There is over $3.000,O 900 lying in the

court special master to examine into

such a dividend. Judge Bumpus has

the only way to settle them up is to take
a common sense view of the matter and
arrange a settlement which will not al

One OF the serious consequences re-
sulting from the prairie fires now deyas-

on the ranges. AS rule this is the

will prevail this year OWING to the loss
of grass. Even now great trainloads of
