CAUGHT in postoffiee

Later additional particulars of the
arrest Of Stensland were received. He
was taken into custody while in the
British postoffice in Tangier. He had
aIghted but short time before from
the German tramp steamer Oldenburg
and came to the postofice to direct
the forwarding of his mail under the
name of "P. Olsen" to Mogador, 400
miles southwest of Tangier. AS he
entered the postoffice he was recog-
nized by Assistant States Attorney
Olsen who at once placed him under
arrest.
The news of the arrest of Stensland
was received in the section of the city
in which his bank is located with
great excitement. A long line of de-
positors was in front of the bank wait
ing for their money when the an
nouncement was made and it was
greeted with cheers, groans and
threats.

them have much cause for complaint.
inasmuch as they have still made con-
siderable money and their profits are
large with wool at good figure and
sheep high. Before many days the
sheep market will commence its activ-
ity and 1t is expected that large num-
bers of sheep will change hands this
fall and the number of sheep in the
state be still further reduced. Ewes
are selling in the vicinity for $3.50
per head, with young ewes at 81 in
some sections Of the state. Lambs are
selling around $3.50. being contracted
at that figure for October delivery.
Wethers are bringing from 81 to $3.50
and it is expected that there will be
further advances in sheep as soon as
the feeder buyers arrive from the east
to fill the feed lots. The marketing
of sheep this fall will probably be
somewhat heavy and it is expected
that large numbers will change hands.
Among those who have retired from
the wool business in Montana this
summer is the Sands Sheep company,
which operated in the vicinity of
Chouteau. The Sands ranch is one
of the largest and best equipped plants
in Montana and thousands of head of
sheep have been run during the past
thirty years. 1t is stated that the ewes
brought $3.50 head; the lambs 1925

Der, when most deliveries of sheep

A Movinu Picture Incident.

Rome, Sept. GA most fantastic
scene took place here yesterday in
the Via Sistina. A wedding process
sion passed by, the bride and groom
walked arm in arm, and followed by
large crowd of friends-men in tall
hats and women dressed in white and
wearing rich jewels.
Suddenly young man rode up to
the bride on a bicycle, seized her, lift
ing her on his bicycle and rode off
with her toward the Piazza di Spagua.

Of the incident screamed for assist
ance, and guards and soldiers who
were passing rushed after the fugitiv-
es. While the cyclist was pedaling
as fast as possible opposite the Span
ish embassy a policeman on duty sue
ceeded in catching him by the collar.
An enormous crowd assembled, but
then the unforeseen happened. The
bride and bridegroom and their friends
all turned upon the policeman, declar-
ing that he had no right to interfere
The policeman, however, insisted upon
taking the cyclist to the nearest pc.
lice station.
Here it was finally explained that
the procession and the abduction were
acted for cinematograph, and the on

More Common Sense Needed.

1t is high time that a lot of expert
menting doctors and yellow journal.
lists quit soaring the people to death
every day. More than one-half the i'll.
ness of today is caused by lively imag-
nations fostered by detailed publica-
ton of the theories of doctors. They
may act from the best motives but it
would be as we'll if good deal of their
theorizing were confined to medical
journals where it will be read by those
who can take it for what it is worth.
Our forefathers ate what they want
ed, drank water from springs and
brooks with never thought of mic
robe. and they lived to green old
age. We strain and filter and boil and
examine and test and worry and
stew, and most of us die untimely
from digestive trouble, if we escape
an operation for appendicitis. Let's
have little common sense. little
less popular science and a whole lot
better health. Sentinel.

REVIEW OF THE
WOOL MARKET
FERGUS COUNTY WOODS RECOG-
NtZED AS THE BEST IN
MONTANA.

The Montana correspondent Of the
American Sheep Breeder has the fol.
lowing review of the wool market in
this state for the season just closed:
Montana's wool season for the year
1906 has closed and all the buyers
who have been in the state for sew
eral months past have returned to
their homes in the east. The season
may indeed be said to have been fill
cd with disappointments to the grow
er and to have been very unsatisfac
tory, indeed, to him. In fact prices
were much lower than year age
and in many cases the price offered
was felt by the grower to be so much
less than the wool was actually worth
that the figure offered was refused
and the wool consigned to eastern
commission houses.
More wool was consigned this year
than for the past five years and it il
estimated that at least 100000 oil
the Montana clip has been shipped
east this year for sale later in the
winter. c. NJ. Bair, the largest WOO
grower in the west, consigned his en-
tire clip to a Boston firm. The clip
consisted of about 100000 pounds
The John T. Murphy clip of 100000
pounds also went to an eastern com
mission house as well as one Of the
large clips of Bower Bros.
The prices paid for wool this year
varied from 13 cents to "a cents Such
large attitude in prices has never
before been known in the history OF
the wool business in Montana But
little wool was sold at "a cents, while
few clips were disposed of at Is
cents. On the Great Falls market
many thousands of pounds sold fol
16 cents, II cents and Is cents. These
same woods last year brought % tt
23 cents. Better prices prevailed or
the Billings market than in Grea
Falls, from TN to % cents being
paid at the latter place.
Fergus County Woods.
The Fergus county woods, which
are rapidly gaining the reputation O
being the best in the market brough
around 20 cents and better Man,
thousands of pounds were marketed il
Billings and Lewistown this year
Much Of the wool at the latter place
formerly went to the Great Falls mar
ket and were detracted from tina
place by the building Of the Montana
railroad. thus affording better facili
ties for transportation and doing
away with such long hauls. A large
amount of the Judith Basin wool form
erly went to Great Falls, thus swell
ing the receipts at that point. Grea
Falls has lost it's position as being thu
largest wool market in the west. Bill
ings having marketed several million
pounds more this year than the Elec
trio City.
Although the prices of wool have
not come up to the expectations of tn,
wool men this season still none .
