cost, as the run killed one of his
best horses. Mr.. Shoddy informed
US that parties having horses on
the range and desirous of getting
them can, if they will meet at his
place on June II, start with him
and join in the rodeo. He will
furnish provisions and other neces-
ssry supplies for the roundup.

wild.

Boise Statesman that Blaine county
warrants are worth 80 cents. They
should be worth 100 cents, and
would be if it were not for the fact

cents, their actual value. Because

warrants that does not establish
their value.
