HE LEADS A LONELY LIFE
SHEEP HERDER'S ONLY CONIPAN-
IONS HIS FLOCKS AND DOGS.

Something of His Life on the Great
Ranges of Montana and Wyoming.
$4,000 Sheep on Some Ranches.
All farms of so acres and up
ought to have small flock of sheep.
When fenced for them there is little
expense in keeping them, as they eat
mostly what would be wasted by the
other stock. They kill out the weeds
and bring in money for the wool at
a time when the FARMER usually has
little else to turn into money.
Nearly all the wool raised in the
United States east of the Missouri
river is medium wool This is be-
cause the best mutton sheep are of
this class. The Ohio, Kentucky and
Indiana woods bring the highest
price; they are cleaner and conse-
quently shrink less and are mostly
staple woods.
Woods from the above sections and
nelghboring states are called bright
woods; those from western Minneso-
ia, western Iowa, the Dakotas and
eastern Nebraska and Kansas are
called semi-bright
The range woods are usually
know as western wool, and are
quoted generally by the name of the
states in which they are raised, such
as Montana, Oregon, Colorado or
Utah woods. They all have charac-
teristics that distinguish them, ow-
ing to the soil, climate and the
range conditions.
The range woods are much better
than a dozen years ago, because the
sheep men have been steadily grad
ing up their f1ocks with the best
blood that could be secured, regard
less of price. The result is that their
woods are bringing nearly if not quite
as much as the eastern or bright
woods of the same grades.
Some of the wool growers of Mon
tana and Wyoming own or control
10000 to 100000 sheep. Frequent
ly these big f1ocks are divided up into
half dozen fiOcks in the hands Of
share men, who care for the sheep
for share of the wool and lambs.
Except in Landing time the sheep
are divided into bands of about g.
600, each band in care of a herder.
During the summer the mountains
make the best range, such as the Big
Horn mountains of Wyoming. In
the winter When there is some snow
on the ground lots of ranges can be
used that at other times are useless
on account of no water.
The sheep herder's life is a very
lonely one. He is provided with a
covered wagon, which is hauled out
on the range, where he is left with
his sheep and perhaps a dog or two
and provisions for a couple of weeks.
His duties consist of following and
watching the band as they feed out
(frOm the bed ground around the
wagon in the morning until about
noon, when they lie down, rest and
chew their cuds. About o'clock he
gets them up and starts them back
SO as to Craze back to the bed
grounds for the night. In about two
weeks the camp mover comes around
and moves him three or four miles
to another bed ground.
When snearing time comes the
bands are driven up to some favora-
BILE spot in turn and shorn. Often
times this takes place on the open
prairie. The wool is sacked and
piled up and sometimes lies there
uncovered for month before it is
hauled, in some cases 81 to rs miles,
to the railroad.

KETCHELL WINS
OVER O'BRIEN
philadelphia Jack" Knock
ed Out in Tenth Round
Of Fast Fight
BY United Press Leased Special Wire.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, Mach 27-Stanley
Ketchell made his debut into New
York's fighting society last night, and
to-day the mantle of victory rests on
his shoulders. The niddleweight
champion knocked out philadelphia
Jack" OBrien in the tenth round Of
their fight last night-but technically
the Montana lad is not credited with
the honor, because the final bell rang
While the Quaker City fighter. the hero
of hundreds of battles, was lying
prone on his back. oblivious to all his
surroundings. 1t was fit ending TO
one of the best and most vicious fights
ever seen in this city.
1t was the master boxer against a
fghter-and the fighter won.
To-day Ketchell is hanled as the
greatest living fighter of the age, and
his friends say that he is as good as
Jim Jeffries was in his palmy days.
There was a wido difference between
the style of the two men. O'Brien
was the boxer. he would jab and jump
away; he would jab again and then
clnch. but the Montana lad would not
be denied.
n .
but still the champion came back in
his awkward style, and he landed on
O'Brien time and again. There was
force, too, behind his blows. He made
his adversary vince. He had him
breathing hard. and he gradually wore
him down until the final punch came,
But to O'Brien's credit it must be
said that he he fought throughout the
ten rounds. There was none of the
stalling so characteristic of him in this
/ fight. Several times he stood toe tc
toe and exchanged punches with the
hard-hitting champion, and that hi:
punches had some power behind them
was manifested by the claret that was
streaming from Ketchelrs face. But
the latter was a bulldog for punish
ment. He was hurt, but not huri
enough to prevent him from keeping
after his opponent
To-day O'Brien, while not taking any
credit from his opponent, is looking af
ter another match. The Quaker Cit,
fighter said that he needs a fight o
two to get him on edge and believes
that he can turn the tables. But it i
the losers whine.
Ketchell to-day is enjoying the fruit
of his victory. He said O'Brien wal
the fastest man he ever met, but h
was sure that he was his master at al
times. Ketchell said he looked bad a
times but never was in any danger.

REFUND OF FEES
FOR SALOON MEN.

Clerk Of the Peace Brown today re-
ceived notification of the passage of
the bill by the Legislature to refund
to the saloonkeepers excess license fees
paid. Those whose licenses were
granted in May 1907 found that the
May term of court was disbanded and
that their license would expire before
the June term.
Accordingly the saloo~ men applied
at the March term OF court and in that
way paid about $50 in excess of the
fees for one year. In addition to the
liquor license money there was in eacf
case about S425 that was paid twice
in tho annual special license of $25.
Clerk Of the Peace Brown will pre-
pare certificates for the saloon keepers
showing that they had paid such IL
cense and these certificates will bt
honored by the State Treasurer for the
amendment paid.
