ELKS STARVE in
NATIONAL PARK
OLD FRoNTIERsMAN CALLS UPON
THE AUTHORITIES TO SAVE
MONTANA HERDS.

Billings, Mont, March I4.-That pro-
visions should be made at once to take
care of the thousands Of elk which are
literally starving to death I'm and about
the Yellowstone national park is the
opinion OF Dave Jones. erstwhiie front
iersman. Indian fighter and guide, who
has just returned from Corwin
Springs.
He declares that hundreds of the
animals nave already persisted and that
the greater number of those remaining
are in such weakened condition that
their ranks will be decimated unless
steps for relief are taken without de-
lay.
1T is truly pitiable to see the condi-
tion Of these noble animals" said the
old plainsman. MANY of the animals
are so weak from the lack of nourish-
ment that when they lie down they are
unable to get up again.
I'm several instances our party as
sisted the animals to get on their feet.
and, instead of being frightened, they
seemed to realize that we were their
friends and made not the slightest eff
fort to get out Of the way. The young
elk are suffering the worst, and the
fawns are so tame that they followed
us about like domestic animals and
even came up and licked our hands.
Jones is OF the opinion that much of
the difficulty has resulted from the
practice of feeding the elk, for they
have become accustomed to depending
upon the hay supplied by the stockmen,
and like domestic animals are not now
disposed to shift for themselves, as
formerly. He says that in going along
the Yellowstone a distance of about
twenty miles he counted the bodies OF
100 dead elk on one side of the stream.

JUDGE POLLOCK
IS AFFIRMED
SUIT HEARD IN THE DISTRICT
COURT AND TAKEN UP TO THE
SUPREME COURT, IS AGAIN DE-
clDED FOR THE DEFENDANT
KANE VS.. SHERMAN.

Word was received in Fargo this
morning that the supreme court of
North Dakota had again affirmed
Judge Pollock of the Third judicial
district court, in giving a decision for
the defendant In the case of Arthur
Kane VS.. Sidney F.. Sherman.
At the November term of the dis
trict court in 1908, Kane, who was a
real estate broker in Fargo, brought
suit against Sherman for the sum OF
$2,146.50. His attorneys were Turner
e. Murphy and the case was heard
before Judge Pollock Dec. Is of the
same year
In the complaint Kane said that he
mad contract with Sherman to sell
2,1461s acres of Cass county land
which belonged TO Sherman, or to
trade the tract for property in st.
Paul or Minneapolis. The complaint
said that Kane did this, and traded
the piece of earth for property in the
twin cities. The plaintifE further al
legged that the defendant would not
then cay him the sum asked for as A.
commission for trading the land, 81
per acre.
In the answer OF the defendant,
through his attorney. r. NJ. Pollock,
he denied all the allegations of Kane,
and further stated that he had never
entered into any contract with Kane
regarding the disposal of the prop
erty.
The case was heard before jury
and the Jury sustained Sherman In
his answer and awarded him the ver-
dict. Then Kane appealed to the SUI
preme court with the same result.
