Detroit, Mich, Sept. 9.-Dr. Geo.
A. Fitch, a well known physician,
was arrested ON suspicion of murder
ing Maybelle Millman, whose dis
membered body was found in two
sacks in Ecorse creek.
Martha Henning was taken in
custody as a witness.
The arrest followed the hurried
return of the sheriff from Ann Ar

with the telegram from Washington
authorizing the submission of the
records of the Ann Arbor postoffice
to the sheriff.
This is anxiously awaited in the
hope that the records might show
who sent the money which Miss Mill

ago.
Extraordinary efforts for secrecy
were made when the sheriff was
summoned from Ann Arbor this
evening.
Miss Henning and Fitch were both
questioned half an hour, then the
doctor was taken into a separate
room, and the girl subjected to fur
Their questioning. Miss Henning
was then taken to the matron' 5
room for the night, and the doctor
placed in a cell.
Fritch was previously arrested in
connection with the mysterious
death of Edith Presley, a proof
reader in the state senate, who died
under suspicious circumstances in
Detroit in 1907. Two criminal
prosecutions were started after the
Presley tragedy, and when the case
against a member of the legislature
was discontinued for lack of evil
dence, the case against Fritch which
depended much upon the obtaining
of the conviction of the legislator,

fine Range CONDITIONS
Western Stockmen No Longer Take
Chances of Big Losses Through
Hard Winter.

The letter received by the Demo-
crat this week from Clay, Robinson
& Co., stock commission men of Chi
cago, relative to market conditions, is
of especial interest to the readers in
this county as it tells of a record
breaking sale by Fergus county
stockman.
Waite Sells Some Dandies.
The shipment in question was sent
by J. D. Waite, president of the Bank
of Fergus County. The cattle
weighed, as stated, l,4Ol pounds each
and brought $3.50 per cwt. or $1Os
each. This is the highest price ever
received for range cattle on the Chi
cago market.
The weekly letter from Clay, Rob-
inson & Co., is as follows:
Chicago, Union Stock Yards, Oct.
2l.-All of our advices from the
western range states tell the same
story-excellent range conditions, an
abundance of good hay put by, and
grass curing nicely for late fall and
winter feed. Cattlemen and flock
masters do not propose to be caught
mapping this winter like last, when
weather conditions were exceptionally
severe and lasting, and in many cases
most of the prepared feed was used
UP before the stock could we'll exist
on the spring growth of grass. This
accounted for the heavier loss of cat
tie and sheep than for many years.
The rangeman who is provided with
a suffciency of feed and is economical
in the use of the same will not only
have less cause for worrying over

severe winter weather, but will have
his stock in better condition in early
spring. 1t is much better and safer
to have surplus of feed on hand late
in the spring than to have an insult
hciency.
Montana Cattle Make Record Price.
Marketing of western range cattle
last week was 10000, against 21,50O
the previous week and $4,000 the cor
responding week of last year. Re-
against 221, 200 the like period of 1908.
There was price advance of lOc to
l5c for the week for beef steers. She
stock gained like amount early in
the week, but the strength was lost
later on. The ]. D. Waite.1 ,4O1 pound
beeves from Montana were sold by
Clay, Robinson & Co. at the record
price of $3.50 for rangers. Bulk OF
steers went at $485 to $5.75 and
most cows and heifers at $375 to
$475.
For the week thus far selling of
most beef steers was l0c to Csc low
er than late last week. Cows and
heifers lost 15c to Csc.
Enormous Run of Sheep.
Marketing of sheep and lambs last
week totaled 175,000, second largest in
the history of the yards and within

ex-governor TOOLE
NOT A CANDIDATE
GREAT MONTANAN HAS NO
ASPIRATIONS TO GO TO U.
S. SENATE.

Although it is over year before
the legislature will assemble to choose
a successor to Senator Thomas Henry
Carter in the United States senate,
much speculation is rife in political
circles as to the possible aspirants for
that place in case the democrats win
the legislature.
Many have predicted that former
Gov. J. K. Toole, the idol of Mon
tana democracy and one of the great
est men in the West, would be can
didate. This rumor was finally dis
posed of by the following statement
by Governor Toole last Saturday:
1t was because I wanted to retire
from politics that resigned the gov
ernorship of Montana. l do not think
the United States senatorship or any
other public office would tempt me to
again enter politics. / am through.
l want to take rest before starting
in to work again. We hope in Mon
tana that the legislature will send a
democrat to succeed Senator Carter.
but there is no telling what will ha,-
pen. The best that can be said of
Montana is that it is very doubtful
state. l would not venture predic-
ton as to the complexion of the leg
islature, because it all depends upon
the immigration. Montana's voting
population is so evenly divided that
it can easily be swung one way or
the other by the voters who go into
the state from time to time. Thou
sands of persons are focking into
Montana, attracted by the promising
agricultural lands that can be pur-
chased at comparatively low figures.
and the political future of the state
depends largely upon what section the
majority of the new corners hail from.
Montana will become one of the
richest states of the west" added
Governor Toole, "for not only is it a
great mining state, but it is rapidly
becoming a great agricultural state.
Dry farming and irrigation have done
wonders in an agricultural way. It
was not more than Is years ago that
people looked upon Montana only as
a mining state. but the wonderful sue

Denmark, the sovereign, King Fred
erick VIII being especially attentive.
The Americans attitude made a
most favorable impression upon the
Danish people. He appeared to ac-
cept his honors, not as a tribute to
himself personally but as a mark of
friendship and good will toward his
country, the United States. He will
ingly submitted to searching examina-
ton by the foremost scientists of Den
mark and all united in saying that
he was without doubt the discoverer
of the North pole. There are scores
of men in that northern country who
have made expeditions into the region
where Doctor Cook prepared for his
dash to the pole and in convincing
these peope of the truthfulness of his
story, the American laid the founda-
tion for that confidence which the
people of Denmark have in the gen.
uineness of his polar exploit.
Fast Trip Across Ocean.
Billy left the coast of Denmark on
September 22nd and was in Billings,
Montana, October 4th. He was
aboard the Mauretania when that
monster passenger boat made a new
record between Queenstown and New
York, the trip across the Atlantic re-
quiring but four days, twelve hours
and fifteen minutes. To those who
have never had the experience of a
trip across the big pond, some figures
relating to this ship will be of interest
The Mauretania is 700 feet long, 88
feet wide, so feet deep, has displace-
ment of $4,000 tons and her engines
develop $4,000 horsepower. She car
ries very comfortably, $500 passengers
in addition to her regular crew Of $50
men.
Sees Hudson Celebration.
The Lewistown man played in an
other piece of rare luck by landing at
New York just in time to see the fes-
tivities incident to the great Hudson
Fulton celebration He says that it
seemed that the banks Of the Hudson
river were lined many layers deep with
people all the way from New York
to Albany.
Billy talks most Interestingly Of the
various European countries. England,
he says, seems to be experiencing a
period Of very depressing times while
the very opposite is the case in Ger
many. And despite the natural al
lurements which old friends and boy
hood scenes hod, he says that he was
glad to get back to- his adopted coun-
try in America and will bring his chill
dren back here as soon as they have
completed their educations.

cess of our farmers has shown that
that can be produced any
where else can be grown in Mon
tana, and as the state is encouraging
the settlement plan, we probably have
a greater number of immigrants than
any other state in the union at this
time. Jim Hill stated the truth not
long since when he declared at the
state fair that he had never seen any,
where finer collection of food pro-
ducts than was displayed at that ex-

TREAT IN Store FOR
LEWISTOWN FOLKS
GRAND CONCERT SCHEDULED
FOR MIDDLE OF NEXT
MONTH.

What promises to be the most de-
lightful musical entertainment ever
given in this city by local talent is the
grand concert scheduled for Wednes-
day evening, November II, at the
opera house, when the Haller or
chestra, with Miss Ruth Waite, Mrs.
f. A. Long and other solo vocalists,
will appear.
The arrangements for this concert
were completed week ago, but the
musicians would have ample oppor-
tunity to master the program of en-
tirely new selections. The work of
the orchestra will prove delight and
surprise to all lovers of music. The
new organization is composed of the
pick of local talent and each member
of it is soloist so that there will be
plenty of variety in the instrumental
work. 1t is composed of T. P. Haller,
the wellknown pianist, leader; Mr..
Kenney, whose work on the violin has
more than once delighted Lewistown
audiences; Mr.. Snyder, who is a
master of the cornet; Mr.. Williams,
who seems to possess the magic flute
of fiction, and Mr.. Hosh, violincelloist.
Nothing need be said of Ruth Waite,
whose marvellous soprano has so often
charmed Lewistown audiences, except
that her voice is now fuller and richer
than ever. There will be other fea-
lures and altogether program quite
out of the ordinary will be offered.
Those promoting the project are
doing so only to promote good music
and of course all lovers of the divine
art are encouraging it in every way.
With such veritable feast of good
things as this entertainment will nro-
vide, a crowded house may confident
ly be looked for on the evening of
Nov. II.

William H. Granzow, Engineer at
Spring Greek Mine, Returns From
Copenhagen.
ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME
Danish People, Including Sovereign
and Scientists, Accord Explorer
Great Honors.

At least one Lewistown man has
seen Doctor Frederick Cook, the now
famous discoverer of the North pole,
and that at the time of the noted
Americans first great triumph upon
his return to civilization. Billy Gran
zow, for several years engineer at the
Spring Creek coal mine, is the man,
and he related a most interesting
story to the Democrat relating to the
great reception rendered the Brooklyn
man by the people of Copenhagen.
Took Children Back Home.
Billy left Lewistown the 18th of
July with his three children for Copen-
hagen, Denmark. Mrs. Granzow died
over year ago and the father found
that he was unable to look after his
work and give his childre: the proper
educational advantages in this coun-
try. He, therefore, took them back
to the home of his mother in the old
country where they will be educated
in the best schools in that progressive
nation.
He sailed from Montreal on the
Cassandra. After being out for a few
days, some one asked the Lewistown
man if he would not like to go down
and see the stock in the hold. 1t was
the first time that he knew that there
were any stock on board and his sur
prise may be imagined when he was
aiken down and shown 900 head of cat
tie. He landed at Glasgow and spent
some time touring that country, after
which he crossed the North Sea to
his old home
Sees Doctor Cook.
1t was while he was in Copenhagen
that Doctor Cook arrived and Billy
saw the noted explorer. He says that
every possible honor was paid the
famous American by the people OF
