Must Have Grazing Permits.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Montana
stockgrowers will be interested in a
recent decision of the federal courts in
New Mexico which sustains the au-
thority of the secretary of agriculture
to prevent the grazing of livestock on
the national forests without a permit
from the department. The secretary's
authority is upheld in three cases in
which the defendants had caused or
had permitted livestock to trespass
upon the Alamo national forest in de.
fance of the regulations. These New
Mexico cases are considered by the
officials of the forest service as parti.
cularly timely and valuable because
of the belief which has been current
among stockmen in certain localities
that the regulations of the forest SER
vice In relation to grazing are un-
enforcible.
Secretary Wilson considers that the
effect of the action taken in the New
Mexico cases will be to clarity the
situation materially.

EMBEZZLEMENT IS LARGE.
Langhorne Shortage Over $50, o0C
In Two Years.
Helena Record.

0eAcuo NcCUIV.
According to q report submitted BY
State Examiner Kumpe to Governor
Norris, and by him submitted to the
Legislature with his biennial report,
the embezzlement of Samuel Lang.
horne. Jr., chief clerk until recently
In the Office OF the secretary of the
state board OF stock commissioners,
was approximately s20. 900 for the last
two years. What it vas prior to that
hss not been determined, because of
the fact that the vouchers are missing,
and only by means of work can the
irregularities prior to January, 1909,
be ferreted out.
Governor Norris said today that he
believed it would take fully six months
OF earnest work on the part of an ex.
pert to 60 over the books and records
and check them up, as it will be neces.
sary to fall back on the books of the
commission men in Chicago.
The report Of examiner Kumpe
states that he has been unable to
verify the actual amount of cash re-
ceived and disbursed, for the reason
that the commission houses are in the
habit Of making immediate remittan.
ces for estrays sold in each shipment,
to the secretary Of the state board, for
Identification and dis bur sement to the
real owners
The report deals with the method
used by Langhorne of making out the
checks, of Withholding them from the
mails, forging the original endorse.
ment. and cashing same through local
banks, the parties thus cashing US.
ually endorsing anne with a lead pen
Gil. The lead pencil endorsements
were then erased by the clerk, and the
checks, bearing only the purported
endorsement of the party in whose
favor they were drawn, were then kept
on file as evidence of payment of such
moneys. The idea of the erasure was
to avoid suspicion at the Office, of the
large number OF checks being cashed
through q local source, while the
checks drawn were mostly to out of
town parties.
The report concludes with q recon-
mend alton to secure the services of q
competent accountant to make a com.
plete audit Of the books and records
from the time of its creation to date,
as we'll as a v%erifcation of cash re-
ceipts of the Office made with the
books of the different commission
firms. The examiner states his de.
partment will devise a system of &C.
counting for the Office which will tend
to detect embezzlement of funds, and
enable the examiner to make q more
thorough and comprehensive examin.
alton than is now possible.

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1911-04-26

On Thursday morning shortly before
8 O'Clock 10 the center OF the big cut
in the Fritsche "ravine" about two
and one half miles north of New Ulm
on the M. & St. L. road occurred q
Iamentable railroad wreck which re.
suited in the death of the fireman,
serious injuries to the engineer and .
great material property.loss to the
company.
The train was made up at Winthrop
coming south into New Ulm with nine
cars, loaded mostly with merchandise.
The only cause known is that the
spreading of rails caused the engine
to leave the track. The great speed
at the time the engine left the tracks
forced it to toppel over on its side
when going down the steep embank-
ment. Seven of the nine cars followed
and were literally piled up in heap.
Most of them are beyond.repair.
The fireman Harry Mitchell was
buried underneath the locomotive and
remained there for about thirty
minutes before the train men and Sec

ton men had arrived and with the
assistance of neighboring farmers who
were at the scene of the wreck the un-
fortunate man vas dragged out from
under the heavy machine. The left
leg on which the locomotive had fallen
was fractured and he was also badly
scalded by the escaping steam from
bursted pipes.
The engineer James Schimiger was
caught under the tender of the engine,
the weight causing fracture to his
right leg. He was also badly scalded
by the escaping steam. After some
hard work on the part of the rescues,
the tender was raised sufficiently to
remove the man.
Both fireman and engineer we're
hurried to the hospital in an automo-
bile and everything was done to give
all possible relief to the suffering men.
Conductor G. C.Apple and brake
men Emil Severson and Gus. Olson
had charge of the train and much
credit must be given them for their
heroic work in rescuing the injured
fireman and engineer.
