HORSES FROM THE EAST
Received at the Bitter Root
Stock Farm.
FAMOUS SIRE, BOW BELLS
some OF the Best Known Stock in the
Country Among the Arrivals.
They Are Sure to Make
a Mark.

Hamilton, Dec 9-The Bitter Root
stock farm received in its recent con-
slsnment of horses from the East,
Drought in this week by DR.. Haygard,
some of the best known stock in the
country, and stock which is certain to
make mark for the farm. Among the
consignment was the famous sire of
trotters, Bow Bells, of which horse the
last issue of the American Stock Farm
has this to say:
Just as we are preparing to go to
press w. w. Estill telephones us that
the great young stallion Bow Bells
Elsa, Tor several years past the premier
stallion of the Elmwood stud, had just
been sold to the Fasig-Tipton company
OF Madison Square garden, New York
FOR whom and at what price the horse
was purchased was not given out, but
IL is said that he was purchased for the
same gentleman who few days ago
bought the great brood mare Rosy
Morn, dam of Boreal 2:15A. AS to the
price, it must have been a large one,
as it was but recently reported that
$l5,0Oo had been refused for the great
son OF Electioneer and Beautiful Bells
Bow Bells 2:19A in a 1st-year-old bay
stalilon, and one Of the most prom
inent members of the famous Election
Ger Beautiful Bells family, and as a
sire ranks with the best of his age in
the country. Foaled in 1887, he got his
first standard performer In 1894, when
ne was seven years old, when Alarm
Bells trotted in 2:29M, and the now IA
nous Boreal trotted to a record Of 2:1714
as 2-year-old. Since 1894 Bow Bells
standard list has increased materially,
until now, at Il years of age, he is the
sire Of Is game and fast race horses, in

r. 2:14 at years: Boreal, 2:15A, Matin
Bells, 2:16A, Ringing Bells 2:13la, Be-
qu1ta 2:17A and more of note. Coming
to Kentucky several years ago he rap
idly forced his way into public favor,
and his stud career in this state has
been remarkable. Each season found
his book well filled early with the best
bred mares and the paddocks of the
Blue Grass fairly TEEN with the most
promising youngsters of this section.
His reputation as a sire of early and eX-
IRENE speed is established, and not
matter where he is located in the future
his popularity and success are assured.
We regret to see the great horse leave
Kentucky and trust that he will be as
we'll received in his new home as he
has been here.
With Bow Bells came a young and
untried stallion by Directly and such
performers on the trotting turf as Rosy
Morn, dam of Boreal, Pisa Directress
2:19, the great mare Elloree 2:0SA, Ex-
tasy, one of the phenomenal 3-year-old
performers of this year, with a record
of 2:11a; Laurels, bred at this farm,
sold and repurchased, and several 9TH
ers with records. In all there We're 20
trotters and thoroughbreds in the lot.
Some of these horses cost a nice sum of
money. Extasy being bought for $500
and Elloree for $4.750t These horses are
bound to add to the Worldwide fame of
the Bitter Root stock farm.

ARRANGED THEIR REPORT
State Board of Game and Fish
Commissioners.
GOOD WORK OF WARDENS
tious-A Study OF Fish and Fish
Foods-Plans for Fish
ways

Missoula, Dec. 10.-At the meeting
of the state board of game and fish
commissioners held Saturday in Mis-
soula the matter for the report to the
governor was carefully gone over and
arranged. The report will be prepared
in very short time and submitted. 1t
is intended by the board to call atten-
ton to the difficulties under which they
work at present, under existing laws,
and by this report place before the
governor and the people the exact con-
dition of affairs, so that the matter of
suitable legislation may be fully dis
cussed before hand, and not after the
legislature meets.
The report of the state warden, r. A.
Wagner of Bozeman, was received
Mr.. Wagner was complimented very
highly for the sacrifice he has shown in
taking this work and devoting his en-
tire time to it when there is no funds
to pay a salary. His report shows that
he and the wardens appointed in the
10 counties that have wardens have
been faithful and conscientious, and
have been productive in doing much
good in moral way as we'll as in
catching violators. There is no doubt
community saves many violations.
The commission authorized the chair
man, Professor M. j. Elrod, who is also
director of the biological station locat-
ed at Flathead lake, to make study OF
the fish and fish food of the lakes and
streams Of the state in connection with
the work of the station, with the view
of having something definite on hand on
which to base requests for distribution
of fish fry, and to know the conditions
prevailing in the waters as regards fish.
Such work, if given both in the report
of the station and of the fish commits
sion, will have a large circulation and
will be more valuable on this account.
The board instructed the state war
den to secure or prepare suitable plans
for fshways. in accordance with the
specifications in the law. These plans
are to be filed among the papers of the
commission, SO that parties asking for
information as to fishways or who may
be required to build them, may see what
is acceptable to the board.
The board recommended that a me-
mortal be presented to congress asking
the United States government to place
a fishway in Clarke's Fork al Thomp-
son Fall. and that the northern and
western boundaries of the park be es-
tablished by survey.
Professor Elrod gave notice that he
wished to take advantage of the law
relating to state institutions and use
a seine in Flathead lake and the outlet
of Swan river in connection with the
work of the biological station next sum
mer.

Cape Nome district, Alaska. This deed
transfers from Isaac Abernathy to the
pany the Missoula placer claim in the
new district. The consideration is $780,
600. The new company has organized
and is prepared to proceed early in the

that were located by Mr.. Alternately
last year.
The directors of the Montana and

they have this year. 1t is the hope of
their friends here that they will.

The Till Was Tanned.

Missoula, Dec. 1o.--The till of Lee &
Thibideau, who run a saloon on Front
street, is supposed to have been tapped
by Frenchman by the name of Louis
German, better known as French
Louis. 1t appears that Louis and sew
eral Of his friends were in card room
playing, and there being no one else In
the barroom the bartender stepped into
an adjoining room to visit with a friend
for few minutes. When he returned
he found German coming from behind
the bar The bartender examined the
till and found that he was minus about
SIS and accused German of taking it,
He had warrant issued for Germans
arrest, which was served on him last
evening by Officer Larson. German was
released on $50 bonds to appear before
justice of the peace Monday morning.
1t is hoped that if German is guilty that
he will be made to suffer the extreme
penalty of the law. Winter is coming
on and the town will be more or less
filled with men who will be out of work
and who will, if possible, resort to the
same way of making a living.
