Poles Strung for City Exchange.

The directors Of the Red Lodge 4
Wyoming Telephone company held
a meeting in this city last Monday
evening and discussed the report
made by the gentleman who was sent
out to inspect the work performed by
the contractors who put up the long
distance line to Basin Wyo This
report was unfavorable and the con
tractors, Messrs. Close and Blanding,
claim that it is unfair to them. 1t is
probable, however, that an amicable
agreement will be reached very
shortly. Thus far there has been a
promlscuous use Of the line without
adequate compensation, and the
directors propose to systematlze the
business SO that the company shall
receive full rates for each and every
successful call over the wire.
The poles for the local exchang G
have been strung throughout the city,

ROBBED IN BUTTE.

perry. !.

Claud Banta of Carbonate, who
recently sold his ranch to Marcus
Daily for a,5OO, departed the first of
the week, via Butte, for sojourn at
Colorado Hot Springs. Upon arriv-
ing in the Smoky City, he concluded
70 take in the sights by gaslight.
An hour later, according to the Butte
page Of the Anaconda Standard, Mr..
Banta reported to the police that he
had been "touched" for $3.50, which
he had placed in one of his inside
pockets. Two suspected parties were
arrested, but as nothing could be
proven against them, they were dis
charged, and the Standard adds that
there is very little likelihood of the
robbery being punished.

War on Wolves Has Been Declared and
Will Doubtless Extend to
Coyotes
BIG BOUNTY ON BOTH
The Carbon County Stock Association Is
After Seal ps Sheepmen to Join
Cattlemen. .ms...s..

Through the medium Of the Car
bon County Stock association. organ
lied last fall by the cattlemen of the
Saltwater and Rosebud and Fishtail
creeks, a war of determination is
about to be waged against the wolves
and coyotes that infest the ranges
between Red Lodge and the yellow.
stone river.
AT a recent meeting of the associa-
ton, held at Absarokee, the boundary
lines, as originally fixed by the cattle
men who comprise the wolf killing
organization, were extended SO as to
take in much larger scope Of country
and afford greater protection against
the ravages of stock destroying
animals. Starting at Plummer's
ranch, on Butcher creek, the new
boundary line runs east 10 the divide
between that stream and Spring creek
thence along that divide to the Shane
creek divide between Rcd Lodge
creek and the brakes of the Saltwater;
thence down that divide to the head
of Tutt creek; thence down Tntt
creek to the Yellowstone; thence up
that river to the Work creek road;
thence up that road to the divide
between the Saltwater and the Yel-
lowstone, and on up that divide to
the mountains.
It is now proposed to further extend
the boundary lines SO as to include
in the associations jurisdiction all
that portion Of the county lying west
of Rock creek from the mountains
down to the mouth of that stream,
and to put a bounty on coyotes and
admit to membership all the sheep
men in the section described who
desire to become affiliated with the
movement. This matter was brought
up by Lee Smonsen and Harry
Wells. Sam Webb then moved that
the woolgrowers be taken into the
association on their agreeing to put
and pay such a bounty on coyotes as
will be commensurate with that placed
on wolves by the cattlemen. This
motion was laid over until the next
meeting, which is to be held at Absar-
okee on the first Saturday in Feb
ruary, at which time it is desired that
all the cattlemen and sheepmen living
west Of Rock creek be present.
These facts were learned from Mr..
Webb, who was in the city last Satur-
day. He said, in addition, that the
association has now in its treasury
about $3.50 and that the first bounty
was paid to O. @. Anderson. With
the association bounty of $50, the
state bounty of SIS and the hide worth
$3.50, making a total of !S27 80, wolf
hunting ought certainly to be a pay
ing avocation, and will doubtless re-
suit in melting such a war on wolves
as will ultimately bring about their
eradication from the ranges of the
county.
