* AND WOOL INTERESTS OF THE GREAT JUDITH COUNTRY

but some dealers have had a better
demand this week from both wooden
and worsted manufacturers. Most of
the weeks sales have been of mod
crate sized quantities, and have in.
cllKled territory, fieeces, secured and
some foreign clothing stock. One sale
of the latter included several hundred
thousand pounds of Argentine cross
breds. The tone of the market is
strong and trading Is at full previous
rates. Receipts are small and deliv.
cries have exceeded them by nearly
100000 pounds. Foreign advices are
bullish, with the demand SO active that
prices will probably rule firm for some
time to come. Australian markets are
about per cent higher than year
ago, and the Argentine season is open
ing at values above the ideas of Amer
ican importers.
Philadelphia The Philadelphia
wool market is dull, but firm. There
has been fair inquiry for fine and
fine medium territory, and some samp-
ling has been done through those lines
by manufacturers, but no large trans
actions have yet resulted. There are
but two houses with any large lines
to offer in territory woods, and they
appear Indifferent about realizing un-
til they can get the full price asked.
This manufacturers are reluctant to
pay. There has been only moder-
ate business in fleeces here, but prices
of all descriptions have been satisfac-
torily maintained"

THE ETTEIN-DRUM CASE.
Jury at Billings Find the Issues in Fa.
vor Of Ettein,

Billings. Oct. 21.-Yesterday morn
ing the jury's verdict in the case of
William Ettein against Harry B. Drum
was announced. The verdict is as fol-
lows:
1--WE, the jury in the above entitled
cause. find the issues herein for the
plaintiff, and find that he is entitled
to recover of and from the defendant,
AZ head of cattle branded with the
pitchfOrk brand on the left shoulder,
with bar through said brand, and
branded with the HUH brand on the
left ribs; and in case said cattle or
any of them cannot be re-delivered to
the plaintiff, plaintiff is entitled to re-
cover of and from said defendant the
sum OF $33 for each Of said cattle
which cannot be re-delivered.
"J. P. KELLEHER, Foreman"
A short time after the verdict was
received into court the attorney for
Mr.. Ettein, the plaintiff, filed a notice
of remitter with the clerk. The no.
tice is directed to the attorneys for
defendant, against whom the verdict
was given, and states in substance that
it will, at 2 O'Clock today. tender in
court remittal of $33 per head from
the price fixed by the jury. The rea-
son given for the action of plaintiff
is that the jury made mistake in de-
termining the value of the said cattle,
the proof being that they were worth
$40 per head instead of $33. as stated
in the verdict. 1t is unlikely that de-
fendant will accept the remitter as

trial will be filed, and if 1t is refused

New Company Formed.


The Sunrise Mining company has
just been organized in this city, and
the articles of Incorporation will be
filed today or tomorrow. This com
pany takes over the Anderson group
of claims near Maiden, upon which a
fine strike was made a few weeks ago
Much development work has already
been done, and the main tunnel is now
in over 80 feet. At that distance a
body of rich ore was encountered, and
we'll informed mining men who have
inspected the property believe it can
be made paying proposition from
the start, when facilities for handling
the ore are obtained. The company is
capitalized for the modest sum of $4O,-
900, divided into shares of the par val
ue of 81 each. The directors, with
the amount of stock subscribed for
by each, are: s. D. Anderson, 10000;
]. B. Shaw, $4,000; William M. Nc
Clean, 800; H. L. De Kalb, 800.
The ore encountered in the main
tunnel assays $24 ton, and the first
thing the company will do will be to
develop this lead and ascertain how
much of the ore there is. Mr.. Shaw,
of Maiden, one of the incorporators,
expresses the belief that the Sunrise
will turn out to be the biggest thing in
the vicinity of the famous old camp.

John J, 6ulIard Returns,

him considerable fame and fortune,
returned last week from St. Paul,
where he has been for some time look
ing after his interests in the Queen
company, owning the Bullard ranch,
on which rich ore has been found. Mr..
Bullard says his suit against President
Wiedenborner has gone over until No
vember 25, to leave the way clear for
the ratification of the sale of the con-
troll of the Queen to the Kendall COM
pany. The stockholders of the Queen
are to hold meeting on Nov. 9 for
that purpose, and it is hoped that the
warning factions will settle their dis
putes among themselves over the dis
tribution of the stock before that time.
The sale to the Kendall company took
place some time ago. the Kendall buy
ing a majority of the 100000 shares
of the Queen company at 80 cents a
share. This, however, has to be rati.
fed by the Queen stockholders. who
are all in favor of the deal, but who
are not agreed as to the distribution
of the treasury stock among them.
selves. The Kendall, it will be seen,
is in no way concerned or interested
in the squabble. but Mr.. Bullard is
inclined to think that unless harmony
is restored, the Kendall may just take
it's drill off the Bullard ground. and call
the whole thing off. Mr. Bullard has
gone out to Kendall, and will be join.
