A thoroughbred Ayrshire bull,
the property of George e. Beam,
vent on rampage Monday morning
that cost him his life aud came near
ly resulting in the serious injury
of Phillip Little, son of William
Little.
The bull, three year old, was be-
ing taken to Mr.. Little's farm. He
had ring in his nose and rope
about his horns, and Phil Little
undertook to lead him. The young
mans father walked behind and
when reaching point on east mill
street the latter stopped to talk
with a neighbour and the young man
went on with the bull. A few
minutes later the bull was seen COM
ing back toward town. The animal
was fettered in the front feet which
hindered his progress somewhat,
but he swept on past William Little
when he tried to stop him, and had
reached point near the side track
crossing of the South Shore when he
fell dead.
Henry O'Brien, an old resident of
Iron River, met with serious ac-
cident late Tuesday afternoon. He
was building fence near his resi-
dence and stepping back one foot
went down in post hole and as he
fell backward the leg was twisted
so badly that the ligaments were
broken.
T. f. Mackmiller returned Tues
day evening from Texas, where he
spent about ten days on business.
He visited Houston and other points
while away, and looked after some
of his property interests in that
vicinity.
Harvey Fox on Monday caught q
rainbow trout in the Hill Creek
which measured ~ inches in length
and tipped the scales at four and
three-cuarter pounds. The giant
rainbow was caught near the upper
high trestle and local fishermen are
wondering how such large fish got
up the stream that far.
County Treasurer Froseth was
over from Washburn last Saturday
afternoon.
T. J. Little, who has suffered
more or less for several years with
rheumatism. is SIGH now in this city
and is under physicians care.

Prosperity is The Fall Outlook in Every
Line Of Business Throughout Southland

The prospect for fall business is
good. With a continued rise in the
price of cotton, and considering the
very low price at which this years
crop was made, it is expected that the
South will find herself in the best con-
dition during the past decade.
Of business conditions in this and
surrounding territory, Dun's Review
a paper issued by the Dun Mercantile
company, says:
Business in certain lines has in
creased slightly during the past few
weeks. Mail orders are more numer-
Gus, and there seems to be genera
feeling that conditions will improve
appreciably within the next 80 days.
Cotton has begun to move; oil mills
are preparing to begin operations,
which means that considerable money
will be put in circulation throughout
this section. Buyers are still very
conservative and place orders for sup
plies that will be Immediately consum-
ed by their retail trade. Retail demand
has been stimulated by special season
end sales, but the movement is consid-
erably below normal. Collections are
fair and compare favorably with last
year in proportion to the volume of
business transacted. Rain has been
general, though in some sections, il
came too late to be Of much benefit,
and in certain localities cotton produc-
ton will be light"
The following interviews are opin-
ions by two of Americas prominent
Wholesale men:
