WILL BRING Back MANY Elk.

p. l.. Edholm, deputy state game
warden, was passenger on the Burl-
ington yesterday for Gardiner, Mont,
and from there will go into the Yellow
stone park, where he will secure a num-
ber Of elk and bring them back to the
Hills with him. The elk, does and a
few bulls, have been rounded up from
the government preserve in the park,
and will be transplanted in the state
game preserve in Custer county. About
twenty animals will be in the shipment,
and all Of the animals are reported to
be in fine condition, the most Of them
yearlings and 2-year olds. There are
already a large number Of elk in the
park, and all Of the members Of the
herd haye done well, the original num-
Der having increased with every year.
With the elk, The black and white tail
deer, the antelope, buffalo and other
wild game that roam about the hills and
wales of the park, the state has one of
the finest game preserves in the United
States and is constantly adding to the
number Of animals, and making it an
attraction that is worth the while of
tourists to see. Conditions there are
ideal, for the animals who are wont to
roam in the hills and among the rough
and stony places, find plenty Of shelter
and surroundings to their liking, while
the deer and antelope that are plains
animals have long stretches Of country
over which to roam, and the buffalo
which are IN the latter class, also are
accommodated in this respect. The
present legislature has provided liber
ally for the maintenance and the i'm
provement Of the park, and it will in a
few years become one Of the most cele,
braled and largely visited of any in the
country -Pioneer-Times.
The elk were brought to Custer by
Mr. Edholm in a special ear attached to
the passenger train Thursday and IN
loaded at the stock yards. Thursday
evening as the south bound passenger
train pulled in to the stock yard switch
to pick up the car the elk were shipped
in, the elk became frightened and run
against the fence, breaking board and
80 escaped. One Of the remaining II
tried to jump the fence and fell back
breaking its neck, and one died during
the night. The thirly-nine who escap.
ed when last seen were heading for the
Limestone country.

House 'morgue" where it will remain
for all time.
Up to the closing days when the House
sent several labor bills over the Senate
did not appoint any committee to look
after bills affecting labor. But when the
bills went over from the House there
was no committee to handle them and
in the selection of this new committee
Senators Stoner and Milne were both
placed on the list to look after these
| bills.
When the bill came up to add fishing
! licenses to the game license provision,
the Senate first amended it to apply to
trout fishing only, which was opposed
by the Hills representatives, and after
the amendment had been forced, the
bill went down to defeat on the general
vote, leaving the license law just as it
was in the past without the fishermen
being called on to dig up for the priyi.

BO'RD CONTROLS PARK
Management of Game Preserve is Shifted
By Bill Passing Both Houses
at Pierre.

Pierre, March 5.-The question of
shifting the control of the state park in
the Black Hills from the state land de-
partment to the state park board passed
the house yesterday afternoon as a
senate bill and the change will be made.
This apparently carries an appropriation
of 100000, which is one change Of
dealers accounts in state departments
and meaning more central control in
the building up of state outing place
for the people, memorial to congress
has been forwarded asking that Iiarney
peak and Harney range be added to
this tract, which if carried out would
place this line with the series Of public
parks in the northwest

RICHARD DISCUSSES
REFEREE QUESTION
Says Local Sentiment and
battle-ground Will Affect
His Decision.
BY GEORGE II. UNDERWOOD.

II the Willard-D Dempsey bout should
by any chance DO held in New York
either Bill Brown or Jack Skelly will
DO the third man IN the ring. Should
the big bout not be fought in the East
neither Brown nor Skelly stand much
OF a chance Of being selected as referee.
Tex Richard intimated as much at the
Biltmore yesterday.
Tex would not lie pinned down re-
garding his pro liable choice. He was
wary even of mentioning any of tho
candidates for fear his remarks might
be Inisinterpreted. What he did say
was:
Local sentiment will have TO figure
largely in the selection of the third
man. II the bout should be held in
New York ! naturally would feel called
upon to select man in whom the New
J orkers. who would provide the bulk
of the attendance, have implicit faith
Vice versa. If II Is decided to hold
the contest in Illinois. Ohio. pennsyl-
vania, Texas. Colorado. Connecticut or
some other state local opinion Is bound
to exert II big influence on me.
cor course the main thing will be 10
have the contest Judged by man in
whom the whole sporting world will
have faith. There are several ma
tionally renowned and dependable ref
erees scattered about the country. In
case the bout should take place in a
locality not boasting n referee Of ma
tional prominence of course | will have
TO draw from the outside.
Already / have had more than forty
applications for permission TO referee
the bout Some of the candidates are
eNcrting all kinds OF influence and
pressure on me to encourage and force
their selection. Why. only yesterday I
received Il letter from one OF the most
powerful men politically In the country
asking me not to overlook a certain
friend of his, n we'll known referee"
