Bill is a handsome red ana white
steer and he makes his home In the
stock yards of Swift & Co. In st. Jo-
seph, Mo. He is 2 years old and is
one Of the most intelligent animals i'm
aginable. He is employed as a decoy
and he has led many thousands Of his
kind to their death during the time
he has been in the business Of slaugh-
tering.
At one time Bill was the widest of
the wild steers in the yards. He came
flesh from the Texas ranges and was
as full of life and vigor as it is posi-
BILE for steer to be-. That was the
reason he was selected to take the
place in the killing chutes of his pred
ecessor, who had grown old and a lit
tie bit lazy. 1t is necessary that the
animal used in this business shall not
grow fat or slothful. He must be en-
ergetic, full of life and willing to
work.
The task Of tanning Bill was under
taken and he was soon docile animal
and yet full Of vigor and fire. He was
then trained to his work. It took a
long time to teach him, but he finally
learned what was wanted of him and
he is now perfect decoy. Brig. Peb-
bles of the western territory Of the
Salvation Army, recently took a trip
through the yards of Swift & Co. and
he took a great interest in Bill Said
Brig. Pebbles:
Il never saw a more intelligent ami
NAL than Bill. He leads abow 1000 of
his kind up the killing chute every day
and does it with an intelligence that
Is remarkable. He takes his place in
front of bunch of cattle and tries to
attract their attention. After he gets
them all to looking in his direction he
starts up the chute and as the leader
nears the end he curls up and allows
those following to pass by. If the
cattle are inclined to hesitate he will
start again for few feet and then
curl up again, and in this way he
leases them on until they arrive at the
fatal pen. The animal seems to be
gifted with almost human intelligence,
and it is wonderful the way he has
been trained. He seems to take pride
in his work and at times seems to dis
play almost a nischievous delight in
Turing the herds to their DEATH"
Brig. Pebbles tells also of a big
black ram who leads the sheep to the
slaughter pen. He employs the same
methods as Bill does, but Of course he
has an easier position, for sheep are
proverbial for their tendencies to fol-
low the leader. 1t Is no difficult mat
ter at all for this black sheep to get
a big flock to follow him up the long
chute that leads to the killing pens.
The foolish animals fall into line and
trail up the steep pathway with pat
tering feet and are soon in the pen,
while the black sheep who lured them
on remains huddled against the side
Of the fence, ready to go back ana call
another bunch Of bleating animals up
the narrow way.

Since farmers along the banks of
Benson creek, in Kentucky, have been
gathering in baskets and catching
with their hands thousands of live fish
that were rendered temporarily hors
de combat by the breaking of great
watts at the Fitzgerald distillery.
More than $4,000 gallons of pure
whisky were turned into the stream,
and as a result of this accident the
fish were made drunk. In droves they
came to the surface of the water,

TORNADO HIT
HAVRE, MONT.

Havre, Mont, June 13.-Havre and
Fort Assinniboine were struck by tor
nado Tuesday afternoon that did dam

Buildings were toppled over without
warming when the wind struck and not
structure in the path of the tornado
escaped damage. Several persons were
injured, but up to late hour no fatal
tiles. were reported.
The fierce wind carried rain with it.
which fact precluded the possibility Of
damage by fire. Men and women were
swept from their feet by the hurricane
and for several minutes it was counting
injury to venture outside.
Later the wind ,subsided some and
the work of rescue commenced.
An earthquake could not have more
completely demolished the glass in the
city. There is scarcely whole pane
OF glass in the down town district and
residences also suffered severely. The
Havre hotel lost $50 window lights and
many other buildings were similarly
treated.
Pandemonium reigned for time af-
ter the hurricane struck. Women were
hysterical, and even the men feared to
venture from their houses. To remain
insiude avs equally as dangerous, for
the cyclone threatened momentarily to
demolish even the strongest structures.
The two top stories of the Havre
Commercial company g building, con-
crete affair, were picked up by the wind
and deposited on an adjoining lot. The
lower floor, used as store, remained
intact, but IL clerks, most of them
women narrowly escaped being buried
in the debris.
Telegraph wires are down, and COM
munication with tine outside world is
practically paralyzed.
In the quarter of the city occupied
by the colored residents a panic pre-
vailed. zMany believed that the end of
the world was at hand, and scores
Frustrated themselves upon the ground
in supplication.
Contrasted with the fright of the
colored population was the stoicaI de-
meanor of the Indians from the Assin-
niboine reservation near this place.
The redskins huddled IN a group near
the post traders store, wound their
blankets about them more tightly and
weathered the hurricane without
murmur or an exclamation Of fear.
Locomotives in the railroad yards
sounded signals of distress when the
fire tower was demolished by the wind.
A score of railroad employees fastened
to the scene and rescued several men
from the ruins.

The Farmers Endorse the President.

That the farmers and live stock men
are not standing with the beef trust,
but heartily endorse the attitude of
President Roosevelt in probing the
Chicago packing house conditions and
exposing the same, was shown in a
manner which leaves no doubt of how
the farmers stand at the Washington
State Farmers convention at Pullman
Saturday when rousing resolution
endorsing the attitude of the president
was passed unanimously, amid shouts
of approval.

WAS SHE MURDERED?
Sensational Developments Following
Death of Miss Kilgore.

Did Miss Cora Kilgore die from
wounds caused by fall, or did
some one murder her? That is the
question agitating the minds of the
public IN general, and especially
relatives of the deceased. The
Mayfeld Messenger says:

distance south of Fulton, some sen.
sational Developments have cropped
out
On the Thursday before her death
on Friday she was found in an out
house late in the afternoon almost
dark in an unconscious condition
with bruises on her throat and
head. At the time it was supposed
that she had fallen in one of her
dizzy spells of which she had been
subject to. The wounds proved fa-
tai, but she was never able to tell
how it happened. A few days ago
a relative of the dead girl from Ar
kansas came to the house and after
learning the circumstances sur
the death he at once ad-
vanced the murder theory, and it is
now conceded by relatives of the
dead girl and many others that her
death was due to that cause. There
was no member of the family on
the premises at the time, her moth
er having gone to milk the cows a
short distance from home.
Miss Kilgore, who was an ex-
;eedingly handsome and popular
young woman, was to have been
married the following week and

STARTLING ROBBERY.
DR.. Turney Robbed of $5, 900 in Cash
at His Home in Alexander.


One of the boldest robberies COM
mitted in Fulton county and per-
haps the largest amount of cash
involved, was stolen from Or. A. j.
Turney at his home in Alexander
Sunday night, Jan 2.
1t being the first of the year, it
was probably known that DR.. Tur-
ney had made large collections and
had not had an opportunity to come
to town and make his deposits.
About midnight train stopped
at Crutch6eld and it is thought that
the burglars left on that train.
DR.. Turney is one of the most
prominent physicians in Fulton
county and has large income, not
only from his practice, but he also
has large tracts of land which he
rents The burglars got away with
between S4, 700 and IS, 200
A few weeks ago note was
slipped under the door at the home
of DR.. Turney which contained
threats Of killing him, and since
that time he has been hiding his
money as he made his collections in
the smokehouse near his residence,
and it was this house that the
burglars broke into and secured
the amount above mentioned -

special Announcement.

w Especial Announcement.
I'VE adopt this method of for
= .-(ally announcing the consolidation
of the two firms of Hardy Bros. &
Sheriff. and the Haguewood,
O'Daniel Co. of Rutherford.
The combined capital stock will
be 800, 100000 and will be EN-
ployed entirely in operating our
stores.
We will also continue the tailor
ing business of the Robinson,
Bransford Co. which is the largest
business of this character in the
State outside few of the largest
cities. This department will be
under the management of Messrs.
II. T. and Geo. W. Robinson and
will be conducted on the same high
plane of merchandising that has
always characterized this popular
business. We will use the same
high grades of Innings, trimmings,
as were used by the old firm, and
Mr.. Robinson will extend the same
courteous treatment to his friends
and the friends of our firm that he
has always employed.
Mr.. II. L. Robinson will be
manager of the clothing and fur
nishing goods department. This
of itself will insure an absolutely
square deal' to every customer
we have, as his experience and
knowledge Of this line of merchan
disc coupled with his consistent
desire to do a strictly e-price
business, fits him perhaps better
for this responsibility than anyone
we could have possibly secured.
Mr.. 9. Z. Hardy, whose knowl-
edge of shoes gained from many
years experience fits him better
than anyone else, will have charge
Of the shoe department.
The dry goods department viii
be looked after by Mr.. j. l..
Haguewood, who will have per-

entire business and will represent
all the stockholders as vice presi
dent and general manager.
The Rutherford store, which is
perhaps the largest store between
Union City and Jackson, will be
under the management of Mr..
Mack O'Daniel and will share
equally in ali the advantages that
will come to us through our en-
larged outlet for merchandise.
We are now re- marking every
hrticle in our stores in plain figures.
