fries. Wednesday, because Tony Soda.
an Italian, fell back on the shy Italian
habit OF refusing TO talk English when
any Importance might attach to the
remarks.
Patrolmen Raymond and Cary, who
had been ordered 10 watch the Gin
ton-st. place on account OF complaints
from the neighbors, testified that they
had seen the two colored women stop
five different men before Tony went
into the house.
But the women emphatically denied
the statements OF the officers. and
Tony, when questioned, shrugged his
shoulders and returned a baby stare.
The Judge refused to take the officers
testimony without confederation, In
English, from Tony. as they declared
that he had told them of what tran
spired in the house.
Tony's ignorance of English was
plainly feigned. but Justice .Jeffries
ruled that If Tony could tell the DO
licemen what had happened he could
also tell the court, and he discharged
the women.

short, who stepped out of an alley
and ordered him to halt. He took
couple OF steps back. and again the
command was given to halt. This
time he halted and the tall man step
ped in front OF him. Schultz had

the car came alcng. The men step
ped into the shadow TO avoid being
seen from the car. and Schultz STEP
ped by them and hurried home.
He reported the matter TO the po-
lice, but was able to give only

was while she lay in the ditch that

Future Of Dakota CattIemen

A Dakota cattleman, to a Chica-
60 stock yards man, would mean a
man who runs thousands of cattle
on the prairie ranges of the trans
Missouri territory. In the past the
big Dakota and Montana cattleman
has played an important part in
the stock yards history.
He is still doing so, but to a
greatly lessened extent. During the
past three or four years he has
been obliged to curtaiI his opera
tions on account of the constant
encroachment of the homesteade'
upon his rangers. He has cut down
his herds and has been forced to
market much of his immature and
female stuff. He has done SO be-
grudgingly and has prophesied all
sorts of want and woe for the new
settler.
He knows in his own mind. that
that country can never support a
population of small farmers; at
least he says SO, and maintains
that he is only resting on his oars
till dry years and hard fate drives
out the homesteader and the range
becomes once more the feeding
grounds for his thousands of cattle.
But the big cattleman is mistaken.
The great free ranges are soon to
be things of the past. Their com
plete history will soon be written
and an era of small farms and
