TO- Old Bandi
Directs Activities of
sGang' From Dugout

From a hole dug under the
porch OF an empty house the activ-
tiles of a Miles City bandit have
been discovered. The leader who
made the hole his home, is under
arrest and has divulged the names
of his band members. He is 10
years of age and the others Of his
gang range in age from 8 to 8.
The particular activity of the band
that resulted in the arrest of the
leader was the looting of the con-
tribution box in the Catholic church
on a recent Sunday afternoon. The
sum of $1.65 was taken.
According to Sheriff Hi Farnum
who has been keeping a close watch
the lads for some time, the boys
are alleged to have been stealing var
ious articles over the city for the last
six months, their biggest thefts be-
ing those of automobile tires, it is
Never until the recent rob
berry of the church did the evidence
warrant an arrest.
Now the whole story has been told

Is Frank Kubey, a trapper who
disappeared in the Storm creek
country in the Lolo forest in the
winter of 1911-12 still alive? That
is the question that is facing old
time trappers in the MissOuIa Sec
ton as a result of a story which
was brought out of the White
Sand creek country recently.
According to the story, the cook
at the White Sand trail construction
camp reported to his companions that
he had just seen a wild man.. The
cook evidently was frightened by
some experience he had had, mem
bers of the gang asserted, for when
they arrived at the camp their cook
was white as a sheet" and sick.
The incident occurred two or three
weeks ago when the cook looked out
back of the incinerator pit and saw
a nude man crouching over it scrap
ing cans to one side, STOPPING to
peer into the pit, and then scraping
some more. The cook called out:
NCome here!"
Disappears In Forest.
The fellow stood up, looked queer
ly at the cook for a moment and then
ran off into the woods. The de-
scription was that the man was stark
naked. He had a bushy white beard
and long white hair. In fact the
cook said only his eyes could be
seen clearly. AS the creature ran
away, the cook claims he could see
the powerful muscles of the runners
back and that his skin had the deep
tan that only comes from long ex-
posture to the elements.
Members of the camp are report
ed to have grilled the cook long and
harshly over the matter, but the story

thought the matter over. They are

guages, a botanist.

who would pay no attention
to him.
When fall came he departed for
thewilds of the least fr%equented sec
ton of the northwest. Before going,
however, he declared his intention of
returning June 6, of the next spring.
He gave orders for the disposition of
his horse and other property, and it
is said, had a premonition something
was going to happen to him. He is
said to have remarked: 81 am going
way back
Spring came, but Kubey did not
appear. Then two trappers, both Of
whom are living in Missoula today,
started out to look for him. They
found his cabin. They found his
diary in which he made an entry of
June 6, 1912, stating that he was
starting out for civilization. There
also were a couple of bear hides in
the cabin.

was where he had cut down a tree
to be a foot log over the Storm
creek, which was at flood stage.
But there was no evidence of his ev-
er having crossed it. 1t had not fall
len clear down, but a man could
crossed over easily. The ex-
PLANTATION is that he did not want to
leave his dog, which could not have
made the crossing. The size of the
man whom the cook declares he saw
compares with Kubey's stature.
The section in which Kubey was
lost is n of the most inaccessible
regions imaginable, according to
men who are familiar with that sec
ton of the country. Being a game
preserve, it is also left alone by all
hunters and trappers.
Now the question is did the cook
see the wild MANI" Men at the
camp believe that he did. His repu-
alton for veracity is reported to be
ace high" Trappers also say that

FORMER ALASKA TOURIST
 WRITES 10 MIL HORNER

Howard B. Macdonald, of New York who made the tour of the territory two years ago, writes to Mel Horner, who accompanied the Totem Tours party from Cordova over the railroad, that since his trip to Alaska he has travel ed all over the world, taken thousands of photos, and compiled a number of lectures on his travels, but that he has yet to see the scenery or experience the delights of a trip equal to that of the Alaskan tour.
 It will be remembered that at the time MT. Macdonald and companions were here, it rained continuously, several mud slides occurred on the railroad, and the streams along the Richardson highway were roaring tor rents. Despite these drawbacks, MT. Macdonald apparently enjoyed his trip as his letter indicates that he in- tends to return to Alaska and with MT. Horner go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes where he will take pictures.
 MT. Macdonald writes that after his trip through Alaska he took a 100000 mile trip around the world, and will spend this summer in Norway and Sweden.

MILL ARRIVES FOR
 NUKA BAY PROPERTY

E. w. Burnett arrived from Nuka Bay on the gasboat May, Capt. Chas. Emswiler, Saturday, and left on to- days train for Anchorage. MT. Bur- nett states that the new mill, of the Warrington ball type, is now on the Seward dock, having arrived on the steamship Alaska, and will be taken to Nuka Bay as soon as transporta- tion can be arranged for. It was formerly planned to ship the mill from Seward on the Starr, but owing to the vessels having a capacity load, it will probably be shipped on the Redondo, unloaded on barge or raft, and taken to the property. MT. Burnett went to the bay to take in supplies. Chas. Barheiser, treasurer, and J. D. An drews, vice-president of the company, who have been to the states for the purpose of buying machinery, are re- turning passengers on the Alameda, sailing Saturday from Seattle. Capt. Foster, another member of the com pany, is spending the winter on the property.
 MT. Burnett had with him about ten dollars worth of gold which he banned from a small packload of ore, the gol( running about $19 to the ounce, be- ing unusually pure. He declares that about $2O,O0O worth of ore is in sight and that the mine is unbelievab- ly rich as the vein is stripped. With a mill on the property it will be de- velooed rapidly and will be one of the largest producers from all indications, ever started in this section
 While no actual work has been done other than to strip the vein for about 420 feet, and sink a shaft about 12 feet, Mr. Burnett believes that it is a vertiable bonanza, assays showing several hundred dollars per ton, and the rock being plastered with coarse gold and small nuggets. He stated that the property meant much to Sew ard, as the company would run large crew this summer, but so far appar- ently but little interest has been taken in Seward.
