Not In 10 Years Have the CattIemen Had
such Reason to BE Satisfied.
HELENA, Mont, Feb. 25.-Not In If
teen years have the cattlemen of Mon.
tana had such good reason to feel salts
fed. Last year the growers OF Montana
cleaned out their herds very thoroughly,
sending everything to market that was
not In hrst-class shape. They looked
for hard winter, but the reverse has
been the case. There have only been
three cold snaps and none continued
longer than three days. On none of the
ranges did the thermometer get lower
than 20 below, while the average has
been 20 above for the winter. There
has been an entire absence of billiards.,
and while there has been considerable
snowfall at no time has there been a
crust on the snow, and thus range stock
have had no difficulty In getting plenty
to eat. Another favorable condition
was that the ranges have not been over
crowded as in previous years. The run
ming streams have not been frozen and
cattle have therefore escaped the great
est destroyer of range stock in the
wlnter-lack OF water.
Letters received by Secretary Preuitt,
Of the Stockgrowers' Association, dur
Ing the last week, are all to the same
effect-that cattle on the ranges are in
better condition than they were In the
fall; that they are fat and sleek, and
that they will be In splendid condition
for the market early In the season.
Montana butchers are selling now, and
have been all winter, cattle right from
off the range, and 1t is better meat than
they have handled In long time. The
abundant SHOWS make sure early grass
and plenty of 1t, with full water courses
during the spring and summer. Cattle
men regard the danger point, so far as
hard weather is concerned, as passed
and while there may be few cold days,
there Will not be any long continued or
very severe cold snaps. Montana has
not had this year any of the severe and
blizzardy weather reported both east
and south OF this state. Losses willno
average more than per cent.

THE SONG OF THE WIND.

HOW sings the wind in the splendid daJ
Ill When the world is wild with the wealth
OF May,
The world is thrilling with light and love
There was never cloud in the heavens
above;
Never a msteless or moaning doyel
Never grave for a rose to hide,
And never rose that died.
How sings the wind in the hopeless night
When the lone, long winters are cold and
Whitel
There are rainbows back oithe storms to De
Back OF their storms and their mystery;
But oh for the ships that are lost at seal
Aud oh for the love of the lonesome lands,
Far from the clasp OF the drowning hands,!
So the wind singeth: Its God decre's
The wind sborad sing such songs as these
Should laugh in the lights silver waves
And toss the green on he worlds sad graves;
But why. in the night, should it sing to me
OF the shps-the ships that are lost at sea?

Deputy Sheriff Charles A. Cole stated
that he was at Chatteroy In search OF
jurors, and hearing of the discovery
drove out to the place where the body
had been buried. Wilson rode with
him in his buggy. He said very it'll

Deputy Sheriff Felix Pugh was the

working In the city, but she had
dropped the name of johnson and was
only known as Miss Wilson" He de-
tailed an interview with Benton Wilson,
who gave an ERRONEOUS description of
Johnson, and said the body was too tall
to be his brother-in-law. johnson, -
Benton Wilson said, "was a low, heavy
set man, with dark skin and a dark

The three prisoners were arraigned
before Judge Buck. They were &C.
companied by Attorney Stoll. He filed
a demurrer to the Indictment and asked

therefore left the setting of the case
for trial to Judge Arthur, who, he said,
would be back In day or So Attor-
ney Stoll brought up the question of
bail. Mrs. Johnson, he said, was a
woman unused to association with the
class to be found In the jail, and 1t was
very distressing to her. Prosecutor
Fenton agreed that Mrs. johnson might
be admitted TO ball. but not her father
and brother. The two Wilson's were
therefore remanded without bail, and it
was agreed that II Mrs. johnson could
furnish $4,000 bond she might be re-
