Investigating Spotted Fever.

AT the meeting last week of the
State Medical Association consider
bic discussion was devoted to the
mysterious malady known us spotted
fever, sporadic cases of which have
been reported III late years from sew
eral counties in Montana and the
states of Idaho. Wyoming and Nevada.
In an effort to solve the spotted fever
problem, which has puzzled the mem
bers of the III, diCal profession for
wears, DR.. II. L, Ricketts,, OF the uledi-
cal department of the University of
Chicago, but who has been located at
Missoula Tor the past year, deyotng
his efforts to the solution Of the sub
iect, read paper OF vast Importance
and Of much interest to The profession.
For five years eminent phy sicians
have studied this problem, and much
Of value regarding it has been learned.
1t is acknowledged, however, that
much is yet to be learned before the
cause Of the dread ailment can be de-
termined and cure for it can be ac-
compished.
The theory that the fever has it's
origin in the bite of an insect popular
ly known as the woodtick has almost
been abandoned, although the most
earnest and painstaking investiga-
ton is still progressing along this
and other lines that in some measure
give promise of yielding important re-
suits. DR.. Ricketts, urges that not
only the medical profession, but also
the government, should do everything
possible to stamp out the fever, as the
future of the Bitter Root valley, with
its splendid agricultural possibilities,
de pends upon that result being at
| tanned.
| 1t was stated by DR.. Ricketts, that
the fever has recently appeared in at
least one gulch in the valley, where
| its presence was never noted before.
Out of many cases this year seven
have proved fatal.
| In the discussion following the read
ing of the paper, number OF mem-
bers of the association spoke of the
grave nature of the situation as des-
cribed. DIR. Ricketts, was elected an
an honorary member of the associd-
tion.-Butte Miner.

Missoula, May 10.-The action OF
the executive session Of the senate yes
lerday in rejecting the nomination of
e. a. Winstanley as receiver of the
Missoula land office occasioned consid-
erable surprise among the republicans
here, as it was believed that no oppo-
sition would develop to his contirina-
ton by the senate. Mr.. Winstanley
has held the office Of receiver for the
past four years, and his term of office
will not expire until the oath of this
month
Mr.. Winstanley received telegram
yesterday from Senator Carter stating
in effect that the nomination had been
ma de without consulting him; that he
had opposed the nomination at the
meeting of the public lands committee
and that this action had been ap-
proved by the unanimous vote of the
committee, and also of the senate

SHERIFF COOK NABS FUGITIVE
A North Dakota Horse Thief in
the Tolls.

Woodson Clark, who is wanted at
La Moure, N. d., to answer to the
charge of grand larceny for stealing
team and wagon, was arrested here
last Wednesday by Sheriff Cook. The
sheriff received letter from Sheriff
Larson of North Dakota in December
giving a description of the person
wanted, and although Clark has been
here only few days, Sheriff Cook
was soon on his trail. Learning that
Clark intended seeking work at the
Bitter Root stock farm, the sheriff
telephoned 10 the different ranches in
quest of the wanted man Wednesday
morning. Late that afternoon Clark
presented himself to Foreman Nick
Blindauer of the Corvallis ranch and
asked for work. MIR. Blindauer, rec
ognizing the applicant to be Clark,
consented to employ him, and immed-
lately thereafter phoned Sheriff Cook
| who went to the ranch and arrested
CLARK. AS soon as Clark was placed
under arrest he wilted and acknowl
edged that ne committed the crime fol
which he was wanted and did not hes
itate to tell the sheriff all about the
affair. Sheriff Cook at once advised
the La Moure authorities of the arres
and late Thursday afternoon received
a telegram from Sheriff Larson tina
he would leave home at once for thu
prisoner, for whom a reward Of 500 il
i offered.

RAILW'Y PRESIDENTS
IN THE FIELD
HEAD OFFICIALS OF THREE
RIVAL RAILROADS IN
MONTANA.

Butte Mont. May 13-Word was re-
ceived at the local office of the North
crn Pacific yesterday that pre- sident
Howard Elliot would arrive in Helena
this evening on his tour of inspection.
The Elliot party spent most of yester-
day in the vicinity of Glendive look
ing over interests at that point, leav-
ing last night for the safe capital.
Local officials of the Northern Pa
ciic state that President Elliot's visit
to Montana at this time is nothing
more than regular inspection trip,
but owing to the fact that President
James ]. Hill, of the Great Northern.
and President A. J. Earring, of the
Milwaukee, are in the state at the
at the same consensus of opinion on
the outside is that President Elliot is
here on more important business than
mere inspection.
Montana Railroad Sold.
Word came from Helena yesterday
that the Montana railway from Lom-
bard to Lewistown had been purchased
by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.Paul,
and that the road would be made the
main line of the Milwaukee through
that section of Montana.
The struggle for supremacy between
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern roads on one side and the Milwau-
kee on the other is growing warm and
interesting developments are expected
shortly. 1t was expected that the
Great Northern would make some eff
fort to purchase the Montana railroad
to head off the Milwaukee in it's march
toward Sthe Pacific. The announce
ment that the Milwaukee had secured
possession of the road from Lombard
to Lewistown came as something of a
surprise, though it has been generally
understood for some time that nego-
nations were being made.
AT the local offices of the Great
Northern yesterday the officials stated
that they had no recent information
rege riding the whereabouts of Presi-
dent Hill and his party. President
Earling is believed to be somewhere in
the vicinity of Miles City.

CARTER AND DIXON CLASH
ReCeiVership the Bone of Contention
===DixOn Secures Winstanley's
Appointment and Carter
Causes Its Rejection

tor Carter before the nomination was
made. Land office receivers and reg
listers are classified as among sena-
toril patronage, but Representative
Dixon thinks that thc Missoula case is
an exception to the rule.
The Montana congressman contends
that as Missoula is his home, he has
the light to appoint the receiver of
public moneys at that place. He was
sustained by President Roosevelt in
his contention, for the president APP
pointed Dixon man. The incident
has raised no little feeling between
Senator Carter and Mr.. Dixon.

The question as TO who shall be re
sonia land office is still a live one.
When the news came that E. a. Win
stanley had been reappointed, con
sternaton reigued among the Cone
clan. Representative J. Frank Cone
had an unconditional promise from
Senator Carter that he She uld have
the office at the expiration Of Win
stanley's term.
1t was known that Wirstanley had
the backing of a powerful Missouia
corporation and which would cause
Congressman Dixon to make a hight
for him. In fact Mr., Dixon had been
very busy for several weeks trying to
land the office for Winstanley. But it
was ontidently believed that Senator
Carter had the longest pole and would
knock off the persmmon. When the
news ot Winstanley's appointment
was received Cores friends began to
fear that he was the recipient of one
|
ator has proven so adept at passing
out. Then came news of the rejection
| of Winstanley by the senate and
Cones stock shot up. This was fol-
lowed by a telegram from Senator
Carter to Mr.. Cone assuring HIM that
he would be cared for.
No new developments have since
trans pired and the situation may be
summed up in the following special 10
