lands commission A. F. Potter, rep
resenting the department of agricul-
ture, has been looking over the Milk
river region with a view to studying
the range of that part of the state.
This is in pursuance of a plan adopt
ed by the government to properly clas-
sify the grazing lands into summer
and winter ranges. Mr.. Potter's work
has taken him all over the west and
has occupied his time for a number
of months. He is at present preparing
a map that will show the approximate
classification Of grazing lands, as di-
vided into strictly summer ranges.
winter ranges and ranges that may be
used all the year round.
Explains His Work.
Mr.. Potter was at Great Falls a
few days ago and to an interviewer
explained his work and also told of
the different ranges still remaining in
the grazing regions.
Me AA0u64 WV SOuI4 WOolCAu SJdlS0,
there are many ranges that, on ac-
count of the scarcity of water, can
only be used during the winter, when
there is 10 on the ground, which
the stock eats in lieu of water said
he. "Then in the mountainous re-
gions, where the altitude is high, there

for summer use, but which cannot
be fed during the winter. Other ranges
can be used during the whole year
around. Thus my work is that of
classifying the different ranges into
the three different kinds the summer
range, the winter range and the all
the year around range and showing
their location upon the may which /
am preparing.
"My work also includes the show
ing of the general location of areas

building reservoirs. l have in hand,

sion may decide therefrom, what to
recommend in it's report. My method
of securing this information is by
meeting and talking with the stock
men who use the ranges, and rho are
more familiar than anybody with The
conditions which prevail in their local
work in this state east of the Rocky
mountains, having visited the coLn,
try al along the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern railroads and stopped
off at many places.
Eastern Montana, that is that por-
ton of the state lying east Of the
Rockies, will be classified principally
as a n all the year around range; a
range upon which stock may be fed
during the IL months OF the year,
barring the most severe cold and
stormy weather of the winter, when
the stockmen feed hay.
West of the Rocky mountains, in
the high, mountainous regions, the
country will be classified as winter
range. Nature generally seems to
wen herself up. The mountainous
country, where stock conditions are
not favorable, is generally found to
u high in minerals.

ROBBERS ARE CAUGHT.
Sheriff Valentine Lands the Men
Wanted at Buxton.

Sheriff Valentine and Deputy
Moore have been rewarded for their
quick work in running down the
thre men wanted in Buxton for as
sault and robbery. The offenders
are now under arrest and will be
brought here Immediately. The Of
tenders are Erving Roman, Arthur
Bell and Harve Richards, who have
been bad men in and about Buxton
for some time past. The men secur-
ed between eighty and ninety dollars
from a colored man named Skies, a
assault upon this man and upon a
white man named Jim Vaughn, left
the two men terribly pounded up, cut
and bleeding and insensible, upon the
floor of a resort and made good their
escape.
Skies was with the three men Sun
day afternoon and paid for their din
ner at a restaurant in Buxton. He
was then prevailed upon to give one
of the men a dollar and a quarter in
cash, anu W dllOLuSI nc gave dDOut
one dollar and seventy-ive cents.
The colored fellows came to the con-
clusion that Skies had some more
money and they planned to get it if
they could. They went to a mining
settlement in Mahaska county, near
Buxton, known as Union. Here the
men entered a place and the trio or
conspirators wanted Skies to again
treat them, calling for drinks. Skies
was becoming tired of being a good
fellow all of the time and he refused
to further favor the men. They there
upon jumped upon him in a three
sided assault, broke several beer bot
ties over his head, pounded and cut
his face, used a knife or razors upon
his body, beat him into ins~ensibility
The Oskaloosa herald., 1904-05-12

and took what they could find of the
money he had. A white man, Jim
Vaughn, sought to interfere, where
upon the men turned upon him also
and he shared the fate of the colored
a The darkeys were sure that
they had killed Vaughn and he was
left for dead. There is hardly a
square inch of skin on his face that
does not show the marks of the en-
counter. The colored man heard the
fellows say as they started to run:
I'VE have done for the white man and
1 guess we have killed Skies too. We
had better get loose from here"
Sheriff Valentine deserves consid-
cradle credit for the promptness with
which he has acted and upon his
success in capturing the men who
were making every effort to get away
from the scene of the crime.

next meeting of the council, May IT.
Walk to Be Wider.
Mayor Williams called the atten'
ton of the council to the narrowness
of the sidewalk on South Market
street between High avenue and First
avenue, or from Baldaufs corner
south to the corner of the Mahaska
County Bank. The walk is entirely
too narrow for the accommodation OF
the traffic that passes here in busy
times. The mayor suggested that
the walk be widened to sixteen feet,
and the matter will most likely be
done.
Officer Appointed.
Mayor Williams announced the ap'
pointment of Chas. Barnes to be a
police officer in the employ of the city
to fill a vacancy made by the resig'
nation from the service of Deputy
Marshal John V. Miller.

KID M'CO|'Y GETS {.
The DECISION.
.(By Associated Press.)

LOS ANGELES, CAL. September 27.-
kid Mccoy was given the decision
over Jack Twin" 3 Sullivan. OF Boston,
at the end OF twenty rounds at tho Pa
Vilion tonight.
The fight was fierce one from the
start both men taking advantage of
every rule that was short of actual foul
ing. Mccoy punished Sullivan severely,
having his nose and mouth bleeding in
the unfair tactics OF the men,, which did
no damage. the fight WAS good one.5
Sullivan appeared to be III the better
condition. and although he was groggy
at the end of several rounds and down
K for the count In the twelfth, he recu-z
perated quickly and came back strong
In each successive round. Mccoy tired
after the twelfth, but was so much the
better ring general and boxer that he
was able to take his time whenever
he chose.
In the twelfth, which was the hardest
round, Mccoy hammered Sullivan on the
face and body until the Boston man went
down, and took the count Of nine, He
managed to get to his feet Just as the
gong rang, which probably saved him
from a knock out, Mccoy showed all
his old time cleverness and generalship.
but did not appear to have the punch
that has won him many battles. AL
though he landed his right many times
on sulllyan's body and jaw he failed
to put him down more than once all
though staggering him half dozen
times. tii II
