High Grade Beef Values Steady

Good cattle were fairly steady and
in demand, but the supply of native
habitat, grassy and common stuff was
even larger than looked for and buyers
drove in the wedge, which is rapidlv
separating values of prime and other
grades several notches further, says
Rappal Bros & Co., of Chicago, in a
special letter to the News under date
of June 25th, and they advise as
follows:
A miniature craze for live stock spec
u1ation has imbued the country since
the recent upturns in prices set in.
Spectators have been in the saddle
ever since the bulge began, and have
thrown SO much common beef on the
market, particularly this week, that
val1es naturally decended. Top cat
tie sold at $6.65 this week, and MANY
droves went over the scales at $6.25 to
$3.50. Buyers berated quality, dec1ar-
ing that dressing tests had proved dis
asterous to their reputation, and they
welded their hammers viciously on
low grade cattle. The weeks down.
turn will doubtless have the effect of
repressing rural speculation in COM
mon beef and check the supply.
AS an illustration of the present
status of the market we cite the sale of
lightweight cattle which we made on
Thursday for William Wilson, Butte,
Montana. Mr.. Wilson's cattle ran in
the willows all winter and were later
fed little hay; averaging 1923 pounds
and sold at $4. IS. These beeves as the
weight indicates, were only in a fair
condition and hardly up to the average
western steer in quality. Texas cattle
that tipped the beam at 1885 pounds
went at $5.65, and in this connection
we would say that winter hay-fed
| Montana or Dakota beeves weighing
1900 and upward would have found a
ready outlet on the weeks market at
$500 to so.
Handy weight sheep were steady,
and prime spring lambs made top OF
$3.50.

Vernle Beeman'S
Divorce Proceedings

Red Lodge Picket
Having decided to contest the action
| for divorce which his wife recently in
stituted in the district court at Butte,
Vernie H. Beenan, through his at
, torney, George w. Pierson of this city,
last Saturday made answer to the COM
plant of Blanche Beeman and has filed
cross-complaint and asked that the
case be transferred for trial from Sill
yer Bow to Carbon county.
From reading of the answer and
cross-bill it. is evident that the trial
will be very racy one and replete
with sdlacious details. After denying
all the material allegations of his
wife's complaint, in which she charges
him with intemperance, dissipation
and profligacy, Mr.. Beeman AYERS that
their 3-year-old daughter, over which
both are fighting, was born one month
after their marriage and that the
mother is an unfit person to have the
care and custody of the child by reason
of unchasteness, lack of filia1 affection
and offers to give the child away, first
to one person and then to another.
In his cross-complalnt Mr.. Beeman
charges his wife with adultery and
names E. M. Huff, a married man of
Forsyth, as correspondent. He also
accuses her of having been unchaste
at the time Of her marriage alleging
that she was intimate with Hugh Nc
Loud at Gebo seventeen months prior
to the date of her wedding and with
some other fellow even before that.
The defendent further alleges that
at the time he married the plaintiff he
didn't know that she was guilty of
illicit relations with other men and
that when these things came to his
knowledge she promised to reform, but
failed to keep her promise in that she
received improper attention, so it is
alleged, from other men, accepted
money and presents from them, carried
on clandestine correspondence with
them, and at Forsyth, in the year 1908,
committed adultery with E. M. Huff.
and later repeated the offense at Gebo
with another man.
The defendant therefore prays that
the plaintiff be denied divorce and
custody of the chi1d that he be not
compelled to pay alimony or her costs
of suit, and that he be granted a di-
vorce and decreed to have the exclusive
care, custody and control of his
daughter.

BEST GAME OF
The SEASON
Playing Excellent Throughout
Entii e Game. Very
Few Errors

Those who accompanied the Forsyth
ball team to Miles City Sunday had
the pleasure of seeing one of the best
and most interesting games of BAH that
has been played in eastern Montana
this season, and in fact for many
seasons.
Upon the arrival of the Forsythites
at Miles City they were greeted by the
Miles City band which played num-
ber of pieces on the street after which
they marched to the ball grounds
where they agsin played while the
Forsyth ball boys were getting on their
fighting clothes.
Shortly after. the arrival of the For
syth team upon the grounds the game
was called by DR.. Andrus who gave
entire satisfaction as umpire.
Forsyth was first to bat and ran in
two scores in the first inning and sue
ceeded in shutting Miles out. In the
first half of the second Sickler made a
hit, stole second and was taking a
good lead off that base when Harris
threw the ball to second striking Sick
Ter on the head, the ball bouncing
back Of the first base line. The sem
sations which stole over him were any,
thing but pleasant but he did not SUI
cumb; another man was put in his
place to finish the run and the next
inning Sickler came out with the rest
of the players and played as good ball
as ever. In this inning both sides
drew goose eggs. In the third FORSYTH
failed to score but Miles City had on a
streak of luck and did things. Hag-
gerty made a hit to right and Stevens
duplicated but the ball CONNECTED with
Haggerty and forced him to the bench;
Harris singled to right advancing
Stevens to second and taking first,
after which the Grand Old Man came
up with blood in his eye and hit the
ball full in the face, whereupon it hiu
itself in the tall grass on the further
side of the left fence, scoring three for
Miles. After that neither side drew
anything but blanks until the ninth
inning when Murphy was given base
ON balls, Smith singled and Harding
game in for two bagger, scoring
Murphy but Smith was tagged before
getting hottie. This tied the score and
Forsyth felt as though they were going
to win the game but fate was against
them. McGarry, for Miles, succeeded
in scoring and the game was called
off. The score follows:
