HORSES FOR DAKOTA
CUSTER COUNTY STOCKMAN
SPEAKS OF CONDITIONS.
HIGH PRICES FOR GOOD STOCK
In the Neighboring Commonwealth
Many People Think Montanans Are
Bold, Bad Lot, and Handy
With Gun.

Dave Raymond, prominent stockman
of Custer county, who has just returned
from North Dakota, where he had been
disposing of a shipment of horses, was
in town yesterday.
Horses are getting back to their old
place in the market" said M. Kay
mond. despite the bicycle and the
automobile, the horse is bound to hold
his own.
six or seven years ago, you could buy
a straight band of horses for Sc or 81 a
head, and then the market was poor;
nobody wanted them.
Then people predicted that the horse
was bound to go; he had to make way
for the more progressive automobile ana
electric car: but the pleasure of sitting
behind a spanking team will last as
long as the world goes round, and our
from the EARTH
Fair Price for Horses.
II had two carloads of horses with me
this time and got very fair price for
them. Ten or fifteen years ago the Da-
kota market was the best for Montana
horses; new settlers We're arriving in
that state by the hundred and they had
to have horses of some kind.
ANY kind of a cayuse was negotiable.
Bands of old skates that had been run
ming wild on the ranges here for years
were rounded up and driven down to be
disposed of at the owners price.
1.-The depression in the horse market
has been blessing in one respect, how
ever. 1t has raised the standard OF
breeding. AS long as common, scrub
cayuse fetched a good price there was
no object in breeding good horses.
1.-The Dakota farmer has become more
prosperous now and demands better
grade of horse; he wants heavier and
better bred horse than the old Indian
pony, and is willing to pay the price for
him.
knowledge Not General.
"It is remarkable how little the aver
age Dakotan knows about Montana.
"You may talk about the Fasteners
idea of the West, but in our neighbor
state of North Dakota we are very
much misunderstood.
"Why, in many of those little farming
communities, they expect a Montana
man to make his entry into town in the
boisterous, dime-novel fashion of the bad
cowboy.
when they discover that you are just
like other white people. wear your hair
short and don't punctuate your con-
yersation with a shooter, they seem
very much surprised.
II really felt that I was bold, bad
man after all. and had a difficult time
trying to remember that we We're sup
posed to be quiet and respectable folks
back on the Rosebud"
Mr. Raymond will leave today for his
home after having spent the holidays in
Butte.

EXTENSIVE REPAIRS
TO BE REHABILI.
TATED AT ONCE.
RENEWING ATTORNEYS OFFICE
Departments of Jail Receiving Atten-
t1on-WomeA's Rooms and Quasi
Sick Ward-Patching Up
the Floor Tiles.

The quiet period following Christmas
is being used at the courthouse in clean
ing house and rehabilitating the fur
nlsh1ngs in some particulars.
o The county attorneys offices are being
frepalnted. repapered and recarpeted and
generally brushed up.
While the work is in progress the
rooms are rather torn up looking. but
they will present fine appearance when
1T has been completed.
q Besides that the witnesses department
OF the county Jail is being repaired in
several of it's rooms. Injuries suffered
by the rooms at the hands of sick people
who have inhabited them are being re-
paired.
Only an Excuse.
The witnesses department is the onlv
excuse for a receiving hospital or sick
ward that the county boasts, and it is
usually occupied by sick people or
wounded or otherwise injured people who
are in some way involved in trouble.
just at present the only patient in the
rooms is Tim Sullivan, a man who was
sent up from the city Jail by the police
last night for medical attendance. the
police having diagnosed him as a county
patient.
The man says he is woodchopper and
l--dl lie occupies cabin on the Parrot
flat. He said he could not use one of
his arms, when he was brought in last
night, and appeared to be suffering from
an injury to the arm or rheuma tism or
something of the kind.
The jailer made an effort to call Dr.
Smith. but was unable to reach him.
Asks for Amputation.
This morning Sullivan wanted one of
his legs cut off and the other half cut
off, and he could not remember how he
got into Jail. He had a cut over one
eye, and it was evident he had had a
fall or had been in fracas of some sort.
The woman's department of the Jail
is being repaired ALSO A good many of
it's adjuncts have been demolished la tely
by patients who have been confined with
in it.
These things. which include the screens
on the windows, the steam radiators and
the other appurtenances, are being re-
placed.
The thing in the main corridors of the
courthouse has been patched up also
lately. The thing had been falling to
pieces for some time, and the patching
was much needed.

Warrants Issued.

Chief of Police Reynolds decided this
morning to get out warrants for at least
two Junk dealers of the city who have
been buying junk and property alleged
to be stolen, in violation of the city Ordi-
nances.
For months past the police have been
after certain gangs of boys, half-grown,
who have been committing numerous
depredations and stealing scrap iron, ore
and even invading the homes Of resi-
dents, to steal anything that could be
converted into junk.
THE stolen property has been easily
disposed of to the junk men, who are
alleged to have encouraged the juvenile
thieves.

Yesterday afternoon another bold day
light robbery was committed by gang
of bows. who used sleds to convey away
the stolen goods.
The premises at 213 South Montana
street, occupied by Louis De Mars, We're
entered and a lot of valuable tools. a
small stove and a $65 base burner were
stolen.
One OF the stoves was broken up in
the stable on the premises. SO as to he
handled easier. The base burner. weigh
ing in the neighborhood of SEQ pounds,

store on East Platinum street and sold.
together with the other pieces OF scrap.
Finds His Property.
This morning De Mars visited the
store and found his property part of
which had been broken up to prevent
identification.
Chief Reynolds called the junk dealer
into the station, and after securing de-
scriptions Of the thieves notified all tho
dealers implicated in the recent pur-
chases of stolen property that he would
place them under arrest and try to have
their licenses revoked.
I'VE have to resort to extreme meas
ures." said the chief this morning.
Boldly Encouraging Crime.
Some of the junk dealers are boldly
encouraging crime among the half
grown boys in the city. who steal hun
dreds of dollars worth OF property.
which they sci! for a mere pittance.
why, in one instance I know of the
junk dealer actually providing the boys
with horse and wagon with which to
