The Custer Trail ranch has fine sad
die horses for sale. See adv. 4.l-8p
George Beisigl of Becker, Mimi, was
a west-bound passenger this week and
was met at the train here by a number
of his old Stark county friends. MIR.
Beisigl said that he was interested to
quite an extent in sheep at the present
time. Cattle he said were steadily ad-
vancing IN price and he Thought the
outlook very bright for people eof' the
Northwest.
Representative A. L. Martin was down
from Sentinel Butte on Tuesday. Re-
garding the wool situation he said that
he had not sold. The Wing representa-
tive bought a number of clips in that
locality for 2oc, but he wanted a little
more before he would be willing to con-
tract and thought that he would have no
trouble in getting it. Mr.. Martin thinks
that the wool will be all contracted this
season before shearing commences.
Joseph Mischief, a rancher from the
south, was in the city on Tuesday. Mr..
Mischief wintered $40 cattle without any
loss to speak of and is looking forward
to a good market.
Henry Schultz sold his $500 Aeeces of
wool to Suddard's house for &c. per
pound.
J. A. Caldwell of Gladstone has 100
unbroken horses that he will sell at right
prices. See him and you will find that
he means Just what he says. july Up
The past week Thomas Fisher was in
with an old gray wolf and her nine pups.
For years past this gray wolf has been
killing cattle on the head of Crooked
Creek and in vain the ranchers have
tried to shoot or capture her in some
way. This spring Mr.. Fisher left word
with his man at the ranch to let him
know at his place at Green River if
there were any indications Of stock
being bothered by the old wolf; and
when the man found two yearIings
and a calf killed he made haste to in
form his employer. MI. Fisher went
out at once and at 9 o'clock at night he
had tine den located, and with his lam
tern and rifle entered the hole. He had
not gone far when he saw a pair Of big
eyes and fired, knocking one side of the
VOLTS head off. A second shot brought
the wolf completely down but she still
had a little life and Mr.. Fisher fired a
third shot. The pups were sacked and
the following morning he drove to Dick
inson to get his bounty. There is great
rejoicing among the ranchers of the north
country at Mr.. Fishers success.
This week A. N. Jefferics and Lum
Higgins delivered 2 and 3 year old
steers to parties south as follows: Geo.
Ludolph $40. w. A. Shaw 200, A. L..
Field 300, and Pete Yauch 100. The
cattle were brought in from the west a
short time ago.
At last reports the big wool clip of
billiard & Merry had not been con
tracted. W..
