"Doing Time"

GLENDIVE, Mont, March 1S.-The
Weird case was disposed Of yesterday
in Judge Lords court, the jury bring
ing in verdict Of guilty of perjury
as charged and fixing the punishment
at five years in states prison.
The case is one of particular inte-
rest to stock raisers of Montana, mas
much as it includes what was one o.
the most extensive bounty frauds ever
perpetrated in the state. The co-part-
ners of Weird have been punished, but
the state was unable to locate MIN un-

The crime was committed in Sep

PRICE ON ALL KINDS OF FODDER
DROPS FROM 81 TO 81 A
TON.
Plenty of Hay in the Country to Sup
ply the Demand Until New Crop
Comes In.

A sharp slump in the price of hay
occurred this week. Alfalfa hay On the
streets has dropped from 50 to So a
ton and wheat and timothy nave also
dropped from one to two dollars ton.
Wheat hay sold for 50 yesterday and
it was possible to get good timothy
in the price Of ba1ed hay so far as the
result of the slump in the price of
loose hay although a decline is ex-
pected by dealers shortly.
According to local dealers there is
plenty of all classes of hay to supply
the demand until the new crop comes
in. A large amount of alfalfa hay
raised in the Walla Walla river and
Hudson Bay countries was bought up
by stockmen for their cattle, but most
of the hay being brought to Walla
Walla at present comes from points
nearer to the city and the shortage
in the Hudson Bay and Walla Wa1la
river sections does not affect the
local supply to any great extent.
The opening of the Gardena irrigat-
ed tracts is expected to result in the
Hudson Bay country becoming great
feeding point for outside cattlemen
who winter their stock in that sec
ton. This winter it is estimated that
5000 head of cattle were fed at the
various stock yards. The Gardena
country is expected to produce large
quantities of alfalfa and as it is in
close proximity to the stock yards an
important industry will result.
