Stephens Business Methods Get Him
Into Trouble.

Yesterday morning Under Sheriff
Sayles returned from Forsyth having
B. A. Stephens in charge as prisoner.
The arrest was made at point about
- miles north OF Forsyth and was on
a warrant charging Stephens with
disposing of mortgaged property.
Until recently the man was living
near Laurel and short time ago
bought a wagon ard a set of harness
from the Donovan Met Cormick COM
pany. He was unable to pay and gave
a mortgage on the wagon, while he
signed a note for the harness. Sub
sequently he sold the wagon and har-
ness and then left, supposedly with
the intention of leaving the state. The
firm to which he was indebted learned
the fact and warrant was issued
on its complaint. AS the direction in

tern Counties.
= Iehn w. Collins, at one time stock
Inspector for Yellowstone vounty, has
been appointed to the same position
fo" Silver Bow at salary of $50 a
month. This would be decidedly small
pay for so important a place, were
it all that Mr. Collins is to receive,
but it is not. By an arrangement
entered into between Silver Bow,
Deer Lodge and Powell counties he
has received an appointment in each
and they will pay him jointly the
same amount as the first named coun-
ty. It has been the custom of the
counties named to unite upon one
man for inspector for all three and
to lump the money they receive as
their portion of the state appropria-
ton for stock inspection, which for
this year amounts to $1,000 for the
three.
Considerable 'rustling'' has been go
ing on in those counties, particularly
Silver Bow, and the inspector will
find plenty to do to keep straight the
men with a weakness for stock not
their own. Mr.. Collins was inspector
for the counties last year and received
much better pay than this year, as
he got $75 from Silver Bow and $50
from each of the other two counties.

Shipment OF 5000 Texas steers into

animals belong to the Continental
Cattle company, whose brand, TOT"
was one of the best known in south
eastern Montana during the days of
the big concerns in the seventies,
When it had cattle by the thousands
on the open range near the border of
Dakota. Changed conditions, however,
forced the company practically out of
the field, as the land was taken up
by settlers and the rest passed into
the hands of men with the forethought
to secure possession of pasturage be-
fore it had all vanished. One of the
latter individuals is John M. Holt of
Miles City.
Mr.. Holt is the owner of about 1OO,-
900 acres of decided land Some of it
was bought from the railroad company
and some secured by placing scrip up
on it. This imense pasture is situated
adjoining the Continental company's
OLD range and the steers now being
shipped will be grazed upon it, ar

According to the year book of the
department of agriculture Montanas
fiocks outnumber those of any other
state in the union, with Wyoming
second and Idaho third. Utah, which
is making some pretensions as a
sheep-growing state, can do no better
than reach fifth place, being next to
New Mexico.

combined product of the staple

On the same date Wyoming had
1926, $50 sheep, which produced 34,-

Idaho's sheep numbered 4,541,815.
The wool they produced weighed 49,

GOES BACK FOR TRIAL.
Alleged Washington Crook Taken
Back by Sheriff.

By this time j. R. Clayton, arrested
here last Monday by Policeman
Mowre, on dispatch from the sher-
if of North Yakima, Wash, is prob
ably back at the scene OF his alleged
crime to answer to the charges
against him. Clayton waived all for
malities and accompanied the officer
who came for him without reauisi-
ton. Had he known the full nature
Of the complaint made against him he
might possibly not have been so free
about returning and would have in
sisted on his every right before leav-.
ing Montana.
Sheriff Grant is the officer who came
for Clayton, and to The Gazette he
said that since Claytons departure
from his former home a number of
felonious transactions of the prisoner
had come to light and the chances
were extremely bright that the man
would get a long term in the peniten-
tiary. The most serious charge ap-
pears to be that Of obtaining money
under felse pretense. Clayton devel-
oped "a sudden weakness for writing
checks, without possessing the neces-
sary deposit in bank to make them
good. In some manenr he obtained
a blank check book and wrote checks
in a lavish and reckless way On all
he obtained the money they purported
to call for and the aggregate of his
stealing in that form is quite large,
almost a thousand dollars
! In addition to this he also stole a
| considerable sum from his partner,
man with whom he was engaged in
the merchant tailoring business. 1t
was the latter charge of which Clay
ton was in ignorance, and he returned
believing that only the check transac-
tions were recorded against him.
Sheriff Grant would fill an eastern
man with admiration, as he is the ten.
| derfoot's ideal of a western sheriff,
being large and powerfully built
man, OF sharp and piercing eye, but
withal of gentleness OF manner and
heartiness of speech that makes him
a most pleasant man to meet. It
was his first visit to this Part of the
country and he was unstinted in his
praise of Billings. which he designated
as the liveliest and prettiest little
city he had seen in all of his travels
through the west
Mr.. Grant arrived Tuesday night
and spent Wednesday walking about,
town and viewing the sights. He
left early yesterday morning for the
west with his prisoner. It may be
proper to add that he highly COM
mended the police force of the city
for its efficiency and alertness in ap-
pretending criminals.

I Among the attractions to be offered
at the state fair, which will be held
at Helena, October 5 to 10, inclusive,
is ladies' relay race.

The executive committee began it's
first meeting last Tuesday and spent
the first day in making classifcations
of livestock and arranging for the
various departments. The fair will
nave IL u1u0I6ui SGCl!OHS.
Present indications all point to an
unusually large number of special
valuable. Among the most liberal
ones already offered is that by the
Mccormick harvesting Machine COM
pany, which has notified the secretary
that it will give a $1Uu Mccormick
harvester for the best sample exhibit
of Montana grown wheat The Mon
tana State Registered Cattle Breeders
association has also given notice that
it will offer liberal premiums for beef
breeds.
At a joint meeting of the executive
committee and the county commission
ers of Lewis and Clarke county the
matter of constructing road from the
city to the fair grounds was consider
ed A complete understanding is
said to have been reached and the
board promised to cooperate with the
committee in every way possible. The
city will do the work of improving the
street connections at the Helena end
of the road. A plan to grade the
street has been approved by the city
council
Tomorrow the executive committee
and the city and county authorities
will meet and view the site of the
new road. Plans for it's general i'm
provement will be made and discuss
ed. 1t has been practically agreed
upon that a 1OO-foot boulevard will

LOCAL WOOL SALES CONTINUE
FEW IN NUMBER.
PRICES REMAIN THE SAME
Only Small Clips Offered and Those
Of Ordinary Quality-some
Consignments.

AS yet the wool market is only char
acterized by dullness and the small
ness of the clips offered. Prices re-
main about the same as at the OPEN
ing days, probably due to the fact that N
the woods put up are of very ordinary
quality and in small lots While con-
siderable of the staple is at the two
warehouses, the offerings are not what
was expected. The reason is that
many of the owners have not yet put
in their appearance, being detained
by duties at their respective ranches.
Then, too, many of the clips are incom-
plete, as the shearing season is later
than ordinarily, caused by trouble in
some cases with the shearers and in
others by the rains of last week,
which haveRdelayed shearing consid-
erably.
Since last report, Tuesday, the fol-
lowing sales have been recorded:

Nearly One Hundred Thousand Acres
to BE Thrown open 10 settlers.
The recent proclamation Of President
Roosevelt designating between 10000
and 100000 acres Of land in Porto Rico
to be set apart as public lands has led
to many inquiries, especially in The
United States, as to what these lands
are worth and how they may be Oh
tanned by individuals, writes the San
Juan correspondent Of the Phlladel-
phia Press. They are worth from SIS an
acre up, and when cultivated some Of
the tracts will doubtless increase In
worth twentyfold.
1t is not probable that they w1Il bu,
sold. The legislative assembly, which
viii meet in January next, will doubt
less arrange to lease them for long
terms and at low price, the proceeds
under the insular law going to the
University Of Porto Rico. These leases
viii be practically equivalent TO the
best titles and will contain provisions
for the full indemnity of lessees who
have improved the property If ever ii
becomes necessary for the insular gov
ernment to use the land. The lands
soon to be thrown open TO the public
may be classified as follows.
Flrst.-High woody lands, suitable
for trees, these lands being also pre-
ferred for coffee cultivation.
Second. Low hrushy lands, suitable
for fruits and the cultivation Of minor
products and sometimes utilized for
planting sugarcane
Third.--Level lands, fit for the plant
ing OF sugar cane, cotton. rice and rich
pasturage.
Fourth. -Argll and clayish lands,
adapted for the manufacture OF bricks
tiles and other articles Of domestic use.
There are also lands on which can
be produced as good tobacco as the
best obtained IN the island Of Cuba. 1t
requires only wise and careful manip-
ulation from the moment Of seeding to
the sorting, drying and curing process.
es. As a general rule. most Of all lands
are proper. for the cultivation Of fruits,
especially oranges and lines.
