There was the Trimble gang-ten

for the Gray Mule. Then they got
past the range of my sight, but we
heard 'em ride up to the front door,
and then they soaked the place full Of
lead. We heard the big 1ooking-glass
behind the bar knocked all to pieces
and the bottles crashing. We could
see Gotch-eared Mike in his apron run
ming across the plaza like coyote,
with the bullets putting up the dust
all around him. Then the gang went
to work in the saloon, drinking what
they wanted and smashing what they
didn't.

and they knew us. The year before
Perry married, him and me was In the

A SOUTH DAKOTA CONCERN.
MorrelI Packing Company Of Sioux
Falls is a Home Institution

In the advertising columns Of the
Register there appears the bid for
patronage of the Morrell Packing
company of Sioux Falls. This is n
of the new industries Of the state,
and is one Of the biggest concerns Of
South Dakota and one of the biggest
of it's kind in America. The Morrell
company is a home institution, 1t
buys the raw products Of the Dakota
farmers and manufacturers them here,
it employees many hundred South Da-
kota people and helps support the
state and the community in which it
IS located. Their bid for the patron
age of the people is warranted.
The present capacity of the plant is
$500 hogs and 400 cattle per week
in the summer, and in the winter the
capacity will be almost doubled. The
product is shipped to all parts Of the
United States and England, finding a
ready market because of the splendid
reputation the Morrell organization
enjoys all over the world as high
grade packers of pork and other meat.
1t is natural that the people Of the
state should take pride in the know
ledge that products made within its
boundaries are being sent to all parts
of the civilized world for consump-
ton by the people Of every cline. The
Morrell company already have a large
local trade and their products are
winning favor daily.

ICE MAY GO STILL HIGHER
Increase Made May and Another Ex-
pected Next Month.
ICE NOW COMING FROM IOWA
Early summer Makes Big InrOads on
the Small Crop which the Local
Dealers Were Able to Put
Up Last Winter.

In connection with the report from the
health department that natural ice being
sold In Omaha Is OF inferior quality, re-
ports yesterday were that the second in
crease in price this season will be put into
effect about July Is.
Since the season opened in earnest May
l, the commodity has been selling for %
per cent more than 1t did last summer. A
thousand-pound book, which could have
been bought last year for 49, this year is
selling at So. The increases by all the ice
companies we're simultaneous.
A further increase of 20 per cent is being
considered, one dealer asserted. A thous-
and-pound book will then sell for S.
Probabilities of this rise were denied by
some dealers
The present prices and the probability of
further increase indicate situation In the
Ice market that the consumer has not
faced for years. -.
Dallisnce in putting UP the crop last
winter on the part of the bigger concerns
resulted in a shortage that is unprece-
denied in the history OF the city. This was
the way a dealer explained the situation
The open winter caused the harvesters to
delay, and the early summer made big
inroads on the small stocks. Shipments
from Iowa points already are being relied
upon to supply the city trade.
