trying to board a passing freight train.
In attempting to swing onto n of
the cars he missed his footing and
was dragged some distance before he
let go and fell. His injuries consist
principally of bruises, caused by con-
tact with the oil boxes of the trucks
as they passed him. Tubbs vas re-
moved to the hospital for treatment.
Ada Berry, whose rich dark brown
hue denoted her to be a member of
the blackberry family, was arraigned
in police court yesterday afternoon
on the charge of being an inmate Of g
house Of i'll repute, soliciting, using
obscene language in public and with
having made a touchdown of $40 from
one Ed. Jones. Jones failed to put
in an appearance to prosecute the
more serious charge and as the other,
made by another courtezan of a light
er shade of darkness that that of the
defendant, but of the same specie,
seemed to the court to have been born
in malice, the accused was discharged
with an admonition to keep out Of
court. The same hint was given to the
complainant and both departed.
While complaint is heard from other
sections of the farming regions of the
state of a scarcity of water for irri-
eating purposes, the farmers of the
Yellowstone valley are blessed with
aN abundance and do not need to
D themselves in the use of their
". L. d. O'Donnell, one of the
st irrigators in the valley, says
never at this season of the year
.,.-s water been so plentiful as during
he present and from all indications
il is safe to assume that the same
happy condition will continue to the
end of the irrigating season, as all the
tributaries of the main source of sup
ply are running a good stage of water
as a result of bounteous rains in the
highlands.
Although it has been said that owing
to the drouth in the middle westthede-
mand for range horses has fallen off
to a degree where it is almost impossi-
BILE to dispose of them, shipments from
the northern part of the state continue
and if anything in increased numbers.
A few days ago 81 carloads were for
warded from Great Falls with Sioux
City as their destination. The ship
pers say that there is an increased
demand for good horses throughout
the east and that the market bids
fair to be better for some time to come
than it has been in the past. A partic
ular inquiry is said to exist for saddle
horses in the larger cities, showing
{ that the bicycle craze is about wearing
} itself out and that the automobile is
still to expensive a toy for the masses
I to indulge in. Estimates place the
number of horses shipped out of Mon
tana during the past three months a
500 carloads.
