Mr. Reedy claims the distinc tion of being the first to bring thor oughbred cattle into the state. This was several years ago, and the herd which is now dispeised, is the result of these years of effort,"which in the main explains the fact cf the high prices.

Albert J. Moore, alias J. L. Ferguson, who was brought from Deadwood a day or two ago by United States Mar shal Seth Bullock, entered a plea of guilty to the charge of using the United States mails with intent to det'rand. Judge Carland sentenced him to a term of one and one half years in the penitentiary and imposed a fine of $100. Moore recently completed a term in the Montana penitentiary for raising a postofflce order, and immedi ately upon completing his term was re arrested aud turned over to the United States authorities of South Dakota. Moore appealed at Deadwood in 1905 and announced that he intended invest ing in mining enterprises. Shortly ai ter his arrival the postofflce authorities became suspicious of him, owing tu the volume of his mail. He received large nnmiters of letters under one of his aliases, addressed to him as presi dent or general manager of the Imper ial Globe Mining & Leasing company —a purely fictitious concern. The postofflce department issued a fraud order against him, which tied up several hundred letters containing money from people in Missouri. Ac cording to the inspectors of the post office department who investigated the case, Moore's scheme was to write in dividuals that he was tne executor of the estate of a man who had died re cently, leaving $80,000 worth of gov ernment t.ouds. In most cases he told the victims* that there was a certain gum of money, usually about |10, due on the bondi and that the victim, who was pictured as an heir, could secure them by the payment of that amount. When offi cers went to arrest him he lccked the door of his room and, before it could be broken open,made his escape No trace of him was found until it was learned he waa in tho Montana penitentiary. HEALTHY SHEEP No Disease Found in Flocks of South Dakota Sheep men Deadwood, March 22.—Dr. S.E. Cos ford, of Rapid City, chief inspector for the government bureau of animal in dnstiy for Soutd Dakota, who has been iu Deadwood for the past two days, calls attention to the fact that the sheepmen of this state have entirely escaped the lueses which disease has wrought among the docks in Montana and Wyoming. The authorities here, on the breaking out of the disorder iD the neighboiing states, used extraordi ary precautions to safeguard the terri tory under their supervision, and their efforts were eminently successful. Not only have the South Dakota sheep avoided the peculiar disease which has teen prevailing in Wyoming and Mon tana, but they nave wintered well, have not had to coutend with severe cold and deep snow and have been able to find good feed throughout the win ter. In Wyoming and especially in the Red Desert country, the losses have leen immense and many of the sheep men will be practically put out of business. It is said that in one little town in the Red Desert country a re markable sight was in evidence during the worst of the recent storm. Thou sands of sheep had been driven in from all directions and were congregated in the town seeking shelter. On the lee ward side of every building in the place, packed tightly against the wall and stretching out in a wedge shaped mass, until the ones further from the building wonld get the wind from ooth sides. If yon are looking for a wedding or birthday gift, you will always find something suitable at Miss Bogen's. Aa the wall paper season is near at hand, it will be well for you to step in an 3 look over the largest stock of the most op to date wall papers displayed in the city.
