GyDsies Leave.

The gypsies that have been giving
the Moline authorities no end of trou-
bic lately concluded their depreda-
tions by attempting to rob the resi-
dence of Lieut.. f. w. Hunt, east of
Moline, on the river. Mr.. Hunt heard
them and awoke the midnight echoes
by firing n shotgun out of the win

given the band notice to leave, it is
said a vigilance committee would
have taken matters into its own

Heavier Than Expected.

Great Falls, June 26.-Shearing Is
progressing rapidly in the Milk river
country. There are now n machine
plant at work and several gangs OF
hand shearers. Nc saloons are allowed
near the shearing pens, and the result
is very satisfactory to both shearers
and the woolmen. Contrary to expec-
tation the clip is heavie than was an
ticipated, IT having been thought that
the abundance of rains this spring
would make the fieeces light. The loss
OF weight through this source is appar-
entity more than offset by the favorable
conditions of the winter n spring.
The number of mutton sheep will be
unusually large for the same reason.
and there will also be quite a large
number of stock sheep for sale after the
close of the shearlng season. These
items in connection with the prospect of
high prices for wool make the wool
grower look happy this summer.
