what they would do when they caught
the dude tenderfoot alone. Suddenly
he stood before them at their mercy.
It was great scene there in the
glare of the campfire, by. the yellow
waters OF the Little Missouri. Con-
tempt gave way to admiration. The
cowboys called the Marquis a "brick,"
grasped his hand, drank round of
"forty rod" with a cactus in 1T, and
accepted the Marquis invitation to
be his guests in town for the night.
With a whoop and a bang, they
mounted their horses, forded the river,
rode to the white cottage where the
little woman was awaiting her hus-
band, and gave her three cheers and
a tiger, and then proceeded to enjoy
the Marquis refreshments. He threw
things wide open. The cowboys named
his wife Queen of the Cattle Range"
and drank her health through the night
as they painted the town red"
1t was admitted that her courage
in leaving the little chapel to warn
her husband in the presence of rough
drunken men with pistols drawn saved
his life, for they would have hunted
him down to his death. After this
there was nothing good enough for
the little wife and her husband.
But there were others, the bane Of
all true cattlemen, who had to be

1t may be interesting to explain that

a trust, has revolutionized Western

quently stampeded, broke down the
fence and destroyed the crops, eSpe-
cially in hard winters with the nler-
curry at forty below zero and not a
blade of grass visible under three feet
of marbleiZed snow.
Marquis de Mores was one of the
first to use barbed wire for-cattle. This
fence, so obnoxious to the cattlemen
at the beginning and the cause OF
much litigation and endless quarrelS,
later became worth millions to the cat
tlemen of Wyoming, Montana and
Idaho, where vast tracts of govern
ment land were fenced in, with miles
of rivers watering them. Cattlemen
found they could telephone on these
wire fences hundreds of miles over the
plains to their foremen with the herds
or their offices and homes when they
were far away on the annual round
ups.
1t was this barbed wire fence bust
ness, the tailor made clothes and the
dude style of riding horseback, bob
bling up and down on little fapJack
English saddles, that made the French
man very unpopular with the cowboys.
But he soon showed the stuff that was
in him and became fayorite.
Pretty Wife Baked Riders.
One morning Mrs. de Mores was at
prayer in the little Roman Catholic
chapel that her husband had built
when a gang of cowboys came thumb
ering into Medora, swearing ven
geance against the Marquis. The little
lady heard their threats as they rode
by, and fearleSsly walked out of the
chapel to warn her husband, who was
away on the prairie. The cowboys
saw bit of dainty beauty, in cambria
and lace. leaving the chapel and cross

husband, but the sight of the brave,
handsome American woman touched
their hearts. They considered ''the
laugh on them" put up their revolvers
and rode back to camp across the
river.
The marquis had not seen the sig
nal. When he returned at dusk he
found his wife awaiting him and, kiss
ing her, heard her story. He was furi-
Gus, and declared he would have it out
with the cowboys that very night. De-
spite her entreaties he rode away in
the darkness, picketed his horse at the
river and crept up to the campfire,
where the cowboys were still telling

TROUSSEAU whss ef s Virginia Woman TEN DOLLARS

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-She was of
the noble army of the Virginia invas-
ion of New York. Statistics say there
are as many Virginians in New York
as in Richmond.
The old farm-once a plantation Of
many acres and part of a royal patent
had yielded so niggardly a crop of
ready money of late that something
had to be done. There were the three
little sisters growing up and the wild

must be the imam of the family" So
she had sent out fight of cards an

day the anti-Reeder forces are conf
dent of victory, and it looks very much
as though ]. r. Burrow, of Smith Gem

feat Reeder - if Reeder is defeated.

Reeder forces effected a coup by bring
ing out DR.. Slagel for that place, there
by securing the entire Smith county
delegation for them in the contest Tor

Wellington it is anything to beat
Reeder- A pledge was circulated TO-DAY
among the anti-Reeder delegates
pledging the signers that they would
a no time vote for Reeder, and at noon
it had been signed by 40 delegates.
The boom for Elmer Ames, of Nor
ton, was largely for the purpose OF
keeping Norton county from lining up
for Reeder. AmeS and Norton county
are for Burrow if he wants them.
While the Osborne county contest was
settled last night in favor OF the Reeder
delegation, the contest from Decatur
county had not been settled at noon,
and the convention was postponed un-
til 80 this afternoon pending the de-
cision This means 2:30 here. Both
delegations are said to be for Reeder,
and it is claimed by the Reeder forces
that the decision viii have no bearing
on the result
The general opinion at noon was that
neither White nor Wellington will win
and that it will be Reeder or a dark
horse, probably Burrow. Reeder and
his managers, who were confident Of
victory last night, are now less certain
of the result on account of the hard
fight against him by r. W. McGonigal,
Ames and others, particularly in Nor
ton county.
The fight on the Mitchell county dele
cation did not result in any change,
and that delegation viii remain solid
for Reeder.
If Burrow gets the congressional
nomination, it will mean a new align
ment on the state ticket Burrow now
has a clear field for the nomination for

today that the recent rains had not

HOW SHIBE SEES IT.
Thinks Supreme Court Decision Ap-
plies to Laioie Only.

Philadelphia April 23.-Presidept Ben
jamin F. Shibe of the Philadelphia
American League club after consulta-
ton with the clubs attorneys, relative
to the supreme courts decision in the
Lajoie case. said: THE opinion of the
supreme court in the Lajoie case applies
only tc Lajoie. and has no reference to
any other player.
The court holds. upon the testimony
which was submitted by the plaintiff
alone that Lajoie is an extraordinary
bah player whose services can not be re-
placed and it is because of the extra
ordinary character of his abilities that
the decision of the court of common
pleas has been reversed. Before an in
junction can be secured against him or
any other player, it viii be necessary
to prove that such player possesses the
extraordinary abilities which are laid
down as the basis of the supreme court
decision. In other words, this decision
can not cover the case of any other ball
player in the country. Each case will
stand upon its own particular facts and
it is absurd to suppose that the supreme
court of Pennsylvania or of any other
state viii restrain an ordinary ball play
er, even assuming that it might restrain
LajOie."
