Missoula Land Cases.
In the federal court yesterday Judge
Knowles vacated the setting of the
Missoula land district perjury cases.
They were to have been tried Nov. 18,
but Special Attorney Maynard yesterday
«:iid that Mr. Burch hnd asked him to
have the cases heard after the first of the
j ear, if possible. Judga Knowles vacat
ed the original setting and now it is
probable the cases will not be called
until after the holidays.
A Grateful Rattlesnake.
"Rattlesnakes are grateful if you gain
their affection," says a correspondent of
the Corsica»a (Tex.) News. "My brother
Jim found a six-foot rattler near town
■caught under a boulder, and instead of
using his advantage, ha sympathetically
released the snake, which thereupon be
eamc a pet and followed Jim around and
guarded him as watchfully as a dog.
One night he was awakened, and miss
ing the snake from its usual place at the
.foot of the bed, ho knew something was
wrong. He got up and lighted a match
to investigate, and found a burglar in
the next room in the coils of the SDake,
which had its tail out of the window
rattling for the police."
Assayers Differ.
Helena, Mont., Nov. 9.—Two assayers
made their returns today' on the ore
found yesterday while excavating for the
federal building in this city. Assayer
Emmet R. Fisk'a return showed there
was no gold in the rock. He says the
rock is not quartz, but crystallized lime,
stained with iron. The rock lie assayed
was taken from the ground two days
ago. •
Assayer W. G. Brown makes a differ
ent return. Iiis assay was from rock
taken out late yesterday. While he will
not give out the figures tonight, ho says
the assay shows values something less
than $50, and he says it is as good a
prospect as has been uncovered in this
vicinity in a long time.
Assayer Fisk says there might be
value iu the rock at a great depth, but
lie insists tneieisnone now.
Paymaster Robbed.
Pensaloca, Fla., Nov. 10.—Paymaster
Stevens of the United States army ar
rived from Alauta Saturday, and before
leaving that city placed in a hand
satchel 200 silver dollars and $4,800 in
paper for the purpose o( paying the sev
eral hundred artillerymen at Fort Ba
rancas and McReel their salaries for the
last mouth. When he reached the fort
here ho oponod his grip and found that
ali the paper money had been abstracted
and that only the 203 dollars remained.
Amazement and surprise followed the
discovery. The p dice were instructed
to look out for the treasure. Paymaster i
Stevens thinks some professional pick- in
pocket followed him and relieved him
during tho trip. Ha cannot recall a '
single incident of the trip that would
have any connection with the robbery,
but has an idea the money was taken !
before ho left Atlanta. j
Will Use Ëleetrieity. j
Minneapolis, Nov. 9.—The Great j
Northern is preparing to investigate tho
possibility of utilizing Snoqualmie falls, ,
thï greatest scenic attraction in the state
of Washington, for pulling all of its
trains between Seattle and the summit
of the Cascade range. The Northern
I'ucitic road is also considering tho falls
as a source of power for running its
trains from Portland and Seattle to the
summit of the Cascades. President
Hill has decided that eleotricty shall be
the motive power through the Cascade
tunnel, and if possible from the summit
of the Cascades to the western terminals.
The SiiOqualmie falls are owned by
William T. Baker, formerly president of
the Chicago board of trade. His son
Charles H. Baker, is president ot ttie
company. The falls have a total horse
power of 100,009. Only about 10,090 o
this is now in use. The falls are 270
feet high and at present they supply the
power for the street railways of Tacocia
ard Seattle and for the flouring mills in
the latter city.
Fenced Government Land.
It is reported that George Carroll
living south of
j
1
!
v,. the Cheyenne réserva
, , , . ., tt ■<- 1
tion, has been arrested by the United ;
]
States marshal for fencing in govern
ment laud, says the Yellowstone Jour
nal. From what can be learned of the
affair Carroll's offense was the result of
his efforts for protection of his stock
from the iuroads and encroachments of
Wyoming cattlemen. It is customary
for cattlemen to pick out favored spots
on their ranges which they reserve for
wiuter grazing, then they make a round
up late in the fall and turn their cattle
into these preserved pastures. It ap
pears that in some cases before they get
a chance to do this the Wyoming cattle
men turn their stock iu on the Montana
range and the men to whom the range
of natural right belongs have to rustle
fur their fodder. Carroll, according to
the reports, took the matter into his own
hands and fenced in such pastures as he
i thought be needed for his own stock
I during the winter.

Pete McCartney, Counterfeiter.
Stories of McCartney are abundant in
secret service circles. His most con- j
spicuous trait appears to have b9en his
effrontery, and this doubtless will ac
count for a part of the success ho achiev- !
ed in his disreputable calling. One
illustration will suffice. He had just ac
quired the notoriety incident to a release
from a considerable term of imprison
ment for counterfeiting, and took ad
vantage of the public interest in him by
goinsr upon the lecture platform and
regaling large audiences, at fifty cents
n head, with the "Confessions of a
i Crook." Naturally, he moved about
with some rapidity, a3 his lecture jon
siiraed only ono evening in each place
where he stopped, so that was it
I some time before the police discovered
that he had steadily-made use of his box
1 office to get rid of ariWmense amount of
1 his own counterfeit money. Every
; spectator who handed in a dollar for a
i ticket received a counterfeit half-dollar
in change. The scheme worked magni
ticeatly for a while; but, like all Mc
' Cartneys enterprises, it led at last to
disaster and the penitentiary. His wie
and daring would have equipped an
! honeBtman for gaining a fortune.—New

Longabaugh Is Fully Identified.
St. Louis, Nov. à. —The Po3t Dispatch
today says that the man arrested Thurs
day night and suspected to be one of tho
robbers who held up the Great Northern
"flyer" near Wagner, Mont., last July,
was positively identified today, as the
party Longabaugh, who is known to
have been one of the participants in tho
robbery.
The identification was made by a St.
Louis business man, who was prosecut
ing attorney in Wyoming in 1897,
w hen Longabaugh was arrested as a
member of a gang of horse thieves,
I'his man asked the police to conceal his
identity which they did. Longabaugh
started when the St. Louis man first
walked into his presence today. The
prisoner still refuses either to admit or
den his identity.
A term of 60 years in the penitentiary
at Deer Lodge awaits Harry Lauga
baugh. one of the Wagner train robbers,
now in jail at St. Louis, if he should be
brought to Montana for trial. If tried
in St. Louis, ho may be committed to
the penitentiary for 15 years for each
stolen bank note found in his possession
Iu either case, he should doubtless spend
the remainder of his life in prison.
. .. ... . .
The St. Louis authorities seem to fear
that he would not be punished with suf
ficient severity if brought to Montana.
T: ey figure that, if given the maximum
penalty for his participation in the Wag
ner robbery, ho would, by good behavior,
be able to reduce his term to 17 years -
but a former resident of Valley county
yesterday pointed out the fact that the
St. Louis officers are evidently ignorant
of the fact that Longabaugh held lip
two trains in Montana. He bas been
positively identified as one of the men
who held up a Great Northern train at
Malta in 1892, and ever since that affair
he has been a fugitive from^ustice. For
that offense, he could be sent up for 20
years for robbery and for 10 yea rs for
assault in the first degree, and for the
Wagner robbery, the penalty is the
same.
Montana will bo able to give him a
home to 1 * the rest of Iiis days, if he
should not be tried in St. Louis. The
Choteau county authorities are anxious
, „
held-up train, who has knowu him well
for years, and there would be no difficul-i
' ty in convicting him, while they fear that
to get a chance at him: ho has been pos
itively identified by the engineer of the
a St. Louis jury, not understanding well
how many and serious have been his
offenses, would be leniett toward him.

Tammany 's Big Pay Roll.
* ** *
figures printed in the Sun last
Sunday as to the payroll of New \ork
city under Tammany rule have amazed j
public men in Washington. A well
known Southern Democrat of more than
twenty years of consecutive servicj in
the Uni ted States senate said regarding
these tigurss: j
"It costs more to run the single muni
cipality of New York city, under the one
man system of administration as prac
ticed by Croker, than to conduct all the
nine great executive departments here,
throwing in the government printing,
house and the government of the Dis- j
trict of Columbia, including its police';
foice. Think of that !
"According to this Sun exhibit t there!
are in (Jreater New York 40,914 public
employes of all kinds, which includes the
police fores of 7,026 persons. Last year
the e îormous sum of $43,927.317 was
paid to them. Now, including more
than 3.000 people in the government
printing house and more than 3,000 in
the District government, you will find
that in all the executive departments
here there are less than 20,0JJ people
employed.
"Furthermore, the aggiegate disburse
ments to all Federal employes within the
District of Columbia, which includes
every executive branch of the local
government, viz., its police,school teach
ers, etc., fall considerably below §20,000,
000 per annum, les9 than half the aggre
gate paid by New York city."
One of the senator's auditors attempt
ed to palliate this showing by referring
to the great police force necessary to
preserve order in New York, as coin pared
with the small one required in Washing
ton.
:
"My dear sir," he instantly retorted,
"you can add the payroll of tli9 dis
ciplined police force of the entire nation,
otherwise the United States army, to the
executive expense account of the several
departments here, and still find the
aggregate will be several millions less
than this lavish payroll of the municipal
ity of New York. The army in 1990 was
about „nine times greater than New
York's police force, and it included more
than 2,500 officers with high pay. As
tounding as it may appear, the pay of
our regular army, officers and men, and
including the retired list, amounts to
less than half the aggregate salary list of
New York City*. Yet there has been a
great hue aud cry among Democrats,
especially the Bryanites, about the
terrible burden our army has become.
"I go still further and assert that the
payroll of the entire naval establishment
can be added to the cust of the executive
departments here, and that the aggregate
payroll of all will still not exceed that of
New York city alone, although it is
probable that altogether the army, navy
and various civilian employes of the
United States government within the
District of Columbia will outnumber
New York's aggregate at least two to
