Lewiston, Mont, July 5.--The wool

contracting has been in progress but

these authorities. that already 2O,-

and this too, in many cases, after the
wool was actually sheared and on the
way TO the local warehouses.
Estimating the total clip of the
state at around 10000. 900 pounds thi,

however. to fill actual orders and not
for speculation in any sense.
The remainder OF the clip, about
100000 pounds, will be offered on
the local markets, which will open to-
ward the end of this week, and con-
siderably less will be realized for
them. The buyers estimate that they
will bring less than Ice on the aver
age. being the least desirable clips.
With so little wool to be offered for
competitive bidding. the markets are
likely to be rather tame, but even IL
these clips bring no more than the
buyers now estimate, It will be seen
that the average on the whole clip
of the state will not be under zoe,
which is as good as was estimated last
season and probably a little better.

ILLEGAL FENCING THE CHARGE
One Montana Man In Jail, Other
Pleads Not Guilty.

Helena, July 5,-Joseph T. Carroll,
manager of the Iargey Lumber COM
papy and one of the most prominent
men in Montana's business life, last
night completed term of "a hours

Carroll was indicted by the federn
grand jury last spring for the Illegal
fencing of 20i0 acres of public lands

1ner was sentenced in 1906 by Judge

The Broncho Tournament.


Following the ball game the bron-
cho riding tournament was held and
it proved an exciting feature OF the
celebration though 1t was marred by
delays and the fact that the crowd
refused to give sufficient room for
riding. Also the horses, though sew
eral bucked well, were not of the
strenuous variety sometimes seen.
The first rider up was Melvin Buck,
and he rode his mount to a standstill
without difficulty. Guy Hays was
number two, and was unfortunate in
having his saddle come loose. Saddle
and rider were pitched headlong over
the horses head, but Hays was not
injured. Two other horses were later
given Hays to ride, but they both
refused to perform to any satisfaction.
The third rider, Hinton, was thrown
after but a few jumps, and he was
followed by Sherburn, who rode sor-
rel belonging to James Thompson.
However the horse was not a swift
bucker and in fact showed but little
inclination to throw its rider.
Dick Shaw of Echo, was the next
rider and he had a big bay that buck
ed to the satisfaction of the crowd.
At the conclusion of the contest Shaw
was awarded first prize a handsome
$40 saddle offered by j. J. Hamley.
The second prize, a pair of angora
chaps, was won by Melvin Buck.
while Guy Hays was given the third
prize, S5 bride, and Riley Burden
the fourth prize, a SO bride.
Owing to the inability of the iffi-
cials to keep the crowd back, much
confusion was caused during the tour
nament and several bad accidents
were narrowly averted. During the
riding one of the spectators, Luther
Drake was run down by the bucking
horse and hurt upon the head, though
not seriously. Also runaway fur
nished some excitement, but the team
was promptly stopped by the mount
ed men in charge of the tourna-
ment.
Last evening the 14th Cavalry band
gave a concert at the corner of Main
and Court streets and following the
same the streets were illumined with
roman candles ana rockets Dancing
was then taken up at the fair pa
viiion and at the armory, where the
people gathered to close the days
festivities.
Committee Deserves Credit.
That the celebration yesterday was
a splendid success was due to the
fine, cool weather and the untiring
work of the committees having charge
of the various features of the cele-
bration. Led by w. A. Crank, presi-
dent of the Boost club, the general
committee has been working for
weeks upon the celebration and their
reward lies in the fact that they pull
ed off celebration that was enjoy
able and a credit to the city.

Circumstances of the Service.

Pittsfield, Mass, July 5.-The cap
ture of John d. Rockefeller by Depu-
ty United States Marshal Charles L.
Frink, yesterday was due to a simple
ruse employed by the marshal. When
told by E. Parmelee Prentice. the oil
kings son-in-law, yesterday morning
that the aged Croesus was not at his
home the marshal apparently gave up
the chase and left the vicinity. He.
however, returned later, and quietly
driving up to the house surprised Mr..
Rockefeller summing himself on the
piazza and served him with the sum-
mons, issued from Judge Landis'
court, before the aged millionaire
could make his escape.
After accepting service. according
to the deputy marshal, Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter explained that he had not been en-
deavoring to dodge service, but that
he did not know exactly what was
wanted of him.
As Mr.. Frink drove out of the wood
ed driveway into the open space in
front of the house he saw a man on
the piazza whom he recognized as Mr..
Rockefeller from his published like
ness. As Mr.. Frink mounted the steps
so quickly that before Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter could rise he was standing before
the old man, he said:
rs this Mr.. Rockefeller"
Inc old man looked at Mr..
Frink's six feet three inches. and with
II sickly smile replied in the affirm
ative.
Il have summons for you. sir"
and Mr. Frink handed him the papers.
MIR. Rockefeller took them. glanced
al them carelessly, and said;
81 had hoped to avoid this trip to
Chicago just now, but suppose 1 shall
nave to go. l have avoided the mar
shals, as l hoped that my ATTORNEYS
could secure a modification of the
order compelling me to appear in Chi
cago. but" and the old man smiled
81 see you are not a mar
shall to be avoided
Mr.. Rockefeller accepted the serv-
zee in good-natured yay. Mr.. Prem
lice handed the marshal a cigar and
the three had a social chat of Is min
ites.
1t is stated that Mr.. Rockefeller
VIII remain at Taconic Lodge until
his evening, when he will take a fast
rain wor Chicagd.
Mr.. Prentice offered last Saturday
o pay $50,000 to any one who would
discover Mr. Rockefeller at his, Prem
ices home, as Mr.. Prentice denied
hat his father-in-law was there.
There is much speculation now as to-
Whether he will pay the marshal the
$4,000.

PendletOn Played Ball.
To add to the general pleasure of
the day Pendleton won the ball game
yesterday and by doing so the team
covered itself with glory. for II was
one of the best games Of the season
and the soldier team had defeated the
Walla Walla nine last Sunday.
When the game was called at
o'clock the Matlock ground was filled
almost to the limit and the game was
watched with much interest. In the
first inning the visiting team made
three runs and 1t seemed as though
the "hoodoo" that had followed the
local team earlier in the season was
still with It. However, the score was
evened up soon afterwards and at the
opening of the seventh inning 1t stood
to 6. 1t was then that the Pendle-
ton boys warmed to the game and
with Kehm pitching in whirlwind
form, three more runs We're added to
the Pendleton list and the game was
won. At the close of the first half of
the ninth the score stood to and
