SLIPPERY BILL AGAIN.
Montgomery Ward Desperate Eluded
the lewistown Sheriffs.

On Wednesday last, while he was
badly wanted on pressing business in
Lewistown, Slippery Bill was loafing
around the stone quarry and trying
to persuade the boys employed there
to assist him in getting his gun which
was cached in the Dark Horse barn.
He informed some Of the workmen
there that he had been in the vicinity
of the city ever since the shooting
and experienced but little difficulty
In eluding his pursuers.
When Frank Mccarthy arrived in
the city on Wednesday evening the
gun, a 5000 Winchester. was found
under the mattress of the bed in the
Office and was taken charge Of by the
officers. In a search through the
trunk which belonged to the gang, a
red light. two old-fashioned six-shoot-
ers and a supply of cartridges were
found and altogether the outfit look
ed like an accumulation made by a
small boy after reading copy of
"Deadwood Dick" or the "Squint-Eyed
Desperate from Dublin Gulch."
Slippery Bill decided that the vicin-
ity OF Lewistown was not lively
enough for him and last Wednesday
evening he crossed to the east side
of town and hit the pike for the neigh
borhood of Gilt Edge.
He was next heard Of at Cliffs coal
mine a short distance from the latter
town. where he had supper, and after
which he departed for some secluded
spot in the bad lands, where he could
rustic saddle horse without having
to answer embarrassing questions or
be under the necessity Of retreating
into the brush in order to avoid put.
ting the sheriff's force to the painful
necessity of having to make an at
tempt to arrest him.
When last seen he was carrying
formidable looking six-shooter and had
a comfortable supply Of food done up
in a paper parcel. Ed. Martin and
Clyde Osgood are prospecting around
little and there is a possibility that
they may persuade him to return to
civilization before the setting In OF the
cold weather.

SHOT UP THE TOWN.
The Atmosphere Perforated in Sever.
al Places on Sunday Night.

Some individual whose mind is evi.
IDENTITY in a state of chaotic confusion
as the result of reading dime novels
and the life of western desperadoes,
tried to make a cheap reputation for
himself on Sunday night by caching
himself in the dark corners of the
city and smoking up the town with
a six shooter.
The fusilade commenced with two
shots in the alley back oil Barney Nc
Donnell's saloon and the nightwatch
tried to locate the galoot without sue
cess. Shortly afterwards two more
shots were heard in the rear of the
Dark Horse barn and later the resi-
dents of upper Main street were scar
ed out of their beauty sleep by a
couple more shots. 1he would-be bad
man man who did the shooting no
doubt thinks he was extremely funny,
but il is safe to bet that If he is ever
discovered by the officers that he will
have a chance to cool his heels in the
calaboose and think over the error OF
his ways.

FIREMEN AT BILLINGS.
Time Largely Devoted to Discussion
OF Interesting Problems.

At the annual convention of firemen
Of the state. held at Billings last week,
there was present on the part OF the
Lewistown organization, Chief Bebb
and w. II. Hopkins, the other dele
gates named being unable to attend.
Every department in the state was
represented by from one to six dele
gates and the meeting proved an en-
thusiastic success. Firemen are uni
yersally well disciplined men and at
this convention they gave nearly all
their time to discussion of questions
effecting their work. although several
evenings were devoted to pleasure af-
forded by Billings citizens and Thurs
day afternoon there was an imposing
parade.
To each department two or moer
subjects had been assigned and after
the reading of papers the subject was
generally discussed by all present.
To the Lewistown department had
been given the topics What consti-
tutes well organized volunteer fire
company" and Fire Companies VS..
Insurance Companies" Chief BeDb
read well prepared papers on both
subjects. The matter of care of fire
hose, use of chemicals. equipment,
discipline of members, auxiliary or
ganizations and many other matters
elected merited attention and the in
terest displayed and general exchange
OF views will unquestionably prove OF
benefit to the members of each de-
partment.
The next meeting will be held at
Great Falls in the fall OF 1903. OF
the parade dispatch says:
1t was altogether an imposing par
ade. headed by Judge Bender. re-
splendent in an elaborate drum maj.
or's helmet and gracefully twirling
his silver-headed baton. Following
came the Livingston band and then,
in order, Livingston delegates, other
delegates from different towns, Chief
Bond and Private Burton carrying the
first piece Of apparatus given to the
Billings fire department, Billings band,
Maverick company commanded by F.

SHEEP BUYERS SCARCE.
Can Get All the Sheep They Want in
Wyoming at Low Prices.

There has been a noticeable scarcity
of sheep buyers in Fergus county this
fall and as a reason it is stated that
the selling out of large flock masters
in Wyoming has glutted the market.
The ranges in that state are barren
as a board and great difficulty is ex-
perienced in handling even the small
bands of stock.
In regard to the matter the Chica.
go Live Stock World says:
Great difficulty is being experienc-
ed in making shipments, the railroads
being unable to supply cars fast
enough to take care of their orders.
At all points along the line there are
hundreds of cars behind, which means
a delay of several weeks to sheep men
who have, in many cases, trailed their
sheep long distances to the shipping
point, only to be Obliged to turn
back again to feed on the dry, sandy
prairie, and wait their turn for cars.
The heavy shrinkage from this delay
and the long trip to market means a
considerable loss, but there seems to
De no remedy LOT IL,
For a radius of about 100 miles
around Sheridan, Wyo., and south
west into northwestern Colorado, the
range is said to be as bare as board,
and il is absolutely necessary to move
the stock elsewhere. A few owners
have hay, but they are in the great
minority.
Railroads are being taxed to their
utmost to get the cattle out, and it
will take some weeks to move t.-em.
Many are going to market, but lately
some of the cattle and sheep are be-
ing moved to points where they. can
be fed rather than sacrifice them on
the present market.
"The Colorado & Southern is pre-
pairing TO receive at Orin Junction
several train loads OF sheep, which
will be sent from central Wyoming
to feed farms in Colorado. Sheep
which are not fit to go to market are
sold to Colorado feeders to be fatten.
ed for the market next year.
FULLY 10000 sheep will be shipped
from Casper alone. the majority OF
them going to Fort Collins. Advertise,
ments for this number are now being
run, and the sheep are being gather.
ed at Casper. Converse county will
also contribute its quota, though
sheep there are in better condition.

DISPLAY OF
ENTHUSIASM
The Initial Gun In the Republican
Campaign Was Fired Under En-
couraging Conditions.
CROWD BOTH NIGHTS.
The Speakers Were AppIauded En-
Enthusiastically and the Candidates
Assured of Support.

The Republican meetings at Rock
ford and Garneill on Monday and
Tuesday nights were a pronounced
success. The enthusiasm of the large
crowds on both nights proved that the
voters in that section realize that
they are voting for their best interests
and the welfare of the county and
state by supporting the Republican
candidates.
At Rockford the gathering was ad-
dressed by o. w. Belden, j. ID. Waite,
II. II. Boggs and ]. w. Hobbs, while
last night F. Z. Smith. =. c. Bebb, o.
w. Belden, J. d. Waite, r. A. Mckee
and others addressed large and en-
thusiastic crowd at Garneill.
The Republican campaign has open
ed with every show ol complete sue

point to an overwhelming victory for
the party which has ever insured pros
perity by wise and judicious manage
ment of both county and state af-
