Acres OF Timber and Agricultural Lands.

A recent decision of the board of
state land commissioners will result
In the taking up ofthousands of acres

ernment has allotted 1t by the law
ceding sections l6 and 36 OF each
township OF the state.
The state land agent will soon be-
gin the labor making the selections.

these lands and selecting other Sec
tions. To obtain the full allotment
at once IL Will be necessary to pursue
the latter course.

erence will be given to agricultural

Boston Wool Market.

Boston, June 5.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say
Of trade tomorruw:
While the wool market is still quiet
the demand shows some tendency to
expand. A few sizable lines have
been moved, 1t ls reported, but most
OF the business still consists OF mod
crate sized lots. The outlook for n
good volume OF business Is considered
more encouraging, however, by cure
ful observers, and they state that
they would not be surprised to see
fairly good trade In progress during
the course Of the next few weeks.
The trend OF the goods market Ii
still toward Improvement. though as
yet the volume Of business IL not very
largely increased, but IA number Of
manufacturers report that they have
received more orders and many OF
those who come into the murket look
more hopeful and talk more encour-
agingly, especially some OF the dress
goods people and the makers ofsome
lines OF mems wear woolens. As far
as prices are concerned, however,
there Is certainly no Improvement to
be noted. The pressure exerted by
the South African woods has resulted
In lowering the prices for good do
nestle quarter-bloods to 2O-cent
basis, and ali lines of medium and
low wCols are In the buyers favor.
The holders Of new territory woods
who paid for them equivalent to 40
cents clean landed are asking prices
ranging from II to 45 cents clean,
which consumers will not pay unless
woods are very fine or run largely to
staple.
The eastern houses are still buying
In the west. especially In Wyoming,
although the activity in the interior
IL not as pronounced az 1t was. The
sales for the week In Boston amount
ed to 8, 1880 pounds domestic and
356,OOo foreign, making n total of
3,7S5,000 pounds, against a total OF
2,I9O,OO for the week previous and
total Of ,721 100 for the correspond
Ing week last year. The sales since
January ! amount to 9i,9l2,9OO
pounds, against G3,9i5,OOO for the cor
responding time last year.

W. Egan Shot While Stealing Mea
From Company Boarding
House at Kendall.
WOUNDED MAN WILL RECOVER.
Peeulations From Company Store
House Have Extended Over a
Period Of Two Months.

VIII Polly, the proprietor OF the
boarding house Mt Kendall shot and
wounded William Egan while the
latter was engaged in stealing meat
from the hotel at ll;I5 last Thurday
night.
Canned goods OF every description
and many pounds Of meat have been
abstracted at intervals during The
last two months from Polly's store
house and though closely watched,
the thief escaped detection until
last Thursday night.
On Thursday evening Polly waited
I'm the assay Office. armed with
32 cal. revolver, intending to effect
ually scare the light fingered gentle
man when he made his appearance.
The window Of the assay Office IL
opposite the door OF the meat house
and Polly waited with the top sash
lowered until ll:l5 at which time he
saw n man entering the door OF the
meat house In stealthy manner.
Polly Immediately shouted to him
to which seemingly no attention was
paid and directly after fired a shot
to scare the thief who at this mo-
ment struck a match and could be
plainly seen standing with u butcher
knife In his hand. Another shot was
fired at random and this time the
bullet after striking the screen door
hit Egan In the right breast causing
bad flesh wound.
The wounded mans cries attracted
attention and a number of miners
were soon on the spot, who took the
wounded man to his tent short dis
tance away. VIII Polly immediate
ly telephoned for n doctor and ut
the same time telephoDed the sheriff
In Lewlstown that he was coming
down. Having informed Grant Rob-
inson, the foreman, 0f the occurrence
he started for Lewistown and arriv-
cd In the city Mt five o'clock.
No complaint having been entered,
Polly was turned loose pending news
from Doctors Stoll and Wilson who
had gone to Kendall to attend the
wounded man. A telephone mess
age was received early In the morn
Ing stating that the man was ser.
lously wounded, but his condition at
the time OF writing Is much improved
and no serious results are eapprehend.

X. II. Floyd-Jones has just returned
