MoLLER ENoULFED in
WATERS OF YELLOWSTONE.
RIDING ON RAFT
Companion Regains Raft and Reaches
Shore Ia safety-Wsre Drumming
Their Way Through Countryside
Cured Last Sunday.

Coroner Herman Smith received
word Sunday night from Huntley to
the effect that a nan named Harvey
Moller was drowned In the Yellow
stone river near that place last Sun
day afternoon, while he and a com
panion, who escaped, were drifting
down the river in a raft. Moller's
body has not been recovered and high
water in the river makes its imme-
date recovery doubtful
Moller and his companion, whose
name has not been a~scertained, found
a raft at Lockwood and decided that
travelling by water would be as good
as any other route. Their voyage to.
within a short distance Of Huntley
was uneventful but at the mouth Of
old Pryor creek they struck a snag
or rather dam, which the Northern
Pacific had thrown in the river there
to keep the water from cutting into
the bank. When their craft struck the
dam both men were standing up on
the raft and were thrown into the
water. Moller was unable to swim,
but his companion soon regained the
raft and Mooler foated about SO
yards down stream before he sank to
the bottom. Several persons stand
ing on. the river bank saw him drown.
Attempt to Recover Body.
The man who escaped left the raft
"a short distance further on by jump
ing on another dam which the rail-
road company has thrown part way
across the river and made his way to
Huntley, where he reported the at.
fair. &C.
Deputy shl,erin George kinnick and
several residents Of Huntley made an
endeavor to recover Mol1er's body.
using dynamite and other we'll known
methods to do this, but their efforts
were fruitless, and they abandoned
the work yesterday.
Moller's companion states that they
were cumming their way through the
country and had but 81 between
them and that. Moller carried the
pocketbook with this money in it. He
says that when Moller suggested rid
ing the raft down the river he OBJ
jected but Moller persuaded him tina
there was no danger and that HI
knew the Yellowstone River from
source, to outlet, declaring that he hat
worked in the park and had handled
RATS in the Philippines. A small
amount Of money was contributed b!
citizens Of Huntley to the man Wit
escaped.
Moller's relatives live at Eldorad'
iSprings, Mo-, and have been notifies
Of his death. No answer has been re
ceived from them.

not only a menace to the business of
the country, but was the medium of
more extortion than any other instru-
of commerce. l therefore
led the fight for a statute which would
forbid the issuance of any capital stock
until paid for at par in cash. or if paid
for in property, that the value of the
property should be fixed by an impair
tial tribunal. The last general assem-
bly, adopted this view, and henceforth
the fair name of Iowa will not be
stained by the crime of high finance
so conspicuous elsewhere. l earnestly
hope this reform will not be confined
to our comm onwealth. Whatsoever
can dc to bring interstate corporations

gress of the United States, intend to
do, and if, there be a republican any
where who believes that the riotous
carnival of DISQUALIFICATION which
we have witnessed in the last decade

who will denounce me as an unsafe
leader
'For years have been stirring up
the people. for law that would make
it crime for any corporation to con-
tribute anything whatsoever for po-
litical campaigns, and the same gem
eral assembly put an end forever to
this practice in the state of Iowa. I
am not vainglorious enough to assert
that my voice was potential, {but
am willing to accept the responsibility
for it. and the man who believes that
the corporations should: corrupt can
didates and Influence elections ought
to look out for some other leader.
