I told him that l was a prisoner under

a statement Of similar purport as that

During it's writing the notary held
out every inducement to cause not only
myself, but the others, to swear falsely,

A conservative estimate of the
number of horses shipped from
Montana last year places the
numb Der at 100000. The Brit.
ish call for mounts for South
Africa has resulted in thousands
of head leaving the state. The
result is that there are now
fewer horses in that state
than ever before. Indeed,
there are no large bands, and
unless there is movement of
horses to Montana from the
South there is certain to be a
horse famine in the state next
