Will II. Poe, former city auditor Of
the city Of Williston, was captured in
the foot hills near the Montana line
southwest of Wiliston Friday by
Sheriff Olson and posse, and returned
to that city, distance of 1920 miles
that night, by automobile.
Poe had made a desperate effort to
escape, but the willy sheriff and his
band of man-hunters were too much
for the foxy Virginian.
Poe had spent the day in the Men,
MONTE settlement, under the guise Of
a deputy sheriff, and was protected
by telling the members of this re-
ligious sect that he was deputy
sheriff looking for horse thief. He
saw Olson coming half mile away,
and started on run for a ravlne.
Olson left his auto and started after
Poe on foot, shooting at him with a
rifle, but Poe kept on running. Sid
Bennett, deputy sheriff from Sidney,
Mont, started after Poe from another
direction with a posse on horse back,
and he too shot at the fleeing man.
Poe soon gave up. During his ride
to Williston he refused to talk
He entered a plea of guilty in dis

Philippine Treasurer
Writes Father
Chas Olson Tells of Interesting Experiences in Uncle Sam
Men Garry Large Sums of Money

A letter received by Olaf A. Olson
from his son Charles, treasurer OF
the province of Benguel, Philippine
islands. is Of much interest and is as
follows: #
In a letter to you some time ago,
I said there was going to be change
in this providence by making it q
sub-province that would do away
with my job. This change takes
place tomorrow. The new big prov
ince is called Mountain province with
the capital at Bontaa soms $50 miles
north Of Baguio. ''
g While in Baguio, my salary has
been $500 per annum, and the sal
ary for the treasurer of the new
province will be $2500 year. The
new position was offered to me on
condition that l postpone my trip to
the states until after July, 1910. I
had made up my mind to take my
vacation next July, but accepted the
new appointment, and 1t will go IN
to effect tomorrow.
suppose most peopie can Imagine
what a treasurer is supposed to do.
Collect all the money and distribute
it all, and see that you collect enough
to pay all running expenses. In
Benguet l had fifteen towns that /
had to be responsible for.
The treasurer is also the Internal
Revenue officer, register OF deeds,
Mining Recorder, Justice of the
Peace, member of the provincial
board, and probably some other
things that l don't think of just now
The government is building me a
new house in which to live. am
furnished quarters by the govern
ment free in addition to my salary
All Of Manila is in Baguio again, and
the place is just run over with autos
There must be fifteen or twenty
autos in town."
In a letter received recently and
dated May 2, Mr.. Olson says:
1 just closed my work for April
and paid out $4,000 during the
month. The government expects to
furnish us with some motor cycles
soon, as the roads are too narrow FOL
anything but a pony, but wide
enough for motor cycle, If you
are careful.
We already have a steam launch
for the north Of the province, where
there are not even trails, but the
travelling has to be done up river
I have not been to the northern part
of the province and do not expect
to go until December, as the rainy
season will begin soon, and 1t Will
be almost impossible to get there.
