CATTLE THRIVING.
Weather Conditions Favorable and tn.
Cattle Business in the State
Prosperous.

f. NJ. Prouty, Of st. Paul. formerly
Of Grand Forks, spent yesterday in.
the city on his way to the cattle ranges,
of the western part Of this state, in
which he is heavily interested, says
the Herald. Mr.. Prouty says that his
information Is to the effect that the
losses on the North Dakota and north
ern Montana ranges have been prnc-
tically nothing during the past winter,
the herds having escaped the disasters
which befell their neighbors in Wyom-
ing, in which state the terrific snow
storms Of the early part of February
destroyed thousands of cattle. bring
ing incalculable loss to their owners.
A lower temperature was expert
enced in North Dakota and Montana
than farther south, but the snowfall
was light and to this fact was attrib-
utable the escape of the Northern
herds. In Wyoming the heavy SHOWS
buried the ranges so deeply that cattle
literally starved to death. being unable
to reach the grass which lay beneath
the snow. In this state the animals
were able to find shelter from the wind
In the deep valleys and along the tim
bered streams. and had no difficulty
In finding plenty of forage.
A light snow fall, however, has its
disadvantages, as was shown last year.
The snowfall then was very light and
cattle came through the winter in
splendid condition. The sprinkling of
snow which lay upon the ground
quickly melted and evaporated. The
streams and ponds shrank to unusually
small dimensions and high winds
sucked every vestige of moisture from
the bunch grass. leaving IT like finder.
Fires We're started here md there, and
swept over the ranges. destroying the
supply of food which should have
lasted until the new grass got a good
start. The cattle which had fatted
up during the winter began to lose flesh
In the spring and literally walked their
flesh off travelling over the bare and
hlackened ground In search of the few
chance tufts of grass which had es-
capped the flames. For a time matters
looked very serious, but the spring
rains came. the grass grew rapidly,
ana the impending calamity was
averted. The ultimate result was
merely that, range cattle were not fiji
for market until. 4 much later ,Hriot1
than usual.
The problem Of keeping the ranges
supplied with breeders is one which Is
difficult of solution. The winter OF
1S96-1 played havoc with breeding ami
mails and young cattle, and, in conse
quence. the Red river valley and the
Manitoba cattle districts have been
secured for feeders until desirable cat.

or valley farmers to the fact tina,
wheat is. not the only farm product in
which there is money. and the ultimate
result will undoubtedly be to stimulate
stock raising and its allied interest,
dairying. in the agricultural counties.

Said Connella is Lvnched,

Some time ago the Tribune published
a letter from Harry Bringhurst giving
the particulars of the shooting of a resi-
dent of Everett by j. W. Connella, Il
newspaperman, formerly editor of the
Fargo Argus. 1t was stated at the time
that the feeling against Connella was
high and that he would likely be roughly
dealt with it he returned to Everett.
The Fargo Call of Sunday y
A dispatch from Olympia, Wash, has
been received here which states that a
mob of citizens of Everett, Wash, had
taken j. w. Connella from his room and
hung him to a tree near the city. Last
fall Il citizen of Everett entered the
printing office of Connella, in Everett,
with u grievance against the paper.
Words cnsued, which resulted in Con
nella shooting the man dead. Connella
was tried in court for murder in the first
degree and acquitted of the crime. He
went away for a time, but last week re-
turned and gave it out that he would
remain permanently. A committee of
citizens called at his room in the hotel
to again request him to leave, and the
men were told that Connella intended
to continue business in the city. The
following morning Connella was miss
ing and a search revealed his body
strung to a tree in the suburbs of the
city.
The jamestown Alert denies the re-
port that Connella was hanged and
says:
The report by way of Rapid City, S. D.
that j.. w. Connella of Everett, was
lynched by a mob is not true. The cor
respondent reports what a few dis
gruntled blind piggers threatened to do,
but did not. MI. Connella is in Everett
and wrote friends that his business was
better than ever.
