GERMANS KNEW OF LETTER.
Wild Stories About 1t Are Explicitly
Denied.

Berlin, Mar. THAT Emperor VII
liam had written a letter to Lord
Tweedmouth, it was learned today,
was known OF a small circle Of Berlin
diplomats before the London Times
published It's statement concerning.
The emperor told several persons
close. to him that he had written To
Lord Tweedmouth, and officials here
continue to scout the rumor that the
emperor tried to influence the British
navy.
The German government thinks
that the publication of the letter
would be the best way to dissipate
the extreme rancor among certain
classes in England. The government
explicitly declines however, to believe
that the articles in the Times and
several other newspapers represent
correctly the feeling Of the English
people. Decisive action on the part
OF the government apparently Is i'm
peded by the emperor's absence at
,Wilhelmshaven.

Critical Lord Esher.

London, Mar. mo fresh light has
been thrown upon the letter Of EN-
peror William to Lord Tweeumouth.
There is great curiosity as to whittier
the first lord Of the admiralty will
read what Emperor William wrote. II
the substance of the letter is inoffen-
sive the language may be SO informal
that the emperor would prefer that
it be not spread before the eyes Of
the people at large. It is still held
today that the immediate cause Of
the emeperor's letter was another
letter written to Lord Esher. who is
q member Of the encourage of king
Edward, to the maritime league in
which he said:
',rhere Is not a man III Germany
from the emperor down who would
not welcome the fall Of Sir John

Sir John is senior naval lord of
the admiralty.

Hugh Cecil Lee, a liberal member
ot parliament, has given notice Of q
question to the premier asking
whether he will consent to lay the
whole Of the correspondence upon the
table and explain fully the circum-
stances and facts connected with the
proceedings"
Several other members have given
notice Of similar question. The IN
cident Of the emperor's letter has
created a sensation throughout Ell

The Observer points out that Lord
Esher, though an amateur naval ex-
pert, officially is deputy governor Of

acres with a total final acreage Of

will be open in time for the fall plow-
ing. This will cover about $4,000
acres and add greatly to the wealth
of eastern Montana.

GRUESOME find
MISS ENsMlRE DISCOVERS BODY
OF MAN ON HER RANCH.
ORRlCK INVESTIGATES
Deputy Sheriff Of Custer Thinks Man
Was Drowned in Yellowstone River
and Body Was Washed Ashore
During High Water.
From Sundays Daily.

From Sundays Daily.
Miss Cora Ensmire, a former resi-
dent Of Billings, and a well: known.
young woman in this city had a rath-
ser gruesOme experience on her ranch
nea Waco, Fridaysmorning in finding
the body Of a dead man, half buried
in the snow.
Deputy Sheriff Orrick Of Custer,
made an investigation yesterday and
wired Coroner Smith that it was his
opinion that the man was drowned in.
the Yellowstone river last summer
and his body washeu ashore on Miss
Ensmire's ranch which is on the
bank of the river.
Miss Ensmire sent word to Billings
Of the finding Of the mans body Fri
day. and yesterday came to the city
herself to notify the coroner Mean
while Deputy Sheriff Orrick had made
an investigation.
In telling Of her experience yester-
day Miss Ensmire said that she and
her sister were preparing to hunt
ducks on the river, and seeing a coy
ote running toward the place where
the body lay, she started that way and
fired a shot at the coyote.
Notifies Neiphbors.
When she reached the spot she
was Mortified to e the body lying
half covered with snow. She notified
several of her neighbors and imme-
diately sent word to Billings by a
man who vas leaving for this city.
She says that 1t was her theory that
the body was washed ashore since
the place where 1t was found was
flooded during the high water last
spring and summer, and the country
was SO thickly settled that it would
be almost impossible for a man to die
Of exposure or freeze to death. She
stated that in all probability she had
observed the body on her ranch be
fore at a distance and thought that
1t was an old burnt log.
Miss Ensmire was formerly con
nected with the cloak and suit de.
partment Of Hayhurst'sN store in Bill
ings and with her brother and sister
moved to her ranch on the reserva
ton about a month ago.
Coroner Smith stated last night
that he would go to Waco Monday
and bury the man.
