Plenty of the Jury feel the same way

were more clubs. While this Is an open

are plenty OF ways In which the game

The fact is that clubs may come and

OF EXPERIENCES
SINGULAR CASE OF ROCK AND Rye

Long Escaped Butchers Block-Men
Who Used to Ride Before Days Of
Fences and Dry Land Farmers.

Roy E. Ayers, Mcntana's youngest
district Judge, is genuine ex-cowboy
but there are plenty of other men now
occupying official positions in this
state who once RODE the range. The
Judge was always "the kid with the
outfits and he was still good deal Of
a kid when he stopped riding and came
in to Lewistown to attend school, later
going east to college. He looks back
on those old days of the range with af-
fection and has a soft spot in his heart
for all the COW punchers. The other
day point came up in conversation
in the judges chambers that led him
to talk in reminiscent vein. This
followed upon the heels of some die
tation to Hal B. Gibson, the court
stencgrapher and as he was still pres
ent and became interested he took
down" Judge Ayers talk, Transcribed
it, and here it is just as it came from
the lips Of the Judge:
Yes, Doc, know l am slow in re-
lating to you any of my "reminiscences
OF the range, but this morning, in 60
ing through those of my belongings
which do not permit my wife, or any
other person, to handle, l ran across
my old forty-five still sticking in it's
scabbard and hanging on the same
belt that l used to wear when | was
on the range The belt won't go
around me now by about eight inches,
but the sight of it made we wish that
could buckle it on and climb to the
middle of cayuse and comfortably
seat myself in a fun flower stamped

Doc, for two reasons: First, l peddled
my Clarence Nelson" when l went
away to study law, and second, there
amt no horses like used to ride, and
if there were, there amt no range to
ride e mon. But, Doc, it made me re
member little incident that | know
you would enjoy.
In the Good Old Days.
1t was along in the early ninetieS
before Jim Hills or John Rockefeller's
iron horse had ever trespassed upon
Fergus county dirt. 1t was before the
dry-land farmer even in his most fan
tastic dreams, had ever thought Of
Fergus county: 1t was before barbed
wire had taken possession of the
streams, and before We thought that g
post hole would ever be dug upon the
benches. Yes, Doc, in those days thou
sands of cattle roamed the ranges o
Fergus county at will, and in that por
ton lying east of the Judith noun
tains browsed over the finest range
ever selected by the bovine. From the
Missouri river on the north to the Mus
selshell on the south, and even to the
land of the Crows, we gathered thu
finest range beef that ever decorated
the Chicago stock yards.

At that time the range was riddel

ers-but not of the class we sometime!
see now. No, they didn't come from
Montgomery Ward, nor were they o

knew no other home than the Gov

Great Northern railway to Seattle.
The hogs were all bought by X. p.
Nicholson, buyer for FRYE q Co., the
big packing firm at the coast city. The
hogs weighed total OF l54,35O lbs,
filled eight cars and made special
train. Their average weight was 100
pounds, which was much below pre-

many farmers wishing to cut down
their herds on account of the very
high price of feed Mr.. Nicholson said

hogs and stated that he would be back
