CLAIMANTS FOR SHERMAN
REWARD REACH AGREEMENT

The claim of Undersheriff Ed. Mar
tin is now the only one pending be-
fore the county commissioners in con.
nection with the reward offered last
September for the arrest and convic-
ton of the murderer of Samuel Stud.
zinski. Immediately following the con-
viction Of James Sherman, claims
were put in by Sheriff Slater. on be-
half of himself and the Lewistown
deputies; Halsey r. Watson and Hal
Dancer. Later Martin filed separate
claim and after long consideration.
the commissioners decided that they
would not attempt to adjudicate these
conflicting claims and the matter went
over to this session. There appeared
no likelihood of anything ever being
done in the matter, SO long as the
claimants themselves could not agree
and they finally got together, all retir-
ing in favor of Ed. Martin, who will un
doubtedly be paid the full amount of.
fered, $1,000, within a short time
What agreement the claimants have
made among themselves, if any, is not
known, and with that the commission
ers are not concerned

The Friend Of the leper.

Washington, June Rev. L. l.
Confardy, the companion and success
sor of Father Damien. who for many
years had charge if the leper settle
ment at Molokai, in the Hawaiian is
lands, was presented to the president
today by Rev. A. P. Doyle. head of
the Paulist Mission house at the Cath
olic university.
Father Conrardy has served human
ity and his church in many parts Of
the world. When he left Molokai there
were 900 lepers in the settlement. His
experience in the work induced the
church to transfer him to Canton. Chi
ma, to look after approximately $4,000
lepers in that vicinity, who practically
have nobody to care for them.
Father Conrardy is trying to raise
a fund on which to support 800 Chi
nese lepers, three sisters and himself.
The president manifested deep interest
in the work.
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1906-06-08

1t is concedeled that Undersheriff
Martin did most of the work in con-
nection with the case. Dancer, the
telephone lineman, first saw the suit
cases containing the Studzinski loot
under the Argus building. but he not
only did not report 1t to the officers.
but did nothing in connection with it
himself. He had told frien of the
find, and it was the talk of tie latter
that gave Martin his start. he inter
viewed the lineman and Obtain in
formation as to the find. He then
brought out the suit cases. and the
first real start was made. From that
time on, he worked increasingly on the
case. In this he was ably assisted by
Mr.. Watson, who turned up much in
formation that proved of the highest
Importance and materially aided in
bringing the crime home to the guilty
party.
The commissioners have taken no
formal action whatever as yet, but it
is the impression now that the dispute
over the reward has been disposed of,
that they will pay the claim during the
present session.
