Freda Bauer, aged 16, daughter of
Conrad Bauer, rancher living
twelve miles east of Billings, was
abducted few nights ago at the
point of revolvers by two masked

Bauer accuses two ranch hands,
both lovers of the girl, who have

cleverly effected. The men rode up
to the ranch, called Bauer out and
covered him. Mrs. Bauer ran,
screaming down the road to a neigh
boris. Shortly afterward the men
rode off. When Mrs. Bauer returned
the girl was gone spirited from the
rear of the house. evidently by a
third member of the party.

BANKS CHECK
CANADIAN BOOM


OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 17.-The
Canadian northwest with over $780,
900, 900 in sight for it's golden grain,
is tied hand and foot for the moment
by the attitude of the dominion gov
ernment. Formerly western retailers
enjoyed fair amount of credit. They
took their notes to the banks, had
them discounted and remitted and
sent the cash east to pay the whole
salers. At that time the banks car
ried the risk and the eastern whole
salers were enjoying good times. But
the bankers saw way to administer
a wholesome check to this.
Retailers were given to understand
that their notes would have to pass
through the hands of eastern houses.
That means that the notes were sent
to Toronto and Montreal. They then
we're discounted by the wholesalers,
who have had to assume the risk, so
that now while the banks furnish the
money, the eastern wholesalers are
carrying the western retailers.
The west teens with its abundant
harvest, but until it is cut and sold,
trade will be slow The remarkable
fact is noted that at the very dawn
of the new era of prosperity, collec-
tions are slower than at any time
since the financial depression of a
year ago.
