Captain Streckfus said that he
would rim the boat up into the canal
and the officers could be searching the
boat during the trip up to the first
lock. This the night captain refused
to do, however. Again as Streckfus
shouted an order to haul away the
lines and the deck hands started pull
ing them in, the three officers ran
forward with revolvers drawn and told
the roustabouts to drop the lines.
Through all Captain Streckfus. the
officers claim, acted in very incon-
siderate manner. He, knowing that

To the police and Gate City re-
porter who accompanied the officers
aboard the arrested boat, Captain
Streckfus said that Eddie the young
fellow wanted, was not aboard. The
boat was held for fifteen minutes
while a thorough search of the craft
was made by the four Keokuk police
officers and Deputy Sheriff Thomas,
of Quincy, Adams county.
Quincy officers Arrive.
Last evening at 7:20 Sheriff Thomas
and Assistant County Attorney Arthur
S. Roy of Quincy arrived here and
at once procured warrant to search
the w. w and barge for the escaped
cabin boy who had nearly killed one
of the deck hands, Joe Randall, yes
terday morning in fierce setto. The
aid of the Keokuk police was secured
fore it left by the Quincy officer,
county attorney and one Or more
local police officers.
Captain Streckfus held the of
fcers off with talk. however, until it
was time for the boat to leave, say
ing that Eddie the boat employe
wanted, had gone up town to procure
some salts. After the boat landed,
however, the police as was stated
above, made an investigation of all
parts of the boat and barge but could
find no one who answered the re-
scription of the man wanted.
The Quincy Story Of the Affair.
The Keokuk police officers will keep
lookout for the fugitive employee on
the w. w. and will hold him for the
Quincy police, should he be found
here. Where he went after leaving

landed, is not known. This morning s

by a cabin boy on the same boat yes

GOVERNMENT =
STARTS CONTESTS
Ten Timber and Stone Entries In the
Vicinity Of Roundup Being
Contested BY Government.

J. W. Baker, special agent from
the general land Office at Washing
ton, who has been in the city the
past week, has instituted proceedings
to nuflify ten timber and stone en-
tries which have been made in this
vicinity the past two years. Eight
of the entries are in the immediate
vicinity of Roundup and the other
two near Musselshell, the entrymen
being well known people here. The
entrymen have all been served with
papers and are to appear the fore
part of next month, the cases being
set from December 9Th to 10TH. The
cases will be heard before U. S. Com
missioners Cook and Tyler, of this
place, and Handel of Musselshell.,
The government is bringing the
contests on the grounds that the en-
trymen knew at the time of filing
that the land was more valuable for
the coal deposits thereon than for
else, and it is the desire of
the government to restore this land
to the public domain. Several cases
Of similar nature have already been
heard here. Expert witnesses will be
by the government to show
that the entries were not made in
good faith.-Roundup Record.

LIVE STOCK
Indications Point to 4 Good
Winter for the
Stockmen.

II IS source of pleasure to US to be
able to say that our Montana people
are on easy street so far as wintering
their fat stock is concerned. In no
part Of the state is there any appre.
hension Of loss from the winter. It.
is true that hay commands a big price
but that is governed by our outside
markets rather than by the shortage.
In the irrigated regions of the state
there has been bountiful crop. The
alfalfa crop has been exceedingly good
and the hay all went into the stack
In the finest possible condition. 1t is
neither modify or bleached, but con-
tains all its nutriment, and there is
finer quality of feed than usual,
and stock will eat it up clean, and do
fine on 1t. The Enclosed pasturage is
also very good. Ali Of our meadows
made a splendid fall growth, and
there is finer quantity Of feed than
usual. Another thing to the advantage
of the stockman is that all kinds of
live stock come into the winter in
tine shape and then the autumn and
early winter being mild, everything
is in the finest shape for standing
the snow and the cold later on. Then
another point in the matter of our
farm stock, almost the entire state
is amply provided with shelter for
animals. With the exceptions of our
recently homesteaded prairies, farm.
ers are in fine shape to care for every
living thing and Montana never en-
tered winter with less fear of losses
than in the case this season. The
