CAXADA AND MONTANA I TO BE DIVIDED BY FENCE| -caf = | Barbed Wire to Be Stretched Along the Boundary to Prevent Cat- tle Smuggling. GREAT FALLS, Mont., April | parbed wire fence is' to be erected along P and | ype boundary between Canada and Mon- | tana, which iz designed to prevent the | | wholesale smuggling of cattle from one country to another. .Captain Dean of the | Northwest mounted police says $10,020 has been appropriated by the Dominion Gov- | ernment for the purpose, and Spencer | Bros., large cattlemen, will contribute an | equal amount. The first fefice will start at Writing on Stone and extend eastward | about fifty miles. Other extensions will follow. Each Government has fixed a duty of about 20 per cent on imported cat- tle, but the duty has been avoided for vears by cattiemen, who appurently’ care- jéssly allow cattle to stray across tne boundary. Spencer was recently arrested by ex- | amination customs authorities for alleged 1 gmuggling of cattle, and was forced to Geposit $200 duty pending the determina- | fion of his appeal, which is now under | consideration. He blames his arrest to | rival cattlemen, who he thinks have | smuggled cettle for years.

An expert was-put to work on the books made are alleged to be so startling that; | he has asked that the stockholders ap- i point a second man to go through ¢! | books and verify the results of the first | examination. Charles Baskerville was ac- | cordingly put to work on the books, andg it was on his report to the stockhoiders that a demand was drawn up and pre- | sented to the president and board of dl-i | rectors of the company. | In this demand the stockholders ask! | that “suits at once be brought against | the president, Max Kuehnrich, to recover 1 from him large suwms of money, alleged to | be illegally taken and withheld by him, | beionging to the company, to cancél and | annul issues of stock made to him’ und | held in his name, and to remove him from | his positions as president and director of the Los Angeles Brewing Company, for each _and every one of six reasons.” It is charged that Kuehnrich sold the 1 per cent stock and drew for himself a certificate for a corresponding amount of paid up stock, pocketing the difference as a dividend, and ‘the sales of ten shares to Christlan Ganahl for $I08 a share, E. Mantel seven shares at $107 a share and W. Benz fifty shares at §103, and to his friend, Theodore Nau, seventeen shares at $106 a share are cited to prove the charge under this head. The matter of the expense account is also made the basis.for a separate charge against the president, and he is sald to have spent in the last three years the sum of $16,000 for which he has turned in no vouchers whatever, and that he makes no explanation of the expenditure except that it was for “‘expense incurred in_getting trade.” The fourth specification charges him with having demanded and recelved a commission on all the machinery that he purchased for the brewery, and the fur- ther statement is made that he borrowed from a malt company $5000, and in return agreed to buy the malt of the United States Brewery from this company, who took his personal note for the $5000 until the amount of purchases at the figures agreed upon should ‘reach a certain sum and the malt company had received back its $5000. Kuehnrich says that it is a family af- fair and that he will be able without any trouble to clear himself of the charges that are made against him.

For fifty years he lived the life of an American, but his last wish was that his body be sent to his native town in the proVince of Canton, China, and there huried in sacred ground beside the bones of his ancestors. The wish of the deceased will be faithfully carried out by the wife and four sons. During his last ililness Ah You was at- tended by Dr. C. Lubbock. After the patient had passed away a Chinese doc- tor-priest was called in, and he has taken charge of the funeral arrangements. Because of the prominence of the de- ceased the services will be a.combination of American and Chinese rites.” The re- malins are to be embalme nd lafd in state In a casket. To-mofrow the You home will be open to the visit of Cauca- sian friends and sympathizers. fter ser- vices at the house, the body will be taken to a local undertaking parlor, there to awalt the departure of the first steamer for China. The body will be followed to the dock by members of the family of the deceased, who will all be attired in the white Chinese conventional clothes of mourning.

Kansas Officials” Are Sus- pected of Having Aided the Prisoner. WICHITA. Kans., April 3.—John H. Dunn, charged with the murder of a £heriff and the robbing of a bank at Clarksville, Ark., and who has been an inmate of a hospital here, suffering from wounds, escaped last night. Dunn -asked the house physician Tues- day night to name his price for allowing bim to escape, saying that he had bribed the guards and that he. alone stood be- tween him and liberty. Physiclan Clarke refused.. It is thought that a friend of Lunn's got into the hospital in the gulse of a patient and facilitated his eseape late in the night. Every door in the house was locked this morning. The police force and Sheriff’s force are charging each other with planning the escape of Lunn. Mayor McLean has telephoned Governor Stanley and Attorney General Gobard to come to Wichita to investigate the matter. Chief Burt said to-night: Day before yesterday a prominent lawyer of Southern Kansas, one noted in State polities, came to my chief detective, Mr. Sutton, and to°Hiin" that if, when he got the re- ward for J. P. Dunn he would give certain par- tie= in this city $1000, all hindrances to the transfer of Dunm to the Arkansas authorities would be removed. My detective refusing, the proposition was made to me. I will place this matter in full before the Attorney General to- morrow as well as other things tending to show ‘rottenness in the matter. I have reason to know that the envoy represented a prominent official here. TOPEKA, Kans., April 3.—Governor Stanley and Attorney General Godard went to Wichita to-night to nvestigata the escape of Dunn. Some interesting de- velopments are expected, as the State of- ficers are of the opinion that the Wichita authorities had something to do with the escape. Governor Stanley said to-night: ‘There is crooked work somewhere. It seems to me as though the Sheriff's farce in Wichita 1s gullty of criminal neglect, If nothing else. Several days ago I was informed that Dumn wan m desperate character and was in all probability only shamming sickness in the Wichita_Hospital. 1 immediately ordered Sheriff Simmons te place a strong guard in the hospital and not let Dunn have any chance of escape. Why this was not dome, I propose to find out. If the officers were guilty of nej lect of duty in the matter or aided in the e cape they will have to suffer the penalty.
