WILLET ROASTS ROOSEVELT
FOR SPECTACULAR PUBLICITY
REPRESENTATIVE FROM NEW YORK HEAPS DENUNCIATION
ON PRESIDENT, INSISTING HE CREATED PANIC WITH
NEEDLESS SWINGING OF "BIG STICK WHOLLY FOR SPEC
TABULAR EFFECT. .....

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Rep-
resentative Willet of New York, in
the house today heaped denunciation
upon President Roosevelt, insisting
that the distressing effects of the
panic of 1907 are still felt in the
land and that there seems to be
conspiracy of silence on the part of
republican members of the house on
the subject of the cause and effect
of the panic
He declared they were afraid to
attack Roosevelt for fear of the "big
stick" The president, he said, was
"reaping the reward of his own
reckless misconduct"
He referred to the "imperialistic
methods" of Roosevelt as evidenced
hy the "un-American discharge of
whole companies of American soldi-
ers without trial and without proof
of guilt" and said that it sounded

Have RAILROADS
LOST GRANTS?

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Sen-
ator Hepburn has introduced reso-
luton requiring the attorney gener-
al to inform the senate whether the
Northern Pacific railroad has ceased
to perform the fuctions for which it
was created, and If there is any rea-
son why it's federal charter should
not be repealed.
The Northern Pacific is now oper-
ating under a reorganization by the
name of the Northern Pacific Rail-
way company, which is not charter
ed by the government. The land
grants received by the company un-
der its federal charter are said to
have been surrendered to the new
company. It is in regard to these
lands that the information is now
sought.

FLEET PLANS
TARGET PRACTICE
MAGDALENA BAY WILL BE THE
SCENE OF MANOUEvERING ON
GRAND SCALE IN TARGET
PRACTICE FOR BIG FLEET.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Now
that the battleship fleet has reached
Magdalena Bay the department is
next interested in the programs for
manouevering and target practice
that will take place in the next three
weeks. The efficiency of this will
demonstrate part of the problems
that the long voyage is to work out,
what is the result of strain, if any,
on a long cruise taken in advent OF

Pacific coast of Lower California,
towards the southern end of the pc
ninsula and about 100 miles north of
the Tropic of Cancer. There are no
towns of any consequence in the vi
cinity, but the bay itself is one of
the finest natural harbors on the
Pacific side of the American contl-
nent, and could easily provide safe
shelter for the largest of the worlds
fleets The place has long been COW
eted by this government as a loca-
tion for a coaling station for the
Pacific fleet of the United States
navy.
The arrival of Admiral Evans
feet at Magdalena Bay means that
the long trip from Hampton Roads
is practically ended. OF the total of
$4,000 miles only about 1000 re-
main to be Travelled. between Mag
oalena Bay and San Francisco, the
final objective point. The trip from
Callao, the last stopping place, to
Magdalena Bay is 3,102 nautical
miles and forms the longest log OF
the entire journey. The fleet reached
Magdalena Bay just three months
out from Hampton Roads.
On reaching Magdalena Bay the
feet will put in about three weeks
In target practice, a practice in
which 1t Is expected there will be
great rivalry between the Atlantic
and Pacific fleets, the latter having
also been ordered to rendezvous at
the bay. If all goes we'll the fleet

will reach Magdalena with every

ANOTHER big mining DEAL
Arrangements Practically Completed for the TAX
ing Over Of the Cumberland Mine by
Capitalists Of Spokane, Wash.

r. Won Tobel and Pete Rosso re-
turned last night from Spokane
where they practically closed a deal
for the sale of the Cumberland mine
in the Cone Butte district to Theo.
l.. hammers and associates of the
Washington city. Mr.. hammers is
the M ming expert who was here in
February of this year and made an
exhaustive examination of the Cum>
berland. He found the mine all that
it was represented to be by the own
ers and the deal mentioned above is
the result.
While all of the details of the sale
have not been closed, it is stated up
on the best Of authority that Mr..
hammers and associates will take
charge of the property not later than
the first Of July
Those interested do not care to
make public the price to be paid for
the property but it is known to be a
large sum as the Cumberland is
recognized as one of the finest gold
mining propositions eyer developed in
Fergus county. Th4 ire are between
$4,000 and $4,000 worth Of good ore
on the dump and many thousands of
| tons of the same sort of ore has been
opened up and much Of it blocked
out in the mine. Over $500 feet OF
work, including shafts, tunnels, cross
cuts, etc, has been done on the
property.
! The Cumberland property com
prises five claims situated about a
mile northeast of Maiden. The prop
erty was located about twenty years
ago. Pete Rosso let 20 Of it to Jack
Mansfield from whom he purchased
it back five years ago this month
The late Oscar Stephens shortly af.
forwards became interested with Mr.
Rosso and the development worl
was vigorously prosecuted on thu
Cumberland claim. r. M. Calkins
now general agent for the Chicago
Milwaukee & ST. Paul Railroad com
pany, secured an interest about thre
years ago but sold out his interest
few months ago to local parties. Th'
bulk of the stock was owned by Pet

Kindschey promptly sent him across
with one OF his vicious swipes which
went for two bases. 1t was goose
eggs for the antlered tribe in the
second but they went out and handed
the geese fruit right back to the store
lads. In the third, the Power boys
got one and added couple of scores
more, making a total of four, up to
the end of the fourth inning. All of
this time, the boys with the pretty
new suits were vainly trying to get
next to Rathbun's curves but with
exceedingly poor success. Five in
nings passed and their rating on the
score board was represented by a
row of ciphers.
But they broke the ice in the sixth.
Haasch and Eddie Baker each got a
hit. Stout damned hot one at Will
lard who did something he is rarely
guilty of, made an error When try
ing to catch Haasch at third, he over
threw and Haasch and Baker both
scored, Stout goino to second, from
which station he scored when Artie
Baker landed out safe one.
That made it to in favor of the
Power boys but the Elks tied her up
in the eighth and forged ahead with
a couple in the ninth The Power
went to bat in their half of the ninth
determined to win that game but one
score was the best they could do and
the game went to extra innings.
1t was one, two, three for the white
suits in their half Of the tenth but
the Powers players got busy with
their willows which, together with a
couple of errors, pushed man
across with the winning run without
man being put out.
The game was cleanly played and
not one bit of wrangling marred it.
Umpire Dix gave perfect satisfaction
and the game was won on its merits.
Rathbun and Carleton both pitched
swell ball for SO early in the season
and were we'll supported. Haasch, a
new man, played third for the Elks
| and handled himself like real ball
player Old reliable Billy Slater took
care Of the difficult corner for the
| Power team and was there like web
foot.
Willard was the same steady boy
at short for the Power aggregation
and Hegstrom has the making of a
good shortstop as soon as he gets a
little better acquainted with the posi-
ton. Artie Baker was the saccharine
kidlet on second for the eleven O'Clock
boys and executed swell double
play which extricated his team from
a cavity. He also did some swee,
clouting, three hits being his for the
day. But Kindschy was the real lit
tie hitter of the day. 1t was biff

, quickly as possible. He finally dis
appeared down a coulee into the
creek bottom.
The officers started out to head
him off and found his trail but he
eluded them in the bad lands. It is
one of the roughest countries imaRin-
able and this made the task of the Of
ficers not only difficult but very
dangerous.
Going through country where it
was necessary to leave their horses
and travel for miles on foot, the Of
ficers worked until late in the even
ing but never got another sight of the
fugitive.
That some night or the next morn
ing, horse was stolen about twenty
miles from that point and it is thought
possible that the hunted man may
have made a hurried hike over that
distance, picked UP this horse and
started for other parts.
The remainder of the time that
Sheriff Martin and Deputy Morgan
were out, they covered practically
every foot of that part of the county
and saw numerous tracks but never
a sight of their man. They discover
ed that numerous cabins have been
broken into and robped of provisions
and various articles during the past
six weeks put could not find where
the perpetrator cf these deeds has
ever cooked meal or cached any of
his plunder.
There is little doubt in the minds
of the officers that the man they saw
was Mosney. He is thoroughly ia
miliar with that section of country
