board. at meeting today adopted II
resolution firing" Timber Warden
Smith, but did not publicly reprimand
Land Warden Swanson. II was an
nounced that the rcprimand will he
given later Mr. Smith was discnarg-
ed because of his connection with the
recent Routt county land trouble,
About two weeks ago the board asked
him 10 resign. When the meeting was
called today Mr.. Smith declined to re-
sign and handed the board a three.
pasc typewriter statement why he
should not be compelled to resign.
The statement was given over to a
recital of the work he had accom-
plishcd since he had been timber in-
spector and the claim that his work
merited u better result than q dis
'harge. Among other things he said
that he had never sought the posi-
lion OF timber warden nor did he
claim any especial experience or quail
iilcation for such position that II was
always TO be understood that he was
10 do the legal work OF the department
and not the timber warden work As
legal adviser, according to his state
ment, he discovered and collected
s150,000 OF arrearages ON certificates
Of purchase and rentals due the state.
He claims he also collected the evi.
t..v Ia, Ia af H..
eblo. through which the state should,
in my opinion, recover very valuable
property In the heart OF the city OF
Pueblo"
He claims that the revision OF all
the blank contracts and conyeyances
as well AS adjusting the pamphlet
laws to conform to the state laws was
lone by MIN, that he prepared scores
Of briefs and written legal opinions
on the construction OF the land law,
that he drew scores OF special con.
tracts 10 meet transactions out of the
ordinary. that he carried on an extens.
i've correspondence In the settlement
Of legal claims and that he prepared
the pleadings In many of the suits at
law for the collection OF judgments.
In addition to the work which he says
he performed as legal adviser to the
board he claims that as state timber
warden he had sole charge of the prep
arations of the reports upon timber
and he has collected more than $780,
900. which sum is greater than has
been received from timber sales from
the time the state was organized down
to the time he was appointed. He
claims that he sold timber for three
times as much as any other apprais
sr In the history of the board, that fol
| .imber which had been previously val
led at $4,000 he secured $4,000.
The above are "A few of the claims
which Mr.. Smith makes for himself
md upon which he hoped to regain
| his position. But his hopes were In
vain. After his statement mad beer

made motion that he be Aired.
Gov. Mcdonald seconded the motor
and 1t carried without dissentint

HARAI,D HEIDE'S CONCERT

The concert by Harald Heide, the
talented Norwegian violinist, which has
been looked forward to with such great
anticipations, especially among the
Scandinavian people, takes place to-
night. The name Of this rising star is
as yet hardly known outside Of his
own country and as it is not much more
than year since his own people dis
covered what a really great artist he is,
it is not to be wondered at.
In that short space of time, since he
finished his education under the famous
Cesare Thomson at Brussels, and gave
his first really great concert. his tours
have been tours Of triumph in Norway
as we'll as in the United States. In
New York, where he played at one of
the concerts in the famous Astor gal
lery, the Musical Courier says. HThe
young Norwegian artist greatly sur
prised his audience,'' and his concert in
Chicago brought forth such enthusiasm
as never has been reused by a Norwe-
gian artist since the days Of Ole Bull
The Scandinavians here have taken con.
siderable interest in this musical event
and there is no doubt that they will
pack the Swedish Temple, Tenth ave.
nue. S and Seventh street, TO it's utmost
capacity tonight.

The delegation of. seven members
presented the demands to the execu-

matter would, be, taken under advise
ment., The committee did not. however,
tell the commercial travellers that the
two PROPOSITIONS would. be submitted
to a vote Of the Western lines. -.
The delegation y WAS in charge OF
Chairman A. Schaefer of Minnesota.
The members said the travelling men
felt that they we're entitled to 5000
mile mileage books at $50 fiat. They
objected to the rebate features and
asked that the book be made good on
trains. The passenger men told them
they thought the western travellers had
their wants we'll supplied with the two
forms of mileage book now sold In the
west, 49,
The committee assured the railroad
men that there was considerable agl-
tation in all five states represented for
2-cent fare legislation, and intimated
that it might not be well for the. rail
roads to refuse the travelling men s re-
quest at this time. The demand with

POLICE SEARCH FOR
DARING KlDNAPPER.
MINNIE PLUMMER REPORTED TO
BE IN MINNEAPOLIS.
Woman Who Carried Away Little Kan
sas City Girl While Mother Was in
Hospital, Seen Here, Citizen Declares
Mother Is Now on Verge Of Insan-
ity.

A daring kidnapping that has trou-
bled the police Of the large western
cities for more than two years may be-
cleared by the Minneapolis police if
they can arrest Minnie Plummer, alias
Battle AK who was seen on the
streets in this city few days ago.
This woman is charged with kid
mapping little Mamie Alwick in Kan
sas City in 1904, while she was acting
as nurse for the Alwick family. Mrs.
Alwick was taken suddenly ill, and
when sent to the hospital, the Plummer
woman was engaged to care for the
child. Nothing was known Of her past,
but when the sick woman returned to,
her home she found nurse and child
gone. A man calling himself Plummer
went with her and they had little trou-
BILE in eluding the police Of the cities
in which they stopped.
Mothers Mind Fails.
A few days ago man came to police
headquarters, reported that he had seen
the woman in the city and asked if she
was still wanted. Superintendent j..
G. Doyle Immediately communicated
with the Kansas City police and learned
that the mother is now on the verge Of
insanity because of the loss of the
child, and has offered what reward she
could for the capture Of the kidnap-
pers. ~ .'~ f.~#
Since the kidnapping, the woman is
said to have become involved in sew
eral scrapes in different cities, but al
ways has escaped before the police
could get track of her. -.
Two detectives have been detailed
to look for the woman, and having her
picture and good description, the case
is not hopeless. The woman is said to
have been seen in one of the resorts IN
South Minneapolis, and thoro 4inves-
tigation is being made.
The case attracted attention all over
the country at the time, because Of the
condition Of the mother, and every
large police force worked to clear it
