hard time of it. They got only bread
and vegetables to eat, and their cell

Has No Fish Story but
Tells Good One, AnyWa,

R. c. Hoyt, clerk of the United
States court, arrived home this morn
ing from months vacation spent In
Montana and the Pacific northwest
with Mrs, Hoyt.
Il have no fish stories to tell" said
Mr.. Hoyt with great modesty and
supreme self-effacement.
Having said this he Immediately
proceeded to make the following
statement:
AT Arlee we went out fishing ev-
cry single day for nearly month in
the Jocko river. And oh, you ought
to have seen the trout we caught.
We'd take 'em in and cook 'em and
eat all we could, but we had to throw
away the greater part Of them. II
seemed shame. Beautiful speckled
trout they were, and fine tasting. We
just kept pulling 'em out, but there
was sport in it because they're a
game fish. But we certainly did
catch EN-"
Having thus proved that he had no
fish stories to tell, Mr.. Hoyt stated
that the Jocko river flows through
the Flathead Indian reservation,
which is not the reservation from
which all the "fatheads" come.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoyt proceeded from
Arlee to Vancouver and returned by
way of Canada, scheduling their re-
turn trip one day in advance of what
they intended through fear OF a rail-
road strike.

FEDERAL OFFICERS
ARREST SALESMAN
g. E, Gleason Charged with
Impersonating U. s. Sc
cret Service Man.
GIRL APPEARS AGAINST HIM

Charles E. Gleason, a travelling
salesman for a piano house, was ar
rested Sunday by federal authorities
on the charge of impersonating a
United States secret service officer.
Hugh Mills, chief OF the local
United States secret service, was at
work on the case for some time. A
young woman, whose name is being
withheld until she can arrive here
from her home in West Virginia, is
the chief complaining witness. She
knew Gleason for year in Omaha
and says he obtained from her dia-
mond ring worth $500, saying he
wanted to use It to get the size OF her
finger for an engagement She says
they were to have been married the
first OF this year. Gleason told her,
she asserts, that he was in the United
States secret service.
Gleason is said to have a wife and
three children. He lives at 2l3 Pax
ton court. The arrest was made by
Deputy Marshal Quinley at q local
hotel, where Gleason called for his
mail. =.
He Is in the county jail and will
have a preliminary hearing before the
United States commissioner as soon
as the girl arrives from West Vir-
pinia.

Mexican Who Roamed
Wild Near Florence
Is to Be Deported

Plans have been made for the de-
portation OF John Gonzales, Mexican
exponent Of the simple life, who was
nabbed by Deputy Sheriff Musgrave
and the Florence marshal while dis
porting in the open clad only in 2
breechclout.
Gonzales, with the bones in his
right arm sticking through the lac
Grated skin, clings to his cot in the
county Jail and refuses to speak to
other prisoners or to give information
to officers. His few mumbled words
OF explanation to interpreters give a
variety OF reasons for his wanderings.
Since Saturday morning, shortly after
his capture, when he spoke few
words, declaring that he had been in
jured on a railroad at Lincoln, he has
told Others that his arm was sbroken
several months ago at Columbus
Neb., where he says he was in 2 hos
pital for three months. The condi-
ton of his arm defeats the logic Of
this story.
Office Deputy Palmer has made
further investigation and will start
proceedings to have Gonzales de-
ported to Mexico as an undesirable
citizen. He has no means of support,
and is being held on a charge OF
vagrancy in order that he may be
given treatment by the county ply
stefan while detained for immigration
officers.

TRAFFIC MOVING NORMALLY
Railroads Begin Demobilizing Strike
breaker Forces.

New York, Sept. 4.-FreIght traffic
on all roads entering New York inter-
rupted by embargoes due to the fear
OF strike is moving again today on
normal schedule. Railroad men say
that little congestion has resulted
from the brief cmbargoes, Large
quantities Of merchandise had been
shipped Immediately previous to the
issuance OF holdup orders, This being
holiday, shipments will be lighter
than ordinarily on Monday and the
roads will have an opportunity to
catch up with the regular order Of
freight movements,
A task before the railroads Is that
of demobilizing the forces OF strike
breakers assembled last week at con-
siderable expense. A number OF
these strike breakers. 1t Is said, were
employed on contracts which still
have week, and some even month,
to run.
Provision dealers say that the mar
ket will slump during the next few
days because q large quantity Of food
stuffs held by spectators In expecta-
ton OF famine prices will be dumped
on the market.
Union Officials Leave.
Chicago, Sept, 4.-Leaders OF the
four brotherhoods, who were sta
toned in Chicago to direct the threat
ened railroad strike, prepared today
to close their temporary offices. With

.peared Saturday night.

RAILROAD TRAINS
RUN ON SCHEDULE
Business Goes On Just as il
Nation-W Wide Strike Had
Not Been Threatened.
FREIGHT MOVEMENT LIGHT

Railroad trains, both passenger and
freight, are running on regular sched-
ules, and in their movements there is
nothing to indicate that last week
there was even an intimation OF ma
tion-wide strike. Passenger trains do
ing local business are carrying
many people, but the through trains
are practically empty, everything indi-
eating that the long distance travellers
who were away from destinations
have hurried back, and those going
away, have not started.
Local trains, especially those NOV
ing toward the larger cities and to-
ward Lincoln, are crowded. The
Burlington train out Of Omaha at 9:ls
o'clock in the morning had $50 pas
sengers for Lincoln, going to the state
fair. What was true of this tran,
was equally true of all trains running
into Lincoln.
Little Freight Moves.
While freight trains we're run on
regular schedules, they were all light
There was little freight moving, Tha,
going to the country had been sent
out last week in anticipation OF the
strike, and at the country stations but
little stuff had been loaded out since
the strike was declared off. During
the coming week railroad men, how
ever, anticipate heavy run OF busi-
ness, especially in the handling OF
live stock and grain.
Neither jobbers nor railroad OF
| ficials anticipate that there will be
any heavy movement OF merchandise
during the next ten days, or two
weeks They assert that the country
merchants, in anticipation Of the
strike, stocked up heavier than ever
before, and that they will not 10

Buys Heavily.

merchants bought is illustrated by the

While there was considerable trav-
el out OF Omaha on Labor day, there
was fully as much, if not more, in.

CROP PROSPECTS
MOST FLATTERING
Crops Keep Growing and Pas
lures Are Green, with
Plenty Of Rain
OUT OF THE WAY OF FROST

Nebraska crop reports, issued by
the railroads and having to do with
conditions up to the end OF last week,
are out and all indicate a most fiat
tering condition everywhere with the
exception of small area in the CEN
trail part Of the southern portion OF
the state. This area is not TO exceed
seventy-five miles east and west along
the Kansas line and extending up into
Nebraska twenty to twenty-five miles.
The trouble in the area referred to
is due 10 lack OF rain. There the corn
crop, while not totally destroyed, has
been materially injured and will prob
ably not make to exceed half crop.
However, in this erea the small grain
crop was the best ever known, having
matured and been harvested in just
about perfect condition.
Elsewhere in the state, according to
the weekly reports to the railroads,
there has been an abundance of pre-
cipitation, keeping the crops growing
and the pastures green.
Out Of Way Of Frosts.
All over the state, with the excep-
ton of the extreme northwestern por-
ton, corn is practically out of the
way OF frosts and very heavy, in
many localities being better than nor
mally. The stand is good and even
and all through the central portions
il is asserted that farmers are talking
thirty and forty, and some of them as
much as fifty, bushels per acre.
Flowing for next seasons crop OF
winter wheat is we'll along and It is
estimated that in good many coun-
ties of the central and southern sec
tons this work Is SO per cent COM
pleted.
More Winter Wheat Acreage.
Some seeding has been done and
an estimate made places the seeding
at the end of this week at Is per cent.
Everything points to largely in
creased acreage of winter wheat for
next year.
The potato crop that six weeks ago
gave promise Of being short now has
every indication Of being as large, II
not larger, than in former years. This
is particularly true Of the northern
part of the state, the great potato
raising section.
Farmers out In the state are re-
ceiving unusually good prices for
their potatoes now, the spuds fetching
rs cents to 80 cents per bushel at the
stations, Digging for winter has not
commenced and. the potatoes being
sold now are of the early varieties.

Sheep Receipts Greater Than
All Other MartS Combined

Sheep receipts at the local live
stock market on the first day Of the
week were greater than all the rest
of the markets in the couptry COM
bined, including Chicago. The esti-
mate was 1880.
The threatened rail strike made
great inroads upon the run of range
cattle, Labor day usually being the
banner day OF the year in range cattle
receipts. The talent expects a run
Of at least 10000 head OF range cattle
