came away empty handed through the
blunder of the drunken member of the

amount OF new evidence. Each new
item is bringing the officers nearer to
their quarry, and 1t Is believed that one
or more of the desperadoes will be un-
der arrest within IL hours.

at a Butte store on Friday have been
found, and warm clue as to the
identity Of the automobile used in the
escape is being followed.

The proposed wrestling match be-
tween George Steif and Irslinger, the
latter the European middleweight
champion, has been declared off. I'm
der the first arrangement the match
was to have taken place here, but
Irslinger, who has been wrestling at
Butte for some time, wanted Butte
man for referee, Mcintosh being
named. Steif, while anxious to meet
Irslinger. decided that he did not wEnt
Butte referee and suggested that the
audience select the referee. This was
not satisfactory to Irslinger, who in.
sited on Mcintosh or no match.

A New Counterfeit.

Washington, July 25.-The discov-
cry OF a new counterfeit five dollar
Indian head" silver certificate was
announced by Chief w. j. Flynn of
the United States secret service. The
spurious note apparently is printed
from crudely etched plates on fair
quality bond paper, with Ink lines to
initiate the silk fibre of the genuine.
The Indian portrait is very poor and
the back of the note is grass green in
color, little attempt having been made
to initiate the lath work.
Chief Flynn said this counterfeit
should not deceive the ordinarily care

BIG LAND DEAL.

One Hundred Thousand Acres Near
HedgesvilIe Bought by Company.
Hedgesville, July 24.-A tract OF
100000 acres Of Northern Pacific land
in this district has been bought by a
Chicago company. This means the
sale of all the Northern Pacific land
within radius of 20 miles of Hedges
vile. It is now a certainty that this
land will soon be retailed to actual
settlers. Hedgesville will derive
much benefit from the colonization of
this tract. Presuming that the aver.
age amount of land purchased by each
settler will be 200 acres, it will mean
500 families or about 1000 persons
who will locate in this district.

MONROE DOCTRINE
GETS ROOSEVELT
INTO TROUBLE
Former President Clashes With
Chilean Diplomat at
a Banquet.
Associated Press.

Washington, d. c., Dec. "a
Members of the diplomatic corps,
especially representatives from the
South American countries. were
greatly interested in a report reach
ing Washington today that former
President Roosevelt and DR.. Marcial
Martinez, at one time Chilean min
lister to the United States, has clash
ed in Santiago de Chile on account of
divergent views on the Monroe doc
trine. The Chilean is reported to
have dissented strongly from the
Roosevelt view that the much dis
eussed doctrine is still vital issue.
The reported debate attracted un-
usual interest here because both of
the prepared speeches were reviewed
before delivery by the Chinese for
eign office. DR.. Martinez, it was
said tonight at the Chilean legation,
was selected because OF his strong
friendship for the United States as
the spokesman OF the Chilean gov
ernment at the state reception given
the American visitor recently at the
University of Santiago.
In his address at the Roosevelt
reception DR.. Martinez characterized
the Monroe doctrine as dead issue,
arguing that conditions which gave
rise to its PRONUNCIATION by President
Monroe in 1923 had almost entirely
disappeared.
This statement is said to have
aroused the ire of Colonel Roosevelt,
who replied with some heat, holding
that the Monroe doctrine still was a
vital principle of the foreign policy
of the United tSates. He is said,
too, to have suggested to the Chilean
diplomatist that it was i'll advised on
such an occasion to inaugurate a
controversy.
Then Colonel Roosevelt, according
to report. said that before leaving
the United States the texts of the ad-
dresses he proposed to deliver in
Brazil, Argentine and Chile had been
submitted to the diplomatic represen-
tatives of these, nations in Washing
ton, to avoid the inclusion OF any
thing that might prove offensive to
his hosts. To this Dr.. Martinez is
said to have replied that his own
address had been submitted to the
Chilean foreign office three days be-
fore Colonel Rooseyelt's arrival and
shat as no objection had been raised
in that quarter he could see no rea-
son why the discussion of the Mon
roc doctrine should be avoided as a
dangerous issue.
Nothing official has reached the
Chilean legation here concerning
any phase of what diplomatists are
inclined to consider delicate situ-
alton.
