HELD FOR ASSAULT,

Sheep shearer Makes an Attack Up.
on Col. A. c. Greene.
E. B. Jewel, sheep shearer, had
a hearing before Justice of the Peace
Mcfarland yesterday afternoon on
the charge of assault in the second
degree, and was held for trial, his
bond being fixed in the sum of $500.
The defendant was represented by
Huntoon, Worden 4 Smith, while
County Attorney Ayers conducted the
prosecution.
The evidence for the prosecution
showed that the defendant was EN-.
ployed as one of the shearing crew
at the ranch of Col. A. C. Greene,
near Greene. While he was thus EN-.
ployed two or three days ago, Col.
Greene testified that he saw Jewel
beating sheep over the head. The
colonel ordered the man to quit abus-
ing the woolie and then instructed his
foreman to discharge the man. This
order was conveyed to Jewel, who
finished the sheep in hand, and then,
without word, walked over to where
the colonel was standing and hit him
terrific blow over the head with his
shears. Jewel was at once taken in
custody, and it looks as though it
would be some time before he shear.

the crossing. They were on the east
side of the street, and were coming
from the south, and stopped in the

Il the train passed over the crossing.
Riley and Cresap were, no doubt,
watching the passenger train go by
them and paid no heed to the switch

OF the crossing at rapid rate of speed.
The switch engine was backing up
and it struck both of the men. The
bodies were dragged about 25 feet

had passed entirely over them. Gre
sap was cut squarely in two across
the middle of the body and was ter
rlbly mangled. Riley was also badly
mangled. His left leg was partially

Attempt to Wreck Train Fails,

Portland Ore, July 20.-An unsuc-
cessful attempt was made shortly at,
ter midnight this morning to wreck
the northbound Northern Pacific pas
senger train known as the Twin
City Express" at point two miles
west of Scappoose, Ore, by placing a
steel rail weighing $50 pounds across
the track.
At the point where the attempt was
made the track has a slight down
grade parallel with the river. The
engineer Of the train saw the obstruc.
ton in time to slow down the train,
but the force of impact when the
cow-catcher struck it was sufficient
nevertheless, to bend the rail into the
shape Of horseshoe. The rail was
carried for about 100 yards before
the train was brought to dead stop.

AN IMPORTANT
LAND RULING
UNDER IT, ISOLATED TRACTS
MAY STILL BE TAX.
EN- UP.

Helena, July 2O.-Secretary of the
Interior Hitchcock has recently made
an important ruling concerning the
taking up of lands with soldiers addi-
tional scrip, military bounty land
warrants and the taking up of isolat.
ed tracts. The Collins Land company
received today copy of the ruling Of
the secretary. Under the act Of Aug.
80, 1890, congress provided that no
one shall be permitted to acquire ii.
tie to more than 800 acres in the as.
gregate under the land laws.
In May of this year the secretary
construed this law to mean that en-
tries under the timber and stone act
came under the prohibition. Later,
the commissioner of the general land
office went farther than the secretary
and in letter of instructions to To-
cal officers said the limlation applied
to soldiers additional scrip, military
bounty land warrants and isolated
tracts. Under this ruling many
stOckmen and others who had already
reached the lint Of 800 acres were
cut off.
The matter finally reached the sec.
rotary, and in his letter to the COM
missioner he says the commissioner
is wrong, and that while the timber
and stone act decision stands. not
withstanding the fact that a person
may have acquired title to 800 acres
under the public land laws, he may
still use soldiers additional scrip,
military bounty land warrants and
take up isolated tracts.

Outlook for Western Rangers oooe

Outlook for Western Rangers Good.
The advance of time finds no
change in traders opinion of the com.
ing western cattle markets, and both
sellers and buyers are anticipating
better values for western grassers
than for several years past, say Sim
clair, Gillett & Co., live stock COM
mission merchants Of Chicago, in a
special letter to the Argus, and they
advise as follows:
THE ready manner in which Tex
ans are being disposed of and the sat
isfactory values they are bringing, is
very indicative of the urgent need OF
westerns. and If any of the buyers at
this market had ever labored under
the illusion that they were going to
secure western cattle this season at
bargain counter prices, it has long
since been dispelled. No man can
preserve such a mistaken opinion in
the face of the conclusive evidence
recently furnished. We had every
reason to anticipate the present and
prospective conditions six weeks age
and the trade in general have &C
cepted it as a foregone conclusion
while buying sources in general
have operated steadily and actively
during the past three weeks, it is q
fact that feeders are meeting but a
nominally satisfactory market. This
can be accounted for in number Of
ways: The present high prices be
ing paid for corn have caused native
feeders to become cautious, and they
are more in the humor to liquidate
than to congregate cattle at the pres
ent time. They have concluded, and
wisely. that they will be able to Sc
cure very desirable feeders upon the
arrival of western cattle, and they are
justified in their views, even if, az
present conditions indicate. they are
forced to pay higher price for them
inasmuch as by the time the bulk Of
westerns arrive. the present growing
corn crop will have advanced far
enough for them to estimate with Z
certainty the yield. The present coz
dition of growing corn is very en-
couraging, and a good crop means
that a large number of cattle viii
be placed on feed the coming win
ter. It is our opinion that this fal
will find very active demand fol
