RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS COM,

ING.
The Chronicle editor received the
following letter from w. F. Cushinz,
secretary of the railroad commissioners,
which explains itself:
Friend Brinton:
The commission has some business
along the line west of the river Friday
and Saturday, out as far as Sentinel
Butte, and it is altogether likely we
will make Beach for the afternoon and
night Saturday. although our plans will
not definitely be made until reaching
Dickinson tomorrow. 1t has occurred
to me that perhaps there might be
something the people of your town
want to talk to the commission about
and that this would be good time
to get action. almost every town having
something to bring up when the COM
missioners are on the ground, regard
less of the fact that no complaints had
previously been filed. If there is moth
ing doing in this line. we will have
all the more time to see you and the
town and the several good friends each
Of us has out there. We are not
looking fir trouble" but are always
ready to be made use Of on call. Hop
ing to see you Saturday-unless some
thing unforeseen occurs to change pres
snt plans. l remain.
Very Sincerely Yours.

CHICAGO DETECTIVES
HERE TO TAKE BACK
FIELDING BROTHERS

That j. c. and A. E. Fielding, broth
ers of Montreal, Canada, now inmates
of the city and county Jail, facing
charge of forgery involving a sum
totalling $500, preferred by financial
institutions at Chicago, H., and Mon
treal, succeeded in caching a substan,
tial amount, is the opinion held by
Detective Sergeant William L. Bush
and Thomas F.. Mcfarland of the Chi
cage bureau, who reached the city
this morning as passengers in the Mat
son liner Wilhelmina for the purpose
of taking the young men into custody
and accompanying them to stand trial
at the Illinois metropolis.
About 1920 was recovered when the
Fieldings were placed under arrest by
Captain of Detectives McDuffie. While
they were supplied with new wearing
apparel, and possessed considerable
jewelry and several suit cases filed
with belongings and trinkets, it is
now believed that these articles do not
represent valuation of more than
$500.
What became of the remainder of
the money alleged to have been fraud
ulently obtained from the Continental
and Commercial National bank of Chi
cago is matter that today is puzzling
the sleuths from the lakeside city.
Bush and Mcfarland stated this
morning that they were properly
equipped with extradition papers from
Gov. Edward P. Dunno of Illinois for
the return of the feelings. ]. c..
Fielding was junior of the Royal
Bank of St Lambert. a suburb of
Montreal. A. L. Fielding is said to
have been trusted employee of a
Montreal insurance company, the off,
cials of which institution allege that
with the disappearance of the young
man they noted the loss of several
blank drafts. A general warning fail
ed to prevent the payment of $4,000 to

man fitting A. L. Fielding in every
particular. - -. -:..:.a .a.. ... II. -~.7
The Chicago officers state that the
boys were the sole support of wild
owed mother living in Canada 1t is
also claimed that the younger, barely
10 years of age, was greatly influ-
enced by his elder brother.
Messrs. Bush and Mcfarland are
much enamored of Honolulu. 1--WE
would like to remain here for some
weeks. but do not see how we are
going to do it." declared Mcfarland
Il believe that we will return to the
coast in the Ventura or the Siberia .
