McCrea in taking care of the foreign
consuls and in preventing a lombard

JOE is HERE.
Concluding Chapter Of Abduction
Story Begun in Butte.

Concluding Chapter Of Abduction
Story Begun in Butte.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Last nights Butte Inter Mountain
contains a story concerning the abduc-
ton of a child which will probably be
found to have it's concluding chapter
in this city, as it is said the little
one referred to in the article is now
here with his mother, who is the keep
err of one of the shady resorts south
Of the Northern Pacific tracks. Those
who pretend to know say the boy
was seen here last evening and again
this morning and that if abducted as
claimed by his grandmother it was
done by a woman in the service of
Mrs. Dalton, or Nell Shadwell," as
she is also known, if not by herself,
as she may be the strange woman
mentioned in the article.
The Inter Mountain says:
Little Joe Shadwell is missing, and
it is thought he has been kidnapped
by his mother or some other near rel
alive.
The boy has been living with his
grandmother, Mrs. Martha Griffin,
mother of G.. R. Shadwell, in a cabin
at the zeal of the Paumie d%ye-house
in West Galena street.
Mrs. j. M. Dalton of Billings is the
mother of the lad, but she has not
had charge of him since he was an in
FAINT.
Last Saturday Mrs. Griffin petition
ed the district court for an order per
hitting her to adopt the boy.
About dark last evening the boy
came out of the house and was COB
bled up by a strange woman, who made
off with him.
Mrs. Griffin soon discovered his alb
sence and reported the matter at pc
lice headquarters. She also notified
her attorney, B. S. T%hresher, and the
latter went to the depot to see if he
could get track of the lad.

MEAT JUMPS IN ENGLAND
BLAME FOR IT LAID ON THE
AMERICAN DEALERS.
Representative of Chicago Concern
Denies American Combinations
Are Responsible.

London, July 27.-The latest of the
numerous sins charged to America
by Londoners is responsibility for the
high prices of food. The increase in
the cost of meats and ether neces-
saries of subsistence reached figures
this week never paralleled in London.
The representatives Of the Chicago
meat packers deny that the abnormal
prices of meats are chargeable to the
American shippers. Both they and the
retailers are complaining that
there is no money in the business.
All concerned say they would be glad
enough to suspend business until more
normal conditions are restored.
The representative of one of the big
Chicago concerns, when questioned
by g, representative of the Associated
Press as to why prices of meat were
2 pence higher this week than they
were at this time a year ago, said:
ut is due to various causes, but not
in the least degree to combinations or
other schemes of Americans. Aus
trailia's freezing plants have been shut
down on account of the drouth, her
cattle have suffered, and Australian
shipments have fallen off three-quar.
tiers.
'The embargo placed by the gov
eminent on Argentina cattle on ac'
count of diseases has increased the
scarcity of meat. The primary cause
of the high prices of American meat
was the shortness of the 1901 corn
supply. which prevented sufficient
| feeding to furnish f%attening for cat
| tie. Then the American farmer was
selling corn at high prices instead Of
feeding it to cattle, thereby increas
ing the price Of corn-fed animals. AS
to the controlling of prices at Smith
field, no one controls them. We have
to sell in daily competition, not know
ing the qualities our competitors are
offering, and we 7 obliged to take
largely what the buyers give us.
eight hundred and fifty THOUSAND
head of American cattle were shipped
to England in 1901. while England her
self supplied 100000 head, so it i
impossible for America to be in a pc
sition to control prices"

ED MCFARLAND CHARGED WITH
FORGING CHECK.
LOSES MONEY At CARDS
LOSING His Own Cash Utters Paper
Bearing Name Of Late
Employer.
Wednesdays Daily Gazette.


Because he could not guess correct
ly the order in which the cards
would slip out of the little box and
was no more successful in picking out
the colors and numbers on which the
whizzing ball Of the roulette wheel
would stop, Ed Mcfarland is in Jail,
charged with having uttered a forged
check, with every prospect of going
to Deer Lodge for a term of years.
Mcfarland had a little money when
he came o town and sought to in
crease it by taking a flyer at some of
the gambling games which are said
to be conducted on the quiet about
the city. In this he was not very NC
cessful, in fact he speedily lost all
he had, but this did not prevent him
from further trying to force his luck"
The gambling spirit possessed him
and he seemed helpless to resist the
temptation to play.
Having no more money of his own,
he forged a check for $3.50 on the
First National bank, making it pay
able to himself, and signed the name
of A. l.. Thomas, the Lake Basin
-sheepman, for whom he at one time
had worked. Last night he present.
ed the check to J.. R. Conway, who
cashed it. Apparently s%uspecting
something was wrong, Conway in
-structed his bartender, Steve Ogburn
to present the check at the bank this
morning as soon as the bank was
open. Ogburn did SO and was inform
ed by Assistant Cashier Mains that
the check was a forgery and payment
was refused.
Mr.. Mains Immediately notified
Chief Jackson and after a short
search that officer found Mcfarland
and arrested him. Mcfarland asked
to see Mr.. Ahomas and that gentle
man was taken to him.
Mr.. Thomas declined to settle thu
matter, much to the disappointment
of Mcfarland, who apparently hat
been laboring under the impression
that his late employer would be len
lent with him. After telling him tina
he, Mcfarland, seemed to be "in TO
it" and that he could draw his owl
checks Mr.. Thomas left the prisoner
who was then taken to the count.

Presence of Spear Grass in Large
Quantities Causes Them to
Be Refused.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Spear grass entered into the ques-
ton of sale of several clips of wool
on the market yesterday and today.
It is %contended by the buyers that
manufacturers are not inclined to buy
wool containing this grass, alleging
that machinery for taking it cut Of
the feeces has not yet been invent
ed. It is claimed by them that the
appliances for freeing wool of burs
and dirt work successfully in every
respect, but when it comes to wool
containing spear grass, which weaves
itself into the fleece, nothing can be
done to place it in good marketable
condition, be the quality never so
good.
The market during the past "a
hours had a downward tendency. The
best price paid was 14k. Sales dur
ing the morning at the Northern Pa
