Dillon. May IS.—A report came in front
Horse Prairie last evening that C. R.
•Engle, the rancher who left his home
two weeks ago last Thursday, and whose
horse showed up at a neighbor s ranch
the following morning ride rl. ss. had been
found alive and well in the mountains.
A few nights ago some one robbed the
Engle home of a lot of provisions. Mrs.
Engle recognized the track as that of
her husband, and another party was
organized to follow the track and search
for the missing man.
About noon Thursday the party dis
covered a little cabin in the main range
of the Rocky Mountains. With a pair of
field glasses they could see a man cook
ing his dinner, and concluded it was
.Engle. The party spread out and stir
round, d the cabin and captured th j man
without resistance and it proved to be
Engle.
At first he did not know his f i w. Is.
and claimed that he was hunting, hut
he soon became rational, but could give
little information as to how he had
passed the last two weeks. He was not
at all hungry, as he had provisions in
plenty, and had cooked them in an old
•skillet which he had secured at a saw
mill some miles distant. He says he
remembers where he dug up the coyotes,
which were found tied to his saddle, but
that is the last thing he can remember.
Over a year ago he was seriously hurt
by a fall from a horse, and received a
severe contusion on the head by which
he was rendered senseless for a couple
of clays. Since that time the injured
spot in hi? head has been very sensitive,
and to touch it would make him scream
with pain. It is now thought that his
horse might have fallen with him, hurt
ing him in the old spot again.
The news of his being found was bailed
with delight by his many friends
throughout the county.

DOCTOR RUCKER ONCE MORU
"Cure All" ILan Writes, Charging In
gratitude on Part oi His
Company.
A Butte resident has received a letter
from (he "cure all' doctor. H. D. Rucker, j
who recently departed from this city In
a hurry, leaving his repertoire company
stranded. The letter, which charges in
gratitude on the part of the members
of the company, is as follows:
"Seattle, Wash.. May 16.—Dear Sir:
An item in a Butte paper of May !» h is ;
done me a great injustice, i left the
city of Butte because I thought you:
city officials were endeavoring to gi\>
me a 'shake-down.' Developments since
have convinced me that l was correct, i
and I am not young enough to let any ;
Jim Crow' mayor or chief of police do |
that kind of work. In regard to leaving
my company stranded any member of it
from the east, except O. R. Merrill, will
tell you that they owe me from $5 to
$25 each. C. It. Merrill owes me nearly
$50. He has proven to be a rascal and
I don't expect to have any further burl- :
ness with him.
"If you care to investigate, you can g - !
to the Great Northern ticket office and j
find where I advanced $27.60 to T. Ashton '
Magrane and wife; also to the Northern
Pacific office and find where I advanced
$55 to Ed R. Davenport and Mr. Allen.
I have never received any benefit from
this money. The Northern Pacific pec- ]
pie have instructions from this office and
the money for the same to transport
the following named people of my cam- |

These people are unworthy of notice and

SHE TOOK JHE_ WHITE VEIL
Mrs. Cline, Formerly of Butte, Takes
a Nun's Vows in a San Fran
cisco Convent.
One of the best known business wo
men of Butte was Mrs. Kline, who yes
terday took the white veil at San Frari
cisco, entering Mercy convent. For
many years she was at the head of the
fitting department at Symons', her hus
band being bookkeeper at the establish
ment. Their devotion to each other was
always a matter of comment among th ir
friends. They had no children and were
always together after working hours.
One Sunday Mr. Kline jokingly aslmd
his wife: "What would you do if I were
to die?"
''Go into a convent." was her reply.
Mr. Kline laughed and told her she
would marry again.
The following Thursday Mr. Kline was
dead, a victim of pneumonia.
Mrs. Kline at once informed her rela
tives of her desire to enter a convent.
In vain they remonstrated. She settle 1
all her business affairs and went to San
Francisco, entering Mercy convent or,
probation, and yesterday she took the
white veil.
Mrs. Kline was a Miss McNamara. A
sister is now with the Symons firm in
the cloak department.
"It takes all kinds of people to make a
world." said Willie Wis.hington,
"Yes," answered Miss Cayenne, "life
is full of paradoxes. For instance, I
have often wondered why it is that th?
freshest young men invariably propound
the stalest remarks."—Washington Star.

The judges say the contract lacks mu

subject to the Philadelphia baseball club

to do so it could dispense w».~ him on
