Story of Municipal Graft in
Pittsburg is Very Sordid
Tale
AFTER MEN HIGHER UP
Bank Presidents Already Senten-
ced to Penitentiary---Others
to Follow.

Pittsburg, March 23.-The serial
story of councilmanic graft which be.
gan with Captain" Johnny Kleins
ill-advised display Of six $4,000 pills
on the street about two years ago. He
promises another sensation today, the
presentation to the grand jury of JOS
eph c. Wasson's confession. Wasson
: is a former councilman who a few
days ago began the eighteen months
sentence for bribe taking, and who
has decided to tell the district attor-
ney all he knows. This promised to
include some men higher up" The
lnstallments in this stupendous graft
story have been so spasmodic that
synopsis is here presented. Klein's
display of thirty thousand dollars in
bills on the street in June, 1908, ex-
cited the suspicion of Ernest Frey,
harness dealer. He reported it to the
city auditor. The latter told Mayor
Guthrie and he passed it on to the
voters league, to whom the citizens of
Pittsburg are indebted for the prose
cutlon set in motion. Detective
bribery of councilmen in connection
with a fictitious wood-paving plan
started the ball rolling This led into
bank depository conspiracy and 9TH
er forms of graft. The results to date
are: In penitentiary, w. w. Rumsey,
former president of the German Ma
tional bank; William Brand, former
president of the common council;
Joseph c. Wasson, former councilman
and H. L. Bolger; under sentence to
the penitentiary: Former Councilman
John F. Klein; awaiting sentence, E.
H. Jennings, president of the Colum-
bia National bank; F. A. Griffin, cash
ier; under Indictment, forty-one coun-
cilmen; confessors to sbribe sharing,
twenty councilmen, former and pres
ent. The bribes were from $4,000
down to the bargain rate of $s1.1O.
Business Men as Grafters.
Pittsburg, March 23.-Nine other !
grafters confessed their |
guilt to Judge Frazer today. Those
caught in the prosecutors net from
now on, it is said, will be prosecuted.
The material now in the hands of the
district attorney duplicates many /
more persons for grating These it is
reported, will include bankers, manu-
-acturers, and real estate men.

MARSHAL SELLS MINE,
Famous Drum Lumnon Property Goes
Under Hammer.

Helena.-The famous Drum Lum-
mon mine and other claims near here
were sold for $15O,OOO by the United
States marshal to satisfy judgment
in favor Of the st. Louis Mining and
Milling company against the Montana
Mining company, limited, composed Of
London capitalists.
This suit is perhaps the most FAM
GUS in the history of Montana mining
litigation, covering period of more
than twenty years. The case is not
without tragic features, for it was to
argue one phase that former Senator
Brown, of Utah, was in Washington
when he was shot by Mrs. Bradley.
The dispute was as to the ownership
of an exceptionally rich strip lying be-
tween the properties of the two COM
panies and which had been mined by
the Montana company for some time
The st. Louis company secured judg-
ment for $205,O0O for this illegal ex-
traction, and to satisfy it the sale was
made. The st. Louis company will
resume operation within that territory
Immediately, although the Montana
has a year in which to redeem the

SEER AND MAN HELD,
Couple Suspected Theft Of Baby's
Body In Montana.

Great Falls. - Alice Locker, twenty
three years old, employed in local
laundry, and Edward Locker, 25, sup.
posed to be Der husband, are prison
ers in the local Jail, held in connection
with the mysterious grave robbery
three month ago which resulted in
the disappearance of the body Of the
infant grandson of w. G.. Conrad, one
of Montana's most prominent bankers.
The charge is completely in the theft.
The missing body has not been re.
covered. The officers held the theory
that many are implicated in the case
and are still working on clues that
have been picked up. The story to
date reads not unlike that of the fam.
GUS Cudahy case.
fairfield Conrad, the father, re-
ceived letter some time ago advising
him that by calling on the writer he
would receive information as to the
whereabouts of the stolen body. He
called and found Mrs. Locker. She
proved an expert at card reading and
told him enough to convince him that
she was either strong on the mystery
OF the cards or knew much more about
the robbery than she cared to admit.
The worried father went to see her
several times and finally was told that
he would receive letter which would
tell him how he might regain the body
on the payment of $4,000.
The letter came and he was directed
to drive on the Sand Coulee road with
a lantern so fastened to the dashboard
of his buggy that it would shine full
in his face.
A deputy sheriff who resemble
fairfield Conrad, was chosen to take
his place for that night drive.
All directions were followed, ex-
cept that number of officers followed
in the wake of the carriage. Two men
fully armed met the carriage at the
appointed place. One peered into the
deputy's face.
you're not Harfield Conrad" he
said. The other looked and after a
searching glance, held up his gun and
ordered the deputy to drive on in a
hurry, cor you'll get your head blown
off,
The other officers came up quickly,
but found no traces of the pair nor
were the bloodhounds which were put
on the trail any more successful.
The robbery of the grave took place
in the night of Nov "a at Highland
cemetery. The Dissertation of the
grave and the theft Of the child's body
were discovered when a party went to
the cemetary to attend a burial.

Boston, in the interests of health
and economy, is being provided with
odorless garbage wagons. One of
these wagons is already in use. 1t
consists of steel frame on four
wheels, containing three cylindrical
ta1hs which rest upon trunnions. In
Form the tanks are somewhat like
milk cans, greatly enlarged, each tank
having a capacity of one ton of gar
bage. To the lid of each is attached
a lever, which. in turn. is connected
by a chain with hinged portion of
the footboard. resembling a treadle,
upon which the men stand to empty
their pals. AS the attendant steps
upon the treadle, his weight raises the
cover, and when he steps of after
emptying his load the released lever
pulls the lid down again. The load
being divided into three parts, only
one-third is exposed at time, and
then only momentarily.

DISTEMPER IN YOUNG HORSES
Disease Is Infectious and Generally
Found in Animals Under Five
Years of Age.

(BY B. n KAUPP, COLORADO AGRI-
CULTURAL COLLEGE.)
Distemper, or strangles, is a dis
ease principally affecting young
horses. It Is due to germ be-
longing to the streptococcic group.
The disease is accompanied by high
fever, catarrhal inflammation of the
mucous membranes, especially of the
nasal passages, and as a result of
this condition, a discharge from the
nose. There is swelling of the lymph
suits In abscess formation.
A horse with distemper can com.
municate it to healthy one.
The germs are found in the dis.
charge from the nostrils and in the
pus from the abscess which forms
under the jaw and later breaks.
The majority of cases of distemper
occurs before the age of five years.
The constitutional disturbances
caused by the shedding of the teeth,
and cutting same, as we'll as impure
air in poorly ventilated stables, over
worked and poorly fed animals, are
factors that weaken the resistance
and make infection possible to pro
duce the disease.
The disease Is more common in the
spring and fall of the year, particu-
larly the former, on account of the
chill received at these seasons of the
year.
The disease can also be transmit
ted from dam to offspring through the
milk
The animal usually develops the
disease in from three days to three
weeks after being exposed to the
contagion.
Animals affected with distemper
should not be sold. Young animals
should not be brought in contact with
those affected nor watered out Of the
same bucket, nor come in contact
with any other property until it has
been thoroughly disinfected. An ami
NAL should not be castrated while
suffering with strangles.
A vaccine made from the specific
germ causing this disease is prepared
in the laboratory of the veterinary de-
partment of the Colorado Agricultural
college.

last of June, to find that the commo-
'dore and general had at last found
something worth wrangling about.
1t had been discovered that a GER
tain cherry tree that gave promise of
a great yield stood about on the line
between their two residences. That
is, they agreed on the "about," and
then each claimed it was on his line.
They began in argument and ended
in an uproar.
The commodore secured the serv-
Ices of surveyor, and the man of the
chain and theodolite found that the
tree stood full inch on the naval
mans land. Then the general
brought out another surveyor, and aft
er two surveys it was found that the
tree was his by two inches.
"Egad, but I'll go to law" exclaimed
one officer.
And I'll defend my rights with a
shotgun" exclaimed the other.
Each one announced and declared
and commended that 1t was the prin-
ciple of the thing and not the cherry
tree he had at stake, and each one
had purchased the wire to run fence
along and take in the tree. Thus mat
ters stood when the young folks came
home for the summer vacation.
