MUST FACE THE CHARGE
CHARLES e. REIFF, SAID TO BE
FORMER CLEVELAND MAN.
Claim That He Ran Away With Miss
Pomeroy. Young Lady Of That
Place, Is Married.
From Mondays Daily.

Jamestown, n. D., Dec. 6. Charles
E. Reiff, who eloped with Miss Ida
Pomeroy of Cleveland, Mimi, day
or SO ago and who was located at
Butte, Mont. by the girls father, re-
turned last evening and charge OF
serious nature has been filed against
Reiff by States Attorney Thorp.
Mrs. Reiff and her young child, who
reside at Atwater, Mimi, have ar
rived here, and it is understood that
she will press the suit against hel
husband.
Reiff was the business manager OF
a hardware company at Cleveland
while Miss Pomeroy was employed as
an assistant in the postoffice there
The two met at dances and parties
and when Reif went to Miss Pome
roy's house to- call he was denied ad
mission.
The meetings however, were kept
up, and finally the girl grew so DIES
perate that she compelled Reiff t.
resign his position and leave the
country with her. The couple came
to jamestown and went from here tt
Fargo and from there doubled bach
to Mandan, where they purchased
tickets to Butte, Mont
Reiff was prominently identified
with number of the secret societie!
of Cleveland, and before leaving re
signed as secretary and treasurer OF
the Eagles, Woodmen and knights o.
Pythias lodges The girl os of slight
build and is said to be under eighteen
years of age. Reiff's parents reside al
Atwater, Mimi, and are said to b.
prominent in the social world His
preliminary hearing will be held Mon
day morning.
Inquiry at Cleveland develops tn,
fact that neither Reiff nor Miss Pom
eroy resided in that place. The cor
respondent must have made a mis-
! take in the name of the Minnesota
town.

Why the Fight Is Being Made on
Speaker J. G. Cannon.
RAP AT WAYS AND MEANS men
Opposition Is Strong Against Stand
pat Members Of That Commit
tee, Say Of Revisionists.
Especial to The Free Press


Washington, Dec. 1T is unlikely
that little important business aside
from appropriations, will be transacted
W the present session of congress.
The demand for a largely increased
appropria ton for waterways which will
be made at the session of the national
rivers and harbors congress this week,
may be acceded to, and this is likely
to be one of the most important
measures of this congress so far as
direct benefit to the whole people is
concerned.
The statement of Chairman Payne
of the house committee on ways and
means, that new tariff bill will be
framed during the present session of
congress, for enactment into law at a
special session has failed to end the
discussion as to how the tariff will be
revised
The framing of bill at this session
is taken by some who claim to be
fighting for a thorough revision of the
tariff as an indication that the SEIZED
ues would be revised too hastily and
without intention of much damage.
Reports that manufacturers, import.
ers, and others interested we're not
given enough time to prepare for the
hearings, and for argument, when be-
fore the committee on ways and means
are in circulation.
The Fight on Cannon.
The fight OH Speaker Cannon is
causing much talk among the legisla.
tors today.
The argument of the speakers sup
porters takes this form: The oppo.
non as against the stand pat members
of the ways and means committee
! especially Chairman Payne and Rep
resentative Dalzell Mr.. Cannon did
not put those men on the committee
The late Speaker Reed put them there
They and other leading members of
| the committee secured their present
places through the system of commit
tee advancement which has prevailed
in the house for fifty years. If Mr..
Taft is making any war on the house
organiza ton, as found in ways and
means, it is a war against the commit
tee system which has grown up there,
His success would mean the turning
out of Chairman Payne and Mr.. Dial
zell and placing the revision of the
tariff in the hands of other men.
Patronage Cuts Figure.
Patronage will be very effective in
bringing reealcitrant congressman
around. A new president has the APP
pointment of great number of fed
eral office holders, whose selection
originates. under usual conditions,
with senators and representatives. The
postmasters form only a portion of
these offices, where the Endorsement
of senators and representatives on
friendly terms with the president, are
equivalent to nomination.
The comparative small majority in
the house will likewise be a deterrent
to the republican leaders. In recent
years there has been a number of ~
volts against the house organizat-'i ii,
If Mr. Taft and Mr. Cannon should
have sharp falling out about legis-
lative policies, it would not be difficult
to form a group of progressive western
republicans. That number, acting and
voting Independently, could harass the
leadership very effectively

One Fault of the Wolf Hunters,
Declares an Expert.
THREE ANIMALS ARE BAGGED
Fourth Said TO Have Been Killed BY a
Farmer Who Made Away With
Body; No Accidents.
from THURSDAYS Daily.

from THURSDAY DailN
The wolf hunt yesterday resulted in
the killing of three wolves and two
foxes. There is a report that far,
mer killed another wolf and immedi-
ately started off with it, but this is
not we'll verified. That there are. a
number of wolves left is certain, for
several more were seen than were
killed. Henry Spicer saw big one
just as he was getting into the bug
gy to come home.
Men Should Have Lined Up.
A. P. Franden Jr. OF Duluth, who
brought his two wolf hounds, will not
return home for a day or two. He
states that if the hunters had stayed
lined up as Mr.. Spicer had put them
they would have gotten six wolves
instead of three. After they had re-
manned in their stations for an hour
or two, the hunters began to get ex-
cited and bunch up and left wide gaps
and two packs of three wolves each
went through the line. As it was, the
farmers who knew where the wolf
runs Were, got most of the wolves
shot.
Burt Keene, shipping clerk for the
Patterson Mercantile company, and
village recorder of North Mankato
shot wolf and mortally wounded it
The wolf was his by all laws of the
hunt, but younger man named Cole
gave it finishing shot and then
claimed the wolf, and Mr.. Keene did
not desire any trouble and surrendered
his claim, although it is the concensus
of opinion that he was entitled to it.
Archie Burril shot the first wolf, and
one of the Grice boys is said to have
shot the third. The animal wounded
by Mr.. Hendley got away.
Nine Wolves Were Seen
Nine wolves were seen in all. Mr..
Franden states that these wolves are
what is known as brush wolves, and
are not nearly as large as the big
timber wolves up north, which some
times reach a weight of lis pounds.
He feels that the two wolves last shot
ought to have been turned over to
those who furnished the hounds, as it
was through their work that the
wolves were gotten. This is the
practice among sportsmen, and the
bounty furnishes some recompense for
their work.
The ground was too dry to get
the scent very well, yet the dogs did
well under the circumstances. Six
hounds We're employed in all, and five
of them worked WELL Ed. Corliss
failed to arrive from st. James with
his hounds.
No accidents occurred to mar the
day, and most of the hunters returned
by train. 1t may be that another
hunt will be organized little later.
As only about forty were present yes
terday, only the third line was laid
out, that being the best location.
Charles Grmstrom was one of the
quartet that went wolf hunting in
warmed hack yesterday DR.. Stephan
was unable to go yesterday.

Bile in the intcstnes is as important to digcs-
ton as are the gastric juices in the stomach and
bile is only supplied when the liver is in active
condition.
The serious and chronic forms Of Indigestion
are cured by DR.. A. w. Chases Kidney
and Liver Pills because of their influence on
the liver causing good flow of bile to aid
digestion and keep the bowels regular, there
by preventing fermentation of the food, the
formation of gas and all the disagreeable symp-
toms of indigestion.
Long standing cases of chronic indigestion
yield to DR.. A. w. Chase's Kidney and Liver
Pills after all else has failed.
Mr.. F. w. BIGLEy, Murraysville, w. Va,
writes:-"For sixteen years suffered from
