Beasts That Prey on Stock Are Being
Exterminated.
Stockmen and sheepmen north OF
Belle Fourche around the Cave Hills
country are well pleased with the re-
suit of the work of the Wolfing asso-
citation recently formed there. The
Expectations Of the animals became so
numerous that the stockmen banded
together and assessed each stockman
10 cents head for each COW or steer
and the sheepmen 10 cents for every
six head of sheep. This provided funds
sufficient to offer an attractive bounty
and resulted during the last month in
the killing of 165 coyotes, 20 grown
wolves and 35 wolf pups. 1t now is
planned to make the association per-
manent and to form similar organiza-
tons In each Of the cattle sections OF
that part Of the state.

COTTON WORE AWAY
A FEW POINTS
SmaIIiIrdnSdCtiORS Locally
on llII-SC Basis

Small net losses were recorded for
the cotton market yesterday, the only
exception being a slight gain for
March at New Orleans. The opening
was at moderate gains for other
positions, the market bullying to the
high point in the first hour. Narrow
fluctuations prevailed, with the ten
dency to lower levels. After the close
at New York, the New Orleans market
rallied a few points, except for the
month already named The early
strength was due to the covering of
scared shorts, but when the bull lead
er failed to support the market, the
movement fell fiat.
New York opened l to points high
er and soon increased the lead.
After the first hour the market grew
easier, though it was not until the
latter part of the session that the
net gains were entirely wiped out
The close was only a point or two
up from the worst, steady to points
below the final for Thursday, October
suffering most. Spot prices were un-
changed. New Orleans opened to IL
points up, March leading. The mar
ket acted in an irregular manner, with
narrow changes. The close was
point net higher for March, but to
3 points lower for later posi- tions.
Spot quotations were unchanged.
Liverpool opened generally a little
lower, but improved as the session
progressed. Near the close quite a
squirt occurred, prices at the finish
being quoted to points above the
last for the day before, the old crop
positions being in front. The market
is due to points down this morn
ing. Middling spots were reduced
points, the sales being 5000 bales
Locally a few small transactions
were reported in the better grades on
basis of II Is cents for good mid
ding, The offerings at this price were
entirely inadequate to supply the de-
mand Poorer grades were puchas-
able, but were not sought after. Quo
tations are unchanged from Friday

The blow which knocked out Corbett

From the earliest days of the ring the
