LARGE CONTRACT
FOR FERGUS WOOL
FRED PUTNAM HAS SECURED
SEVERAL OF THE CHOICEST
CLIPS.

Fred Putnam, wool buyer for
HecIt, Lehman & Co., Of Boston,
left here last Saturday morning after
having contracted for about 100000
pounds OF Fergus county wool He
went only after the big clips and got
about all that he tried for, with pos
sibly one exception.
Among the clips secured by Mr..
Putnam are those of the Sage Creek
Sheep company, William Fergus &
Sons. Dimon Douglas, Fergus Land
& Livestock Company, w. H. Peck
and it is believed, J. D. Waite.
Mr.. Putnam followed out his usual
custom Of absolutely refusing to give
out the prices paid or any facts re-
lating to his deals. He is always
glad enough to avail himself of the
press when he desires to impress up
on the woolgrowers how completely
the bottom has dropped out of the
market but when it comes to giving
up anything pertaining to his trans
actions, he could give the mummy OF
Rameses II pointers on the subject
of silence
However, the Democrat is inform
ed from an absolutely reliable source
that the prices paid here by Mr.:
Putnam ranged from Is to IL IL
cents per pound. If the deal for the
Waite clip was closed, it was prob
ably for lS cents. Mr. Putnam has
also picked tip several Meagher coun-
tv cliDs.

Two men marched across the bal
