ARMY SAFE LOOTED
$1,000 Mysteriously Vanishes
from Quarters at Helena.

Helena. Mont, May 21.-The safe in the
quartermaster's department at Fort Will
lam Henry Harrison was looted some time
between last Wednesday afternoon and
Thursday morning, and $1,000 deposited
nv ihe paymaster to meet the payroll Of
the 2d Battalion. 14th United States In
fautry. has mysteriously vanished. Colonel
Richard Henry Wilson. in command Of the
regiment is here investigating. He has
reported the loss In a brief dispatch TO
Paymaster General George r. Smith at
Washington.
officers OF the post will not discuss the
matter, but court martial is certain
Meanwhile officers and enlisted men of the
battalion are without funds. An emer-
rency payment to meet the loss Will be
made by General Smith. leaving the ques-
ton of accountability to be settled later.
This Is the largest pay loss the army
has sustained since an incident which oc-
Cured during the Filipino Instruction
caused the dismissal and Imprisonment
of an officer of high rank. The safe which
IL is alleged was tempered with. was
deemed proof against both fire and burg
larry. The quartermaster's office is under
constant guard night and day.
Until Colonel Wilson ends his investi-
CATION and sends his report TO the gen.
eral commanding this department and the
chief of the General STAFF at Washington
no information will be given out here.
Colonel Wilson is noted as rigid dis
clplinarian and he is making a thorough
inquiry. An officer OF the inspector gen.
erals department and an assistant OF the
paynaster general are on their way here.
