the fact that same banks now will

ing &c interest on 100000. He
promised in that issue to attend the
trial and give further particulars of
the splendid and heroic work of the
Board of County Commissioners in
the interest of public economy. He
did attend the trial and there he
heard the County Commissioners
bond expert testify on cross exami-
nation that the county under the
serial bond issued would have the use
of 100000 for 121a years at cost
to the county of $152,500; that un-

the county would have the use of the

Pete MARION SOLVES
DAIRY MYSTERY
After Weeks of Mental Agony En-
gendcred By Peculiar Behavior of
His Bossies, Pete Discovers What
Becomes of the Lacteal.

The following sensational story
appearing in the columns of the
Butte Saturday Pink, under date of
April 17th, chronicles how Dairyman
Marion discovered what was the
cause of the remarkable falling off
of milk on the part of his bossies.
The discovery is claimed to have
added considerable to the sum total
of scientific knowledge.
The telegram follows:
"Peter Marion, dairyman whose
farm two miles south of Plentywood
borders on the Big Muddy, has dis
covered the reasons for serious fall
ing off in the milk supply his cows
were giving. For the last month
some of the heifers would come
through with only a quart of milk
each evening, and others of them
were completely dry for no apparent
reason.
While inspecting his herds along
the creek yesterday, Pete at dis
tance noticed peculiar wiggling OBJ
jects hanging from the udders of
COWS which were standing in the
water. Closer inspection disclosed
the fact that the objects were fish
The astonished dairyman watched
from secluded spot. AS the cows
milled around in the water the fish
would spring from the stream ant
seizing the udders hang on while
drawing the milk. Marion got a roe
and line and caught a few of th'
fish. He brought them to Plenty
wood to be assayed and was informe'
they were suckers"
