Sheriff Smith alleges that no less than five woodchoppers from the mountains surrounding the city have appeared at the jail and requested incarceration.

Numerous circuses have shown wonders of the world in their sideshows, including five-legged or two-headed calves, which have been seen at certain state tairs. To Ernest M. Rose some credit is coming, for he has brought to light one of western Montana's oddities.

He has brought to Missoula a buck- doe It is a doe, but it has horns and has the hoofs of a buck. Old-timers when they heard the story of a buck-doe, scoffed and said, "buck fever." But Mr. Rose has the prof at his home. One hundred and fifty pounds of 'proof were brought to Missoula yesterday. Mr.

Rose and Frank Smith, both employes in the federal building, went on a deer hunting expedition Sunday morning. On the Nine Mile divide where three counties come together, Mr. Rose sighted an anima with horns. It was a large animal, with two short horns which appeared as if they were "in the velvet." With one shot, he downed the animal, and upon inspection it was disclosed that it was a doeT On its head were two horns about" four inches long, covered with hair, like the inside of its enormous ears. The extraordinary head will be preserved, so that doubting Thomases will doubt no more, Mr.

Rose says. A short three-hours after Mr. Rose got his buck-doe, Mr. Smith shot an enormous seven-point blacktail buck, which is reprted to weight more than 250 pounds, and possesses a head of unusual beauty.

'I like it and I'll stay with it until I die," George "Stringy" Howard, 43, one of the seven, told the court when he was ordered to the itate hospital for cure.

It estimated that 3,000,000 of States and Canadian wheat were purchased today to go to consumers, and that in the last week, more than 1.000,000 bushels of wheat has been bought here for flour mills elsewhere in this country.
