Talk about wolves and coyotes
being thick ovs our way" said a Bul
creek ranchman this week." why VT
ranchmen have to round up oul
horses every night to prevent them
being killed. Only last week IA neigh.
Dor OF mine went M to the saw mil

u Before the driver could reach
the horses they had broken the Whit
f~ietrees and the tongue catching in a
log threw one horse over and broke
his leg. No help being at hand my
friend came home on foot and early
next morning / accompanied him to
the lumber camp to get the injured
animal home. We hunted for him
for some time and finely returned to
where the horseh had been injured. Near
by we found a few of his bones, all
that was left OF the animal for dur

had killed and eaten the disabled

We want the trade of this community
to enable rs to pay cash for wheat.
The wheat crop this year is large, and
wheat mostly OF an excellent quality,
and should all be consumed at home.
The worlds markets were never so low
for wheat as they are now; so if wheat
can be grown in Fergus county at a
profit this year the outlook for our
future prosperity in this line is good,
as prices will surely advance in time
and farmers must be prosperous. This
will help all other branches OF bust
So We advise the careful and
iudicious use of wheat, and be sure to
keep II good supply OF clean seed for
springs seeding. Use vitrol freely
your seed and there is no reasonwhy

enough to bread the entire state of
Montana. Wheat is a staple that
always commands a cash price, and it
is convenient to have a little wheat to
sell about tax time.
Election day passed off far more
quietly in Lewistown than was gener-
ally expected. The day previous a
saloon row occurred which BODIED i'll,
but during the time the saloons were
closed in election day, comparative
quiet prevailed. The Sullivan forces
seemed far better organized, and Mr..
Sullivan worked with his coat off until
late in the afternoon. Few expecta-
tions were realized by the count, the
Waite forces having conceded the pre-
to Sullivan, but expected an
even thing for treasurer Both Demo-
Independents were surprised
and disappointed by results. Early
in the evening crowds began to congre-
gate about the telephone Office, and
until some time after midnight cheered
as fresh messages brought news
of Republican success and Helena's
victory. The count in this precinct
scompleted about 4:3O d. M, a large
number of citizens and several candi-
dates remaining to hear the final re-
suit. Lewistown and Fergus county
did nobly for the Republican ticket.
For the first time in our history the
Republicans are entirely successful
the ticket elected from top to bottom.
Not even the Independent Republicans
retarded the Republican candidates
in the least, as both E. p. Chandler
and w. S. Perkins gained majorities OF
which they may well beproud. Helena
upon 500 majority in Fer
gus county and we gave her owe a
thousand. Two years of an honest
government in Fergus county is as
sured, and Montana citizens have
shown themselves worthy of the ballot
by spurning Days brides.
