Another noticeable feature was the
exceedingly largs number of Fergus
county people who We're present. II is
estimated that not less than two hun
dred people went over from this coun-
ty and they made their presence known
every one of the six days which they
spent in the State Fair city
The Fergus county exhibit of grain
grasses, etc, the first that this county
ever sent to the state fair, created no
end of talk among the fair visitors and
gave the county many hundreds of dol
lars worth of the best sort of advertis-
ing. Harry Brown, N. J. Littlejohn
and others remained around the exhibit
and answered questions. hundreds OF
which were asked. Mr.. Littlejohn col
lected the exhibit and Mr.. Brown saw
that 1t was artistically arranged in
Helena.
Some wheat which was grown by
Sandy" Baker on Cottonwood receiv-
ed first prize over the hundreds Of spec
linens on exhibition. We also got a.
first prize on grass and a large number
OF second prizes. Third prize on gen.
eral display was considered very
complimentary showing.
The feature OF the racing program
was the cowboys relay race.
In this splendid event Lorimer, the
Fergus county cowboy showedl up in
superb form. He completely outgener-
aled his competitors the first day and
got such lead that they were unable
to ever catch him although Douglas
of Helena, with string of race horses
cut down the lead from three minutes
to about forty-fice seconds. Dave Hill
ger. who stood sponsor for Lorimer
was especially pleased over the Fergus
county mans showing, The boys from
here offered to back their man in q
substantial manner, but the capital
city sports couldn't see any money In
1t for them so the boys had to squan-
der their spare simolenos on the auto
mobile race and other such tame af-
fairs
1t is proposed that next year there
be Fergus county day at the fair,
There We're Butte and Great Falls days
this year but on each OCCASION there
We're about as many people there from
Fergus as from the place in whose non
or the day was named.

Martin LANDS JAIL BREAKER

Sheriff L. P. Slater this morning re-
ceived the following telegram from
Under Sheriff Ed Martin, who has
been out for the past week running
down the two Roscoe boys and Brown,
the three men who recently escaped
from the Fergus county Jail:
I'VE have Brown. On trail of others.
Ed Martin"
The telegram was sent from Livings-
ton and it is presumed that Officers
Martin and Silverthorne tracked the
men from Twodot where they were last
heard from, to the vicinity of the Pa X
county city.

hammer Mr. Ayers simply because
he has tried to do his duty 1t might
be pertinent tn inquire at this juncture.
why are the men who run the games
of chance, the gamblers, in other words
so enthusiastically in favor of Frank
E. Smith? Have they some assurance
that the republican candidate, if elect
ed, will see that they are not disturbed
in their lawlessness? We do not say
that all of Mr.. Smiths supporters are
believers in disregard for an express
statute. Doubtless he has hundreds Of
friends who will support him because
of party loyalty or personal esteem.
For be 1t known that Frank Smith is
what Is known as good fellow" But
the question is, will he be a good coun-
~ attorney? There can be no evasion
OF the issue in this contest. Mr.. Ayers
stands for law and order. The people
who oppose his stand in that respect
are IN favor of Mr.. Smith. The con-
clusion is apparent. It Is up to the
voters of Fergus county to say whether
or not county attorney who Is honest
enough and fearless enough to do his
duty shall be endorsed or repudiated.
Whatever sophistries may he INDUCED
III py the opposition, that and that
alone is the issue in the county attor-
ney'S race.
John S. Marshall is a capable, con-
scientious young man and. being an
owner Of property himself and a tax
payer, he is in better position to as
sess Fergus county than the republican
candfdate whose name does not appear
on the assessment roll this year.
If Johnnie Malcolm is chosen COM
missioner, he will not run a road miles
around to avoid cutting up some big
landowners pasture. He will not ap-
point viewers to view proposed roads
and then pile up the cost to the coun-
ty by viewing the Same road himself
when it is absolutely unnecessary to do
SO. In fact. Johnnie Malcolm will be

NNE conspicuous departure from the
custom Of carrying children upon the
- back Is noticed in the Caroline Islands
and other groups of the South Paci-
fc. It is the general custom there to carry the
infant uTon the hip.
At very early age the Car,line Island child
learns TO accommodate itself TO this custom
Bestriding the mothers hip much as an Ameri-
can child would hobby horse, it clings on with
It's legs in remarkable fashion so that the bearer

arm, while the other arm is free to carry other
burdens or to engage in whatever work is at

as the proper thing.
Made of tree bark, leather grass. tho
papoose cradle is stiff, unylelding and appa--

Stuffed into it, however. and strapped so
that almost the slightest movement Is p.egeat-
ed, the Indian baby accepts his fate vlch the
stoicism that, later in life enables him L, with
stand the tortures inflicted by medicine men
without finch.
This method of caring for the young IS. per
haps, the most heroic of any people. Bound
tightly in its cradle, the Indian papoose can do
little more than wink its eyes.

WONDERFUL RECORD OF
 THE BARON PITCHERS
Of the Five Leading Twrers in the Southern League Br- mingham Has Three, Wilhelm, Clark and Ragan-Hughes
 and Lebhardt Other Members of That Quintette

It is very probable that a more evenly balanced staff than that of the Birming- ham team was never presented to South ern league fans.
 It is even probable t1at a more bal. anced staff was never seen in any other company. in leagues httle or big. minor or major.
 No pitcher of the local staff leads the league. Wilhelm IS the third pitcher of the league when pei centage is consid- cred. Ginger" Clark is fourth and Ra- gan is fifth. There you are Among bunch of some fifty pitchers, Birmingham holds third, fourth and fifth rank. Hughes of Atlanta Is leading the league, he hav- ing won twenty-three and lost but seven games in the season. Liebhardt of Mem phis is second. his record being thirty three won and eleven lost Wilhelm is third, he having won twenty-six and lost eleven. Clark is fourth, his record being twenty-three victories and ten de- feats. Ragan Is fifth with a record of twenty-five won and eleven lost.
 The Southern league this season has produced many stars of the slab. There are Hughes, Liebhardt, Suggs, T. Brett enstein, Maxwell, Fisher, Wilhelm, Clark Ragan and others The three leading Baron pitchers are in advance of all save Hughes and Liebhardt. Bretenstein is be- meath the three. Maxwell is below them. Suggs is one of the under boys. Max well is still further down. Fisher, who has been touted exceedingly, is twrling at lower rate than three Baron pitchers Take into conisedration this pitching record, considering Sallee's, too he hav- ing won thirteen and lost twelve games, a percentage greater than .5OO and then the question, Why has Birmingham won the pennant?" is answered.
 The league has eight clubs. Of the five leading pitchers of the eight clubs, Blr-

Fighting Cocks in Demand.
rom the London Mail,

From the London Mail.
 The export of fighting cocks to the col onies has been on the increase. Almost every liner that sails from Southampton for Cape Colony carries consignment of these feathered gladiators.
 Cock fighting is not only permitted by law in Cape Colony, but it has become al- most a national pastime, and exhibitions of fighting cocks are as well established there as dog shows in this country. A large number of British fighting cocks are also sent to the west coast states of America.
 Nor has cock fighting become extinct in this country, though forbidden by law. In the black country, around Oldbury, Wednesbury and West Bromwick, 1t four shes, patronized chiefly by the brawny puddlers on Sunday morning. Most of the spurs both silver and steel, are made at Walsall They are intended for export. and are not easily obtainable for home fights.
 There still lives in North Warwickshire the representative of a family which for generations has been devoted to the breeding of fighting cocks.

mingham, Friday and Saturday after noons. A big attendance Is expected.
 Birmingham had the biggest attendance on Labor day.
 This is nothing unusual, nor is 1t un- usual to prove, by official figures, that the claims of an afternoon Atlanta paper are erroneous.
 Immediately after the Fourth of July games Atlanta claimed the largest at tendance in the league. This Birmingham disputed, and there was a rather lengthy war of words, unless President Kava- naugh officially reported that Birming- ham had won. When the Labor Day games were played Atlanta again boasted of having the largest attendance. The same thing was repeated, with the excep- ton of the war of words. Again the official report from headquarters gives Birmingham the palm.
 Memphis, according to claims and boasts, has had the largest attendance in the league this season. But Birming- hams success so far has caused the be- lief to be strong that the Magic City will still win out when the league officials make their report on the cash
