STORY OF A WHISKY BOTTLE
Ease OF the State vs.. John johnson
Tried Yesterday in Judge
Races Court.
Weber Had About Finished a Quart
Before the Nearly Fatal Row
Commenced.

The case of the State vs. John John
son came up for trial Thursday before
Judge Race. Sheriff Dryer, who went
after the prisoner the night before, had
some difficulty in finding him as he had
gone out on the ranch. The evidence
given yesterday before Judge Race
showed that the whole trouble started
over too liberal a use of John Barley
corn. Both the prisoner and the com
planning witness work for n. r. Porter
at the Cascade Land company's ranch.
William Webber started out in the
morning to drive a band of sheep to a
new range. To bear him company he
took with him IA quart bottle Of forty-rod
whisky. Some hours later the prisoner,
John johnson, was sent out to fol-
low hin with a team and lumber
wagon in order to pick up any weak
sheep that might fall by the wayside.
lie overlook Weber and the whisky
about Ii a. M, but the whisky got there
first, as only about two drinks were left
IN the bottle. One of these the generous
Weber gave to Johnson, taking precau-
ton to secure the other to himself before
he handed over the bottle. Then feeling
something like a weak sheep himself, be
proposed riding in the wagon with John
son. The latter consented and the two
proceeded a short distance on friendly
terms. Then Webber started a CONVEX
sation on the crime Of stealing flour, a
subject highly offensive to johnson, who
understood the remarks to have a per-
sonal application. The conversation
rapidly assumed a strongly personal
character and Weber knocked johnson
out of the wagon, or he fell out in the
s%cutflle, as Weber claimed. The first
round was evidently in Webber's favor.
When johnson recovered his second
wind the tables turned. He seized a
shovel and attacked Webber so ~viciously
that he came very near having to answer
to a charge of murder, the victim being
very seriously cut about the head and
neck and being broaght to town weak
from the loss of blood.
Judge Race, in pronouncing judgment,
said that owing to the fact that he con-
sldered the evidence to show that the
complaining witness was not without
blame in the matter, he would let the
defendant off with d fine of so and costs,
although were it not for this circum-
stance he would have felt like gi ,ing the
fullest penalty the law allows.

Some ten years ago a neighbor owned
a vicious, runaway, kicking mare. After
repeated attempts to subdue her she was
given up as a hopeless case. She was

disposition, but retained the dams

described her correctly, "You can talk

A HORSES MOUTH.


- 49, ~ -"
Veterinary Surgeon Martin says:
During tho many years in which the
writer has been engaged III the practice
Vt veterinary medicine there is nothing
that has been more forcibly brought to
his attention than tho indifference of
most people to the condition Of the
horses mouth. They seem to think tho
mouth never becomes %doranged, when,
in fact, it is me Of tho most sensitive
organs OF tho equine economy. All
young horses coming 3 OF 4 years old
should have their teeth and mouth care.
fully examined when any symptoms of
tenderness are shown in the mouth, as
it is at this age that some Of the milk
molars are replaced by tho permanent
ones. In somo ,ses the crown of the
former is only partially displaced and
gives rise to much main and annoyance
to tho horse. l have seen p young horse
that had it's throat blistcrcd with lini-
ment and was treated for distemper
when the trouble was due to misplaced
crown of a milk molnr, which, upon re-
moval, gave instant relief. Again, in
some horses the structure of the teeth is
of u comparatively soft nature and
wears rapidly on the grinding substances
IN u ragged and uneven manner, which
severely cut and lacorate the tongue and
checks. This defect may be easily rcme-
died by the use of the mouth rasD, an
instrument that may now be found in
nearly all hardware stores. To heal the
raw surfaces q little alum and boraX
dissolved in water will act ef~fectually.
This humane method, if pursued by peo-
pie who own horses, will prevent much
suffering to the horse and at tho same
time amply repay the owner in tho i'm
proved appearance of his animal, and in
many cases prevent the loss of much food
by pudding and soldering.
A few words in regard to those bug.
bears Of most horse owners-namely,
lampas, SO called, and wolf teeth. Lam
pas is supposed by most people to pos
sess some mysterious power over "a horse
whereby his appetite becomes deranged.
They therefore resort to cutting and
burning the poor brute's mouth under
the mistaken notion OF curing the lam
pas. The writer Of this has been engaged
in the care Of horses for 20 years and
has yet to see a horse that was affected
physically in any way by lampas, except
in the imagination Of it's owner. 1t is
the same with the SO called wolf
teeth" These teeth are the vestigial re-
mains of premolar teeth that, in the re-
motp ancestors of tba horse 1yera f,1po.
%tional, and they have become through
disuse mere rudiments as it were of
their former selves. They do not, by
some occult means, affect the eyes Of
horses and cause them to go blind, nor
are they responsible, as some good peo-
pie contend, for Il horse being in poor
condition. Nor is it at all necessary to
punch them out with "a hammer and
cold chiSel.

Alfalfa had best be suyyn early in the
spring if the soil is III good condition.
There is danger of injury from hard
freezing. Alfalfa has done better III the
dry regions of the west, often ca sandy
soil, than it has cast of the MisSissipDi
river, 1t thriyes best where it can be
irrigated, but there seems no good rca-
sou why it should not thrive fairly well
on sandy soil in northern Illinois. From
10 to 20 pounds Of seed per acre are ad-
vised to be sOwn.
Better success may be expected if the
seed IS sown alone rather than with a
nurse or grain crop. While when we'll
established the plants are hardy and
continue to grow for a series of years,
there has often been difficulty in secur-
ing a satisfactory stand and growth
the first year. The young plants are i'll
Jured by severe cold. 1t should NOT he
pastured, at least not closely, the first
season.
This alfalfa is Of very great value in
much of the drier part OF the country.
On tne other hand, while it has been
tried i'll "a multitude OF cases in the Mis-,
sisslppi valley and farther east, it ha,
not come into general use east of the
Mississippi and rarely east Of the Mis-
souri,. Where red clover thrives well al
falfa is hardly to be recommended, says

bic Tor a Canter on a cold winter day,
His temperament was simply indomita-
bic, and he transmitted it to all his de-
scendants.
Manbrino, father OF the American
trotter, was the most distinguished Of
all Messengers colts He was a gray,
and the high spirit Of the great horse is

which the newspaper picture is repro

stepped. Mambrino was owned by Low
is Morris in New York and was a colt
in 1906. They had handsome horses in
America even SO, far back as that.
One fact concerning the American
trotter is not generally known. 1t is
that all trotters are originally from
Arab stock, and there is a large infu-
sion of the oriental blood in them. TO
this day the practiced eye can detect in
them a resemblance to the famous barbs

on the wane, Advices received here

the extent of nearly SS,U00,00o in five

again about to increase its capacity and

and new machinery. A contract has
already been let to Contractor Strassburg
to erect the buildings, which will be two
in number and constructed of brick, two
stories high. The first building is to be

cost, completed, about $1,000. and work
on the building will at once

NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY.
Ihe Rate, !te to he Cut Just One Half
From Ola Prices.

From Ola Prices,
tor the last three or four days a paper
mas been quietly circulated among the
business men of Great Falls piedging
theul TO take one or more telephone
instruments from d new company, which
IS about to apply to the city council for
a franchise, and commence business in
opposition to the Rocky Mountain Bel
Telephone company, which has long
enjoyed a monopoly of the telephone
business in Great Falls, and who charges
SD a quarter for instruments 10 business
houses and So d quarter for instruments
IN private houses. At these rates only
the rich, or those whose business make
1t an absolute necessity, could afford to
nave instruments IN their private resi-
dences, and many business houses who
were forced TO economic and reduce
expense got along without an instru-
ment, which was of comparatively small
value to them on account of the res
tricted exchange list.
The new company agree to charge not
more Thar SLJO per quarter for business
houses and not more than Sc per quar-
ter for residences. Under these con-
dl'ions, which cut the old rates iust in
two, they have already received orders
for about go instruments and have the
pledges of more than 100 business men
to give their patronage to the new com
pany. No canvas has yet been made
among any but the business men on
Central e and immediate vicinity
but the projectors of the new COMPANY
feel confident that they can get orders
from d large number of private house
owners, which will very largely increase
the benefit Of the exchange to all con
cerned.
They anticipate no difficulty in getting
a franchise from the city council for the
new company as there has been much
dissatisfaction expressed for a long time
over the service and rates of the old
company.
1t is further stated by the gentlemen
connected with the new enterprise that
they expect to make connection with
Belt, Sand Coulee, Sun River and other
near points at an early date.
