CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS
Local Police Department Capture Ross
Fork Burglar Saturday.

Upon information received by the
police department of this city from
authorities at Pocatello, Glen Minner
was arrested Saturday afternoon in
this city on the charge of burglarizing
the home of his employer. 1t was only
a short time after the word came to
keep a lookout for such a man Police
Barnard had the man in custody and
the same evening he was taken to the
Gate City where he now rests in the
county Jail. 1t seems that Minner had
been working for Mr.. Blakeslee, who
is one of the attaches of the Ross Fork
Indian agency, and was left in charge
of the family residence while Mr.. and
Mrs. Blakeslee were away for couple
of days on camping trip. During
their absence it is alleged he broke into
their private bedroom, and stole the
plunder consisting of quantity Of sill
verware, suit case, revolver and gloves.
He started on foot for this city.
Being questioned by the local author
tiles he admitted the guilt but refused
to say where he had disposed of some
Of the silverware other than that sold
to the management of the Oliver
House. He was still in possession OF
the suit case, new suit of cloths, revol'
yer and two boxes of silverware.
He represented himself as an agent
for an eastern jewelry firm while dis
posing of the stolen goods, and just
how much he sold we are unable to say
a+ this time.

the dam he can conduct it to the
placer ground, where it will he
used in washing the gravel. Mr.. Rue
ger has been working several years on
his plant. His dam has gone out twice,
and the last time caused heavy loss.
1t is so substantially built this time,
however, that he does not anticipate
further trouble Next year he will be
ready to go after the gold in an ener-
getic manner.
He has garden that shows the pos
sibilities of the soil. From a patch of
gooseberries that does not appear to be
larger than 25x50 feet he has sold 100
gallons of berries, and many were per-
mitted to ripen and waste because of
lack of time to gather them. He is ex-
perimenting in small way, with sew
eral products. For one thing he is try
ing to produce a variety of corn that
will mature and yield well. He began
this two years ago, selecting the best,
most perfect ears for seed. Results
seem encouraging, an improvement be-
noted every year. He has to small
patches this year, from which the finest
ears will be selected for next years
planting In time he expects to de-
velop hardy early maturing variety
which will be profitable to grow as a
regular cron.

Banuuet in M,une.no,,.i

Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 18-Sena- tor Nelson made his first appearance during the Presidents visit, at the ban quet tonight in the auditorium, when he was one of the score of leading guests at the table with the President.
 There were 500 diners on the floor and more than 1000 people in the gal lery.
 Governor Johnson was Co have been one of the speakers at the banquet. A tribute to him by pr. Cyrus Northrop. called for long continued applause
 It was well along toward midnight when MT. Taft arose to speak, and his address was brief. He paid a tribute to Governor Johnson and again urged that Minneapolis and St Paul should be one and inseparable.
 T have no doubt that you are com ing together" he continued, and that you will stand together as one great city of the Northwest"
 The President defined tonight, as he has on several occasions since his trip began. the limitations that are placed upon the President, and asserted that the real power of the country is vested in Congress. and the man at the top usually gets the blame.
 Somethtng has been said here to- night" he went on, about the ruler and the ruled. And 1t always gives me goose-hesh I am not a ruler. am round in form as some of the old ruI- CTS were. but in no other respect have the qualities that go to make up that term"
 The President, branching out from this discussed for a time the modern forms of government and the Consti- tuition. the framers of which, he de- clared, builded more wisely than they knew.
 "If you want to estimate that Constt- tuition as 1t ought to be, I beg you to take 1t up and read 1t and then com pare 1t with the Constitution of the State of Oklahoma" he said. amid laughter.
 Mir Taft declared the Constitution of the country had been found to meet all it's needs and he believed 1t would continue to do SO.

PROBABLE OUTCOME
SITUATION AS IT. IS DEVELOPED
 IN CITY.
E. J. Mahoney May Find . Seat Tn the Council--Two Vacancies
 Are stun Tn

Tho candidacy of Alderman Sullivan for the position of city sexton, coupled with the rumored siating of Alderman Toole to succeed Fire Chief Browder in the event the "Saul ordinance" IS passed over the Mayors veto. win ere ate two vacancies in the city council.
 So certain a-e the politicians that the above slate will Ego" that sue cessors of the two members from the sixth ward are already being sought. The choosing of these new aldermen from the sixth ward is now the most interesting pastime being engaged In by Montgomery politicians.
 D. J. Mahoney Is most prominently spoken of as probable successor or Alderman Sullivan. Mir. Mahoney has many friends in the incoming city council and his strength is well known. Sam Loeb Is also spoken or as Q possible successor to MT. Sullivan. but the odds seem to favor MT. Ma honey at this time. a
 The withdrawal of Alderman Toole from the council seems to be among the more remote contingencies. Ills withdrawal depends entirely upon the outcome of the struggle over the saul ordinance" Should the mayors veto of that measure be overruied by me council next Monday night, 1t IS writ ten on the slate that Alderman Tooie ts to succeed him
 The vacancy his withdrawal from the council will leave probably will be filled by T. F. Harrison. The fact that Mir. Harrison Is a former member of the council lends color to the gos- sip. that, he will again be member of that body.
 A rumor which has all along been denied, that P. ]. Ryan is really the man who will inally be chosen to sue. ceed Chief Browder. now Is apparently taking on new life. Just the reason for the revival of the Ryan strength Is not readily discovered.
 The fate of the Saul ordinance continues to be @ mucb mooted ques- tion which is just now keeping lay man and politician alike up in the air. Tt is known that the friends of the Saul ordinance have all along counted on the support of Alderman Perry. but current gossip now has 1t that Alderman Perry has informed pr. Saul that he cannot vote to override Mayor Teague's veto or that measure. If the rumor Is substantiated it marks the beginning of the end of the fight to oust Chief Browder. Friends or the Saul ordinance have at all times conceded four votes against them. Mayor-elect Gaston Gunter has maue his position against it plain and the acquisition of Alderman Perry gives the opponents of the measure the necessary sitxh vote to uphold the Mayors vote.

 New York, Sept. 1s.-Dr. Lewis Livingston Seaman. one of the Amer ican delegates to the recent Interna- tional Medical Congress at Buda Pest. arrived today on the steamer Cam pania from Liverpool and spoke very enthusiastically of the showing made there by America and success of the congress.
 "The Americans are far ahead of other nations in many branches of sur gerry and medicine" said pr. Seaman, ''as shown by the testimony and ex- hibits at the congress. This is par ticularly so in the case, of appendi- citis. where we excel both in the treat ment of the disease and the technique of the operation"
 Speaking generally, pr. Seaman said 1t was the height of insanity for Americans to go abroad for treat ment by foreign specialists when there are physicians at home who could walk all around" the Euro- pean medical men.
