When the fiesn was laid bare TO
the b me by the operating knife.
the bone Was found to be decayed
and n large quantity OF pus was
liberated Ii was found necessary
to make second ampulation OF
the bone in order 10 reach a place
free from disease.
The psti-nt seemed TO Stand
the operation splendidiy. The
bone had almost disappeared from
the knee jvini aud had decsyed
TO mere shell aud was simply a
mass of puss and decayed bone.
Judge Tibbilr has been sui
ferer Tor many months and has
been confined To his room much OF
the tiuie. A few weeks ago he was
able to drive about town but sub

swelling in the limb increased.

INJUNCTION DECISION.
Officials Confident That kiowa Re-
strafning Order Will Not be
Issued.

Washington,' June 10.-TLe su-
preme court of the District OF CO.
lumbia will announce today its
decision in the Injunction proceed
ings instituted by Lone Wolf, rep
resenling the coDfederaied tribes
of Kiowa, Conan che aud Apache
Indians, to delay the opening OF
the Kiowa lands. The court Off
cials served the papers in the case
on Commissioner Hermann of the
land Office, and Commissioner
Jones OF the Indian bureau, last
Thursday, but they were not
served on the secretary of the in
terror until today. An effort was
made to serve them on Secretary
Hitchcock, but he has been out of
the city since the injunction pro-
ceedings began and as he may not
return until the last of next week.
the papers were this afternoon
served on Judge Ryan, who is act
ing secretary. Interior depart
ment officials seem confident that
the court will refuse to grant the
Injunction and that there will not
be any interference with the plans
that have been made TO proceed
with the opening.
Lone Wolf went to the Indian
bureau this afternoon and had
long talk with Commissioner
Jone-. He assured the commits
sion-r that he had done his ut
most to induce the interior de-
partment to postpone the opening
until after congress bad had an
opportunity to supplement the
legislation aud that be and his as
sociates had not decided to take
the matter into tfa courts until
the department officials had en-
phatically declined to change
their programme. Judge William
M. Springer will appear as coun-
Gil for the Indians and Judge Van
deventer, attorney general for the
interior department, will repre-
sent the government.
Indian agent j b. ShoenfelI,
who is here TO attend to business
with the interior department, said
today that since the ratification
of the Greek agreement, hundreds
OF farmers from Kansas, Nebras-
ka and Western Missouri had en-.
tered the Greek country for the
purpose OF securing land at bar
gain prices. A provision OF the
treaty authorizes the Creeks to
sell part of their allotments.

SHEEPRAISERS ROLLING IN
RICHES FROM WOOL
An Extraordinary Tribute to the Re

Law-Great Increase IN Number
OF Sheep Raised.

Albuquerque, N NJ. correspondence
of the New York Evening POST The
forthcoming annual reports OF Govern
of Otero of New Mexico and of Gov
Murphy Of Arizona to the president
will contain interesting Information
for wool growers in the eastern states.
The growth of the wool industry in
the southwestern territories during the
last three years is without precedent
New Mexico has become the chief wool
producing region in the union, and
the industry is fast increasing
throughout the territory. Arizona's
wool product has increased 27 per cent
in three years. and the capital invest
ed in focks and sheep ranges in that
state is estimated at $3.50. 900 more
than in any former year. Both Gov.
Otero and Gov Murphy have given
good deal of attention lately to gath
ering facts concerning the profits, the
outlook, and the growth of the hocks,
and the wool product in the Territories
mentioned.
The recent census shows that New
Mexico has 4,467 900 sheep, worth from
$3.50 to S2-1O a head. Montana, which
in the union until two years ago, has
3,7S5,o0O sheep, and Ohio, which was
the banner wool state until the indus
try moved westward still has about
5000 600 head of sheep. Arizona has
| 1854, 600 sheep, California has 2,01S, 900
and Idaho and Wyoming have each
more than 2,OOO, 900 sheep. Ewes and
lambs form an unusually large proper
| ton of the focks in New Mexico, and
| it may, therefore be reckoned that the
| number of wooI-bearing sheep in the
| territory will be increased by more
| than 100000 during the next year.
The total number of sheep in the
The Globe-republican., 1901-01-03

United States is now about Al 900 900
and the total annual wool product in
the union is 241, 900, 600 pounds, or
fraction over five pounds of wool to
each head of sheep. During the year
ending June 80 last, the consumption
of wool in the United States was 631,-
10000 pounds, or almost three times
the home product Governor Otero
finds that an acre of fair grazing land
among the hills and mountain valleys
of New Mexico will support two sheep
each each year, and that there are 3d.
100000 acres of such pasturage. Thus,
New Mexico Will be able to maintain
los, OO0, 900 more sheep than she now
has. Governor Murphy, by a similar
line of reasoning, finds that there is
ample pasturage for 81 900 900 more
sh@ep in Arizona.
1t has been closely reckoned that
the cost of the maintenance of a flock
worth from $1,000 to $4,000 for one
year is about 81 400, thirty cents per
head This includes pay for shepherds.
food, shearing and incidental expenses.
An average yield Of wool per head is
five pounds, and the present market
price of wool, IA cents a pound each
sheep pays seventy cents year in
fleece, or a profit Of forty cents a head
per year. A flock of 1000 sheep is
therefore reckoned (barring unusual
expenses) to yield some 81 900 profit
in wool in a year The natural in
crease in lambs in an average flock is
reckoned at about 1920 each year, and
that, too, is source of large profit
where the pasturage is good for more
sheep The average number of losses
during a year in a flock of 1000 sheep
is 200, by estray, sickness and attacks
by coyotes and bears
1t has been closely estimated that
about $24, 900 900 is invested in New
Mexican sheep and wool interests.
while in Arizona about SIP. goo GOO is
invested This comprises the value OF
the focks, ranges and wool store
houses. The wool industry attracts
many young EngIishmen CT capital,
and every year the number of Eng
Hshmen in wool-growing increases

however, rapidly recovered since 1897,
and now he has more than S1.110,000
invested in sheep, wool-storing houses,
and ranges. He has $4,000 sheep, d.
vided into eleven focks- He employs
thirty-fve shepherds. two overseers
and through five months of each year
he employs twenty men who do moth
ing but shear sheep. His wool clip for
1900 amounts to about 343, 200 pounds
and the present market price for the
product ranges from twelve to fifteen
cents a pound His increase in lam BIS;
for 1900 is about 81. 900, and these are

WHAT THE FREE TRADERS AC-
TUALLY DID.

According to the Johnstown Demo-
crat, free traders did not condemn the
Dingley tariff because it closed to us
the markets of the world
Another half truth half stated, and
therefore unentitled to the serious con
sideration Of the people Yet in order
that truth may again prevail we pro-
pose here to state the facts.
In measured sense it is true that
the free traders did not condemn the
Ding1ey tariff because 1t closed the
markets of the world" to American
exporters The act had scarcely gone
into effect before the foreign markets
began to open to our products.
But what the free traders actually
did was to condemn the Dingley bill in
every possible way because if enacted
it would close the markets OF the world
to those same products. 1t did moth
ing of the kind, of course, but they re-
peated that it would a thousand times
in Congress and out.
All of which, the Inquirer submits
amounts to the difference between
tweedledum and tweedIedee, with the
Johnstown Democrat raising the issue
to deceive the people agaiu--Philadel-

excess OF the export value for the pre-
ceding four-year period In other words
received average during 1897
1900 for products of domestic agricul-
ture marketed abroad nearly 5000 ,O00,-
600 year above the annual amount
paid us for such products during 1898
1886 This is all very gratifying. it
shows how dependent the nations of
the eastern hemisphere are upon the
United States for bread and meat
These markets Will always take our
food surplus at price, but it will be
a price that we cannot control After
all, the best market for American food
stuffs is right here in America. The
more we consume here the less will be
