Severe weather conditions are causing heavy losses of cattle and sheep in the northern Rocky Noun tain region, according to reports re- ceived by the forest service. Be- cause of unusually deep snow, conti1- ued storms and the late spring, the supply of feed in mos. of the region has been practically exhausted. Hay is now selling at $2O to $40 a ton and is almost impossible to get even at these prices.
 The loss of sheep in Wyoming Montana, Idaho, Utah, and Nevada will, it is feared, be unusually heav7. We'll posted stockmen estimate that it may reach 20 per cent. It is stated that the sheep are generally in poor condition and many of the bands which came through the winter with out losses are now beginning to sui fer. A light lamb ani wool crop is anticipated for the whole Rocky Mountain region.
 All indications are that the cattle men have been equally hard hit. In parts of Idaho, Montana, and W. ming unusually severe losses are 'n prospect. No reliable figures arc obtainable from northern Nevada and northern Utah, but all reports agree that the number of livestock will be greatly reduced in these sections also.
 The fact that supplies of grain and hay have been almost exhausted and the spring ranges are generally GOV cred by snow leads experience ] stockmen to fear that many more animals will die before the situation is relieved by warm weather. ln some regions the sncw is so de sr that hay can not be hauled to the starving stock except on hand-drawn sleds.
 These reports convey lesson to the growers and owners of llvestocS in the south, especially in the Pins Bluff country, and it is that they should not be in hurry to sell. Tho demand for cattle will increase, il all likelihood, and the farmers an- stock growers of this section have op- portunity such as they never before possessed to profit from the produc tion of livestock.

Verdict of Acquittsl in Circuit Court, After Jury Had Deliberated
 Matter About Six Hours.

A verdict of mot guilty" was re- turned at 10:30 o'clock last night by jury in the circuit court, in the case of James Leith, former constable of Dudley Lake township, whose trial on charge of murder had been be- fore the court since o'clock yester- day morning.
 The jury deliberated over the case about six hours in all, retiring about 4:3O o'clock in the afternoon. Rela- tives and many friends of the ac- cused remained constantly in the courthouse, awaiting the verdict
 Leith was indicted on charge of murder, following the killing of An drew Watson, former Pine Bluff resident, at Tucker in December last, when Leith went to the Watson home to arrest J. J. Watson, who was want ed for deserting from the United States army. Counsel for Leith based their defense on alleged inter- ference by the deceased, and intro duced testimony to show that defend- ant had fired only in self defense.

WAR TAXES.

The usual method of inflicting war taxes is unsatisfactory. The taxa ton of the necessities of life are onerous, especially in a time when the cost of necessities already are sky high.
 To the government will come the task of devising means of taxing the country in a way that will not un- load the heaviest part of such taxa ton on the shoulders of the poor, as is usually done.
 Great Britain has shown the way. Premier Asquith's government has Bot loaded taxes at Cne point and held them soft on the other, but has deviscd a system that forces every one to contribute according to his standard of life, wealth, or property.

CHAPTER XVII.
The Storm Breaks.

Young Doctor Elliott, lying prone on
his blanket on the hewn logs of the
floor Of Conrod's tavern, stirred uneas.
lily in his sleep. Outside, the artillery
Of the last thunderstorm of the autumn
rumbled and crashed above the steady
rush Of the rain. A hand fell upon the
latch and the door burst open before
the fury Of the wind. Elliott woke to
find the rain driving into his face. He
was about to rise to close the door
when the whole room was struck out OF
darkness by the dazzling blue of sheet
lightning. 1t was gone as instantly
as II came and the crash of thunder
which accompanied 1t drowned his cry.
In that single moment Of the binding
flash he had seen, outlined against the
shimmering sky, franied In the rec.
tangle OF the door, the dreadful figure
Of crouching Indian, knife In hand.
His limbs froze In horror. The room
was now as black as midnight, but his
eyes ached with the impress of the
lightning glare and the image that had
been struck into them. Still in the
pitch darkness he could see that sick.
ening face-dark. evil, its bloodshot
eyes peering maleyolently into the
room.
He heard the rain-soaked moccasins
OF the savage take two steps inward
Before he could cry out again, sec.
ond flash of lightning illumined the
room, and showed second man, tall,
pale with anger, his foot ON the thresh.
old.
I With the hoarse snarl of a wild
beast, the Indian leaped at the figure
In tho doorway. They grappled. In
the dai vness Elliott heard their quick
terrible breathing as they swayed in
struggle for life. A stool tripped
them and they fell, rolling against him.
Again the lightning fiared and he saw
the knife, dashed from the Indians
hand, lying beside him. The white
man was beneath, his face hidden by
the straining shoulders OF the savage.
Blindly Elliott seized the weapon and
struck with hysterical force.
The man beneath shook of the re-
laxed arms of the hldeous intruder and
rose unsteadily to his feet. Then he
laughed aloud In the darkness.
Il can't see who you are, friend" he
said. 'but you've certainly saved me
from close call"
Elliott made no answer. He was
sobbing weakly, his hand still clutch
ing the blood-stained knife. From the
upper room came the sound of voices
and the tavernkeeper came hurriedly
down the narrow ladder leading from
the loft, followed by the awakened
guests. Someone struck flint; eaGr
dies were lighted.
