A CLEVER LITTLE LAMB
Knows How to Turn Tables on
the Wolves.
1T LIKES TO HUNT THEM
With the Help OF the Stag Hounds 1t
Puts UP a Bunco Game on Brer
Wolf Which Is AL
ways Fatal.

Great Falls, Oct. ia we'll known
citizen of this town has a most re-
markable animal. Shortly after the
shearing season he was given a spring
lamb by H. H. Nelson, the Riverside
sheepman. Much care was taken with
the little ball of fleece, and he ran in and
out like one of the children. Strange to
say, the lamb and dogs of the neigh
borhood grew to be the best of friends.
They laid together in the sand and
slept as peacefully as Hagenbecks
Happy Family" and when a strange
dog came along and attempted to tease
the lamb the gang came together at the
first alarm and ran that stranger about
IA blocks.
Finally the lamb was sent out to a
ranch with the avowed intention of
fattening him up for slaughter That
will never be his fate, for the raneher
declares he is one lamb in 20000,000.
He states that the lamb actually hunts
wolves. This statement is trifie hard
to swallow at first, but backed by the
affidavits of both owner and rancher
it ought to go down.
According to the latter, who owns
a pack of stag hounds, the lamb es-
pies wolf or coyote on the neigh
boring foothills quicker than any of
them. With a wisp of straw in its
mouth, the lamb gambols off toward
the hills and the wolf, a bleating vic
tim CT innocence. apparently. The
wolf ticks its chops and says to him
self: I'm have lamb for dinner" He
draws nearer the innocent woolly
bunch, and is ready to spring on it
when the dogs give tongue on all sides
and Brother Wolf sees that he has
been buncoed. The lamb joins in the
chase and death that ensue. switching
its tail with joy as the hounds rend
the wolf in pieces

1t was carefully concealed behind a
row of bales Of rags, each bale being
about az feet long and 80 inches in
diameter The bales extended from the
door of the shed clear across the bug
gy. Over it was thrown a sheet of

rags should be disturbed the buggy
would not be visible.
A harrow, which was stolen from
one White, swtchman, living on the
west side, was found buried under

BUTTE NEWS.
He GAVE HER A BEATING
A Hurry UP Call Brought the
Police.
THEIR PERIODICAL SPAT
Allen and His Wife in Trouble Again.
Both the Principals Disappeared
Before the Police
Arrived

A hurry call came to police headquar-
tiers yesterday morning by telephone
saying that an officer was wanted at
once out on the boulevard, as a party
had just been held UP by man and
woman. An officer was dispatched to
the scene in a hurry, who, on arriv-
ing at the electric works., found the
report had been somewhat mixed and
that instead of a holdup, the trouble
was row between Fred Allen and a
woman known as his wife. 1t APP
peared that Allen and the woman had
one of their periodical spats and he
had administered beating to her.
Both had disappeared before the off,
Ger arrived, however, and no one was
arrested.
The couple have attracted the atten-
ton of the police a great many times.
She was formerly Mrs. Wolfe, but for
a long time has been living with AL
len as his wife. Whenever there is a
family jar, the police are called on
about as, yesterday, but that is as far
as the matter ever gets, as she al
ways refuses to prosecute the man.
On one occasion one of their little diff
ficulties created a great excitement in
South Main street. They were walk
ing down the street together and AL
len wanted some money. The woman
refused to give it to him, and he
snatched her purse. She set up a cry
that she had been robbed and bystand-
ers, knowing nothing to the contrary
called for the police.
In minute three or four blue coats
were after Allen, who led them a mer-
~ chase. Several shots We're fired, as
the police supposed they were. really
after a robber, and one came very
near winging Allen. The shots attract
ed two or three hundred people, who
joined in the procession, and there was

Pretty nearly all the hair preaa-a-

that cause, little germ-and that is
Newbro's Herpicide. This germ eats
its way into the scalp, down to the
hair root, where it saps that vitality,

It Is destroyed there's no permanent
