ANOTHER SERVANT GIRL.
|MAsToDoN's SHIN BONE
Part Of Frame Work Of An Extinct
Animal Found Near MusselshelI-
Earl Morse Has Late Model "Hulck"
Automobile on Road.

Friends Of a prominent wool grower
whose home is near Lavina are tell
ing a story on him Of how one Of his
neighbors, also identified with the
stock business, worked him recently.
It seems that the stockman hired a,
servant girl in Billings, several days
ago, to work on his ranch. After he
had looked up her references care
fully he decided that he had secured
just the right kind Of 3 girl and made
her an unusually good offer.
The girl took the stage for Lavina
and the stockman guaranteed all Of
her expenses, including fare and
board.
Unfortunately for him, however,
another stockman who made a trip to
this city In quest Of a girl was on the
stage, and as he was returning empty
handed he persuaded her to work for
him by Offering her a higher wage.
The girl went straight through Lavina
and on to the other stockman's ranch
without the Formally Of notifying her
first employer that she had changed
her mind.
The man who stole his girl from
him did not pay her stage fare or
other expenses, however, consequently
the affair does not appeal to the vic
tim az q joke.
Needless to say that II he secures
a girl during his present trip to the
city he will send an armed escort
/ with her to see that she reaches the
ranch safely and is not kidnapped be-
fore her arrival.
Huge Bone Found.
Mcdonnell Mason, a real estate
man Of this city, has in his possession
what is believed to be the shin bone
Of a mastodon or some other extinct
animal. The bone is about three feet
lin length. and about six inches in
diameter. It's appearance leaves no
doubt but what it issa bone, al 1t Is
porous and Of the same substance as
bone.
It was found on top Of the ground
near Musselshell and shows the ct
fects Of being exposed to the elements.
It is very probable that the bone will
be included in the exhibits which are
soon to be placed in the library.

HEARST REFUSES
TO ARB|TRATE
THE QUESTION OF vERAcITY BE.
TWEEN HASKELL AND
HIMSELF.
HE REPLIES TO A CHALLENGE.
In Letter to the Associated Press
Hearst Compares Haskell to a
Burglar Caught With the
Goods on Him.

New York, Sept. 22.-William r.
Hearst, who has been campaigning for
the national ticket of the Independ.
ence party in the south and middle
west, returned to this city Monday
night and issued a statement concern
ing the challenge of Gov. G. N. Has.
kell of Oklahoma. In his recent
speeches Mr.. Hearst had charged that
Haskell, who Is now treasurer OF the
Democratic national committee, had
sought in 1899 to influence Attorney
General Frank S. Monnett of Ohio to
dismiss certain suits then pending
against the Standard Oil Co.
In a telegram to Mr.. Hearst which
he made public Sunday night, Gov.
Haskell invited Mr.. Hearst to public.
ly prove his charges before a commit.
tee of editors.
Mr.. Hearst refuses to accept the
suggestion of an editorial board OF ar.
tration in the following language:
"To the Associated Press:
81 address this communication TO
you, as l cannot have the slightest
correspondence or controversy with a
man of Mr.. Haskelrs character.
"Mr. Haskell's proposition reminds
me of the story of the burglar who
was caught in the act by the police.
When the police burst in upon him
they found him in front of a safe
which had been blown open, with his
tools in his pocket, dark lantern in
one hand and his other hand on the
valuables in the safe. The police
dragged the burglar to the court room,
and the Judge said to the culprit:
"'Well, what have you to say for
yourself?'
"The burglar said: Look here,
judge, let's arbitrate this case.
"The court records, the complaint
of ex-Attorney General Monnett, the
affidavit of the present assistant OF
the present attorney general of Ohio,
Mr.. Burnett, the courL records of the
state of Oklahoma In the Prairie Oil
and Gas Co. case, accuse Mr.. Has.
kell, and not ].
"NIr Haskell has had many years
in which to sue Mr.. Monnett, II that
gentleman committed libel in nam.
ing G. n. Haskell as one of the men
who attempted to bribe him in the
Standard Oil case.
"Mr. Haskell's proposition to arbi.
trate the matter now shows that he
has sense of humor, even IL he has
not a sense Of honor"
