wax to a jar of tomatoes yesterday,
Mrs. Levi Noah, 1902 East Main street,
sustained painful injury. Mrs.

and when in the act of sealing lid
to jar, it seems the heated steam
OF the tomatoes forced the lid off,
sending the warm sealing wax onto
Mrs. Noah's face and burning her
painfully. DR.. J. B. Wilson was call
ed and administered proper medical
attention. 1t is thought the burn did
not go deep enough to disfigure her
face.

FRANKLIN WILL QUIT
Heaviest Owner of Cattle on. the
Northwestern Ranges Prepar-
ing to Retire.
Country Is Filling Up Too Fast With
Small Owners Who Fence
the Land.
to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Belle Fourche, S. D., July 2S.--Owing to
the crowded condition Of the range, Harris
Franklin & Co., the heaviest owners Of
cattle on the northwestern ranges, are
going to close out and retire from the
business. Harris Franklin of Deadwood,
general manager, says everything fit for
the market will be shipped this year for
beef and the she-stock will be sent down
into Nebraska, where the company is ac-
curing a large tract of land. intending to
conduct it's business in the future by pas
turing during the summer and feeding
during the severe winter storms. Next
year will see the last Of the company s
thousands Of cattle on these ranges moved
out.
The reason for this is that the country
Is filling with small cattle owners. sheep
men and farmers. These men are fenc-
ing their land, cutting off much of the
water, and it is asserted that much loss
Is suffered by range cattle owing to their
being chased and driven by the dogs and
hired men of the farmers and others, so
that between them and the wolves the
profit is greatly reduced.
Under the existing conditions a hard
winter would entail frfghtful loss to heavy
cattle men, and Mr.. Franklin says his
company has decided to get out as quickly
as possible. 1t began closing out last
season by shipping very closely, and the
shipping will be much closer this summer.
The companys herds will be greatly re-
duced and its future business will be on
| more limited scale, altho more satisfactory
| and secure.
| Harris Franklin has been In the range
cattle business since 1881. He first started
In small way at the mouth of Alkali
creek, on the Belle Fourche river, with
the IS brand. Shortly afterwards he
purchased the ks herd and then the
Hu.' Four years ago he purchased the
| cattle of the Continental Land and Live
STOCK company, consisting Of the Hash
knife and Mill Iron brands, about Is, OOC
mead all told. Up to that time there had
never been so large transaction in cat
tie on these ranges. Three years ago he
| made the purchase of the Turkey-trac ok
herds Of Day G Cresswell, the price paid
being little In excess Of $500, 900, or al
most twice what had been paid for the
Continental holdings. -
Shipments of beef cattle will be com
| menced by the company from Belle

Shrodes has been looking for purchaser
for One-haf interest In his recently in

was completed whereby John w. collars OF
Minneapolis becomes owner Of a half in
terest In the invention. The considera-
tion was $4,000. The matter of manufac-
turing and placing upon the market
this useful article will be pushed as rap
idly as possible.
The invention has already been de-
scribed in the newspapers and consists OF
an appliance for holding a lamp in front
of a horse. The doctor uses one which he
had made, and its superiority over the
present method of hanging the lamp upon
the carriage is at once apparent.
