Will Quit Cattle Business.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., March SD
gar Boice, manager of the P. O..
ranch, the largest in southern Wyom-
ing, states that John Arbuckle, the
New York coffee king and owner of
the ranch, has instructed him to sell
at once the holdings of the company
here.
This is due to the fact that the fed.
eral government recently compelled
Arbuckle to tear down forty.fve miles
of illegal fence, and in the absence of
a land leasing law, Arbuckle has de.
cided to 60 out of business. The
ranch comprises SIS, 900 acres of decided
land, and negotiations are now in pro.
gress for its sale at S275 900 to a land
syndicate, which will colonize the
tract, which lies adjacent to Cheyenne
on the north. The deal includes S75,-
600 worth of cattle and $4,000 worth
of horses.

He Is Wanted In Montana.

B1sMARK, N. D., March 1O.-A.
Chenoweth, who has been in the insane
asylum for several months, was releas.
ed this week and taken to Worcester,
Mass, by the sheriff Of this county
and his mother, upon an order of the
local insanity commission, the trip be.
ing made by the way of Canada,
through fear of trouble with Montana q
authorities who want Chenoweth for
horse stealing.
Chenoweth was arrested, six years
ago, for stealing $4,000 worth of
horses from the famous Heidekoper
ranch in Billings county, but escaped
from the jailer and was not rec captured
for five years. He was tried here for
the Heidekoper theft and freed on the
ground of insanity.
The local board ordered him sent to
his home at Worcester, but Judge
Burke of the district court, who had
tried him, ordered him sent to the asy.
lum. He is now being taken east on
the original order of the insanity
board.
The Montana authorities have said
they would get him if he was ever re.
leased, and further developments are
looked for. Chenoweth comes from an
illustrious family, his father having
foe NJ ~
and afterward consul to China.

indians Tell Strange Story.

EDMONTON, Alta, March S.-Since
survey work was first started on the
Grand Trunk Pacific railroad several
strange discoveries have been made
in the hitherto unknown country to be
traversed by this new transcontinental
railway. Recently party of survey.
ors found about 300 families of In.
dians hidden away from civilization
in the wildness of the Yellowhead
pass. They are well.to.do and live
from the proceeds of fur trading aud
breeding horses. They raise intelli.
gent animals and are the most educated
redmen in the north country.
The legend of their settling in this
pass is romantic, reading more like
an episode recorded in the Fennimore
Cooper tale than an historical event.
They say they are descended from the
great Iroquois nation which wrought
such havoc in the eighteenth century.
Generations ago they lived in ILL.,
nois and in the Blackhawk uprising
they were driven from the states and
fed for safety in a northwesterly di.
rection. Through strange lands they
travelled and through territories ruled
by savage Indian bands. Through
the Block and Blackfoot country,
through the Cree country and through
that part occupied by the Beaver In.
dians the outcasts travelled, but no.
where were they made welcome.
Driven from camp to camp, they fin.
ally located in the Rocky mountains
at the mouth of the Yellowhead pass,
and there they were allowed to remain
unmolested because no one appeared
to know where they were. They have
prospered, and today are far superior
to any other race of Indians in the
Canadian northwest.

Adams Jury Gould Not Agree.

WALLACE, March 8.-The jury in
the trial of Steve Adams, for the mur-
der of Fred Tyler, after being in de-
liberation for 36 hours, announced
that it was impossible to agree upon a
verdict and was discharged by Judge
Woods. The jury stood seven for
conviction and Eve for acquittal.
Steve Adams was arrested in Ore.
gon more than year ago for the
murder Of Fred Tyler, claim jumper
within the ST. Joe river region of Ida
ho, in August, 1904. Jack Simpkins,
also wanted in connection with the
same murder, is still fugitive from
justice.
Adams was taken to the Idaho peni.
tentiary at Boise. There he was in
formed that Harry Orchard, in con.
Tossing the assassination of former
Governor Steuneuberg. had implicated
the Western Federation of Miners in
that crime and had asserted that
Adams knew about the plot to kill
Steunenberg, and that Adams could
be brought back to Idado upon the
charge of killing Tyler. Adams made
confession to Detective McPartland,
in the presence of witnesses, while
still in the penitensiary, admitting
that he had shot Tyler with rife. In
the confession Adams also told of the
murder of Boule another claim jum-
per, and of an alleged plot by the
Western Federation of Miners to
'get" Steuenberg.
When the case finally came to trial
Adams asserted that he had been
forced to give the confession and hat
the detectives had assured him of
freedom il he would make a statement
involving the Western Federation Of
Miners in the ass sassin alton of the for.
mer governor of Idaho.

Big Life Insurance Graft.

TRENTON, N. j., March 10. "A
startling story of how three stock.

", 900 in the Prudential Life In.
surance company, in which they have
been drawing dividends OF $500, 900 q

port of the state committee appointed
last year to investigate life insurance
companies was made public.
These stockholders, the report says,
have accumulated, beyond that, slO..
900, and so rapid was the gains
and so great the prospect of their
future accumulation that in 1902, when
the scheme for reciprocal control of
the Fidelity and Prudential companies
was in course of arrangement, the
stockholders OF the Prudential were
able to dispose of shares at six times
their per value.
The principal promoters of the com.
pany actually received for part only
of their holdings in November, 1902,
from the treasury of the Fidelity
Trust company, s., 997, 900. For the
shares which produced this amount
