STOCK RUSTLER
! WAS CAPTURED
ADMITS HIS GUILT WHEN AR
,ss RESTED AND IMPLICATES
TWO OTHERS.

sMarmarth, N. D., Aug. 3O.-An ar
rest which the Billings county authori-
ties believe may result in bringing to
Justice members of an organized gang
OF stock rustlers operating in the Da-
kotas, Montana and Wyoming, was
made at Willard, Mont, yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff Walter Johnson of this
place.
On Monday Johnson received infor-
nation that ten horses had been stolen
from the Sheets and Perigo ranches,
about twenty miles east of Marmarth.
Although the crime was a week old,
the sheriff was able to follow the trail
taken by the herd which was driven
south through the Pine hills and into
Montana, the horses being located in
a pasture on Box Elder creek.
Hudson, a former employe of Sheets,
was suspected and when found at Will
lard confessed the theft, but said he
had been hired to do it by two men
whose records the sheriff is now inves-
tigating.

BAD HAIL STORM
near LANGDON

L4angdon, N. D.. Aug. 30.-A fierce
wind and hail storm from the west
and southwest, travelling east and
northeast swept over Langdon and
this section of Cavalier county. All in
Langdon felt the full force Of the storm
during the twenty minutes that it last
ed, but the. damage that resulted to
crops was most apparent to the north
and south Of Langdon. To the south
through Gordon and Storlie townships,
were losses covering quite an exten-
sive acreage that will run all the way
from one-fourth to one-half Of the en-
tire crop. More detailed reports Of
what the storm has done however
have been received from the neigh
borhood along the toWnline north Of
here between Dresden and Mr.. Carmel
townships, where hail fell with des-
tructive force in a. path of nearly two
miles in width. There are places
where it literally cut the grain stalks
in two and the windows Of farm build
ings in more than one instance were
smashed. So far no loss of stock has
been reported. Among the farms which
received serious damage and loss are
those of:
p. Graft, John Meyer, Frank Sch
winghamer, Frank Schuler, A. Schuler,
Fell Bros, j. Scheistel, VIM. Dew, W.
Rendell, P. P. Schneider, John zeis,

George Reidhammer, Joseph Metzger,
Robert Schill and Chas. Schill. & r
The only three who carried insur-
ance on their crop are stated as be-
ing Henry Montag, Joseph Gapp and
John Hlerbrun, their losses having
been adjusted upon a bass OF so per
cent. Some of those in the path of
the storm have started to pIow under
the destroyed crop and in hardly a
single instance will the loss be less
than half a crop. John Zefs and John
Kartes each have 400 acres that is a
total loss. Others having quite a
heavy acreage are the Schill brothers

Veblen. S. D., Aug. 30.-Town lot
sales at Rosholt, New Ellington and

About $11, 900 worth of town lots

high, but more lots were sold than at
ROsholt, many farmers investing at
New Ellington. The sale at Claire

fewer lots were sold and at lower

Henson was a cunning fellow, and

Of some kind on the Kansas deputy

county Jail here he made an attempt
to convince his jailers that he was in
sane and asked the sheriff to send
the Salvation Army captain to the
Jail as he wished to have a talk with
him about the work of the army. The
sheriff at first was inclined. to think
him insane, but Henson finally stated
that he was ready to accompany
Deputy Sheriff Reeve to Garden City

innocent. = ~ ;H%

confidence, being given the freedom

NAVAL PLANS
ARE STOLEN
Steady Leak Worries Depart

NO CLUE THE TO CULPalT

Data Regarding sattieships and poes.
msn,s Are Not Of Much importance
and Fave No Comm sreiai value.
There have been repeated tnefts Of
plans OF United States battleships
from the navy department Offices iu
Washington This disclosure has
caused a sensation in official circles
The theits have been going on since
the night OF March 4. when certain
plans OF the newest dreadnoughi lhe
Pennsylvania, were stolen from ihe
bureau Of steam engineering Since
that date similar plans Of other ships
have been missed from the same draft
ing rooms.
The fact of the thefts had been kept
a close secret by navy department OH
cials in the hope that the thief migAi
be apprehended. Though it is the opin
ion at the navy department that the
plans were taken BY some one en-
ployed in the building. suspicion has
not yet rested on any individual and
neither has any Of the responsible Of
icers Of the department been cen
sured for the loss Of the plans.
The plans Of the Pennsylvania which
were taken are described as Of little
value in themselves. and il is not
their loss which is causing such par
ticular concern. What alarms Secre
tary Daniels and his associates in the
navy department is the fact that ap
parenly some one is able to steal
highly confidential papers from the
department and get away with them
undetected.
About the only real secret connected
with battlesa:p construction nowadays
is the fire control apparatus"thai is
the electrical devices and arrange
ments by which the firing Of the big
guns is controlled from a central sta
ton. Every nation endeayors to guard
its FIRE control devices from every
other Ofhcers at the navy department
insist. however, that the stolen plans
did not show any Of the details Of the
FIRE control apparatus Of the Pennsyl-
vania
TIE first theft Of plans occurred on
the night OF March 4. It was recalled
that on that evening the navy depart
ment building was crowded with Wis
itors to view the fireworks on the open
parking south OF the building All who
entered the building were supposed to
be known to the watchman at the door
or vouched for by some one known TO

After March 4 other thefts occurred,
among them being the stealing OF du
pIicates Of the Pennsylvania plans
that already had been taken. Plans
pertaining to other ships also have
been taken from the same room in the
bureau Of steam engineering These |
plans all had to do with details Of
deck arrangements and did not per
tain to the guns or hull construction.
As the stolen plans have absolutely /
