What the Cattle Census Shows.

"The cattle census shows that there is
but one animal raised for every 875 per-
sons in the United States, and yet there
are some who claim that there is an
overproduction of CATTLE said F. NJ.
Woods of Nebraska. shave made this
a study and, while may be an enthusi-
asst on the subject, l am satisfied that
at the present ratio of increase in the
population, the market can never be
overstocked. America is not raising
enough cattle to-day to supply the de-
mand for home consumption, to say
nothing of the immense business that is
d)ne with Europe in the dressed carcass
trade. And the calls for our beef are
constantly increasing in all parts of the
old world. Prices have been low, it is
true, but the reason for this is that a
large proportion of the cattle brought
into market were in poor condition, and
consequently the demand was slow and
prices less than they should be. That
state of affairs is only temporary, as will
he shown before eight months elapse."

Was Tom, Cover Tortured to Death!

Town Talk: II Nearly early year ago Is 1T it was
stated that Thomas W. Cover, well known
Montana pioneer had perished while on a
prospecting tour in the. desert mountains
of southern California. J tfhe Los Angeles
Times of the 22d ult., printsia sensational
story to the effect that he was followed in
the desert, captured, pegged to the ground
and roasted to death with greasewood
fire by one Turner Helms, brother of
Boone Helms, who was hanged by vigi-
lantes in Montana in the early days; Tom
Cover being prominent member of the
hanging committee. The story is based
on trails and tracks found on the desert
and the remains of Cover himself. Helms
was out in search of Cover, and it is known
that he cherished feelings Of revenge on
account of his brothers execution and
being driven out of Montana himself.
Tom Cover was one of the noted Montana
pioneers miner, Indian fighter and ex-
plorer. He was John Bozeman's compan-
len when he was killed by Indians on the
Yellowstone, Cover only escaped after
hours of fighting.
