After the loss of their children. Ma

old homestead that had been Mrs. Nc

1877, after which for the next IA years,
they spent most of their time in Wash

Mrs. Mckinley was present when
the president was shot down by Leon

6. 1901, and she remained at her distin-
guished husbands side until he
breathed his last on the 14th of the
same month. She bore up remarkably
well, considering her weak condition,
and always displayed the greatest de-
votion to Mr. McKinley's memory. On
each anniversary of his death she
placed wreaths of flowers on his tomb
in Westlawn cemetery. Canton, and for
two or more years after his death she
visited the vault daily and put a bOu-
quet Of flowers upon the casket.
OF Mr.. McKinley's devotion to his
wife there are few parallels. During
their residence in Washington It kept
him so completely at her side. when he
was not engaged in public matters. that
he had no time. if he had any taste,

HUNT DOWN LAND FRAUDS.
Illegal Fencers to Have Respite
While Interior Department
Furnishes Timber Thieves.

No special effort will be made by
the government to enforce the anti
fencing law on western ranges for the
next year. All special agents who
have been in that line of work in the
past have been placed at work on
land fraud cases. ut is more essen
ital that the government save public
lands which are being taken from it
by fraud" said Acting Secretary Of
the Interior Woodruff, than to have
illegal fences torn down at this par
ticular time. We can destroy fences
almost any time, but we can not de-
lay investigations into land frauds
because those who committed the
frauds would soon have their tracks
covered so we'll that we could not
catch them"
The interior department has map
ped out. a campaign against land
grabbers Of the west for the coming
year that promises to turn up scandals
that will completely oversiadow those
in Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Utah
and Wyoming in recent years. With
the entire force of special inspectors
now digging for information, in the
intermountain states sensational de-
velopments are promised soon in two
or three localities.
The government will soon know
how many cases are pending in the
courts Of the country to which it is a
Do vsfu fhnir or of,,o nd a
disposition that should be made of
them. A commission composed Of a
United States attorney, an agent of
the interior department and an agent
Of the department Of justice will
search the court docket in each state
and territory simultaneously and
make a record Of every suit pending
in which the government is interest
ed. Recommendations will accom-
pany each case as to whether 1t shall
be dismissed or prosecuted or further
Investigated. This method has been
tested in Utah during the last week
by officials, who say it works satisfac-
torily. 1--WE have no record now of
litigation pending" said acting Sec
rotary Woodruff. "No doubt hundreds
of cases have been burdening the
dockets of the courts of the coun-
try for years. Where the amount in
volved is insignificant and no great
governmental principle is involved we
shall dismiss them. Where a great
principle is involved or big amount
Of money is at stake we shall ask for
an immediate trial"

DEATH OF P. LARSON.
Millionaire Passes Away at Helena
After Two Years
illness.

Peter Larson Of Helena, the we'll
known millionaire mining man and
railroad contractor, died Friday night
at Helena after two years illness.
Mr.. Larson, who came to this coun-
try 38 years ago, a penniless youth
but 20 years Of age. was conceded to
be the wealthiest man in the north.
west with the exception Of Senator
William A. Clark Of Montana. His
wealth probably exceeds 10000, 600
and by some people he was rated as
being worth more than $20,0O0,000.
He and Thomas Greenough of Mis-.
soula at one time owned the Morning
mine at Mullan. The property was
sold less than two years ago to the
Federal Mining & Smelling company
for 100000. Mr.. Larson owned q
half interest of the property.
Mr.. Larson was born in 1849 on the
Danish island of Fyen. In 1869 he
came to this country and went to work
on the jetties at the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi river, going later to Arkansas
where he first began railroad work
His contracts for railroad building
were the first ventures to make him
rich. Among other lines Mr.. Larson
built the Wallace issoula branch Of
the Northern Pacific, the Spokane
Falls & Northern, and the Washington
Central. He also had large banking
and timber interests.
In 1880 Mr.. Larson welded Miss Mo
ran Of Cascade, Iowa.
Mr.. Larson's illness and death was
an indirect result of the Clallam dis
aster, for he was on the i'll fated
steamer, bound for Victoria, B. c., and
after the wreck was afloat in the cold
water for several hours before he was
finally rescued. Cirrhosis of the liver
resulted and eventually caused his
death. About year ago he Joined
