ment of Chief of Police Mottltt'

declared they would stage a com
plete investigation of the affair.
one of the queerest stories ever
related in the local police station
was told by Daniels yesterday art
ernoon. Daniels, who was married
here November 8 to a daughter OF
Mr. and Mrs. f. r. Dickson, 1612
Front street, says that on January
7. shortly before he and his bride
were to leave for his farm in Ida

go with them.
But little deliberation on DAN
iels' part was necessary before he'
came to the conclusion that he
didn't wish to be murdered so soon
after his marriage, and he com
piled. Taken out of the side door
OF the station, he was whisked
away I'm a taxicab, he says, while
his bride waited for him in vain.
That he was not in the hands
of robbers and thieves" as original
lv related was the belief expressed
by Daniels this afternoon. He had
hut $40 on him, ne said, and al
though this was gone when he
awoke. many hours later, the men
had not taken the jewellery which
he wore.
After driving him about Salem
streets for two or three hours in
the afternoon. the men drove to
the Southern Pacific depot where
they boarded a Pullman on the
shasta. Daniels said. Soon after
they had placed him in a berth, one
Of the men. he says. held the drug
soaked handkerchief over his nose
and mouth. After that he knew
nothing he said. until he awoke on
the Oakland ferry.
Questioned this afternoon. Dan
ieis said he was not sure If the
men had a gun. He didn't see it,
he said. but they told him they
had one.
Daniels said he didn't know how
the men procured ,aefr accomno-
dations on the Pullman. He didn't
see any tickets, he said. but the
porter made up the berth imme.
diately after he was requested 70

officers that Ray Richie. another
chauffeur, had missed his automo-
bile from a local garage on the aft
ernoon Of January Z. II had been
taken out, without his knowledge
Richie said. and was driven for 81
miles. All knowledge Of the affair
had been disclaimed by taxi driver,
and Chief Moffitt intends 70 learn
whether IL was Richie's machine
which might have been used e

Gun Man Dead;
Career Read AS
Novel Chapter

Havre. Mont, Jan. IA. Long
George Francis died with his
boots on. He is among the last OF
the hardy race of real cowpunch-
ers. riders of bad horses, fancy
ropers and of men who settled their
disputes with a gun instead or
lawyer. His death was no less SEN
sational than of the other events In
his career which made him
marked man in every gathering of
old-time westerners.
He died from exposure in ID be-
low zero weather while crawling
over frozen ground in an effort to
get to shelter and treatment for
fracture of the leg. The accident
twas caused while he was making
final trip by automobile to
"schoolmarm" friend near the Ca
madam border with Christmas pres
ents before returning to this city to
give himself up in court and begin
serving a term of not less than six
nor more than twelve years in the
State penitentiary The automo-
bile smashup occurred while he
was crossing the Mill River. in a
country in which he had hidden
from peace officers for seventeen
months.
Jumped His Bond.
In 1915 he was accused of steal
ing a horse. He was tried in 1918
and convicted. Between the time
of the announcement of the verdict
and passing of sentence he was Civ
en- ten days stay of execution. He
was under bonds and jumped out
of town on his favorite horse and
hid in the Little Rockies, which
was once the rendezvous of kid"
Curry, bad man and train hold-up.
Long George" stayed there for
seventeen months and finally gave
himself up voluntarily. He was
then sentenced and he appealed to
the supreme court. His conviction
was affirmed two weeks ago, on
Christmas eve. with five days free
dom before he would be compelled
| to answer the mandate of the su-
preme court. He left early in the
4
! evening on his last ride, taking a
machine instead of his much-pre-
ferred broncho in order TO cover
thirty-five miles in time to deliver
his packages Of candy, apples and
! ! presents to the school marfn" and
| her pupils.
Famous as Rider.
He gained the name of Long
| George" because of his height and
shines He won his fame as a
rider with trophies gathered from
| the leading bad horse riders Of the
west at all of the big fairs and
! round-ups. When aroused he was
known as a bad man to deal with,
but his standing in this community
and throughout the old cattle
camps was one of great popularity
and great prestige. One Of his
greatest delights was to Josh peace
officers and to elude them when
he was wanted, only to bob up in
court voluntarily.
T. Long George" Francis Is re-
garded by old-time Montanans as
the last Of the real cowboys who
