for his management The price ia not
given. but it is one of the largest con-
Germs in the state, owning vast herds of
sheep and splendid ranches. the oonsid.
GRAFTON If deal was perfected must
have been in the neighborhood Of a
quarter Of a million dollars.
The Great Falls Tribune has the fol.
lowing to say on the matter:
1t is learned that W. A. CLARK of
Butte is the capitalist negotiating for
purchase of the property of the Sage
Greek Sheep Go. of Utica, in which L.
H. Hamilton of this city aud Rev.
Jacob Mills of Billings are the prinoi-
pal stockholders. Their price is under

Tuesday next the murderers, William

committed on September 24th, their
capture by jeff Sherman and posse not
being effected until nearly week after.
James Calder, who is in the Jail below
the court house, is alone, except for the
occasional company Of a drunk or dis.
orderly capture BY the town marshal.
Billy Calder and Fisher find the days
long in thoir solitary confinement in

members Of the sheriff force they sell
dom even so much as see human be-
ing. Frequently, when the windows
are open. the Calder boys converse in

serves to break the monotony. Fisher
