In anticipation of the passage OF a
pcblic building bill at the coming
session Of Congress, statistics have
been prepared sho wing the tuatlon
in West Virginia an regard to the
sites already purchased and pro-
posed new buildings. It is shown in
this statement that provision has
been made for the purchase of sites
at Buckhanon. sistersville, Philippi
and Elkins, but that no provision
has been made in any OF these cities
for the erection OF buildings
While it can NOT be stated that
appropriations Will be made at the
coming session OF Congress for
buildings for cities where lots have
been obtained. in advance of other
places which have no sites ready.
At the present time, there fore. 1t
would seem probable that the cities

ing session Of Congress for the con-
struction Of their new postolnce

Colorado by Sheriff Orrick, who To-
Gated him in that country after a

Wright Harvey who is charged joint
~ with Kirchof was arrested on his
ranch in Musselshell county yester-
day by deputy sheriff and brought
to Billings. The warrant under which
the men were arrested was issued in
January, 1911, and as Harvey is a well
known rancher of Musselshell county
and the officers felt sure that he could
be found at any time, his arrest was
not effected until Kirchof was found.
1t is understood that Kirchof told
Sheriff Orrick he is glad that he has
been taken in custody and returned
to Montana to answer the charge as
he had grown tired of lodging the Of
ficers.

BOHEMIAN HAD SMOOTH
SCHEME TO MAKE MONEY
"Registered" the confiding Ones for

"Registered" the confiding Ones for
Homesteads and Collected SIS.
Lewistown, April 27.-Joseph Ko-
hout, Bohemian, was arrested here
today on felony charge preferred by
Frank Noventy, fellow countryman.
Kohout came here few months ago
and shortly afterwards began adver.
tising in Bohemian papers in the east
that by the payment of SIS he could
register" any person on homestead
in the Judith Basin country. His plan.
he told possible victims, did not re.
quire any residence on the land, or
even to see. it personally. All that
was necessary was to send him the
SIS when he would register the man
sending it and shortly the land would
be his.
Soon the money began to come in
and Kohout was in fair way to make
nice cleanup until Noventy wrote to
the land office describing certain land
he had been registered" on, and ask
ing for information This led to 10
hout's arrest.
