FIRST SHOPMENT
Of LIVE STOCK
800 POWDER RIVER co. CATTLE
TO BE LOADED AT MOOR
(. CROFT AUGUST 25

The first shipment of cattle to be
made to market from Powder River
county will be loaded at Moorcroft,
Wyo., ON the Burlington railroad and
will comprise upwards of 800 head.
They are in the best of conditions.
and will probably bring top-notch
prices.
Ord Ames has canyassed the Miz-
pah and Doyle creek districts and has
been promised 800 head to ship to
market. He charges $3 a head for
gathering them. Any others who de-
sire to make shipments at this time
should address him at Pinto. Mr..
Ames is very optimistic over the
market conditions and believe they
will be at their height about the
time the cattle arrives at their des-
tination. 1t is assumed the cattle go
to South Omaha. Mr.. Ames /recites
the fact that last year stock that
were sold in August brought about
twice the money for stock of the
same quality sold in November.
Mr.. Ames himself wintered as
head of stock at Pinto last winter
and only lost one calf. He took the
stock through the winter with min
imum OF expense, only feeding 500
pounds of oats.

CARMICHAEL GUILTY OF
MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE

Herschel Carmichael, alleged slay-
er of Amer Peterson on May %,
1920. near Jordan, was found guilty
of first degree murder at Jordan be-
fore Judge Dousman. A sentence Of
either life Imprisonment or death
penalty was left to the discretion Of
the court.
The trial lasted ten days and SEN
sational developments occurred with
the Introduction OF a revolver by the
defense which was said to have bee
found buried in prairie dog hole
near the spot where Peterson was
shot. The evidence of the revolver
was used to strengthen the plea Of
self-defense by Carmichaels attor-
neys. The state laid stress ON the
testimony tending to prove that Car
michael was the aggressor.

NOT MUCH MONEY TO SHEEP
SHEARING, AFTER ALI.

William Hannify has returned to
his home at Epsie after shearing
sheep around Billings and in South
Dakota. Other shearers of this coun-
ty to return home from the shearing
in South Dakota are Sam
Smith of Olive, Bryce Johnson OF
Olive and Charles Wise of Pinto. As
high as 20 cents mead was paid
for shearing sheep around Billings,
while in South Dakota I'll. cents a
head was paid. Sheep shearing is
not such profitable vocation as
many people imagine, says MI Han
nifty. After deducting transportation
charges and layovers with hotel and
restaurant bills, the money earned
soon vanishes.
