YELLOW JACKS RAvAcEs.
Chapelle Falls Victim +
the Dreaded Disease.

the Dreaded Disease.
New Orleans, Aug. 9.-This was the
first day since the fever appeared here
on which there was any apparent de-
preston in the community, and there
are two reasons for it. One was the
death of Archbishop Chapelle, who
succumbed to an attack of the pre-
vailing illness, and the other was the
general closing Of stores, in accord
ance with the mayors proclamation
urging everybody in the city to de-
vote today to a general house clean
ing.
While the death of the distinguish
ed prelate is deplored, because of the
loss which the community sustains, it
is also regretted because of the ef-
feet it will have upon the outside
world. It is feared that it will cause
the belief to spread that hundreds
here are really much worse than they
are.
Quite number of the new cases
are in clcose proximity to existing sub
foci, indicating secondary infection.
The new sub foci are evidently even
ly divided, six being above and six
being below Canal street. One is in
a hotel and the patient is well
known citizen. In the death list all
but one of the names indicate foreign
origin, showing no variation from the
preceding records.

TWO ALLEGED
H0RSETHlEVES
JACK SHAW is ARRESTED On THE
- MuSELsst+Es.s. BY lMSPec.<. !.
TOR SHAW.

Jack. Shaw was arrested at the Slay-
ton ranch, near the Museslshell, a
few days ago by Inspector Thomas
Shaw, and is now in the county Jail.
1t is expected that charge Of horse
stealing will be filed against him.
Jack Shaw has been under suspicion
for some time, but lately, nothing
could be learned as to his whereabouts
until Inspector Webb, of Yellowstone
county, gave the tip that he might be
found at the Slayton ranch.
For Him to Explain.
In Shaw's possession, Inspector
Shaw found three horses that belong
to other parties. One of these ami
mails is a Fergus horse. and another
is from the range near Evans, in Cas-
'cade county. So far, Shaw has not
been able to make any satisfactory
explanation as to how these animals
came in his possession.
Another Arrest.
Deputy Sheriff Tullock on Wednes
day arrested John McKechnie on
Swimming Woman, on the charge OF
selling a horse belonging to AL. Bush
ard. A hearing in this case will be
held shortly.

TELEGRAPHERS STRIKE.
First Definite Step Taken to End the
1iQ Struggle.

ST. Paul, Aug. 10.-The first definite
step looking toward arbitration Of the
struggle which has been in progress
for over week between the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail-
ways and the Order Of Railroad Teie-
graphers, was taken today, when Gov
ernor John A. johnson addressed let.
ters to Presidents J. J. Hill and How
ard Elliott of the railways and Presi-
dent H. B. Perham, of the telegraph
ers, urging settlement of the trou-
BILE and Offering his services as med
iator. The exact terms of the let
ters written by Gov. Johnson are not
known. as the governor preferred that
they should be given out by the re-
cipients, if they saw fit. In gener-
al way, however the governor outlin-
ed to the Associated Press what was
contained in the letters. He called
the officials notice to the fact that the
present srike was working a hardship
in various communities throughout the
state and appealed to them to take
speedy steps to secure an adjustment
of the troubles.
To this end, he rendered the good
offices of the chief executive, saying
that he stood ready to appoint com
mission to consider the differences
between the contending parties, or in
any other way to assist them to come
to some agreement that would permit
the roads to move their traffic with
out the delays and inconvenience thai
are now said to exist.
! Governor Johnson was prompted t
take this action by numerous letter;
he has received from commercial or
ganizations and citizens Of the state
urging him to take some measure Il
end the struggle. The governor stat
ed that some of the letters he ha'
received declared that businss in som
, sections Of the state was almost pars
, lived, by the conditions which nov
: prevail. s-i :,

RAILROAD ASSESSMENTS.
state Board Of Equalizers Will Make
No Change.

No Change.
Helena, Aug. 1O.-At the conclusion
of today's meeting of the state board
of equalization, Gov. j. X. Toole made
the informal announcement to the
representatives of the several rail-
roads in the state who had previously
addressed the board, that there would
be no material change in the assess
ments of the roads this year.
The purpose of this action on the
part of the board was to enable the
railroad representatives to depart up
on their missions, and to relieve them
of the belief that they might be call.
ed upon to return to protest against
an increased assessment privilege
accorded them by law.
While the announcement was rath'
er informal, yet it should not be TAX
en- that there will be no changes what
ever, as it is regarded as probable
that some slight reductions may DC
made on the branch lines of one OF
more roads. The assessment as fix
ed for main lines last year was S14,
OS2 a mile, and from this therefore 4
may be stated that each county of thu
state will receive about the sam,
amount this year as was paid last yea
by the transportation corporations.
Soon after the board met today an
nOuncement was made to the railroa,
representatives. including G. 8. re,
maid, of the Northern Pacific, r. A
Wilkinson. of the Great Northern, j
B. Evans. of the Oregon Short Line

VIM. WESTON
IS HELD UP
ROBBERY REPORTED NEAR THE
RESIDENCE OF GEORGE J.
WiEDEMAN LAST NIGHT.

William Weston, we'll known
teamster. wo has been employed by
Emmett Hamilton, reported to Mar
shall Marion Burke last night that he
had been held up and robbed of $75
and gold watch.
Mr.. Weston states that he was walk
ing near the residence of George J.
Wiedeman, when two men met him
and ordered him to throw up his
hands, saying, I'VE want what you've
got" AS the order was backed up by
a big gun, which one of the thugs
held on Weston, he complied with it,
and the other man went through him,
taking the money and watch as stated.
This occurred shortly after 10 o'clock,
and after securing the plunder, the
men ordered Weston to depart with.
out looking back.
Search Is Made.
Just as soon as he received the in.
formation, the marshal started out
to look for the hold-ups. Mr.. Wes'
ton was able to give pretty good
description of the men who did the
job, but they evidently kept under
cover. 1t is stated that Weston had
a bill changed in saloon earlier in
the evening, and in all probability
this was witnessed by the men who
later held him up.
Burglars Get Busy.

made an attempt to break into the
Majestic saloon through rear win

SHEEP AREN
SHARPDEMAND
FERGUS COUNTY WILL HAVE
10000 HEAD LESS NEXT
YEAR THAN THIS.

According to the estimates Of the
best posted sheep men in this coun-
ty, Fergus will have 100000 head of
sheep less next year than it had this
season, due to the many sales that
have been made to parties who will
take their purchases out of the coun-
ty. Mr.. Tompkins, the Billings buy
er, is alone credited with having pur-
chased something like $4,000 head
of sheep and lambs, and he is still
gathering them in. Among his lat
est deals are the purchase of the
Knerr lambs and yearling wethers,
the latter bringing $3.50 per head;
about $500 lambs from A. c. Green
at 1925 and F. R. Warren's lambs at
the same price.
Feeders in Demand.
There is considerable demand for
feeders, and old ewes are bringing
from $1.4O to $1.50. Dry ewes are
worth from 1925 to $3.50. Stock
sheep sell at from $3.50 to $2.75.
while young ewes and two's and
three's bring around $3.50.
Waite, Elliot & Peck have sold to
J. B. Elliot 4,2OO head of yearling
wethers at close to So. This band will
not be taken out of the county, but
will go to Mr.. Elliot's ranch.
Last Of the Wool.
OF course the wool shipping season
closed several days ago, but to keep
the record straight, it may be said that
the very last lot of wool, consisting
of about four sacks, which had been
delayed, came in Tuesday night, was
at once baled out, and the ware
house is now out of commission fol
another wear.
