been poorly filled. SO that the yield was
extremely Disappointing. Tit scattered
threshing returns which came from the

upward turn to prices.

changed into exceeding strength. The
crop damage reports were too persistent

too universal for the business to retain Its
early undemonstrative character. An hour

The decline OF which we spoke In our

rather lower prices have again been es-
tablished. a copper has been selling

DO not come In as fast as they would like

The Usual Mistake.

Great Falls. June 29.-This morning
about 9 o'clock a small boy by the name
of Albert Bailey was cleaning a small
revolver at his home on the south side.
OF course he thought that Ii was not
loaded, and the usual mistake oc-
Cured. The bal struck him in the
right leg, and ranged downward below
the knee, where 1t was discovered and
cut out by DIR. j. ii. Fairfield. The
wound is not at all dangerous, as the
raliber of the pistol was only %, but
it Is enough to keep the boy at home
and out of mischief until after the
Fourth OF July, and perhaps later.

FLED FROM HIS WIFE.
A Bitter Taste TO the Prunes and n Hard
Side to the Club,

Great Falls, June 29.-The troubles OF
numerous as the stars in the heavens
or the leaves on the trees. They re-
side at Kibbey, on a ranch, and semi
occasionally they have a falling out
which runs through varied courses, and
so far has always ended in reconcilia-
ton and the intense amusement of the
n~efghbors. History has not kept an
accurate record of the number of times
they have been separated. with or with
out divorce, only to find that they could
net exist without each other, but John
is in town al the present time as the
result of the latest quarrel. and he is
seeking legal advice and the aid of the
law. q,
This is the story he tells: On Jun
20 he. Mrs. Giesey and her daughter
Hattie were seated at the dinner table
partaking of their usual meal. One OF
the viands was a dish of stewed prunes.
He tasted them and said they were bit
ter. His wife said they were all right,
and he must eat them without further
kicking. He obeyed, but in a short time
ne was seized with commissions He
wished his wife and her daughter TO
administer to him in his illness. but
they declined. and went to a dance at
Ober's, leaving him TO wallow around
on the floor with his gripes. He lay
on the fioor all night. groaning II
unable to help himself or TO call help,
as the nearest house vas half a mile
distant, and the commissions never left
him.
He further says that on the following
Friday he again noticed the bitter taste
in his food. and refused to eat any
more. Il spite of his desistence. the
gripes again attacked him So did his
wife, and it is upon this drastic treat
ment thai he makes complaint. He says
she took a club a. , began to pound
him. The doors and the windows were
locked, but in some unconscious way he
managed to get out of the house. The
last thing tina he remembers is having
been in the corral, where his loving
wife was administering comfort to
him with a barrel stave. Somehow
he succeeded in getting away from his
Nemesis and fed TO John Croff's, where
he found refuge for the night. and could
indulge in commissions to the full of
his desire. In the morning he sent for
Judge William G. Lee, and that gentle
man advised him to flee to Great Falls.
Now, any old thing will flee when wom-
an pursueth, and John thought the ad-
vice was good. He made his second
hegira, and now the officers will go out
to investigate. and II they find anything
wrong the will face the lioness in her
den, and probably make an arrest.

. Great Falls. June 2e.-About so men
had gathered at 4 o'clock this after
noon back of the Stockholm beer hall
t o watch a fight between Frank Kib-
hey and Ned Walsh. There was not
much science; they throttled each other
and clinched whenever they got the
chance, and there was not a referee to
tell them to break away. Just at the
hottest part Chief Guerin noticed that
there was something up in that yicini-
ty, and ran over to investigate. He
called the fight a draw, and took both
to the station, where they will wait
over night for a final decision from
the police magistrate.

Picking Pockets With Toes.

From the Boston Transcript.
The Gauchos. or jewellers In the extern
sive plains Of Buenos Ayres. are marvel
ously dexterous with both hands and feet.
Many OF them have acquired through long
practice such skill in using their toes as
IL they were fingers that they can fling
the lasso and wen pick pockets with
them. Some time ago a Frenchman who
was fishing in one of the rivers OF Buenos
Ayres was warned 10 be on his guard
against the Iight-fngered natives. He
forthwith kept a v~igilant watch on his
companions. but nevertheless one day
when his attention was closely riveted on
his float a willy Gaucho drew near and
delicately inserting his foot. extracted the
F~renehnan's hook. and other valuablss
from his pocket.

so shortly.
The trade is especially unanimous In
believing that wool will eventually 20 to
much higher prices. but they are far
from being agreed that this end will be
reached in the immediate future. Prices
are as well maintained as they ave been
