Senator Hurd is throwing his cattle
this week on the north side of the
Milk river to the range on the Por-
cupine.
Sheriff Dan Kyle returned from
Deer Lodge Wednesday where he has
been turning over the prisoners to
Conley & McTague, prison contract
ors, that were sentenced at the re-
cent term of the district court in
! this county.
An engine on freight train while
running about twenty miles an hour
near Kintyre, broke an axle near the
drive wheel and the wheel went scud-
ding off at scorcher gait across the
undulating prairie. The train and en-
gine were picked up Tuesday and
brought to Glasgow for repairs. No
one was injured
A crew of twenty-five California
sheep shearers are now in Malta, and
that town has assumed thriving ap-
pearance that will continue for sew
eral months. Every shearer averages
over 100 head day and the facilities
for shearing are 80 good that it has
induced large number Of sheepmen
to drive to that point this season. j.
B. Long is now on his way to Malta
with over $1,000 head to be sheared
and H. H. Nelson will have his sheep
sheared at the same place. Then
the large country ajacent that con-
tains many sheep will furnish to
Malta many more thousands Of sheep
for shearing.
The largest cattle deal that had
taken place in Montana for years
was closed last week in Chicago when
C. J. Mcnamara, of Big Sandy, pur-
chased the entire stock owned by the
Home Land & Cattle company, of
some 10000 or $1,000 head of cattle
and the consideration will run into
the hundreds of thousands Of dollars.
The range of these cattle is in Daw-
son and in Valley counties and they
will commence gathering them at
once. The cattle, it is understood
will be turned over at Oswego. They
will be shipped out very close and
the young stock not fit for market
will probably be driven to Choteau
county near Big Sandy. No ranch
property was included in the sale
so it is scarcely possible that the
cattle will be continued in this range
more than one year.
The cattle roundup near Malta this
year is an extensive one. The range
is being worked under the captaincy
of Bill Jaycox, of the Miner Live
Stock company, and companies like the
Pioneer, the Coburn, the Bear Paw
pool, the Milk river pool, the Nm,
the Bloom, undoubtedly the largest
of them all, are all interested. The
outfit comprises IA wagons, 80 riders,
and about 1900 head of cow horses.
The cattle are all being driven to their
several ranges. The Pioneer company,
owned by Kohrs & Bielenburg, is max
ing a final roundup preparatory to
removing their cattle to the north
western part of Choteau county and
into Teton county. The cattlemen
have been a little alarmed at the long
dry spell as the range was becoming
scar and the feed not over abundant.
The recent rains of this week have
again made them optimistic in their
views, however, and they now feel
that the beef crop will be good, and
fat beef will pour into Chicago from
Northern Montana ranges on sched-
ule time.
Bill Jaycox found real wild man
on the range about thirty miles from
Malta and equally distant from other
habitation the latter part Of last week
It don't take over a mile for the cow
boys to jump their horses within twine
