Is Captured Then Liberated

A lone buck deer was een sour
ryino across a field at the s. j.
Redden farm, seven miles north
east Of Plentywood Monday about
noon. Tho buck casually jumped
a high fence and went south, 90
ing through a pasture at tho Har-
ry Godfrey farm, Mr.. Redden told
the Herald.
Deer arc extremely scarce and
seldom seen In Sheridan county.
A few however, are believed to In
habit the brush country In the Ar
cher vicinity.
Whore the antIered fellow seen
Monday came from would be hard
to determine. II 10 probable that
he wondered away from the Mis-
sourI river bottoms near culbert-
son, where deer abound, and he
may have been the same buck
seer In the Comertown vicinity
several weeks ago.
The buck was In a hurry to get
some place, however, Mr. Redden
said he did not believe he had
been or wal being chased.
Word reached PIentywood Tues
day that the deer had nun amuck
In the Daomar country. Sighted
there . group Of men surrounded
the buck and succeeded In getting
a rope around his neck. He wal
a big, anteIered fellow, and from
reports put up q grand battle for
his freedom. He was later turned
loose.

Sheridan Will Have Fair In September
NUMBER OF R IN
A is ON

Farms In Montana, numbering
50,562. as Of January l, 1885, have
increased 3,O67 units during the past
five years, showing an increased
acreage amounting to 2~.S76,966 ac-
res, with a grand total OF 47,586,118
acres, according to the preliminary
tabnlation from the 1895 Census of
Agriculture just issued by the Bur
a OF the Census, Department Of
Commerce. While farm acreage
shows this substantial increase the
value OF farms, including land and
buildings has shown an astonishing
decrease OF $~151,574.747 from the to-
tai valuation amounting to $527 1870
002 as OF April /, 1885, according to
John r. Wheeler, district manager
Of the Bureau Of Foreign and Dom
este Commerce in Seattle. How
ever, he points out that while this
loss throughout the State seems al
most inconceivable, upon the face
OF the figures, still, 1t is but com.
parable to that of farm losses sus-
tanned by other states, and in many
other lines of endeavor.
Decrease OF farm units In II coun-
ties range from m each in Dawson
and WSbaux counties to IS in Nc
Gone, while the decrease of farm
land acreage in the 8 counties reg
istering a decrease shows that the
decrease ranges from 1914 acres In
Daniels County to 570,,175 acres In
Big Horn.
While Fergus county registered q
decrease OF IA farm units in the
five-year period covering the census
it still leads the other counties with
1899 units, showing an increased
acreage OF 200. 739 acres, but a de
creased valuation OF land and build
ings amounting to $1~0,511,315; a de
crease amounting to almost 20 PEI

'FERA SPENDS over
s Million IN PERIOD
FOR AID in State
Administrative Costs Low
For Big Sums Doled
First Half 1885

That the cost for administration of
relief was negligible in comparison
to the percentage OF expended relief
monies which went directly to Mol-
tana's destitute during the first half
Of 1885, was today revealed In a re-
port released by William Ruffcorn,
State Relief Administrator.
Emphasis was placed on the fact
that of a grand total OF $6,416, 1880
expended by the State Relief Com
mission, s4~,732,380.33, or 1873 per
cent was directly received by relief
beneficiaries either as work relief
wages Or grants OF the necessities OF
life, from January / to July l, 1885.
I'm spite Of occasional rumOrs and
some reports to the contrary" the
| State Administration pointed out,
at has cost the State Relief Com
mission but 1891, 912-17, or 81 pei
/ cent OF the total expenditure to oper'
| ate the Helena office and its at
tached personnel, during this time
Maintenance of a minimum field
organization, charged with expedite
ously and efficiently contracting and
caring for practically one person out
OF every five in the state, which Is
the present relief equation, must In
clude competent offices and employ
ees in each of our 56 counties and
seven Indian Agencies"
sAlthough Montana is an excep-
tionally vast State" cost of county
and Indian Agency administration
the report discloses, was but $463,
048.57, or IL per cent. This, witt
St&te Administrative expenditures
makes. a composite administrative
expense for the entire State of 1874,
960.74.
This figure-12.3 per cent OF the
total relief expenditure, is not only
well IN line, but for the most par
lower than the national average, III

culiar to a large land area and {
small scattered population" the re

CHIEF PASSES:
ARMS PARLEY
END FEARED

LONDON, Oct. 81 (U.P)-Death OF
the Geneva Disarmament Confer
ence was feared today with the pass
ing OF Arthur Henderson, its presi-
dent and one of the worlds most
untiring workers for peace
Henderson, 70, died at the London
Clinic Nursing Home yesterday after
a long illness without knowing of
1taly'S East African aggression, which
he had been confident the League of
Nations would prevent.
News Suppressed
He underwent an operation Sept.
% for gall stones and stomach trou-
BILE. When his recovery appeared low
his physicians ordered that all ac-
counts of the Ethiopian con-
flict be kept from him.
Peace workers throughout the
world mourned Henderson's death.
He worked unselfishly and tirelessly
IN his last years to abolish war. It
was only through his diligence and
persuasive persistence that the dis
armament conference was kept alive,
many diplomats believe. Now they
fear that the conference will follow
Its honest, impartial champion to
the grave.
Henderson suffered agonizing pain
during his last sessions in the dis
armament conference from the all
ments that brought his death, but he
gave no sign of it. He continued to
work long hours in hope of achiev-
ing disarmament agreement.
