FINDS BONES OF
MOOSE AND MAN
DAVID HILGER'S DISCOVERY IN
DICATES FOREST HRAGEDY
IN GLACIER PARK.
Skeleton of Man lays Beside Bones
of Moose, and Nearby Is Old
Sharp's Rifle With Lodged Shell
in the Breech.

When Dave Hilger, now secretary
of the Historical Library, was VI
in the Glacier Park section some
days ago he learned of a remark
able discovery just made out in the
park. A hunter going through an
unfrequented locality, ran across
the skeleton of a moose and right
alongside of it was the skeleton Of
man. Near the latter was what
was left of an old Sharps rifle and
in the breech was a lodged shell.
A little study of the situation made
the whole story very plain and a
photographer took photograph of
these remains, just as they were
when found.
The stock if the rifle had been
rotted away and it is believed
that it was one of the firstt wea-
pons of the kind made, so that
the tragedy may have taken place
about half a Gentry or so ago.
There is no record or legend in
that country of any man having
been lost, so that no such cir
cumstance could be associated
with the skeleton found From
the situation of these remains it
is just as plain as though it was
written that the hunter, whose
bones bleached in Glacier Park
came across the moose and getting
a good shot, hit the animal in the
neck, stunning it and bringing it
down. AS he approached he put
in another cartridge, and when
close to the moose the animal
arose and started to charge when
the hunter fired the second shot
This inflicted a mortal wound, but
for the moment did not stop the
furious animal.
The hunter put third cartridge
and when the moose was quite
close up undertook to fire again,
but the lodged cartridge prevent
ed him from finishing the animal, the
moose struck him down, trampling
him until he was either dead or
fatally hurt. Then the moose
dropped and the two laid in their
last sleep, side by side. The mans
skeleton and the remains of the
rifle were secured by rancher
not great ways from Glacier and
he has them now. Mr.. Hilger
had a talk with the party and
the condition as relat- !
ed above.

BOZEMAN GIRL IS
LONDON PIE BAKER
MISS THELMA LULL MAKES
GLAD HEART OF YANKEE
EXILES IN ENGLAND.
Is Achieving Financial Success in
Unique Effort; London Times In
terviews Her About Pies Like
Mother Used to Make.

To a Montana girl Miss Thelma
| Lull formerly of Bozeman, has gone
the distinction of making American
exiles in London smile as perhaps
they have never smiled before since
they left their homeland shores.
The smiles with which Miss. Lull
is greeted as she enters the American
embassy, the consulate and the Of
fices of the United States shipping
board, judging from the amount of
comment that has been devoted to
her by London papers, are the brand
of smiles that can be produced only
through the medium of well-ap-
peased appetite.
''The surest route to mans heart
is through his stomach" is Miss
Lull's motto.
Perhaps Miss Lull, a graduate of
Cornell, realized this when she start
ed out baking American homemade
pies (pies like mother used to bake)
for the benefit of exiled Americans
in London. The London Times in an
interview with Miss Lull says:
"After taking my degree l came to
London to do some informal study of
English literature. I spent most of
my time in the British museum and
it was while sitting in the reading
room one day that I got the ''pie
idea.
81 don't know where it came from,
for was reading poetry at the time.
1t just occurred to me that American
visitors over here, to say nothing of
the hungry young men around the
embassy, might enjoy life more if
they had an occasional taste of the
old homemade pie.
cit would also be easier for me to
pay for my own board. I went first
to the consulate, and mentioned the
mystic word. Their faces lit up with
a kind of holy JOY and they urged
me to get busy

Miss Lull is we'll known in Boze-

to school. She is a sister of John S.

Wool Sells at 43 Gents

Three hundred thousand pounds of
wool, consisting of the clip of small
growers embraced in the Saltwater
pool, was sold few days ago to Sill
herman Brothers of Chicago for 43
cents a pound, according to informa-
ton received in Great Falls by men
connected with the wool business.
The price reported to have been
paid for the saltwater pool is seven
or eight cents below the high figure
received in the state this season and
marks one of the few sales of any
size announced this month. In Great
Falls, Representatives of eastern wool
houses say that no clips are moving
in northern Montana, although some
growers are shipping on consign-
ment.

BIELENBERG HEIRS
TO CONTEST WILL
DISSATISFIED WITH SHARES AL
LOTTED THEM BY DEAD
MILLIONAIRE
AlIege that John Bielenberg, at the
Time of Making VIII, Was Not of
Sound Mind, and Was Influenced
by Bankers.

Col. G. H. Bielenberg and his bro
ther, Nicholas j. Bielenberg, filed a
petition contesting the will of their
late brother, John N. w. Bielenberg,
who died in Helena on June II of
last year, and whose will was admit
ted to probate on July s, 1922. The
contest is based on three grounds.
First, that John N. w. Bielenberg,
at the time of making the purported
will was not of sound mind. Second,
that at the time of making the will
he was acting under the undue in
fluence of Samuel McKenan, presi-
dent of the Union Bank and Trust
company of Helena, and R. o. Kauf-
man, the cashier of that bank. Third,
that the will was not signed by John
N. w. Bielenberg, and that it was
not subscribed in the presence of
those claiming to be the witnesses to
it's signing. The contestants of the
will ask that they each receive one
fourth interest in the estate and that
the present will be declared invalid
and Samuel McKennan be removed
as executor of the estate.
John N. w. Bielenberg left a for
tune of more than $950,000, which
he had amassed in his 20 years in the
cattle and mining business in Mon
taa. He was associated in business
with his half-brother, Conrad Kohrs,
who died in Helena, in 1920, leaving
more than $1,000,00O to his heirs.
1t was the largest and best known
cattle company in Montana for 40
years.
The two contestants, his brothers,
both have been in Montana since the
'60s. Charles Bielenberg is the pa
triotic instructor for the Grand Army
of the state of Montana and had been
associated with John Bielenberg in
the cattle business. Nicholas Bielen-
berg was the original exploiter of the
Champion mine and has been inter-
ested in the Hansen Packing COM
pany of Butte since it's origination.
Under the will these two brothers are
left the income from 100000 an
nually, but if they be successful in
this contest each would receive
S225, 5,000 The Kohrs family in Hell
ena received 100000 in bequests
under the will and the remainder of
the estate is held in trust with the
Union Bank and Trust company of
Helena acting as the trustee for the
rest of the heirs.
This is by far the most important
involving any estate that
was every started in Powell county,
all the heirs being lifelong residents
of this community and prominent in
all its affairs.

WOODCHUCKS START
UNUSUAL MIGRATION
general spreading

A general spreading Of wood
chucks from the mountain ranges to
the south of Simms into the low
lands has been observed by several
farmers in the Bird Tail section.
What the migration of the wood
chuck from his highland home sig
nifies is a matter of conjecture, but
he is on the move and is increasing
fast in parts distant from the noun
tains.
Whether the woodchuck will prove
himself undesirable to farmers as the
gopher has done is not known yet,
but he is being watched closely and
will not be given much opportunity
to do any damage. Woodchucks
thrive on green forage, it is under

BY JAMES KIRKPATRICK
On cold day in December,
1882, two men walked together
out Of Glendale, then thriving
sme1ter town in Beayerhead coun-
ty, Montana, bound for the mining
city of Butte.
One, John A. Jessrang, or JUS
serand, low, despicable char
acter of French descent, and 80
years old, was slender, about five
feet nine and weighed around 100
pounds.
The other, sturdier looking, was
German of go years and wore gum
boots, faded blue mackinaw coat
and an old fur cap. He was known
in camp as Dutch Jake" or Jacob
Kruger. Kruger, as was generally
known, always carried considerable
cash with him.
There lived and worked in camp
one Joe Whitaker, a blacksmith, who
boarded at the Longley and knew
Jake for an honest, goodhearted
man and who, the succeeding day,
determined, in company with a
friend, to follow and learn the fate
of Dutch Jake"
On a cutoff, a lonesome place,
they found in the snow the tracks of
two men. They followed this track
until they came to evidences of a
struggle. The snow had been
trampled down. They found the re-
mains of a fire, where in the ashes
were the metal rings of pair of
gum boots, such as dutch Jake"
wore, part of a mackinaw, and some
bits of the bones of mans hand.
They were so familiar with Dutch
Jake's" wearing apparel that they
became convinced that murder had
been committed and that Dutch
Jake" was the victim.
A single track led for this place,
across the snow. The sleuths fol-
lowed the footprints to section
house, where they learned that a
man had come there with his feet
badly frozen. The man proved to
be Jessrang. Both feet were frozen.
Afterwards they were amputated.
He was placed under arrest and
taken to Melrose. Jessrang would
not talk. A crowd of Clutch Jake's"
friends took him to nearby rail-
IOdu DIluS6, put d IOpc dTOuuu LIS
neck and he was hauled off his feet
several times, but he refused to
talk
Then G. G.. Earle, an officer of the
Hecla Mining company, harrangued
to the crowd. He advised modera-
tion, for the reputation of the COM
and finally induced the mob
to turn Jessrang back into the Gus
tody of the officers.
At the next session of the grand
jury true bill, charging Jessrang
with murder was returned, and one
juror suggested that his fellow We
take the law into their own
hands and lynch him.
The general opinion in Melrose
and Glendale was that although
Jessrang was guilty, clever lawyer
would have no difficulty in clearing
him, as the evidence was all circum-
One day two business men of
Glendale rode into Dillon. They
we're Joined on their way by several
men of the Big Hole valley That
night, perhaps dozen men went to
the county jail, and demanded Jess
rang. The jailer, after making
decent show of resistance, under
duress, gave up his keys. Five min
utes later Jessrang's lifeless body
was hanging from the Jail door.

ANALYSIS OF FIGURES SHOW
REDUCTION OF LIVING COSTS

WASHINGTON, Oct. ga short
time ago the statement was given out
that the cost of living had decreased
81 per cent since July, 1920, as meas
ured by retail prices. At that time
there was no analysis made of this
statement. 1t is now possible TO seq
regate the items of living costs into
five classes, showing the decrease in
each class.
Retail costs of food have decreased
1873 per cent since July, 1920.
Clothing has decreased S5.7 per cent.
Miscellaneous household commodities
have decreased GA per cent.
To counterfeit these large decreas-
es, there has been an increase in
rents since July, 1920, of 1913 pei
cent, and of fuel and lighting of
