our CHIEF INDUSTRY.

The assessment roll OF Fergus county
for the past year reveals the fact that
wool growing is our chief and most
reliable industry and one in which
every citizen should take a just pride
and regard its welfare with deep sOlici-
tude. In 1883 there were less than
100, 700 sheep in Fergus county, now
the assessment roll shows over 200,
900 head, an increase OF 100 per cent.
and this, too, after a loss of 30 per
cent. during the winter OF SO and 81.
While range cattle growing preceded
wool growing by number of years
there is an alarming contrast to-day
between them. In 1855 there were
fully 100000 head OF range cattle
in the county. This number WAS re-
duced one-half 10y the severe winter
oi two years ago, and now the assess

The only reward ever offered for his
capture was that of 800 promised by
Sheriff Lew Coleman. II was probably
for the reason that the governor and
other officials took so little interest IN
the affair that the murderer has been
at large so long.
The credit Of the capture. however,
belongs largely to sheriff Lloyd OF this
county, as he informed the Deer Lodge
officer where Johnson might be found.

500 reward for the capture Of the
