 OFBRAVELADS IS EXTENDED

OTTAWA, March IS (by Associat ed Press) ).-Wearers of the scarlet and gold" of the North West Mount ed Police-recently renamed the Roy- al Canadian Mounted Police-are now charged with the enforcement of federal laws in all provinces of Can. ada. It is, for instance, as though the New York police force had it's beat extended from the metropolis to San Francisco. Many of these intrepid officers are sons of aristocratic fam lilies and are veterans of the Great WeE
 The metamorphosis of the great or ganization known as the North West Mounted Police, organized in 1873, when the great Canadian North West was a sort of "No-Man's Land," re- calls some of the heroic exploits of these was the nervy action of the late General Sir Sam Steele, then sergeant. A camp of hostile Cree Indians were obstructing the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway Sergeant Steele, accompanied by a constable, rode into the midst of the camp, and while the red skins in- dulged in promiscuous shooting and war whoops, calmly ordered Chief Pie-A-Pot to get out within ten min utes.
 The chief ignoring his order Steele, gar bed in a striking red coat, dis mounted, leaped over -Pie-A-Pots squatting figure, through the tepee door and>,1icked out the center pole, bringing down the tent on Pie-A-Pot and his squaws
 The audacity of Steeles act in thus man-handling the head of the tribe overawed the Indians and they at once started to obey his order.
 Of the many international cases handled by the mounted police one Of the most famous was that of Sit ting Bull who, after wiping out Gen. eral Clusters band in 1876, sought to use the Canadian border territory as a base of further operations against the Americans. With a mere handful of men the mounted police were able to control the Indians.
 The remarkable endurance of mem bers of the force have been freolent- ly mentioned in the press. The death of the Fitzgerald patrol on the Fort Mathematician trail in 191O11. when Inspector Fitzgerald, with Con- stable Carter, died on duty, was a mo- table instance. The bodies of the four men who had perished on the long trail were afterward found The men had struggled on to the last, killing their dogs and even eating part of the harness. Fitzgerald, the last to survive, was found dead with his diary and a mail bag under his body.
 The Bathurst Inlet Patrol made a two and one-half year journey into the Arctic, covering 5000 miles in sledges, on snowshoes and afoot to ar rest two Eskimos for the killing of Radford and Street, two white men slain in 1912. They found the Eski- mos and brought them to court.
 Many other interesting stories are told of these guardians of the peace. At the present time recruiting for the force has virtually stopped because of a lack of barrack accommodations

&c, TeooA $S<.

Not il Mary Pickford Fairbanks and her
lawyers can help it.
They vigorously deny every one OF the
accusations made by Attorney-General
Fowler.
Mary Pickford's chief attorney is the
Hon. P. A. McCarTen, one of the best
known lawyers in the State .of Nevada.
member of the Supreme Court of Nevada
and is a resident OF Reno.
One Of the important contentious of the
Attorney-General is that Mary Pickford
never was bona fide resident of the State
Of Nevada and that, as a matter OF fact,
she never had any intention of making
permanent residence In that State. The
fact that almost Immediately after obtain
ing her decree OF divorce she hurried out
OF the State and married and settled down
with a new husband in California-this fs
pointed to as confirming the charge that
Mary Pickford must have sworn falsely
when she told the Judge that her sole pur-
pose for coming into the State OF Nevada
was to regain her health and become a
permanent resident. '"1
IL Is interesting In this connection to
note that Mary Pickford's lawyer, eK,
Judge McCarren, while he was justice Of
the Supreme Court, rendered an opinion
which bears directly upon this question Of
good faith in a litigants intention to be-
come permanent resident. -,
4 In the famous case of Blakeslee against
Blakeslee Judge McCarren handed down
this ruling, in which he said in substance.
Circumstances might arise, even two
days after the granting Of a decree OF di.
vorce, which would cause the plaintiff IN
an action to change his residence and his
intention as to residence, and in such an
event II is no presumption that fraud had
been perpetrated upon the Nevada courts'
