Cattle Values Continue Rising

Current receipts certainly tend to in
dictate period of beef scarcity until
the arrival of range beef, says Rappel
Bros. & Co., of Chicago, in letter to
the News and they advise as follows:
Beef values continue to soar under the
influence of light receipts, and popu-
lar weight cattle are 9Oc per cwt high
er than three weeks ago. Six cent
cattle, long expected. materialized this
week. Fridays top $6.25-was the
highest price of the year, and rs cents
higher than a year ago. Buyers have
given sellers we'll nigh what they have
asked for, and good profits were pock-
eted on nearly everything handled.
Practically no beef has been left on
the hoof over night during the past two
weeks. the bulk selling at $500 to
SIS. 40 the highest prices in two years
back.
I hemarked improvement in cattle
values of late justified expectancy Of
heavy runs during the past two weeks,
and killers have accepted the light re-
ceipts as evidence that feed lots are
about exhausted. Consequently, trad
ers are freely predicting that a lusty
demand will prevail for western grass
ers, and that even heavy receipts will
be absorbed readily at tiff prices dur
ing the coming season.
Chicago receipts of range cattle this
year promises to be largely in excess
of 1908, but the outlook for the western
season grows brighter week after
week. AS stated in our former letter,
the huge runs since the beginning OF
the year have practically cleaned out
feed lots in the corn belt creating an
outlet for grass stuff that cold adject-
ives cannot describe. Bullish senti-
ment anent the coming western season
is rampant, and rangers in general
are to >be congratulated upon their
brilliant prospects for obtaining pin
nacle prices for their cattle this year.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF ROSEBUD COUNTY

guilt. We only know that placed in
the custody of an officer of the law, he
becomes an absolutely dependent and
defenseless man.
That officer becomes his guardian
and his sole immediate protector;
and let that officer be so base as to
take advantage of the defenselessness
of prisoner in his charge and he
breaks statute of the code of NOR ality
which condemns him in the public eye
worse than the cu1prit in his charge.
While this prisoner says that Mr..
Huff borrowed the money from him,
we have no doubt that the amount was
in the possession of Mr.. Huff for the
purpose of being delivered to the war
den of the penitentiary to be placed at
the disposal Of Davis. Huff plead that
he was short of money, thus leaving
room for the presumption that he d.
verified the money in question to his own
use. Obtaining Davis consent to a
delay in the payment of the amount
till he reached home, it would appear
that it was his duty to make a remit
tance of the amount Immediately upon
his return home, and failing to do So,
he has justly merited the contempt of
every self-respecting man in Rosebud
county.
To relieve a defense1ess man of his
property under the promise of its
speedy return and even with a show of
consent on his part is a matter involv-
ing moral question only; but one to
which strong words are applicable.
We dare say that Convict Davis
would have enjoyed many a little lux
ury in his confinement with this mon
ey at his disposal: little comforts such
as tobacco or an occasional book with
which to while away the long dreary
hours.
We hope that Mr.. Huff will so far
mitigate this wrong as to return the
money as he promised. And if any
other prisoners have suffered the same
abuse at the hands of any other Off
GERS we would suggest that those off,
GERS make immediate reparation OF
their offenses and save themselves the
humiliation which will doubtless be
felt as result of this.

We have so frequently made charges
of graft and corruption against the re-
publican ring which holds sway in
our county and they have been so flip
PANTY denied by the Doodle organ that
we have decided to obtain absolutely
: indisputable evidence to present to the
public in support of every accusation
we shall publish.
The rumor reached us from the west
that prisoners taken from this county
to the state penitentiary had suffered
the loss of certain valuables, owing to
the consideration of the officer in
charge of them enroute.
The serious nature of this charge
caused us to refrain from taking the
matter up without clear statement of
the facts bearing upon some particular
case. This, we set about to get with
the following results:
Deer Lodge, Mont, June 4, 1904.

Forsyth, Mont,
Dear Sirs:
will answer the letter you
sent Thomas McTague (he warden)
in regard to the valuables which l had
deposited with Mr.. Huff which con-
sisted of money to the amount of eight
dollars.
When Mr.. Huff brought me here he
claimed he was short of money and
asked me to let him keep this till
he got home and then he would return
1t to the officials of this institution;
which he has failed to do. l also saw
Sheriff Northway and stated the mat
ter to him; but have never heard any
thing from him either.
had the warden write to Mr.. Huff
in regard to this money. He answered
his letter and acknowledged that he
owed me this account. You will con-
fer great favor on me if you will
look into this matter, and see that it is
Strengthened up as am not the only
person they have done in this manner

same way.
There is one man doing time here
now that they swindled in the same
way.

The readers of this paper will doubt

convicted of larceny in this county six
months ago, and was Immediately TAX

he be, he is nevertheless human be-

NEW GOLD SPIKE
 BACK OF PANAMA

A new gold strike was made twenty or thirty miles bach of Panama about three weeks ago. Good prospects were found on sev- eral creeks.
 The creeks. so far as known. are unnamed. Twenty or twenty-five men are prospecting there now, and a lot more will go as soon as the work at the military post is com pleted.
 A good many expect to put in the winter there, and Dick Hudson, formerly of Rampant, thinks so well of the proposition that he will take in boiler.

The Sarah Was in a Hurry,
 But Had to Wait.
Had Too Many People for
 Tanana to Entertain.

The N. C. Co.'S steamer Sarah had about 375 passengers aboard when she arrived at Tanana on her last down-river trip. No boats were in waiting to take the passen- gers on to the Fairbanks district, and when the Sarah proposed to land them and return immediately to Dawson there was a protest. Of course the town is unable to accom- modate such a crowd; and a com mittee of passengers waited on Major Williams. in command at Fort Gibbon, stated their case and requested him to hold the boat till they got transportation up the Tanana river.
 Major Williams at once notified the Sarah's officers to remain and afford the people asylum till they could find means to continue their journey.
 The Sarah people immediately wired to Fairbanks for the Panama and the Lavelle Young. They came and with the assistance of the Margaret took the passengers on to their destination.
 The Sarah went her way, and the incident was closed.

ASKED FOR
 AT FAIRBANKS

It is stated on the best kind of authority that Fairbanks authori- ties have requested that a company of soldiers be stationed at that place. This is not taken to be of any seri- ous portent; but is considered to be only precautionary measure. It is probable that the request will not be granted at least till some indi- cations of disorder are manifested.

OLD PIONEER GONE.
Was County Auditor Here When Cavalier
Was First Organized in '84.

Yesterdays daily papers contained an
associated press dispatch which came
as sad news to many of Langdon's early
day residents who recall easily their
friendship and acquaintance with
"Billy Mathews" who was appointed
auditor of Cavalier county at the time
of its organization in 1854. His period
of residence here though short was at a
time when the few who lived here
mingled together with a fellowship
which makes the tie of friendship last
ing. The dispatch is dated from Bad
Axe, Mich, and says:
w. Hudson Matthews, we'll known to
the hunters of Michigan as BILLY"
Matthews, was drowned in Saginaw
bay while out with boat near his
bungalow, situated between Sebewaing
and Bayport. Matthews home was
formerlyin Montreal. He spent thirteen
years in the employ of the Bank of
Montreal. He was ranchman near
Winnipeg in the early seventies and
later the first auditor of Cavalier county,
North Dakota. His fortunes were at a
low ebb for several years till legacy
made him comparatively we'll off. He
had lived here for several years, coming
first on account of the hunting. He
was one of the best wing shots in Canada
and was we'll known among Detroit bird
hunters. His body has not yet been
found.

LANGDoN's CANDIDATE LEADS

Mrs. E.A. Farrell, of this city, at the
present writing bids fair to DO one of
the seven North Dakota winners in the
Minneapolis Tribunes popular voting
contest which closes October 1st and
awards the winners free trip for them
selves and a companion to the st. Louis
fair. The week closed with Mrs. Far
rell going from fourteenth to sixth place,
polling $4,000 votes, the best showing
made by any North Dakota candidate
This vote came as a distinct surprise to
the other contestants and puts Mrs.
Farrell very much in the running. She
is now close enough to the leaders to
make her formidable competitor for
the Tribune's special prize of 16 horse
power Rambler touering car automo-
bile which goes to the contestant head
ing the list. In this contest Mrs. Far
rell is deserving of much praise for the
able and systematic manner IN which
she has gone about her work. The
showing made by her is certainly a
good advertisement for Langdon over
the state. in fact one of the best we
have ever heard. Let us all put our
shoulders to the wheel and help her ad.
vance from sixth place to the head OF
the list.

that the south end of the county is
