which his conviction is expected.
Hon. William Lindsay returned
Tuesday from a business visit at Oma-
ha. On his return, while at Billings.
Mr.. Lindsay purchased 1000 head of
the best blocded ewes in Yellowstone
county, says the Glendive Review,
which he will trail to his Dawson
county range in the spring. Speaking
Of range conditions, Mr.. Lindsay said
n acre of range in this county would
produce more grass than ten in the
portions of Wyoming he passed
through or in the portions of Montana
he visited.
IT'S cases, one filled with known
Ikadly weeds and the other contain
ing specimens of those suspected Of
being poisonous to sheep and other
stock, have been received and are on
exhibition at the office of Henry
White. The collections were made by
the experiment station Of the state
agricultural college and great care

so that the weeds should retain their
natural colors and appearance, thus
making Identification of them on the
ranges an easy matter. All interest
ed in the matter are invited to inspect
the collections.
Charles Jacobs, m of the men held
in the county jail on the charge of
having broken into a Northern Pa
ciflc freight car, was arraigned beg
fore Judge Mann yesterday on a CONF
plant charging him with burglary in
the first degree. Jacobs is the mar
who was supposed to have smallpox
and was not taken into court with the
others. He expressed willingness to
the sheriff to waive the formally of
an arraignment for plea, but in order
to afford no ground for a technicality
when his case up in the dis
trict court it was decided to arraign
him so that the record of the lower
court might show full compliance with
all the requirements of the law. X
Deputy Game Warden Smith return
ed yesterday morning from a trip to
the Musselshell. He reports that the
bands of Crees against whom so much
complaint has been heard in this part
of the state have removed beyond
the limits of his district and are now
in camp in the breaks between the
Musselshell and the Missouri rivers.
Since their removal, residents along
the former stream informed Mr.. Smith,
no known violations of the game laws
have been committed. It is said that
for some reason the warden in the dis
trict to the north of that in charge of
Mr.. Smith has not seer fit to run the
renegades out of his Jurisdiction and
compel them to move beyond the con-
fines of the state.
Mr.. and Mrs. David Frat returned
yesterday morning from a trip to Den
YER where Mr.. Fratt was one Of the
states representative stockmen at
the National Live Stock convention.
Speaking of the stock meeting MI.
Frat said that the principal subject
discussed was the question Of land
leasing, a bill for which is now pend
ing in the national congress. He said
that he was not in favor of the bill
now before congress-, for the reason
that lis provisions were not liberal
enough fer the small stockman and
farmer who might wish to locate on
the leased lands in the future. Mon
tana had no voice in the framing of
the bill, and he was of the opinion
that much opposition would develop
shortly to the bill in it's present form.
