FRIDAY, r 30.
VOTE FOR THE BOROUGH.

n Carteret is to decide the borough
question herself. Although the bill
creating the borough of Roosevelt
ont of the northeastern section of
Mse3isidse-tewpship passed the as
fsembly without opposition, it struck
q snag in the senate. A delegation
appeared at a hearing, opposed to the
new plan and the senate had to de-
eide. Another hearing was given
| "Wednesday at which both sides were
represented and the arguments wax
ed warm. Finally it was suggested
that the question be put to the vote
of the people who are to be the citi-
gems of the proposed borough. Both
sides heartily agreed. In fact, il
would hardly have done for either
side to have objected and the SEN
ators were only too glad for a way
out of the difficulty, The bill was
accordingly passed with a referen-
DUN.
The election to be held in Carteret

THE BRIDGE

There is every reason TO believe
that as soon as the Amboy bridge
is completed and opened for traffic,
the war department will order the
freeholders to construct three steel
/ spans south of the present draw, as
told in the Washington dispatch to
the NEWS Yesterday. To do this
will require more money and it was
to raise this money that a bill has
been introduced in the legislature au-
thorizing the county to issue $4,000
worth OF bonds. This bill was re-
Gently brought up in the senate by
Senator Jackson and was opposed by
Senator Colby.
AS the war department will prob
ably allow the county two years in
which to make the required change it
will not be necessary to have the
$4,000 at once and it may go over
until the next legislature, but it is
evident that the county cannot carry
out the demands OF the war depart
ment unless the money is forthcom-
ing and the Legislature must give the
required permission.
Evidently someone has misled the
Essex senator in this matter. Nobody
realizes more than the people of Mid
dlesex the money that has beer
wasted on this bridge, but they do
not want it all spent for nothing.
The bridge has cost much more than
it is worth, bur it must be completed
and if the war department insists,
changes must be made.
Senator Colby can best serve the
people of Middlesex by standing
aside and allowing Senator Jackson
to get the bridge bill through. The
county has a new Board of Freehold
ers now which has, thus far, demon
strated a desire to give the county
good government. 1t is a decided i'm
provement over the old board and
can be trusted to do the right thing
with this $4,000. If the war de-
partment is going to insist upon the
changes and the money must be had,
the legislature might just as we'll
pass the necessary bill this year as
to prolong the agony until 1907.
| With the authority given, the free
holders can proceed to get the bonds
ready and there need be no unneces-
sary delay in getting the changes
made within the limit specified by
the war department. First of all get
the bridge open to traffic and then
let us have the changes that are de-
manded and have the matter over
with.

New YORK, Nov. 1.-The Central

Woman Killed By Wolves

OTTAWA, Nov. l.-Prof. Frank
Hewitt, Of Chicago, has just reached
Dawson City with all that is mortal of
his lost sister, Dr.. Emily Chambers,
who was eaten by wolves in the far
north. She was, according to details
received here, a graduate of the
Minnesota school of dentistry at
Minneapolis, practiced in Chicago and
St. Louis, and was getting material
for writing q book when she met such
a terrible fate.
Only after a two years search, a
400 mile walk through swamps and
terrible suffering did Hewitt find where
his sister last camped. He found only
part of the skull and a few bones, and
identified them by parts of undercloth'
ing, cloth, and a shoe found 800 fee,
from where she lost her life. She lef,
home July -, 1901, and the remains
were found last September.
In his letter he says his sister trav'
eled alone, and that he had reason te
believe wolves had attacked her CAM
equipment and destroyed much of it
and that her sutferings from mosqui
toes and insects were terrible.

TORONTO, Nov. l. Fifty-seven
Grand Trunk conductors on the Mont

divisions have been dismissed for &C.
ceptiug tips from passengers, particu'
larly commercial travellers, instead Of
tickets.
This is the result of 4 report made
by special detectives, two men and two
women. The management had for
some time suspected leakages and the
fact that one conductor is worth $780,.
600 and another has six grocery stores
increased the suspicion. The men
here deny knowledge of any reason
for dismissal and have put the case in
the hands of the union.

CLEVER SWINDLER Captured.
Police Officials Claim His Operations
We're On a Gigantic Scale.

CHICAGO, Nov. l.--Charles Whit.
uey Norton, said by the police and
postal authorities to be responsible
for extensive swindling operations,
is under arrest here, and will be
turned over to the federal authorities
by the police, who took him into GUS
tody. It is claimed that Norton had
defrauded people in all parts of the
United States out of bonds aud Sc.
curities amounting to @. ZOO, 600.
1t Is asserted by the officials that
Norton would obtain stock from q
person who would trust him and agree
to sell it In the market. He might,
the police declare, sell the stock, and
be might retain it, but the result to
the persons owning the STOCK. it was
stated, was the same. They would re.
ceive no money from Norton, nor
would the stock be returned, the of.
fcers allegc.
He was first taken into custody by
the police three days ago and they
held him without preferring any
charges against him until a search
could be made for the securities said
to be held by him, aggregating in
value about q. 600. 900.
In his room were found bonds,
stocks, abstracts of land titles, first
mortgages and other negotiable pa.
pers the greatest part of which is
thought to be genuine and worth al.
most $4,000, 600. Other papers were
found which on their face are worth
about 81. 600. 600 more, but their actual
value is dou btful.
1t is claimed that Norton by selling
and trading these securities has made
many thousands of dollars. The pos
tai authorities say they have beer
searching for Norton since January
1908, when he disappeared from De.
troit, Mich, ostensibly to 90 to Lon.

sheep Killed by Wheat.

WAlLA WALLA, Wash, Nov. o.
Gus Harras of this city lost nearly
800 sheep through the act OF q drunken
herder who allowed the flock to remain
in q wheat field until the sheep ate a
large quantity of dry wheat, causing
fermentation, which resulted in their
swelling to large proportions. Harras
went to the field today, where he found
10 acres dotted with dead sheep and
the herder lying in a straw stack In q
drunken stupor.

Identified by Finger Print.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA curious
result OF the recent adoption by the
United States army of the system of
Identification by finger prints, just re-
ported to the war department., was the
discovery in the person of a soldier
at Fort Leavenworth of a British
murderer for whom the Scotland Yard
authorities have been looking for
years. The mar was a prisoner in
the United States prison, serving a
tive-years' sentence for a military
crime.
In prison he las we'll behaved and
we'll liked, and when the warden, or
dered to take the finger prints Of all
soldiers, attempted to secure az i'm.
preston Of this mans digits. he met
with violent resistance and the assist.
ant who tried to make the record was
knocked down and roughly handled.
Suspecting that the resistance was
based upon the mans previous knowl-
edge of the use to which the finger
print might be put and that his record
was bad, the warden Sent copies O.
the prints to the police authorities it
a number of cities. Within a shor
time Scotland Yard reported that thu
man had committed an atrocious muir
der in Morta: that he had been sen
fenced to life Imprisonment, and hat
escaped to America.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. Z, 1906.
THE MONTANA ELECTION OF 1904.

Reference to the Montana election
returns of two years ago shows a very
peculiar state OF aft airs in the minds
of some OF the voters as to their pc.
litical affili atoms, and their duty as
citizens who believe in the principles
of me or the other of the political
parties. 1t does not occasion surprise
when a voter marks his ballot for a
candidate OF opposing political belief
who aspires to a local Office in which
politics cuts no figure; but when he
votes for members of the legislative
assembly who will elect q United
States senator, a common sense view
of the matter should.convince him that
political considers atoms should inau.
ence his choice.
The election returns of 1904 show
that republican presidential electors
carried every county in Montana ex-
cept Broadwater and Silver Bow:
while Mr.. Dixon, the republican can
didate for congressman carried every
county except Broadwater, Jefferson
and Silver Bow. Why the voters of
Jefferson county should want a repub.
lican president and q democratic con.
gress, is a proposition that cannot be
explained.
Another feature of the returns is the
strange mixup in voting for members
of the ninth Legislative assembly, the
political complexion of which deter.
mined the choice of q United States
senator to succeed Paris Gibson.
Twenty.three of the counties went re.
publican for presidentia al electors, and
twenty-five Of them vent republi.
can for congressman, but only ten
were ''straight". republican mem.
bers OF the state legislature. These
ten we're Beaverhead, C%houteau, Gus.
ter, Dawson, Fergus, Meagher. Mis-.
soula, Park, Rosebud and Sweet
Grass. Three of the other counties
went straight Democratic, and in the
remaining twelve part Of the legisla.
tive delegation was republican and
part Of it democratic. Some of the
voters in these counties either over.
looked the matter Of choosing q
United States senator or cared very
little about it.
The returns for state offices show an
indifference to political considerations
mat does not cause SO much surprise,
in view Of the fact that most OF the pc.
sitions call for qualifications not as
sociated with politics; but the shifting
OF the vote from one party ticket tt
the other demonstrates that a grca
number Of electors declined to "vot,
it straight" This is the story tolt
by the official returns on state Office,
two years ago:
