was due to the shock, as no water
was found in the lungs of either.
Billings, Aug. 2.-Thrown from his

Butte, Aug. 3.--Due to the wonder
full grain market and the high prices
which have been run up since the news

of Montana who will harvest a, record

100000 and $1z,0OO,OOO more than last
year, according to state official who
was in Butte yesterday. During the
early weeks OF July when the extent |
of the crop in Montana was known,
the prices were low because of the
poor demand in proportion to the sup
ply, but with the troubles which exist
between countries on the continent,
