We were in camp on the middle

by Two Medicine river which rises at
an elevation of about 10000 feet in
the main range of the Rockies on the
Blackfoot Indian reservation. The lake
which we camped is about 5000
feet above sea level and our camp was
just opposite peak about 1000 feet
higher. One morning M. w.
Clark, who is friend of Mr.. Ru-
bottom of Great Falls, brother-in-law
of Fred Carter, and who once lived in
Ottumwa called our attention to a
mountain sheep grazing half way UP
the mountain Mr.. Carter, Clark and
myself Immediately saddled our horses
and rode UP the mountain as far as
possible and hiding our horses in q
clump of pine trees, began our climb
up the rocks, when we saw another

Billy had Il grudge of long standing against

walking through a deserted business street on
his way back to Brooklyn ne espied this par

Most persons would have been satisfied with

through a side street, so that he was out of the
way himself, and then called up the precinct
station and told them that they would find

JULY COTTON coRNERgD.
Brown Hayne Bull Clique Bids is

Bale is Offered,

Bale is Offered.
New Orleans, July 31.-With re-
peated bids of Is cents for everything
in sight in July cotton on the floor
of the New Orleans exchange yester-
day, and not a solitary bale offered at
the record price, the consummatio.l
was marked of the greatest cotton COR
ner in the worlds history.
1t meant that the Brown -Hayne bull
pool had so effectually cornered the
market in raw July cotton that not
a single bale was at hand to be ten
dered them, neither was there cotton
sufficiently near that it could be ten
dered by today the last day of the
month. The whole transaction becomes
important cotton history when viewed
from that standpoint. The Brown
forces had been waiting for it. They
sprang the offer and no one called.
They stood masters of tae situation,
absolute, complete.
The Brown people have actually
bought between 250.0oO and 100000
bales of cotton, and they have paid out
about $20,o00,000. Cotton has been
brought here from the southern and
eastern mills and been imported from
foreign lands to feed the greed of the
Brown bulls. Today they sprang the
supreme card on the bears, but could
not get a bale. AS result they
claimed the victory and declared the
corner had become complete.
