Evans, from whose custody
McCracken once escaped by a
ruse. after being on his honor,
was unfortunate not to be in on
the final capture. having been
called home by the illness of his
wife, but he was with the man
hunters through all their travels
and helped to unravel the trail.
Richardson and McCarty were
camped Wednesday morning a
couple of miles away from the
McCracken ranch. They had
been holding a vigil of nearly
two days without seeing any
signs Of McCracken and were
almost come to the bilief that he
was not at home. Wednesday
morning Richardson pulled out
his field glasses and discerned a
horse, a brown which he thought
he recognized as one that was
stolen from rancher in Moor
croft, Wyoming. The detective
concluded that where the horse
was McCracken also and they
started to work up carefully to-
wards the house, keeping out
Of sight as much as possible.
Finally McCracken came out
Of the house and took cautious
observations. Then h wen
back. Then he came out again
and milked the COW. The officers
were not close enough yet to
make an attempt at arresting
him ane they gradually worked
up closer. McCracken next sent
his boy, who has been a great
help to him in previous pinches,
out to look around. The boy
went in locality where McCarty
was but did not detect him.
At length McCracken came out
to feed the hogs. While he was
engaged in this occupation Rich
ardson manage to get within
about Is feet Of him. He threw
down on him with his gun and
then called "ThroW e m up,
Mack. :" McCracken turned round
astonished and at a glance saw
that there was no use of attempt
ing flight Or resistance and yield
ed without debate, especially as
McCarty appeared on the scene
from another quarter and the
hopelessness of resistance was
evident. Miles City Star.

rainfall was recorded at the local
weather station. The storm also
showered some hail. not very
large ones but good supply of
the size it had in store. Nor did
uhe rain let up. Ever since, it
has been cold, disagreeable and
fogy with good shower every
now and then. 1t was the heavi-
est fall of moisture of the season
and filled all water holes through
ont the country, a welcome sight
to the stockmen.
The Battle Cry of Peace" was
shown at the Play House both
Monday afternoon and evening
and proved itself the great play

heavy rain storm that arrived in
the late afternoon, making the
roads almost impossible. A large
delegation from Camp Crook and
other nearby places started for
Ekalaka to attend the show but
were caught in the storm and
forced to return to their homes.
1t was little hard luck for the
Play House. but the management
promises that the best their is

Richardson Tells
OF The Capture
Gives The Facts Regarding The
Arrest of McCracken
Last Week.

VIII. MCOTdCkeN, WHO Has UeeIl
sought for four years by officers
of North and South Dakota,
Wyoming and Montana on the
charge of horse stealing, is at
last safe behind the bars of the
Custer county Jail.
McCracken was arrested about
$50 Wednesday morning at his
ranch on Thompson creek, in the
south end Of Custer county, by
Stock Detective w. 4. Richard
son, assisted by Stock Detective
VIM. E. McCarty. He was taken
completely by surprise and had
no opportunity to pull a gun or
make a break, as not over 25 feet
from him stood Detective Rich
ardson with his eye sighted along
wicked looking rifle and with a
smile on his face inviting him to
Throw 'em up" which invita-
tion Mr.. McCracken promptly ac-
cepted. McCarty was close at
hand and the two quickly made
their prisoner secure from escape
and took him to the house.
Mrs. McCracken at first was
inclined to be wrathful and sar-
castle. You must be hunting
for bear," she said. do you
carry these all the time?" (mean-
the artillery.
"You said it," laconically re.
piled Mr.. Richardson.
Mrs. McCracken finally cooled
off and accepted the situation
with what calmness and good will
she could and prepared a good
breakfast, after which the Of
ficers brought their charge to
Miles City.
The specific charge on which
McCracken is wanted is the steal
ing of three head of horses from
the Archor outfit, in Fallon
county three years or more ago,
but the place was at that time in
Custer County. He is believed
by Detective Richardson and De-
putty Frank Evans of Fallon
county, who is also in the city,
to have stolen himself or in COL
lusion with others at least 300
head of horses from ranches in
four states.
Detectives Richardson and Nc
Carly and Deputy Evans have
been on his trail for several
weeks past, following him thru
Wyoming and drawing closer to
to him. For 13 days they slept
and for 13 nights they rode and
for the last 36 hours preceding
the capture they were out of pro-
visions and Richardson had the
good luck to shoot jackrabbit.

let up on their demand. The fact
that Wilson didn't intervene in Mex
lea, and the further fact that he has
bound the Americas together in
closer union than ever before, may
have had it's influence on Germany's
present attitude. The entente allies
at no time needed our navy or our
army. They did need our manufac-
turing, agricultural and financial re-
sources. These they have had, and
have now. In one way or another
we will have to help pay the cost of
the war for democracy, but history
will not record the story, ultimately,
that we played the craven's part and
thought only of dollars. 1t may be
we have done all that we could do.
At any rate, the chances now are
against a revival of Won TiTpitz
frightfulness, with broken pledges to
force us openly into the war on the
side Of democracy. There was that
danger. An abrupt affront to Ger
many after her peace proposal very
likely would have forced us into the
war. Wilson's peace note to the
allies may have saved the situation.
Notice how South America and the
few European neUtrals are falling in
line. There will be blufing back and
forth between the warning groups,
and lots of bunk fed to the people
through the newspapers, but peace
is coming and Wilson knows what
he is doing. There will be more war,
more murder, of course. But the
work for peace is under way
