Bridgers quickness of wit, and his
extraordinary knowledge of the In

entire outfit. In all the years of his
frontier experience Baker declared he
was never nearer death than on this
first trip, which ended at the mouth
of Popo Agile, on Wind river.

surprise him. In 1855 Baker entered
the services of the government as a
scout, and for several years he was
looked upon as one of the greatest
scouts and guides in the service of
the army. The Pixies Peak excite
ment drew him into Denver and in
1859 he built home on Clear creek,
not far from the present capital of
Colorado. Here he remained until
1873, when he went back to his first
love-the Little Snake river valley.
Baker, like the other old trappers
of his day, had several Indian wives.

MOOSE BROKEN TO HARNESS.
Minnesota Man Owns One of oldest
Team in America.

Eldora, Ia.-Edward Crossman, of
Ely, Mimi, owns one of the oldest
teams in America. He succeeded last
winter in breaking a pair of moose to
drive in harness. In his sleigh Mr..
Crossman spun about as rapidly be-
hind these animals as if drawn by
horses.
The moose were captured at Bear
Island lake, a few miles to the south
west of Ely, five years ago. The
mother had been killed by an Indian,
and trapper in the neighborhood,
hearing the dog barking, hurried to
the spot, where he found two moose
calves. Mr.. Crossman bought these
calves from the trapper and secured
a permit from the governor to keep
them in his possession.
At first the moose did not like the

District Attorney Jerome, Of New
York, said one day of a piece of sus-
picious evidence:
ut is evidence that has been tam
pered with, colored. 1t is like the
lady's report of her physicians pre-

"A lady one day in July visited her
physician. The man examined her

" Madam, you are only little run

plenty of fresh air, and advise you to
dress in the coolest, most comfortable
clothes-nothing stiff or formal
When she got home her husband
asked her what the physician had said.
The lady replied:
He said | must go to the seashore,
do plenty of automobiling, and get
some new summer gowns"

the years seemed TO slip past with
great rapidity. but he stopped there
The next week he carelessly remarked
that she looked five years younger
than the year before, but as she did
not answer him that was the end of
IT, The other morning she got up to
realize that the day was at hand and
that II was to pass unnoticed. 1t was
true that during breakfast Mr.. Bow
ser's face had worn a knowing smile,
and that now and then he had emit
ted chuckIe of exuItation but she
mad figured il out that he was after
another spring pig or new lot of Leg
horn hens.

The alleged scandal has attracted
attention for some years past. One of
the defendants, Frank L. Emmett,
pleaded guilty Minday and waived a
nearing. United States District At
torney Dunkle explained that Emmett
had turned states evidence and some
sensational testimony is expected to
develop during the trial.
The entire morning session was oc-
cupied in the selection OF jury.
The specific charges against the
three defendants involve the alleged
furnishing of defective boiler tubes to
united States naval vessels from the
Greenville, Pa, mills of the Shelby
Tube Co., by which tho defendants
were employed.
over % witnesses from different
sections of the country have been SUBJ
penaed and the trial is expected to
continue throughout the week.
Mr.. Dunkle opened with an address
to the jury in which he told of the cir
cumstances of the case, including the
statement that Emmett had arranged
with the government to plead guilty
and turn states evidence and appear
as witness for the prosecution. He
stated that the Shelby Steel Tube Co.
had been manufacturing tubes for the
navy department since 1898, but that
the conspiracy charged was begun
in 1902, the defendants being superin-
tendent and assistant superintendent
of the Greenville mill of the company.
The alleged plot, he said, continued
until 1905, that Dunn was not one of
the conspirators during all of that
time, but that he knew defective
tubes were being furnished for battle
ships and cruisers.
Mr.. Dunkle explained at length the
method of making and inspecting the
tubes, giving minute descriptions of
the latter. He told how the alleged
fraud was perpetrated by the defend
ants having workmen remedy defects
in rejected tubes.

RAIDERS WROUGHT RUIN.
Much Property Was Destroyed at
Coney Island, N. Y.

New York. - Armed with axes
and guarded by squad of 20
policemen, gang of men directed by
Durbin Van Week, assistant commits
sioner of public works of Brooklyn,
descended upon Surf avenue, the
main thorcughfare of Coney Island,
Monday, and Topped off every part of
any kind of building, stand or sign
which extended beyond the courtyard
line.
While the indignant owners pro.
tested, soda fountains were chopped
in two, frankfurter stands were torn
apart, overhanging signs were pulled
down, cane ringing racks and the
dozen different catch-penny devices
wAich line the avenue from end to
end were piled into trucks and carted
away. When the raiding squad had
completed its work the avenue looked
as though cyclone had swept
through it, tearing away everything
nearer than 20 feet to the curb line.
AT least 20 truck loads of material
were hauled off.
The loss to the owners of these
stands will be considerable, as many
of them paid extremely high rates for
the privilege of maintaining their
stands within easy reach of the hun
oreds of thousands of people who pa
troll Surf avenue during the season.
Borough President Coler issued an
order last week that all the incum-
brances extending over the courtyard
line must disappear Monday but none
OF the owners paid any attention to it.
