m"nia. from which he had been suf-
1erlng during the past two weeks.
During his illness he was confined to
the William Richard ranch home

friends will be- pleased to learn of his

Walter Hard purchased Il brown
cub bear from Tom Hutchinson. who
caught the animal at the head Of Hop
ley canyon in the Belts. The cub
weighs about forty pounds. and Wal

:, Fergus County Democrat: \ trip
over the great Louise creek bench
serves to convince one of the immense
scope Of the farming operations now
in progress out there. Steam and
gasoline blowing outfits have been
busy since the beginning of summer
turning over the sod and preparing
the ground for fall sowing. One
outfit alone, that Of Neil Mcdonald
and sons, has plowed up over six
thousand acres, III addition to pre-
pairing and sowing very large acre
age. Those who are in Il position to
Judge, estimate that there will be not
less than one million bushels of
wheat threshed i'm the vicinity of
M0ccasln and Benchland next fall if
the season is ut all favoroble. All
Of this ground has been properly
plowed, well worked up and the maj
or portion of the seeding has already
been done. The recent storms have
placed the ground in fine shape and
the grain will get Il fine start this fall.

mess of shoes, clothes and other
articles to be found in bachelor
quarters, he was greeted with Wig

naturally arousing Reds curiosity.
After lighting the lamp, rubbing his
bruised leg and making few com

viduals who deemed it proper to
stable COW in his apartments, he
proceeded to change the resting place
OF the member Of the bovine family.
Mr.. Folsom was justly angered ut the
