ontana horse Sales Company's Initial
Sale Highly Successful.
With the close of today's sale some
thing over $500 head OF horses have
been disposed of by the Montana
Horse Sales company, which opened
its initial sale last Monday. The at
tendance of both sellers and buyers
was large and from the expressions
to be heard all were more than salts
fed. The horses sold were of the
customary run of range animals and
the prices obtained were good.
So well pleased is the company
with its first venture that it has de-
cided to hold a second sale here. This
will take place within the next 80
days. It will be even larger than
the present, as the company has es-
tablished a reputation for carrying
out all its promises. Many of the
growers who did not avail themselves
of the first sale have given assurances
that they will be on hand at the next
one, while also many more buyers
are expected.

Kind Words for the Dead from Red
Lodge.
The news of the death of Allan Far
rell, which occurred in a hospital in
British Columbia, one day last week,
came as a shock to his legion of warm
personal friends in Red Lodge and
Billings, says the Red Lodge Picket.
Deservedly popular wherever he was
known, "Boxy," as he was Familiarity
and affectionately called, was one of
the most companionable and gener-
ous-hearted men who ever lived in
the sunshine or drove the skeleton
from a feast. Keen of intellect, full
of humor and possessed of a happy
disposition, he existed in an atmos-
phere of optimism and his unexpected
death is deeply deplored. Poor little
Boxy! Peace to his ashes.

His Last Hope Realized.

From the Gebo (Mont.) Sentinel:
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he encounter
ed much bad water, which together
with the severe heat, gave him a very
severe diarrhoea which it seemed al
most impossible to check, and along
in June the case became so bad he
expected to die. One day one of his
neighbors brought him one small bot
tie of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera,
and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope.
A big dose vas given him while he
was rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in a few minutes
the dose was repeated. The good eff
feet of the medicine was soon noticed
and within an hour the patient was
taking his first sound sleep for a
fortnight. That one little bottle
worked a complete cure, and he can
not help but feel grateful. The season
for bowel disorders being at hand
suggests this item. For sale by all
druggists.

Letter from President Of Associated
Woolbuyers COMPANY.

-0S eN0OVNs0AV0
Woolbuyers Company.
The following letter from the presi
dent of the Associated Woolbuyers
company to their buyer, Mr.. Lawson
who is now in Miles City, contains
some information very favorable for
woolgrowers, says the journal. The
letter is as follows: %
Salt Lake City, Utah, June 10, 1903.
W. e. Lawson, Miles City, Montana:
The following statement made by Mr.,
Theodore Justice is significant: .The
third series of London wool auctions
closed on the 23rd ult at an average
advance of 20 per cent on Merino
woods and ~ per cent advance on
~crossbreds in comparison with the
average prices obtained at the same
series one year ago.
"The relative position of domestic
and foreign wool shows that while
American woods are only about 4 per
cent higher than they were one year
ago, Merino in foreign markets, as
compared by COS Botany Tops are
over X per cent higher than they
were a year ago, while foreign cross
breds are Is per cent higher now than
then"
This statement is very significant of
the future healthy condition of the
wool market, as our W woods must
necessarily respond to the London adj
vances sooner or later. The same au-
thority states that as against 247, 3OO,-
900 pounds on hand in the United
States on June j, 1902, there is on
hand June l, 1908, only 183, 600, 900
pounds, or a decrease of 81 per cent.
This with the shortage of the wool
crop throughout the entire west, is
bound to make wool of a greater de.
mand than it has been for a number
OF years. Buyers are using the theory
that strikes are prospective in the
textile districts, but there is not any
more danger of this than there has
been at other times and even II
strikes should occur they would not
be lasting because of the healthy
condition of the country. Very truly
yours.

Obituary.
Communicated

Leslie, son of Arthur and Nellie
Rich of Park City, died of scarlet fever
June %, after an illness of one week.
Leslie was 9 years, 4 months and
% days old. He vas a bright and ac-
tive child for his age. He was a mem
Der of the Trewin Union Sunday
school and when he could be present
was very attentive and took an active
part in all the exercises of the school,
thus winning the love and esteem
Of the officers and teachers, by whom
he will be greatly missed.
During his illness he tried to sing
one of the songs the school had just
been learning. Once, as his parents
sat by him weeping, he looked up
and said: I'VE must not stand in
Gods way" Another time he said:
Jesus is my Savior, my ALL"
The Borrowing parents have the
heartfelt sympathy of a very large
circle of friends, who regret that they
are not able to do more to comfort
them in their deep sorrow, but our
loss is Leslie's gain, for ~" .
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on his gentle breast,
And there by His love o'ershadowed,
Sweetly his soul may rest.
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe from harm and care,
Safe from the worlds temptations,
Sin cannot harm him there"

ONE WOMAN WHO FOUND MAR
RAGE A FAILURE.
CRUELTY Her JNLY SHARE
Lily M. Snooks Tells Tale Of Suffer-
ing in SUPPORT Of Demand
for Divorce.

Gul "a = AAO uAAS0A4S \
and utter disregard for the sanctity
of the marriage VOWS Is the charge
that Lily M. Shocks makes against
her husband, George E. Shocks, and
asks that the district court come to
her relief and release her from the
bonds she finds u~nbearable.
Through her attorney, r. T. Allen,
she has filed an action for divorce
from the man whom she declares has
ruined her life and blasted her nappi-
ness. In her complaint she alleges
that she and the defendant inter-
married at Cleveland, Chouteau coun-
ty, this state, April 8, 1901. Only a
few months passed before she realized
the serious mistake she had made
when she consented OF become his
wife, for she charges that wholly
disregardant of his vows and obliga-
tions he began a systematic course OF
inhuman and brutal treatment of her,
consisting of cursing, striking and
kicking her without cause of provoca-
ton, and for no other purpose than
to crafty his temper.
Going more in to details, she al
leges that December %, 1901, while
drunk the defendant struck her and
used abusive and insulting language
toward. On many occasions between
chat date and November Of the fol.
lowing year, she continues, he struck
her heavy blows with his fist and also
kicked her, all the time directing
language to her that was vile, vuE
gar and abusive.
In the last month named occurred
another and more serious assault.
On that occasion he knocked her down
with his fist, the blow rendering her
unconscious, in which condition she
remained until she was revived by
kicks in her side administered by her
husband, who vas standing above her
'theaving curses" at her. This treat
ment continued and became more and
more unbearable as time went on and
only ended February Is, 1903, when
he drove her from their home, she
alleges. She was without means and
was compelled to work for friends in
order to secure food and shelter, per-
forming the services of a domestic
for those who sheltered her.
Since the last date mentioned she
AYERS she has been obliged to support
herself and has received no assistance
from her husband. She says she did
not wilfully desert the defendant, but
he forced her to leave him, as she was
afraid he would kill her in one OF
his fits of drunken frenzy.
Fortunately there are no children
by the marriage and Mrs. Shocks asks
for a simple divorce and SUCH other
relief that the court may think her
entitled to.
