EXPECT A HARD FIGHT.
Officers Confident That They Have
the Great Northern Bandits.

Anaconda, Mont, July PA spe-
cial to the Anaconda Standard from
Chinook, Mont, says that Sheriff
Benner, of Great Falls, and his posse
of eleven men left there this afternoon
for the Bear Paw Pool ranch, sixteen
miles away, where horses will be fur
nished. The Great Falls posse will
he joined by the posses from other
counties, numbering in all sixty-five
men. The part y will be equipped with
good horses and plentiful supply of
provisions.
Sheriff Gritiiths apparently is abso-
lutely confident that he has the Grea
Northern robbers surrounded on Peo-
pies Creek, seventyfve miles distant,
and says that ne has left a guard of
five men there. 1t is the opinion that,
if the outlaws are taken at all, it will
be only after a bloody battle.

A TEXAS OIL WELL
In the Farthest Northwest From the
Center of the Field.

Beaumont, Tex, July IL. The Col
umbia Oil company's we'll, on Gladys
city block, No. q, "csme in" yoster-
day, very much to the surprise OF the
drillers. The depth is 100 feet, fully
200 feet less than the other gushers on
Spindle Top hill. A Guffey we'll
about 800 feet away is the only other
we'll on the hill of the same depth, and
the theory is that these two wells have
found crevice in the cap rock. The
we'll is cased with eight inch pipe and
came in while the drillers we're work
ing with six inch rotary. Some diff
ficulty was found in Withdrawing the
pipe on account of the gases. Five
men were overcome trying to work in
the spouting oil, and had to be carried
out. This we'll is the farthest one
northwest of the center of the field, but
yet well within the defined territory.
1t is 800 feet northwest of the GLADYS
No. 3, of the Gufey company, and
more than l,500 feet from any other
gusher. 1t is considered good pro-
ducer, but perhaps not as good as
some of the other wells which are we'll
into the sand.

MARKETS
ARE HIGH
Everything is Going up in
Kansas City
Wheat has at Last Begun to
Partake Of the Upward
Shoot in Prices
HAY GOES 70 $40 A TON
Has Raised so a ton During
the Last Week
The Continued Dry Weather
has Played Havoc With
all Kinds Of Crops

Kansas City. July l2-Grain mar
kets were in a turmoil this morning
on account of the continued drought.
There was tremendous pressure to
buy. Corn here went up to cents
bushel and wheat advanced 1 cents
In Chicago September corn rose 3
cents and wheat over 3 cents.
The greater rise in wheat than in
corn today was due to the fact that the
wheat market has been steadily sag
cling recently, under the Influence of
the big crop, while corn has been ad-
vancing. Traders awakened this
morning to II realization of the fact
that high corn means an enormous
consumption of wheat for feeding pur-
poses. With corn, oats, hay and
potatoes short, a greater demand must
fall on wheat, and though the coun-
try's big crop is the largest on record,
the surplus will not go far toward
making up the deficiency in feeding
crops. There we're some other factors
that helped the advance in wheat to-
day. Fear of hot: winds getting into
the spring wheat region and damag-
ing the fine growing crop cause some
buying Iand the cabled reports of a
crop failure in three Russian grovern-
ments helped the advance along.
Liverpool quoted wheat up penny
and a half hundred weight.
September corn here closed yester-
day at 525c and rose this morning to
56c. CARROTS of corn sold at 60c
September wheat here closed yester-
day at 60c and sold this morning up
to 64c. The wheat advance was
greater here than in Chicago because
of the great demand for wheat in the
Southwest for feeding. Grain men
report many country orders for wheat
for feeding TO cattle and hogs.
HAY 500 A TON,
Hay sold this morning for $40 ton,
cent pound, the highest price ever
reached in this market. This is al
most as much, pound for pound, as
wheat is worth. Receipts were very
small and most Of the hay which came
in was sold sometime ago in the coun-
try before the drought became so seri.
Gus.
Hay is so high here that it can be
shipped in from Minnesota or Ohio or
almost any state in the country that
has crop. The Iprice, therefore, is
not likely to stay so high. Other feed
stuffs we're higher. Bran was quoted
up 10 cents, at 80 cents hundred
pounds. Cotton seed meal and linseed
mea supplies are exhausted and none
is obtainable.
The advance in hay has been sensa-
tional in its rapidity. Last Saturday
hay sold for about so per ton. Tues
day morning firm of local hay deal
ers paid 5000 yer ton and an hour
later contracted as many cars as pos
sible at ,$ll. Wednesday this firm re-
ceived six of the nine cars arriving,
and the price was advanced to Sl2.
Yesterday values jumped to Sl6 and
early this morning hay of any kind
sold for $50 in car load lots.
