Lasoos Bird and Takes 1t Home

Jack Mathieson, Bad River range
rider Is in possession OF an immense
eagle, which measures eight feet from
tip to tip of its wings, which he cap
tured several days ago with the rope
which no range rider ever travels the
country without. While riding along.
Bad River he saw the bird evidently
asleep in small hole, and started his
horse toward it III a rapid run As.he
drew near, the bird aroused and starteu
to fly, but when it cleared the ground
the ever ready rope settled over it,
catching around its neck and under
one wing, with no possibility of its
getting loose. While it hampered by
the rope II put up fight before it was
finally tied so that it could do no harm.
Mathieson says he has used his rope to
catch about every kind Of animal to be
found out on the range country, but
this is the first time he ever attempted
to use it for catching Bird and has a
new record for the range riders to
equal in their work.

lect as nearly as possible fifty thousand

not likely that there will be any great
amount of the offerings of 1908 taken,

County Seat Contests.

The county seat fight is getting to an
acute stage down in Charles Mix coun-
ty Notwithstanding the fact that it il
almost a year before a vote can be
taken. Some of the contrasting towns
want the question put to the referer-
DUN in special primary election, the
commissioners to submit the question
at the general election to the town
which secures a majority of the refer
endum vote. Other toWns do not see
any benefit in this. They say the vote
would be useless expense, as the com
mlssioners could not act without the
submission of legal petition to them,
and that action would have to be taken,
regardless OF the primary vote. That
the vote if taken would in no way bind
the commissioners, as it would have no
legal standing, and a petition presented
by any other place in the county would
be what they would have to consider.
Up in Walworth county, where they
had general row and mix up in 1904.
the contending towns are getting busy

by and Java attempting to get the To-
cation away from Bangor, the vote was
SO divided that no one had a majority,
although Selby had more votes than
any other one place. The Selby boom.
ers took the records from Bangor by
force, and destroyed the old building
which had been used for years as q
county building I After a long fight In
the courts the boomers were compelled
to take the records back and the coun-
ty to construct a new building in which
( to place them. Both Java and Selby
are again getting busy, with Bangor, a
little inland point, playing one against
the other. Then Alaska, one of the
towns on the new line of railroad built
into that county last year, is beginning
to perk up, and announces that the
mere fact that it is only yearling is
no reason why they should not get into
the game, and have the county seat on
their line of road. Fl Bangor can keep
the three towns going, they will only
have to sit back and watch the show

Another Financial Scandal
New York World)

Wall street has discovered a great
and growing scandal 1t appears that
certain southern and western banks
have withdrawn their deposits from
che Wall street banks and are keeping
their money at home. They refuse to
send their reserves here for stock-gamb
ling purposes, and even Is per cent and
20 per cent call money rates do not
tempt them. Without other peoples
money Wall street will either have TO
stop gambling in stocks or gamble with
its own money.
Some of these western banks have
accumulated a reserve as high as 81
per cent. What a lack of consideration
when Wall street reserves are short.
Not only that, but these presumptuous
provincial banks are refusing stock ex-
change loans in order to discountleg
innate commercial paper. They actu-
ally loan their funds and credits to
ordinary business men in their owl,
neigbborhood, to pork packers, millers,
furniture makers, cotton pressers, and
