ALL SAME PAT CROWL.
Dfabollcal DagO Plans to Abduct Butte
Children Of Note,

|
What is believed to be the most dia.
bolical kidnapping scheme ever con.
ceived in Montana or of the most dar-
ing in the history of the west. was
brought to light in Butte last Wednes-
day by Detective Murphy, through in
formation furnished him by Harry
Keller. pedler. One arrest in con-
nection with the alleged scheme has
been made and others are expected to
follow. There was being organized in
Butte band of kidnapers who ir-
tended kidnapping children of wealthy
citizens or themselves, for the purpose
OF ransom. 1t was claimed that the
would-be kidnapers were to be no res
pecters of persons and We're to operate
against any one whose kidnapping
would mean the paying of large sums
OF money to the operators. The man
under arrest is Samuel Cosentino, an
Italian of repulsive and desperate ap-
pearance, who until recently was en-
ployed by Keller.
The arrest was made on Wednesday
night by Detective Murphy, after an
investigation which led him to believe
that Cosentino was too dangerous a
person to be allowed at large. Cosen-
tino is now at the county Jail, where
he was removed Thursday. Accord
ing to the information at hand Cosen-
tlno and two others planned to kidnap
the 1-year-old child of Mrs. Harry
Symons, Hazel Gindrop, the 12-year-
old sister of Mrs. Harry Symons, and
one of the children of Mrs. p. A. Lar
gey. If either of the plans failed, the
gang was to kidnap Chas. w. Clark
and W. A. Clark, jr., or any other
wealthy man or woman on whom they
might decide. Keller claims he was
asked to join the gang and that he was
told of the plans in a general way. He
pretended to be undecided about the
matter and informed Detective Murphy
about what he was told. Murphy then
went to work on the case and on the
description furnished by Keller of Cos
entino made the arrest.

Within a few days shipments of
southern cattle to Montana points will
cease. These shipments began about
four weeks ago and have continued
with rather unusual frequency. Last
month the Burlington received over
500 carloads of southern cattle at Bill
ings, and this does not include all the
stock brought into Montana for a large
number of carloads were unloaded at
points on the Burlington at the edge Of
the state line and then driven to the
ranges. Freight shipments over the
Burlington this spring have been lar
ger than at amy time since the road
was finished, some six or eight years
ago.
The supreme court of Montana Mon
day adopted the custom that hes been
followed since time immemorial by the
highest courts of many countries as
well as the older states of the union of
wearing black gowns on the bench.
The innovation, if such it can be called.
came as an agreeable surprise to the
members of the bar present and inn
pressed the spectators with the dignity
OF the court. The court made it's first
appearance in the new chamber attired
in the flowing robes. Many members
of the bar and large number of spec
tItors were present.
Judging from the rapidly with which
bounty claims have been going in from
the various counties to Ney N. David

prove a record breaker in this regard.

SHIPPING WON'T BEGIN EARLY.
OF Montana Cattle to East.
ern Market Not to Commence
Before August.

nc1OFe august
Colonel Malone, of Miles CITY. live
stock agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul for Montana and western
territory, said yesterday while in St.
Paul on short business trip, that
shipments east from the ranges this
year will not exceed those of a year
ago, says the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
Two years hence, he says, shipments
will show record figures.
Last years shipments were heavy,
but there has been a general feeling
that they would be larger this year.
The shipping season usually begins
the third week of July, but it will be
deferred until early in August, be-
cause OF the condition of the ranges.
Green grass is abundant and forage
could not be better, but the cattle are
not fattenet. OH green grass. The fin
ishing touches to put them in prime
condition include a diet of sun dried
grass, which, because of abundant
moisture, will not be available as
early as usual.
General conditions through Mon
tana could hardly be better" Colonel
Malone said.
''This years shipments of both cat.
tie and sheep will be heavy, but can
not see any indication of an increase
over last years shipments. The VOL
ume of shipments to the ranges from
Texas would indicate, however, that
during the next few years record ship
ments will be made.
1.-The Swift interests at South St.
Paul will receive many Montana cattle
and it is not improbable that during
certain seasons the prices here will be
equal to those in Chicago.
"Canadian ranges are becoming
prominent, and the experiment of win
tering cattle in Alberta and at points
along the Canadian Pacific is sue
cessful. Within few years that ter
ritory promises to become an import
ant source of supply.''

Judge Loud Reversed.

Montana municipalities that contem-
plate ii,curring further Indebtedness
will be more or less interested in a de-
clsion OF the supreme court in which
very important points relating to cities
running in debt are passed upon. The
court very clearly says that the limit
placed upon municipal indebtedness by
the constitution must be religiously OBJ
served in order to make such a debt
legally contracted.
The case in which the court an
nounced this decision was that of w.

an action to prevent the city from dis
posing OF $4,000 in city bonds. AT a
special meeting of the city council it
was decided to submit to the people
upon April !, the question of bonding
the city for $S,O for the purpose of
raising money for building a city hall.
The people voted upon the so called
city hall bonds and the proposition
carried. The city council was about

Hay Burning.

Montana ranchmen who cultivate al
falfa and cure it for feed for sheep ant
cattle may not be troubled with the
hay burning if properly cured, but q
Kansas farmer seems to have exper.
fenced considerable difficulty in that
respect last summer.
There were many instances during
the summer of 1901 of alfalfa hay be.
coming so hot that it took re by spon.
taneous combustion and was DESTROYED
and the Kansas Station has devoted
some investigation to the matter, says
the Chicago Live Stock World. All
cases of spontaneous combustion of al
falfa hay that have come to notice have
occurred with the first cutting. Early
spring growth of alfalfa in an ordin-
ary season is rank. The alfalfa is cut
either in May or early in June, and at
this time of the year the weather is
such that it is difficult to thoroughly
cure the alfalfa without getting it wet.
Usually there is considerable damp
weather and little wind after the first
cutting is put in the NOW or stack, and
this hinders further drying. With
later cuttings the growth is not SO
rank and succulent, and the weather
is dryer and there is often a wind.
This makes curing easy.

WOOL PRICES HIGHER.
Market for Western Clips Steadily
lmprOVing-MOre Houses Buying.

Market for Western Clips Steadil,
lmprOving-MOre Houses Buying,
The wools sales for the last week ir
Boston amounted to nearly 1000, ,OO(
pounds more than the previous week
and 800, 900 pounds more than the same
week a year ago. The wool marke,
according to the American Wool and
Cotton Reporter, is in good condition
and there was much more inquiry for
wool last week than the week before.
Much higher prices are being paid
all over the country this year than
last. In Wyoming along the line of
the Burlington railroad wool went like
hot cakes at 12A and 13 cents pound,
which is several cents higher than the
price received year ago, when the
same parties shipped or consigned
their clips and then had to be satisfied
with about cents net. According to
this, when the sales open in Montana,
the price received should be at least 10
cents, for Wyoming wool is not rated
SS 6OOA as lhS tlONuNt vi tllIS STATE
and is considerably heavier. This,
when the average weight of the Heeces
is compared, would bring the price up
to at least that price,
Shearing is now general all over the
state and will continue until the last
of this month or the first of next. The
American Sheep & Land company in
which Cans & Klein of Helena, are
half owners, are shearing near Town
send at the rate of about 1000 sheep
day. About $4,000 pounds of wool
have already been sheared and are
stored in the warehouse at Townsend.
1t is estimated that this clip will ex-
ceed $50, 600 pounds. 1t is probable
that it will be shipped to Billings,
where it will be put upon the market.
Concerning the wool trade in Boston
the American Wool and Cotton Repor-
ter says:
''There is more going on than ap-
pears on the surface, which may not
be brought to light until later. Prices
are as yet not quotably higher, except
possibly on medium f1eeces, but the
tone of the market is firm, and the ten
dency is believed to be toward sitter
quotations. There is very active de-
mand for wools at all points in the in
terror at as high prices as have been
paid at any time. Two of the largest
Boston houses, which have been hold
ing back from buying, are now re-
ported as paying as high as lac. in
Oregon for wools which sold last year
at 1O@12c. In Idaho three clips sold
this week at 14Hc, equivalent to Asa
48c, clean landed. In Texas the woods
have been practically cleaned up, as
high as 1880 having been paid for the
Kerville wools.
''The receipts of wool in Boston this
week amounted to 20, COS bales, against
25,O59 bales last week, and 6,S78
bales a year ago.
s'The total receipts since January l
have been 257, 147 bales domestic and
1889 bales foreign against 191, 1854
bales domestic and 72,O34 bales foreign
for the corresponding period of 1901.
This is an increase of 65, 293 bales do

Situation In HOPS.

While the demand for hops does not
show much force there is fair business
doing for the season of year and the
reduction of stock goes on in pretty
satisfactory manner. We have heard OF
few sales this week between dealers,
and brewers have shown enough interest
to warrant the belief that they are not
carrying large supplies, and are inclined
to provide somewhat against future
needs. This has given added strength
to the position and there is an exceed
ingly firm feeling throughout. State
hops are getting very scarce, and there
are practically no more to be had in the
interior. A very nice growth sold here
on Wednesday at ls2sc, and at the pres
emit l9c is an inside rate for choice, with

Big CROP. or He'll Eat II.

Everybody for himself and devil
take the hindmost" seems to be the
sentiment of the average person in deal
ing with his fellowman. The other day,
it is told, a certain real estate man took
an immigrant out few miles to look
over piece of land with the view OF
making purchase. The land in ques.
ton is very stony, and when the pros.
pective buyer called the agents atten.
ton to this fact the latter said:
"Oh, my dear sir. that is just what
you want. Do you know that stony
land like that is the only kind that will
produce good crops in this country. You
buy that, and if you don't raise 10 tons
of alfalfa to the acre I'll eat it,"
The man bought the land, and the
new owner is now, perhaps, of the
opinion that the agent will not have an
opportunity to eat the alfalfa.

RAILWAY SCHEMES.
The Proposed Road from Lyle to Goldendale-
Other Embryo Lines

There is much speculation among GER
tain parties in this county as to whether
the motor railway will be built from
Lyle to Goldendale this year, or at an
early date. Lyle is situate on the ranks
of the Columbia at the mouth of the
Klickitat river 1t is the purpose of the
promoters of the scheme to build the
road to Goldendale to tap the great
wheat-raising country to the north and
east of that place. From Lyle the pro-
ducts will be shipped by steamer to
Portland. Portland parties are at the
back of the scheme. and in conversation
with a North Yakima party few days
ago concerning the road the head man
said the line would be built this summer.
He also said that it was the intention to
continue the line into the Horse Heaven
country, and possibly on to the Yakima
valley. 1t is Portland people who are
interested in building the road from
Vancouver to North Yakima, and it may
be the financial men of that city will
lend aid in completing the line.
There are many schemes in embryo
looking toward new outlets for this
valley, and if one-half of them mate
rialize no one around here would object

WHY 1T SHOULD PASS.
Opinion of William H. Chadwick on the Pend
ing Irrigation Bill.

William II. Chadwick, chairman of
the transportation committee of the
board of trade of Chicago, has written a
letter to Representative Newlands of
Nevada, the author OF the pending irri-
CATION bill, presenting new reasons why
this measure should be passed. He saws !:
"The districts which compose the arid
lands by reason of the intense dry heat
there produced and which through the
eastward movement of all atmospheric
conditions across the continent are and
always have been menace to all that
great agricultural country to the east
and northwest of the section in question,
notably Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Illinois, Iowa. South Dakota, In
diana and Ohio.
"The tremendous losses experienced
within the past u months by farmers,
the live stock interests, the merchant
and common carriers, are fresh in our
minds-a veritable calamity.
"The great loss entailed through the
partial failure of the corn crop and en-.
forced substitution, on large scale, OF
other grain to supply the deficiency
thereby caused, with wheat, rye, oats,
etc, resulted in the curtailment of ex.
ports to such an extent as to be not only
extraordinary, but in some instances, as
with corn, sensational.
"The effect in the eastern or consum.
ing states are notable, and scarcely any
part of the Union has been unaffected
by the conditions produced by the scorch'
ing blight, which, originating only in
the arid region, blasted the crops over a
large and important part of the country
ave, who are directly affected by such
misfortunes, desire to earnestly second
the endeavor to remove the constant
menace to prosperity in such a wide
scope of territory and ask for legislation
to that end.'

The New Rural Routes.

Service on the new rural mail routes
from the Owosso post Office will begin a
week from Tuesday, July l. The car
riers, as already announced are l.. P.
Royce and Glenn E. Blair In addition
to the new routes the course of route
No. 2 has been completely changed so
that the three routes in connection with
the routes from Corunna, Henderson,
Chesaning and New Lothrop, cover the
entire townships of New Haven and the
northern half of Caledonia. The car
riers will begin the work of preparing
their directories in few days, and in
this connection few words to the
patrons of the routes would not be amiss.
There are two or three things which
the patrons of the routes can do to great
ly assist the carriers in the performance
of their work. In the first place the
ame-frst name in full, middle initial
if any, and last name carefully spelled
out, of every person, young and old,
who will get mail from the family box,
should be given to the carrier. In adj
dition to this it often assists greatly to
know the relation of the different per-
sons to each other, frequel ty enabling
the prompt delivery of mail which
could not otherwise be delivered. For
their own protection patrons of the
routes cannot BET too careful about max
ing sure that they give their names cor
rectly to the carriers.
Another point which is of great i'm
portance to the carriers and assists great
ly in giving better service to the patrons
of the route is in the placing of the mail
boxes. The boxes should be placed as
near the Travelled track of the road way
as can be done with safety on account OF
passing loads Placing them on fences
or gate posts will not do. If they can
not be placed close to the track of the
roadway they must at least be placed in
such position that the carrier will not
have to drive far from the track, through
any bitches, or get out of his wagon.
| If the service is worth anything to the
patron he should be w illing to meet the
post Office department at least half way
and it demands that he do so. The
time which the carrier should he spend
ing in driving on to the other patrons
on his route must not be taken up by
the others in compelling him to climt
in and out Of his wagon. The depart
ment insists on this requirement.
| The boxes must be one OF the makes
which have been approved by the post
Office department. Wooden boxes viii
not do. Even tin or iron boxes of any
except one of the approved makes vii
| not entitle the owner to the benefits oi
the free delivery. The farmer is asked
topay an amount, for box good enough

man pays every year for box rent. HI
should not object therefore if he i.
