successfully in the vicinity OF South Heart
the past 10 years, is purchasing meterial
with which to fence a section of land
where he will run $50 ewes, all that he
has left OF his large band. At present

acquired large holdings Of land, and it
now affords them range for large herds,
and the advance in the price of land has

Butte Republican will be read with re-
greet: 81. B. Stoddard had the misfortune
to lose his handsome pacing horse, Brown
Prince, the first Of the week. The horse
broke his leg in some way in the stall and
splintered it so badly before a veterinary
surgeon could arrive from Glendive, that
the noble animal had to be killed. He
was no doubt the finest driver and saddler
in the county and an exceptionally intel
ligent animal"

arrested Wednesday and hailed before
Squire Moves court on a charge of will
fully driving stock from the range, pre-
ferred by John Johnson, otherwise
known as "Cat Coulee," who was the |
owner of the cattle. The law, which
was placed on our statute books at the
instance and for the protection of the
ranchmen, is plain on the subject, and
in the light Of the facts submitted the
justice was constrained to bind the de-.

though it was too clear for discussion
thai Bard had been pcstered to death
with Johnson's cattle getting into his
wheat and WAS only actuated by a de-
sire to protect his property when he
drove the cattle away. The trouble
with Bard was that he drove them too
far-a distance of about twelve miles,
so that they were in danger OF being lost
to the owner.-Mandan Eek.
