$4,000 Worth of Steers Stolen,

Billings.-What is said to be one of
the largest wholesale thefts of cattle
in the history of the stock business in
Wyoming has jus, been made public.
According to a report from the Ten
Sleep country, approximately 500
steers, valued at more than $4,000,
have been driven from the ranges, and
all efforts to locate them have proved
unavailing. AS far as can be ascer-
tanned, the animals were stolen by
rustlers last summer and in the early
autumn, and were not missed until the
annual roundup was completed. Even
then the matter was not made public,
but experienced cattlemen We're put to
work, and it is said that clue has
been secured from forest rangers
which will likely result in sensational
developments.

LARGE Irritation Project,

Billings. $500 Apparently not content
with results obtaining from the Guilt
walton of lands by scientific dry farm
ing methods, notwithstanding the fact
that the crops OF this year have been
exceptionally excellent, arrangements
are being made in the Musselshell
country in the vicinity of Ryegate for
the reclamation of a large tract of
land through irrigation with the water
to be supplied by huge reservoirs.
The plan provides for the diverting of
the flood waters of the Musselshell
river into Dead Mans basin, which is
short distance from the new town Of
Barber, and to accomplish this ditch
must be run from the river for dis
lance of several miles. In addition to
this the waters from Careless creek
will be run into an immense dry lake
basin which is located about three
miles from Ryegate, and it is esti-
mated that the total supply thus stored
will be sufficient to irrigate fully 75,-
600 acres during the entire season.

Tho Train Wrecker.

The butcher, entering the Oh.
lervation Room, found only a loving
couple. He took in at a glance their
desire for solitude. A large part of
his business was the forcing OF wares
on people who did not want them.
Has voice and his method suggested
the mosquito. Seeing Mallory and
Marjwrie mutually absorbed in read
ing each others eyes, and evidently
in nesd of nothing on earth less than
something else to read, the train
butcher decided that his best plan OF
attack was to make himself nuis-
ance. 1t Is plan successfully adopt
ed by organ-grinders, street pianists
and other blackmailers under the
guise OF art, who have nothing so
welcome to sell as their absence.

train boys hum, but they tried to ig-

glance at her own borrowed plumage:

congo by resuming her chat with NAL

The train-boy went right on auc-
tioniag his papers and magazines,

prey. And they went right on talking
