Men Arrested at Cody for Alleged
Cattle Stealing.

"e" NTTeSteo at Cody Tor ALLEGED
Cattle Stealing.
Big Horn Rustler: John Dyer,
James Doyle and Lee Garrett were ar
rested at Cody, last Saturday, on a
charge of stealing cattle from E. M.
Bent. William Stewart and a Mr..
Book are under bonds to appear as
witnesses in the case. 1t appears that
Garrett sold Dyer some beef cattle and
Dolye helped Dyer in delivering the
cattle to Cody and butchering them.
Garrett made his escape and Dyer and
Doyle were brought to Basin, sWednes.
day, by Deputy Sheriff James. They
roth gave bonds for appearance at the
district court, were accordingly given
their liberty. Both Dyer and Doyle
are held in high esteem at Cody and

CITY ELECTION PASSES OFF
WITHOUT INCIDENT.
THIRD SENDS HoGuE BACK
No Opposition in Other Wards Makes
Easy Running for Candidates
Light Vote.

The inherent right of every Ameri-
can citizen to express his preference
at the polls received exem%plifcation
at the election held in the city yester-
day. The fact that in a majority of
the wards only one candidate had been
regularly nominated and therefore was
the only one rightfully entitled to
support did not deter. some of those
who considered that an attempt at
an Infringement of their rights had
been made to register their unqualified
objection, even though it was labor
lost and the silent protest they en-
tered did not have the weight of the
small piece Of paper required to re-
cord it.
In the First ward two of these pro-
testing patriots voted. They we're not
in accord with the arrangements as
to the candidates existing there and
voted accordingly. For that reason
two of the votes deposited did not
go to George Bennington, but he re-
ceived the other ~, thus giving him a
comfortable and safe majority. The
o~bstreperous two evidently could not
agree on any one candidate, as Matt
Driscoll received the vote of one and
Mr.. Connolly, the retiring alderman
from that ward, the other.
S. G. Reynolds also had opposition,
Int less rron0r~111 -, %b@ C1oo~l
ward. He received SO of the 81 votes
recorded there, Henry Kerr getting
the other.
Down in the Fourth there was one
voter who did not consider Alderman
Berky a safe mar to succeed himself.
The same lack of confidence in all
the other men in the ward legally quail
flied to fill the position seemed to
possess the solitary individual not in
accord with the wishes of the major
ity, for he voted her blank" Still
Mr.. Berky is safely elected, al he was
given the other % votes.
The only contest of the day was in
the Third ward, where two regularly
nominated candidates were running,
Alderman Hogue and F. L. Summers.
Apparently neither gentleman ex-
erted any great effort to secure the
prize at stake, judging from the light
vote cast, 81 in all. OF this number
MI. Hogue received 43 and Mr.. Sum-
mers IS. There were no blanks or
scattering votes recorded in this ward.
Summary.
First ward-Bennighof, 81; Con.
nelly, 1; Driscoll, /. Total 20.

ST. PAUL MAN MISSING.

Leaves His Hotel for a Moment and
Disappears-6aggage Left Behind.
The police of Irion Mountain, Mich !,
are searching for William e. Geary,
who mysteriously disappeared from
The Central house a week ago.
Geary arrived from st. Paul and
went Immediately to the hotel in the
afternoon, asked how soon supper
would be ready and then left the hotel,
saying he would be back. Nothing
has been heard from him since.
He had a large sun of money, it is
said. and foul play is feared. His bag
gage, consisting OF two large grips,
an overcoat and a mechanical engi-
neer's certificate in a frame, is still
at the hotel.

belt. The northwestern range country
is one of unestimated richness, and
with the resources fully developed
the cattleman of that section will be-
come an important factor in the beef
market every month in the year.
Another Isl why this evolution
or progression is so rapid is that the
range cattle lei are improving their
herds by the purchase Of pure-bred
bulls or buying stock cattle Of a bet
ter grade than formerly. Last fall
at the Minnesota state fair nearly 800
head of pure-bred Shorthorn, Angus
and Hereford cattle were sold at auc-
ton, and the bulk of them went to the
ranches of Minnesota, Montana and
the Dakotas for the improvement Of
the herds; the sales Of the p%ure-breds
nave continued up to the present time,
every sale, no matter where held, hav-
ing a good representation of range
men.
OF the hay-fed western rangers re-
ceived in Chicago yesterday n lot
OF 40 head from Marysville, Mont,
averaged 1,244 pound and sold for Sc,
and nine loads from Drummonds,
Mont, sold at $4.9O@5.5O, including
feeders at 1925. These cattle travel
ed 1,6O0 miles and yer on the road
eight days, yet they arrived here in
such good shape that they were in
competition with stuff fattened in the
corn belt.
Idaho shippers will soon be on this
market with alfalfa-fed cattle, and
others will come from western Mon
tana,. This is manifestly more proita-
BILE than feeding high-priced corn, and
the rangeman is showing his acumen
by shaping his business so as to meet
the market at all times. He is strict
ly in it." so to speak, and the predic-
ton made a year ago that, he would
be n of the powers in the fancy cat
tie markets is very near a fulfllment.

TRANsPoslTloN A GREAT FALLS
MAN WOULD LIKE TO MAKE.
WOMAN IN CASE ANXIOUS
Before the Wedding They Both De-
sire Can Take Place a Pardon
Will Be Necessary.

Great Falls Tribune: From the coun.
~ Jail to the altar is the path Gordon
Brooks, an Englishman, "a years OF
age, would like to travel if a way can
1e found to have the governor pardon
him. Laura Yeager is the woman who
got him into all his trouble and who
now would like to walk with him over
the path of roses. She was a suppl.
cant yesterday at the Office of County
Attorney Gormley, seeking to have
Brooks released from the Jail, promis.
ing that if he was they would be mar.
ried at once and leave Montana for
Canada, never to return.
County Attorney Gormley consulted
with Justice Stafford, the committing
magistrate, but neither could see his
way clear to bring about the marriage
unless the governor pardoned Brooks.
This being the case, the woman left
the Office, and it is very probable that
within a few days an application will
be made for executive clemency.
On February IL, Brooks was arrest
ed while at work at King & Coombs'
brick yard, r. the river, charged
with the crime Of adultery, alleged to
have been. committed with Mrs
Laura Yeager. When he was arraign-
ed before Justice Stafford he entered a
plea of guilty and gave Is an extenuat-
ing circumstance that, in the part of
England where he had come from, it
was no crime for a man and woman
to live together out of the holy state.
The court, however, knew a thing
or two about the "old country" and
administered a scathing lecture to
Brooks. The following day he was
brought up for sentence and was given
six months in the county Jail.
At that time Mrs. Yeager was willing
to get rid of Brooks, but has now
changed her mind. She has applied
to the county attorney for his release.
Just a month before the arrest of
Brooks Mrs. Yeager was granted a
divorce in the district court from
Charles L. Yeager, who, she alleged,
had abandoned her at St%ratcona,
Canada. She had four children, and
with these, after the abandonment,
she moved to Lethbridge. There she
fell in with Brooks, who is a red-head-
cd Englishman. and thew departed for
Utica together, leaving the children
at Lethbridge. At Utica they lived
for some time. and then came to Great
Falls, where they lived as man and
wife ~
After the man had been taken from
her by the law, Mrs. Yeager began to
long for him and now has applied for
bis release, and Brooks has promised
TO marry her if the governor will only
help him.

selling, but later in the day the market
improved somewhat, closing lower than
yesterday. From the character of news
there Is no change in the cotton situa-
ton. But Liverpool declined instead OF
advancing. and this made all the differ
ence. The movement Is light and until
the May business Is over and we have
some news on the new crop to depress the
market, there is not likely to be turn
in the tendency Of prices. On break
Monday, IL 1t comes, we would buy for
a turn. But as to advising the purchase
of cotton at cents for a bull market we
are no more inclined to do it now than
six weeks ago. We look to the new crop
as a safer though not as exciting a specu-
lative venture as the old. Everything is
bullish in the extreme-as bullish now
as 1t was bearish in May year ago
when you couldn't get man to buy
bale of cotton at and TIC. Nine cents Is
a good price for cotton. The price can
easily be u or Nc higher under such good
trade conditions, but 1t is not business to
speculate heavy in favor or such an adj
vance as the high level There will be
more money in shorting the new crop be-
fore long than In buying the old, except
on sharp breaks.

Murphy a Co.. cotton Letter.

New York, April 1s-There was nothing
of special Importance in the various trade
reports issued today to attract special at
tention, and the Chronicles weekly sum-
mary, as usual, impaired next to nothing
that was not known early in the week.
More or less interest attached to the Liv-
erpool report, which disclosed decline OF
a point or so, but even this had little
bearing on the market. Manipulation Is
charged by disappointed bears, but 1t Is
equally true that cotton Is scarce and
that from all quarters come reports OF
good trade. In fact, everything coming
months and months past of a most salts
factory condition of affairs at the mills.
and good reports continue to come In
from dry goods quarters, where affairs
are in excellent shape. Besides this. pre-
5ictions of more mill strikes and shut
downs have not taken place, and on the
whole whatever developments have oc-
CURED everywhere have favored the bull
aide. Weather in the South today was
everything that could be desired. The
only point reporting rain was Montgom-
ery to the extent of .02 of an inch. while
the temperature ranged from 81 at Abb
lene to So at Augusta. The early market
was somewhat demoralized, prices going
of 2 to II points and May crufhbling to
pieces quite rapidly. A decrease In the
visible supply for the week OF $4,000 was
regarded as of sufficient Importance to
preyent bear aggressiveness at this time.
There was a steadier tone to the market
and prices recovered after the early
break, but business was on limited
scale. A bull leader heretofore was re-
ported as having turned bear, but this
was not believed.
