Range Cattle Shipped.
The first trainload of range cattle has
left Belle Fourche for the eastern mar
ket. The Franklin Cattle company has
commenced shipping and others will
follow this week. All the large cattle
companies on the range have anywhere
from ten to seventy-fiv cowboys in
their employ, in readiness for the
annual fall shipment. 1t is costing
them as high as $1,000 a month expense
in pay roll. Just as fast as possible
shipments will be made, although the
market will in all probability go down
as soon as heavy shipments begin. A
heavy rain the first of the week visited
all parts of the range north and EDS of
Belle Fourche, and excellent fall feed is
predicted.
Held mp Near waubay.
B. f. Mullen, a plasterer, fell among
thieves on a freight car going west from
Waubay, Thursday afternoon. There
! were three o: his assailants, but when
ordered to throw up his hands, Mullen

Jones fixed up his injuries. Mr.. Null
len did some work in the vicinity Of

find his assailants. Says he would
recognize them all right, but hopes he
will never see them again.
Don't Shoot Ont of Season.
Let the prairie chicken alone. They
are the only game birds native to the
state. Give them as long a lease of life
as possible. AS a food assest they are
the most valuable game bird on the
American continent. With proper pro-
lection they will give the farmer many
a toothsome mess for years to come,
The excuse that ''the town fellows will
come out and kill them off, if yoH don't
is no excuse at all. The birds are
strong of wing and naturally wild by
September lst aud the best shot among
town dudes can't make any serious
inroads on the number after hat time.
The pi,ds belong to the state; they are
in a sense migratory; belonging to no
man. Protect them from yonr W
inclinations and the temptation TO VIC
late the law of propagation as well as
the law of man Will be lessened. Keep
hunters off your land entirely, if you
wish, but wait until September lst
before doing any hunting yourself.

Aberdeen was perpetrated Thursday
night, when the residence of Chas. III.
Anderson, the general agent for the
Heileman Brewing company, was
entered and not less than 81 900 in cash,
diamonds, watches and jewelry taken.
The work was clearly that of profess
SIGNALS of the higher class and no clue
of any character has been obtained. 1t
seems evident that the ROBBERS had
studied Mr.. Anderson's habits and
knew that he is at this time of the year
making large collections from custom
ers in other places and that having con
in late last night from a trip. he would
have a large amount Of money in his
possession, In this they were dis
appointed, because Mr.. Anderson,
though many times collected many
hundreds Of dollars on his trips, invari-
ably buys drafts or postofice orders and
dispatches the money from the point
where money is paid him. He conse
