Two large forest fires are burning
fiercely west of Saltese and force of

a large area of fine timber will be de-
stroyed before the fires can be sub
dued. Supervisor Koch of the forest

The wool sales made in Billings
show conclusively the wisdom of the
growers who refused to accept the
price offered during the beginning of
the season, and by holding their clips
they have profited accordingly. Prices
ranged from 1910 to 1890. The price
last mentioned is said to be the high
est paid for wool this season in Bill
lings. The big clips, those of Herman
Lehfeldt and ohm H. Schroeder, are
not yet disposed of.
The assessed valuation of Fergus
county, as reported by the assessor, is
over $1O,OOO,OOO, gain of 81 900, 900
over last year. Cattle show a falling
off and it is expected that, with the
rapid settlement, due chiefly to the
coming of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul and the Billings & Northern,
the gain in this class of property will
be even more marked this year.
Six woolbuyers, representing big
Boston houses, are at Lewistown look
ing for wool; buyers and sellers can
not agree as to prices. The woolgrow-
ers insist that the best of the Judith
basin clip should bring Is cents a
pound. 1t is estimated that about half
the clip of the state, something like
$15,000,00 pounds, has now been sold.
All wool goes INHALED this season, for
the first time in years.

CHINESETRYSUICIOE
WERE SAILORS UNDER VERY
BRUTAL CAPTAIN.
For Eight Months They Worked With
out Pay-Treated Like Dogs, They
Tried to Escape-Two Were Drown
ed-Rather Die Than Go Back to
Sea With the Cruel Captain.

. Death followed mutiny Saturday on
the ship Straphyre of Glasgow, when
II of her Chinese crew, driven to des-
peration by the brutalities of Captain
John Gum, attempted suicide by
drowning in the Erie basin, near New
York, where the ship lies. Two people
persisted.
The Chinese's story of maltreatment
is like yarn of the olden days when
the bosun's cat" and the captains
marlinspike were more used than now
to keep order before the mast. Shipped
at Shanghai II months ago, the crew
say they have not had a dollar of pay
nothing but blows and abuse since
that day, their eight months contract
having expired, and they sought to
leave the ship they describe as a living
hell.
When the Straphyre arrived in New
York and was laid up in Erie basin the
trouble began. One and all of the
Chinese demanded their wages and
they were refused. Then they desert.
ed. They leaped the bulwarks and,
trembling with fear, ran down the
wharf amid hail of bullets from the
Waterman. Then the police clubs
came into play and the Chinese were
driven back to the vessel. Then came
the Chinese consular ENJOYS in the
port. They heard their countrymen' S
story and they could do nothing be-
yond advising them to remain aboard
until the courts could settle their
claims.
But the II months of no pay and
the alleged vengeance of the captain
on their return drove the already des-
perate Chinese to madness.
AS evening fell the Straphyre, with
cargo of coal for the United States
warship fleet in the Pacific, started
to pull out of the Erie basin for Sa.
moa, the crisis came and from a doz.
en- places on the lower decks the mad
dened crew leaped into the sea.
Within minute police patrol boats
and life savers were at the work OF
rescue. Struggling and moaning, nine
of the Chinese were dragged out OF
the water, all trying desperately to
hold their heads beneath the surface
and obtain the relief they sought in
death.
Two of the crew fought the police
like wildcats and, though twice nearly
rescued, tore loose from their cap
tors and persisted.
OF the Chinese saved, some were
nearly exhausted, and as they were
dragged aboard the police launch were
laid out in a row, while the water
was worked out of their bodies by
the .bluecoats. One and all declared
they would sooner die than take the
same trip aboard the Straphyre, and
that were they forced to do so every
one of the crew would destroy him,
self before the vessel was "a hours
at sea.
