Petrfiind Forest
National Monument

Copies of President Roose
velt's proclamation setting aside
thirty sections of land and the
petrihed forests of Navajo and
Apache counties, Arizona, as
the "Petrified Forest ational
Monument" have been cirCu-
lated. The proclamation which
is based on an act of congress
of June 6, 1906, declares that
the ''Mesozoic forests are of
the grea test scientific interest
and value and it appears that
the public good would be pro-
noted by the reserving of these
deposits of fossilized wood as a
national monument, with as
much land may be necessary
for the protection thereof.
The proclamation concludes:

OIL TR IT FIGHT.
Government Suit Dissolve Stand
ard Oil Commea ID in St. Paul.

Special to the Daily Item.
St. Paul, Mimi, May 24.-The bat
tie for the dissolution Of the Oil trust
was begun here today. The question
is whether the government, n the
bill filed for the dissolution Of the
trust, must confne its allegations Of
wrong doing to the period followins 8
1899.
Counsel for the Standard have de-
clared that recital of the trusts his
tory prior to 1899 would be only spec
tacular and tend to excite prejudice
because the present concern was not
organized until that year.
Counsel for the government will at
tempt to show that full recital of
the trusts operation since its organi-
cation in 1870 is necessary to estao-
lish conspiracy in restraint Of trade
which the promoters sought to con-
ceal by reincorporation in New Jersey
when the charter was revoked in
Ohio.

FoLT MoULTR1E BAND NAY GO.
May Take Place of Marine Band at
Sumter Monument Unveiling.

Washington, May 22.-The war de-
partment now has under considera-
ton the question Of allowing the First
Regiment Rand, stationed at Fort
Moultrie, to accompany the troops
from the garrison to Stateburg on the
occasion of the unveiling Of the Sum-
ter monument August IA.
Some time ago Col. ]. J. Dargan
came to Washington and saw Assist
ant Secretary Newberry, OF the Navy
department, in reference to securing
the famous Marine Band. Mr.. New
berry said if possible the band would
go. 1t has since, however, been
found that suitable arrangements can
not be made for this organization to
leave Washington at the time it is
wanted; hence Col. Dargan was noti-
fed that his request could rot be
compiled with.
It is understood from what is be-
ieved to be reliable source that
there is considerable dissatisfaction
among some Of the people Of the
yStateburg section in regard to the Or
dering Of the troops to the unveiling,
it being the opinion Of some that it
is all unnecessary, ,and that the cere-
monies should be limited to South
Carolina. A hint Of this has reached
the war department, and there mty
yet be an order countermanding those
previously issued relative to the Fort
Moultr1e troops and their attendance
at the unveiling.
If present arrangements are carried
out is roore than likely that the
First 'egiment Band will be ordered
to join he troops and go to Stateburg
to take e place Of the Marine Band.
It will a Disappointment TO some
that the Ii named band will not 60
to Statebura as it is the crack musi-
cal organizah Of the United States.

By Man He Arrested.

Union, May 23.-Clarence Gist, con-
stable at Carlisle, sixteen miles below
lere, on the seaboard Air Line was
shot and instantly killed at that place,

negro whom Gist had arrested during
the afternoon at base ball game.
but who had been released on bail.
The negro fled Immediately after the
killing, but a posse was organized and
is in hot pursuit A reward Of $500
has been offered for his capture, dead
or alive. The warden Of the State Pen

to send bloodhounds to Carlisle to be
put on his trail and they are expected
to be sent early tomorrow morning.
Quite number of white men went
from Union to Carlisle on the night
train to assist in the search for the
negro.
From accounts received here it
seems that two picked teams were
playing a game Of base ball at Car
lelis this afternoon and the negro be-
came disorderly, shooting off his. re-
vclver, cursing. etc., and Constable
Gist placed him under arrest. He was
taken before a magistrate, but fur
nished bail for his appearance at the
preliminary hearing. Later on in the
evening, about dusk, the negro met
Gist at the Seaboard depot and shot
him down without warning, death fol-
lowing Immediately.

Gift
Of Headc
And Horns.

1" through the efforts of the New
York Geological society and of
its director, DR.. William T.
Hornaday, the United States
| in time to come, when the wild ami
mails once native to the country have
disappeared, will have national col
| lection Of heads and horns of such
beasts. For some time sportsmen and
students of natural history have been
discussing the question Of how to es-
tablish such collection and wishing
that one might be brought into exist
ence before all the big game in Amer
lea Is exterminated. In the museums
of Europe there are collections of
heads and horns which are the envy
Of sportsmen in America. One Of these
collections is in the South Kensington
museum, London, and for years the
English sportsmen and collectors have
been donating to 1t. It's treasures en-
brace many rare and valuable speci
mems from both hemispheres. Natural
ly Americans would like to see some
collection formed in this country which
while not excluding specimens from
other parts Of the globe would give
especial attention to preserving data
about the animals native to our soil,
such data to include, besides the heads
and horns, photographs, records, etc.
This discussion over the truthfulness
of the writer's of books about animals
and the controversy between DR.. W. J.
Long and President Roosevelt as to
the reliability Of the statements in the
formers new work have given special
Thickness to the movement for estab-
fishing the collection. The most active
promoters of the enterprise besides
Dr. Hornaday are Madison Grant Of
the Boone and Crockett club and DR..
John NJ Phillips Of the Lewis and
Clark club. DR.. Hcrnaday represents
the Campfire club, and these three
organizations are known among MINI
rods for the achievements Of their
members as hunters of big game. DR..
Phillips is game commissioner for
Pennsylvania.

It was Burns who trapped the Oregon
land grabbers. In the Ruef case the
friends Of the latter the sheriff and
coroner, had been pretending for a
week to search for him In vain. Ruef
was known by Burns to be at the Tro-
cadero, a resort in the outskirts Of San
Francisco. Assent bling his posse In O
half dozen automobiles in front Of the
Office Of Francis ]. Heney, the citizens
attorney, he started away. The Office
Of Ruef's attorneys was but half
block off, but the open way in which
he went about the job made them
think 1t was ruse. When he reached
the Trocadero, he had the place sur
rounded, surprised Ruef at dinner and
In three hours from the time he left
Mr.. Heney's office had his man there.
One Of the hardest men to get in the
Oregon land frauds case was Puter.
Burns followed him to Boston. Not
knowing his address there, after he
had lost sight Of him he went to the
postof1ce and waited for him.
Puter came.
Burns was unarmed, but he took
chance at arresting him. Puter drew
his revolver and showed it up against
Burns breast. Then he suddenly
struck him down with the butt and got
away. Burns traced him across the con.
tinent and got his man in the end. Puter
Is serving his time now in the Oregon
penitentiary. Some one asked him
later why he did not shoot when he had
Burns at his mercy.
II was going to shoot" he answered,
"but liked Burns too we'll to kill him.

1872 most valuable specimens Of heads
and horns collected by himself. When
the increase Of specimens justifies it,
a separate building will be provided
to house the collection. In the mean
time the New York Geological society,
as guardian of the specimens, will
maintain them In the picture gallery
Of the administration building, now ap-
preaching completion. The specimens
will be arranged in two major divi-
sions, one showing In graduation the
natural evolution Of the horned species
upon the face Of the whole globe, the
other Indicating geographical division
by continents. A complete and COM
prehensive collection Of photographs
will further serve to illustrate the vari-
atoms Of the species and the haunts
and habits Of the animals both in free
dom and in captivity. The collection,
together with the library Of the Zoo
logical society, which will be made
available for reference, will represent
bureau Of information for sportsmen
such as may not be found anywhere
else in the world
| Two notable heads in the present
nucleus of a collection are those Of a
Rocky mountain bighorn and of
white mountain goat. The Rocky
mountain bfghorn is nearly extinct as
a species, and this specimen was OBJ
tanned four years ago in British Colum-
bia. To bring down such a specimen
requires high degree Of prowess as a
hunter, for the gunner must endure
great stress Of soul and body before
he bags this member Of the noun
tain sheep family, family long known
for Its fondness for crags and preci-
pieces where human beings can climb
only with exceeding difficulty. The
white mountain goat-not from the
White mountains of New Hampshire,
as the name might suggest, but from
the northwestern part of the CONT
nent-is another rare animal which
does not readily fall into the hunters
bag. One thing the promoters of the
collection much desire is to obtain Dos
session OF pair Of antlers from the
Alaskan bull moose, which carries the
largest head weapons of any animal on
the globe.

reason of the leakage of the mains
and this afternoon they are holding
