the criminal cases now on the
court dockets OF Custer and Rosebud
are the outcome of these proceedings.
The state boards have agents en-.
gagged in similar Investigations in
every part of the state, aud whenever
a bounty claim is presented under
circumstances that warrant a suspi.
cion of crooked work, it becomes the
subject Of close scrutiny by the agent
In that particular district, and every
effort is made to test the bona fide
character of the claim.
This vigilance on the part of the
state boards and their agents will be
appreciated by Montana citizens who
pay the wolf bounty bill. A search.
ing investigation of every wolf bounty
claim will not discourage the killing
of stock destroying animals. Any
person who has an honest claim for
bounty has nothing to fear from a
close scrutiny Of his bounty %certii.
cate, and an inquiry into the circum.
stances under which he acquired such
a claim. II he has complied with the
law, and is not attempting to collect
bounty by fraudulent methods, he will
get all that Is due to him. On the
other hand, those who attempt by
or perjury to raid the bounty
are quite likely to find them.

derer.
Remy passed through gateway early
in October and he sold his outfit to
Lenwood, the agent paying $50 for it.
A few days ago Lenwood read of the
murder of Oliver In q Kalispeli paper
and of the search for the Frenchman.
He Immediately wired the father of the
murdered boy at Dillon and the latter
notified Sheriff Scharrenbroich. Then
followed the chase through Canada,
Northwest Territory and the capture
of Remy at Nelson.
AS the reward was based on the ar

nothing will be done with the claim
until there is a conviction. In the
meatime it is probable there will be
