SCOURGE THAT DEClMATES
FLocks OF STATE.
ARE NOT ALWAYS POISONED
Many Sheep Die from Effects of Para
site That Greatly Resembles
Tapeworm.

One of the large f1ockmasters of
Sweet Grass county is of the opinion
that in many cases where sheep are
supposed to have been poisoned by
eating loco weed the diagnoses made
were faulty and that if the dead ami
mails had been opened it would have
been found that they died from the
effects of a parasite in the alimentary
canal which preyed upon them until
death ensued. He said that last win
ter he lost $50 lambs, all of which
had manifested the usual symptoms
of loco poisoning. At first their wool
had become rough and then the ami
mails had begun to waste in flesh.
He as we'll as his neighbors believ-
ed loco weed to be responsible for the
death of the lambs. Finally, how
ever, he concluded to open some of
those that died and found that in the
lower stomach and intestines were
parasites resembling tape worms,
some of them many feet in length. BY
watching his flock he observed that
apparently healthy sheep were affict-
ed with the same worms. In some
they developed in numbers and then
the animals would die.
AS he explained it, the parasites or
worms are not all alike, there being
two or three different varieties pres
ent in one animal, but all much of
the same general appearance, but diff
fering in size and in other respects.
While there was a general similar
ity between the symptoms manifest
ed by animals that were poisoned by
loco weed and those infested with the
worms described by him, the gentle
man quoted said a little careful in.
| vestigation will make it easy to dis
tinguish between the two. In cases
of loco poisoning the teeth Of the ami
mails, he said, became loose, some
thing that did not occur in those hav-
ing worms. Their teeth remained
sound and firm, but a Shiny mucous
was found in the mouth and was soon
followed by diarrhoea, which in urn
was speedily followed by death.
From what he had been able to
learn as the result of his own OBJ
s%ervations he gave it as his belief
that fully IS per cent Of the sheep
which died in the state from suppos-
| ed loco poisoning really died from the
cauSe he gave.

The Orchard.

Mulching orchard trees with vegeta-
BILE matter causes them to send out
feeding roots near the surface. There
fore it becomes necessary to continue
to mulch, as blowing would interfere
with the shallow root system. Cover
crops are necessary on rolling soils
that are inclined to wash, but these
crops should be cut and left on the
ground, for to make hay of such crops
is to rob the trees of what is due them.
We have long held the opinion that
grass should never be grown in an
orchard, and among grasses we include
corn, sorghum and sugar cane. Cow
peas, vetches or clovers are better, and
in such cases hay can be made, and the
stubble and roots will repay to the
trees more than they have taken away.
All such crops, however, should remain
on the ground until cool weather IN
the fall, when shade is no longer need
ed by the soil.

Destroying Wild Mustard.

This is a bad plant when it obtains
possession of a farm. 1t is often intro
duced through clover seed. but may
get in through oats or other seeds.
Where not too abundant, the best
means to eradicate it is by hand pull
ing, provided this is done before the
seeds are ripe. Another method Of de-
stroying mustard which has been wide
ly recommended is the spraying of in
tested fields with a solution of blue
stone or copper sulphate. This must
be lone before the mustard plants hav
reached a height of eight or nine
inches. Two pounds of bluestone to
ten gallons of water are used. Where
neither of these methods is practicable
a weeder or slant tooth harrow may be
used to good advantage with grain
crops. 1t is not only safe, but Of ad-
vantage to the crops. Two weddings
should be given before the grain is
seven or eight inches high.-American
Agriculturist.

LONG LOST MONEY ORDER.
Fourteen Years After Issue Is Re-
turned for Repayment.

A money order issued by the local
postoffice ii years ago was presented
for repayment a few days ago. The
order was drawn on the Los Angeles
office and was intended in payment
for taxes. For some reason it had
never been cashed and returned to
the RENTER, who meanwhile had re-
moved from this city to Livingston.
The order appears to have been for
gotten and became mixed up with
some old papers. Recently the send
er's wife found it and the original
letter which had been returned to the
sender. She sent it, together with
the letter, to Postmaster Babcock
with the request that it be repaid.
Issuance of the order ante-dating any
records of the present administration
of the office, both the letter and Or
der were forwarded to Washington.
Unless it is found that the order
has been paid by a duplicate one is
sued in lieu of the original, in time
the remitter will undoubtedly receive
his money, as Uncle Sam keeps full
account of all such matters, and the
mone paid for such orders is kept in
a separate fund.

Jane'' ~Surrenders to Silent
but MerciIess Foe.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.

Y After having successfully 'stood
off, all kinds of enemies, from Indians
down to sutlershop whiskey and dance
house forty rod" poor, old 'Calam-
ity Jane" has finally been compelled
to lower her colors to a foe as silent
as he is merciless-disease. The
years of exposure, dissipation and
hardships have come to a logical con
clusion and Jane for the first time in
her spectacular career finds herself
helpless. She is an inmate of st.
Vincent's hospital, Frustrated with
rheumatism.
Several days ago she was sentenc-
ed to the county Jail for a good, stiff
term for disturbing the peace. Short.
ly after her Incarceration she be,
gan to complain Of feeling badly and
the county doctor was called to treat
her. He found her suffering from
the malady named and as she grew
worse gave instructions for her re,
moval to the hospital, where she
could receive proper treatment. Ac'
cordingly she was taken there yester,
day and will probably have to remain
for sometime, as the disease is said
to be present in severe form.

Cultivation of Small Fruits.

A general discussion of this subject
at the summer meeting of the Missouri
State horticultural society brought
out the fact that thorough cultivation
is necessary for all varieties. Il. W.
Jenkins prefers surface cultivation
through the season. Wheat straw
mulch reflects heat and burns up ber'
ries. Discussion on dewberries brought
out the fact that they were not pront-
able unless grown in sufficient quaint
ties for carload shipments. The best
method of managing is to destroy old
canes every year and let new ones
come up the following spring.

E MUST. ANSWER.
s~heepherder Charged With Burning
Hay and Other Property.

Hay and Other Property.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Fred Lee, a sheepherder, who has
been in the employ of Richard Molt,
was brought to town this morning
by John H. Schroeder and several
others and turned over to the sheriff.
The parties all hail from the Lake
basin region and the men WAC had
Lee in charge accuse him OF the
crime of arson.
The alleged offense is said to have
been committed last Saturday, No
vember %, on which date Lee is
claimed to have set fire to a stack of
hay belonging to Schroeder, causing
it and some sheep sheds to burn.
This afternoon Lee was arraigned
before Justice Mann on the charge
of malicious mischief, as under a
special law of the state the willful
burning of hay, bridges and several
other things mentioned in the act
constitutes malicious mischief and is
punishable by a p%enitentiary sentence
of from one to 10 years. The de-
PENDANT said he had no means to en-
ploy consul and asked the court to
appoint sOme One to defend him.
Judge Mann accordingly appointed. H.
A. Firth and set the matter for Fri
day afternoon at 2 o'clock. c. L. Har-
ris appeared for the state, acting in
behalf of County Attorney Hathhorn,
who is at Big Timber today.
The testimony, while circumstan-
tial, is said to be quite strong against
Lee, who is given a hard reputation
by his captors. His apprehension
and the alleged offense leading up to
it were the outcome of some trouble
between a herder employed by
Schroeder and the prisoner. Shortly
before the destruction of the proper
ty the herder met Lee and charged
him with having robbed his camp
and in proof of the charge called Lees
attention to some articles of wearing
apparel he then had on and which
the other man said he had stolen
from him. A fight occurred and Lee
seemingly got the worse of it. When
he was allowed to go he drew a hand
kerchief from his pocket and wiped
the blood from his face, after which
he was seen to walk behind the hay
stack. Shortly afterward the man
who had whipped him saw smoke
coming from the stack and when he
got to it found it on fire and near by
was the handkerchief he had seen a
few minutes before in the possession
of Lee. 1t was bloody and by other
marks the man claims to have recog-
nized it. To make himself surer, ne
followed the trail of Lee and says
he found where it led to the stack and
then away from it.
When informed of the occurrence
Schroeder concluded not to wait for
the usual formalities, but arrest Lee
as o on as possible, before he could
have time to make his escape. This
was done and the rest has been told.
Whether rightly or not, those who
brought Lee to town say he has been
making a practice of looting sheep
camps and stealing from every one
Lelse whenever opportunity presented
itself. It is claimed that when arrest
ed he was wearing a slicker that he
stole from l. D. O'Donnell only a short

A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.
"Anheuser-Busch Kid" Spends Night
in the City.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
, Among the distinguished visitors
who spent the night in the city was
William Mccarthy, better known in
the circles in which he travels as
the "Anheuser-Busch Kid Mr.. Nc
Carthy gained considerable notoriety
recently by being accused of compile
ity in the alleged illegal registrations
in Rosebud county. A warrant for
his arrest was issued and he was TAX
en- into custody. Bonds for his ap-
pearance were furnished, but he fail
ed to appear when wanted and as it
was supposed he had returned to his
old stamping grounds, Butte, dis
patches were sent there for his appre-
tension. He al found, but before
the Rosebud county officials could go
there and take him back he was re-
leased on the order of the county at
torney CT Silver Bow, who claimed
the warrant on which he was arrest
ed was defective.
Yesterday Mccarthy appeared in the
city and announced that he was 60
ing back to Forsyth, as he had no
fears as to the outcome of the case
pending against him. For some rea-
son he did not do as he intended and
remained here. He stopped at the
Grand and registered as from For
syth.

FAST NAIL SERVICE.

Shortened Eight Hours.

The fastest daily service. ever at
tempted between Ns'vss ork and eastern
cities at one end and1St. Hsouis and western
points on the other '>-previded for in ar
ment, effective next, Saturday. The con-
tract calls for a daitxa schedule of twenty
three and a half hours between New York
and st. Louis over the Pennsylyanja rail-
road. Beginning Sunday a fast mail train
will leave New York at 2:45 o'clock am.
daily. and arrive at st. Louis at 2:15 O. clock
Monday morning. This shortens the present
schedule between New York and st. Louis by
about eight hours and practically means a
gain of day for eastern mail bound to
far western points and the southwest. The
new fast mail will reach Pittsburg at 'l2:45
pm. Columbus 4:20 pm, Richmond, Ind,
6:55 pm. and Indianapolis $40 pm. The
early arrival at st. LOUIS permits connec-
ton with all the fast early morning trains
out of there, including'the heavy malls dis
patched at 3,o'clock. and the service largely
expedites the delivery af the morning news
