ARE BECOMING INTERESTED.
Many Horsemen Will Attend Montana
company's Big Sale.

Every assurance has been received
by the gentlemen who are managing
the affairs of the Montana Horse Sales
company of a large attendance OF
both buyers and sellers. Observation
tAnd experience have taught the breed
er that he may always rely upon OBJ
tanning better prices for his animals
at a competitive sale than when he
undertakes to dispose OF his stock at
private sale. In this instance in par
ticular the number of buyers who will
be on hand will be exceptionally large,
as the forthcoming sale has been a
yertised extensively and knowledge OF
it has reached every part OF the coun'
try. Another encouraging feature IS
the unusual demand that exists for
horses OF every description ,especlal-
" western animals, consequently bid
ding may be depended upon to be live
" and spirited and full value will be
received for everything sold.
The company has secured one OF the
best and most famous auctioneers in
the country to conduct its sales. He
is thoroughly familiar with very
part of the business and always OBJ
tains good prices for stock he sells.
NO charge will be made for Nnlmals
not sold and no horses will be sold,
except with the consent of the owners.
A commission of only 81 will be charg.
ed for horses sold in lots, while $2.5o
is all the charge for selling single
animals or pairs.

were disappointed when they learned
that instead Of stopping here the visi-
tors would merely whisk through
town. In a measure, however, they
had been prepared. A number OF
days ago /. D. O'Donnell received a
letter from the secretary Of the party
informing him that IN all probability
no stop would be made here, as it had
been decided to visit the park and
this would n~ecessitate a change in
the original plans. Still hoping that
they would be able to make a tour
Of the park and visit Billings also,
Mr.. O'Donnell said nothing about
the change. Last Saturday a baggage
car containing the baggage OF the
party arrived from the west and re-
manned until a through train arrived
and then it became very apparent
that no stop would be made, and Mr..
O'Donnell let it be known. Because
of the length of time necessary to
view the park it was accepted here
as a fact that other places would not
be honored with a visit, notably Far
go, N. D., where a stop was to be made
for the purpose OF visiting the big
wheat farms of the region.

UNDER STRONG GUARD.
Dewey Gang Going to Place of Pre-
liminary Hearing.

Denver, Colo, June S.-A special
to the Times from Colby, kan., says
that under guard of a sheriff and
posse and a company OF state militia
Chauncey Dewey. Clyde Wilson and
w. ]. Mcbride alleged murderers OF
4. NJ. Berry and two sons, left there
today for a 4O-mile march across
country to st. Francis, where the pre-
liminary trial will be held. It is be-
lieyed that the march will consume
three days, and as telephone wires
nave been cut, the guard is not likely
to be heard from until st. Francls
is reached.
Dewey, who is a son OF a Chicago
millionaire, and second cousin to AL
miral Dewey, refuses TO talk, Dut
seems cheerful and in good spirits.
Of1cers of the militia and others DO
not fear an open battle with armed
settlers, but are afraid that as the
party passes through the hills and
wooded places efforts may be made by
sharpshooters to pick OF the accused
prisoners.

the negative vote cast in the city pre-
cincts came as a welcome surprise
to the friends of the proposition to
bond the county for the erection OF q

When the commissioners decided to
call a special election considerable
opposition developed in the city, par
ticularly on the south side, where the
prediction was made that the question
would be defeated, or ii not defeated
the majority it would receive would
be infinitesimal. AS events go to show

but little was heard concerning 1t

DELAGOA BAY.
mt This Time Because of the
Transyaal War,

Delagoa bay was discovered By
Fasco de CANA N 1902, and explored
10 years later by Portuguese officer
pamcd Capt Lorenzo Marquee. Until
the beginning OF the present century
Portugal exercised a more or less nom
inal sovereignty over the bay as well
as over the entire coast line OF Afric1
but had completely abandoned its
po4ts and trading stations on the cas-.
coast when in 1923 Capt. Cunliffe
Owen, of the royal navy, obtanea
from native chiefs n cession of Della
goa bay to Great Britain. England
founded town on the bay, to whicl
was given the name of bombay, az
In 1867 Portugal refounded immediate
ly opposite the town OF Lorenzo Mar
quez. ON the ruins of the old-tine
trading station of that name. In 1869
the Portuguese concluded a CONNER.
cial treaty with the South African re-
public, and this brought to an acute
stage the dispute as to the ownership
OF Delagoa bay. The question was re-
ferred 10 the arbitration of the presi-
dent OF the French republic, the Eng
lish resting their case ON the conces-
sions obtained by Capt Cunliffey Owen.
In 1876 Marshal MacMahon, then chief
magistrate or France, gave an award
il. favor Of Portugal, which was loyal
ly accepted by England, an agreement
however, being concluded between the
two nations, according to which Eng

including pelagoa bay.
For time one heard but little OF
Delagoa bay, and then the place was
once more brought on the tapis by
The conflict which arose in connection
with the railroad, now running from
Lorenzo Marquee to Pretoria. The
Transyaal portion of the line was built
Ivy German capitalists, while the 10
miles OF Portuguese territory were
constructed by an American conces-
sionaire, Col. McMurdo, with the help
of English capital. Before the line
bad been opened very long Col. Nc
Murdo suddenly died, and the Portu-
thereof to cancel his concessions on
the ground that the McMurdo COM
pany had not carried out all it's en-
gagements. Both the United States
and the English governments there

1t was agreed to submit to arbitra-
ton the question as to the amount Of
compensation due by the Portuguese
government to the McMurdo-Anglo-
American company for the seizure OF
the line, the arbitrators being selected
by the Swiss government. They have
failed until now TO give an award.
But it is certain when granted to be
against the Portuguese government
which will be mulcted in heavy dam
ages to the company, damages which
1t will be unable to pay without the
assistance of Great Britain. For the
Portuguese treasury is on the verge
of hanlruptcy.-~Detroit Free Press
