Mr.. l. +. Parke, Mr.. George Brown and Mr..
William Fudge OF Waitsburg, are at the Airing

shippers. Mr.. Fudge said yesterday to a Posi-
INTELLIGENCxR reporter: "There are not as
many cattle on the ranges over in our state as
there used to be. Last winter was very severe,
and believe that about SO per cent. of the cattle
died on. That made IL easier to keep what cat

down so close that the grass was insufficient.

DITTON WILL BEHELD
He Will Now Be Charged With
Manslaughter.
TWO MEN WITH WEAK MINDS.


William Ditton, the man charged with killing
FRANK Moran, was taken before Judge Humes
yesterday and his bail was increased from $500
70 N,o0O, with Nicholas Micksy, 4. f. Lausson
and .. w. Everett Is surctfes.
Ditton was tirSt charged with assault with .
deadly weapon, it being thought that his victim
would survive the shot, but three days ago, after
nearly eight weeks of intense suffering, the nm
fortunate mans agonies ended In death. The
prosecuting attorney then, with the view OF
amending the information In Ditton's case, in
order to make 1t fit the new Developments, re-
quested the court to double the bail.
The shooting Of Frank Moran occurred at the
Adelaide saloon on the night Of January IA. Il
seems that he and Others were drinking and
carousing In the saloon and several quarrels
arose Ditton was assailed. and procuring his
double-berreled shotgun fired load Of buck
shot ct close range into Moran's body. A por-
ton OF the charge entered the liver and kidneys,
causing great suffering, and IL was supposed
that the wounded man could only survive q few
hours, but his stock of vitality and will power
enabled him to prolong his life for nearly eight
weeks.
Ditton's trial for the killing of Moran win
probably be Get for some day next week.

A FALSE ALARM.
A Reported Fire IN the Hydraulic bills
Causes Excitement Yesterday.

At O'Clock yesterday afternoon consid-
cradle excitement was caused by the ring
ing of the fire bell at hose house No. 2.
Immediately the hose wagon and chemical
engine of that company came dashing up
Market street and went dashing down
First street at a terrific gait. Everybody
on the streets followed the company in
hot haste, for the report was that the
Zephyr mills were on fire. The excite
ment of the occasion was heightened by
the additional report that wheel had
been wrenched off the hose cart, near the
mills, and that the fire would be uncon-
trollable before another hose cart could be
secured. Both reports were false
and the hundreds Of people who
FASTENED to the Zephyr mills could
neither see a fire. or fire
department. When the department got to
the Zephyr mills they found no fire there,
and the fremen thinking a mistake had
been made in the name of the mill FASTENED
to the Hydraulic mills, where no fire was
discovered either The freme1 returned
home tired, breathless and as mad as wet
hens.
Who sent in the alarm! That is the
question the boys would like to know. If
they find out they will make it hot for
them for the penalty for giving false fire
alarm is very severe. The firemen didn't
care much for their own trouble but they
do not relish the idea of driving two spans
of horses with speed almost equal to the
wind through muddy streets when there
is no necessity for it.
