The defeat Of Senator Fulton, in his
fight for the Republican nomination to
succeed himself from Oregon, is likely
10 have an important reflex influence
on the bitter contest which is going on
IN South Dakota, for the seat now &C
Cupied by Senator Kittredge-
II Is a curious and almost unprece-
dented chain OF circumstances which
has established 80 important a rela-
tionship between two States more than
1000 miles apart. Yet # IS a fact that
the defeat OF Fulton will greatly in
crease thu probability Of, Kittredge's
defeat
The issue in the Oregon fight was the
charge that Senator Fulton had been
unduly friendly TO the defendants in
certain suits. brought by the Govern
ment. against alleged land grafters-
It was charged by Francis J. Heney,
Government prosecutor in the land
cases, that FultOHs influence had been
on the side OF the grafters, and that he
had tried TO make their effective prose-
cution impossible. Heney campaigned
Oregon with this charge. and it was
this charge which enconpassed the re-
lection of Fulton and the nomination
of Cake for his place.
Opposed to Bristol.
At the instance Of Heney, President
Roosevelt named w. c. Bristol to be
United States district attorney for
Oregon, to handle the LAM fraud cases
in conjunction with Heney. Senator
Fulton was opposed to Bristol. and at
the instance OF Fulton. who opposed
BristoPs confirmation by the Senate.
Senator Kittr1dge lined up IN the Ser
ate Judiciary Committee against Bris-
tol.
The attitude OF Kittredge in this ma
ter came sharply into issue in South
Dakota 1t was charged BY the oppo-
nents of KittredEe that Kittredge was
helping 70 play the game or a disCredit
ed politician Kittredge claimed that
Fulton was right, that there were good
reasons for the rejection of Bristol and
that the primaries in oregon would vim

WAS A BUTTE WOMAN.
Suspicious Circumstances Surround
ing Death OF Belle Gilchrist.

BUTTE Mont, Sept, belle Gil
christ, the victim OF the Nome muir
der, was 4 resident OF this city up tc
three years ago, when she was a wei
known matron OF the mess of the en-
ginecrs, foremen and bosses OF the
Anaconda Mining Company She
was about so years OF age, and pos
sessed a small fortune, which was all
in personal property, q considerable
portion being left In the care OF +
G. Smith, a bookkeeper OF this city,
The Gilchrist woman was prominent
Nn church circles during her residence
here. Shortly after her marriage to
Johnston, miner OF prepossessing
appearance she left for Alaska, The
last letter Smith received in Mrs.
Johnston's own handwriting was
about lS months ago. Since then two
letters came asking for money in lots
OF $500 or 5000 in each case it being
explained that Mrs. Johnston had
broken her arm and was debating the
letter to her husband, The money
was sent and the drafts came back en-
dorsed in the handwriting Of her hus-
band.
Three months ago, Johnston came
here and demanded an accounting of
the money belonging to Mrs John
ston. Mr. Smiths suspicious were
aroused and he hesitated about taxi
ing action without papers better than
those OF power OF attorney
Johnston flew into wrath and go
ing to Smiths employer told him
that he had papers in his pocket that
would send Smith to the penitentiary.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1908-09-03

Johnston again approached Smith
with threats, but the latter told him
that he would have nothing further
to do with him and Jonston desisted
from further attempts to get money
and was not seen again,
Smith then communicated with Ross
Neagel, general passenger agent Of
the Oregon Railway & Navigation
Company in Seattle, who investiga-
ted and found that Johnston was liv-
ing with a woman other than Belle
Gilchrist, who represented herself as
Johnston's wife, The officers were
then notified and Johnstn's arrest fol-
lowed.
