OMAHA LIVE STOCK MARKET
Specially Reported tor this Paper by
Clay, Robinson & Company, Live
Stock Commission Merchants

Receipts of cattle the past week have
been about 1000 heavier than the pre-
vious week, $4,000 head being placed
on sale. The market as Il rule has
been in very satisfactory shape taken
as whole and the. general trend has
been rather strong than otherwise.
Good to choice killing steers are strong
with week ago, and there has been
quite a proportion of very good stuff
offered. The best here this week sold
at $4 90 and S.. Is; fair to good $3.7o to
$4. 90; common down around 1926 and
down. The COW market has also held
up in good shape during the entire
week on anything at all desirable and
the trade is strong for the better kinds
while common stock is at least steady.
Good COWS this week sold at $500 to
So. Is; fair to good $40 to $2.S5; can
ners $1.75 to $500. There has been d
good number of feeder buyers here the
past week, and the offerings in this
line have been quite good throughout
the week. There seems to have been a
larger percentage of good feeders hav-
ing weight and quality, while the
common ordinary stuff has been as
usual slow and hard sellers and these
if anything are little lower. Good
to choice heavy feeders are selling a,
$500 and $4. IS; fair to good $3.65 to
50. 90; good light and medium steers
So. so to $3.75; fair togood $3. Is to $3. so
good yearlings $3.75 to S4.OO.
The run of sheep was little heavier
this week than last, but notwithstand
ing this the market was strong anC
active from start to finish and prices
materially higher for all classes O
killing stock. Good wethers, yearl

from 40 and so cents higher than las

George Case In the Mlx-up

The roundup of an organized gang
of rustlers which has begun in Valley
county and in North Dakota has de-
veloped some featured which give it a
local interest in Miles City in addition
to the natural interest which a stock
raising community would feel in the
affairs of that industry in neighboring
localities.
A few years ago Day & Creswell, a
former North Dakota outfit whose
brand is popularity known as the ''tur
key track" trailed their cattle through
this vicinity on their way to a new
range in northern Montana and Canada.
Joe Case was foreman of the outfit and
George Case was wagon boss. Both
are we'll known here personally.
From the following dispatch from
Great Falls i'll the Standard, it ap-
pears that George Case has succeeded
in getting himself pretty thoroughly
mixed up in the rustling business be-
fore mentioned. The dispatch reads:
Charged with being the principal
agent in Montana of gang of horse
thieves who have stolen more than 1000
head of horses in Valley and surround
ing counties during the past pear
| George Case has been placed under
| arrest and is unable to secure bail, at
Glasgow. The officers are close on
the trail of a cowboy named Ryan,
alleged to have been one of the most
active of the thieves, and several more
arrests will be made in a few days.
Case has for years worked in northern
Montana, having been wagon boss for
the "Turkey Track" outfit. His name
was mentioned in one of the letters
found on the thief recently killed near
Malta by Inspectors Hall and Teal,
and in the same letter were statements
that led to the recent arrest on charges
of completely in the robbing of H. w.
Denny, a banker and mayor of Willis
ton, N. d., and Arthur E. Meg ahey, a
blind pigger of Williston Letters
| have been forwarded to President
Roosevelt, signed by several peace
officers and prominent stockmen de-
manding the removal of federal
official in North Dakota who has adj
mitted that he acted as agent for the
sale of the stolen horses. AS soon as
RYAN is caught the officers will arrest
a number of farmers of Valley, Dawson
and Rosebud counties and severa
more residents of Williston or vicinity

In the navy it is considered by the

to keep the guns in order. The fighting

when they firmly believe that luck is
