As CLEANED from persons who have
lately been in Bismarck, the sentiment
there seems to be that there will be an
acquittal in the case of the Territory VS..
Marquis de Mores, E. G. Paddock ct al.
Dick Moore and Frank Miller hare
been included in the Indictment for the
killing Of Luffsey. Their whereabouts
|is at present unknown and it is doubt

which is set for the tenth. E
Seven Hashknife cowboys who have

No finer fruit grows than the common

fWadsworth's cavayard was coming
into town Tuesday morning when Helm
re was surveying the scene of the kill
ing of Luffsey and the cowboys took
Heinze for photographer. They all
began posing, and when Heinze had
tired them out pointing his transit at
them, he turned them loose. In the
words Of the immortal poet: che never
touched 'em.''
It would be good idea for some peo-
, pie to receive exactly the kind of treat.
ment they give their stock and see if ii
, would sharpen their feelings any. We
have seen one team especially driven
, into town early in tile morning and
allowed to stand all day long and some.
!, times far into the night, withouta bite
to eat or drop to drink. If this had
. happened once only, it might be excusa
BILE, but happening time after time
makes the matter not, only a subject FOL

this shameful mal-treatment continues

rtthere are times when d person is com
1 PEELED to borrow, but they are excep
tional circumstances. The point Of Dor
s rowing Telncing the circulating medium
u in Q town and thereby proving a detri
ment did not receive due attention. TIKI
= borrower is q non-producer to just :tIit
) extent Of his borrowing and to the same
|. extent damages the town, for if he liat
bought or rented what he borrowed, Iii
e would have put into circulation jus1
= that much money. By his borrowing
: also, lie actually takes away from the cir

j for value received. Even when a person
j. reali8es tile true spirit of the chronic
! borrower it is very hard to refuse thu
Y loan Of some article which is asked
!. One scarcely likes totell him that hi
lean hire or buy the same article right
here and for this very reason the chronic
borrower has a rich field to work and thu
man who provides himself with the arti
