E There seems to be something of
a demand for good heavy work oxen
over on the Sound to be used in the log
gIng camps IN that section. Here cattle
of all kinds are cheap and plentiful. and
we hear of some of our citizens who
contemplate buying up lot of oxen
and driving them over the mountains
to the land of saw logs. They can be
purchased very low here, and choice
animals can be found very easily. so
that we see no reason why this country
may not only furnish beef, but also the
work oxen to be used by the loggers.-

T A fearful tragedy occurred near
Bozeman, Montana, on tie I'd inst. 1T
seems that one Jack Schuster while
under the influence Of liquor on that day,
engaged in quarrel with Mr.. McKen-
zie. Schuster left town, vowing ven-
genee against Mckenzie, and went to the
ranch of young man named Frazier.
From there went to a house just across
the road and secured revolver. and
then secreted himself in fence corner,
awaiting the approach of Mckenzie, who
must pass that way on his road home.
Mckenzie soon rode up in company
with Frazier, and as soon as within
range, Schuster fired from his ambush,
the first shot penetrating the brain of
Frazier an innocent party-killing him
instantly. Schuster fred again, fatally
wounding Mckenzie, who died at noon
next day. A fitting sequel to this double
homicide is told,' when the populace
pursued the murderer. He fled before
them, and when ordered to stop he re-
fused ami was shot dead in his tracks
thus forfeting his life for the two he
had SO numerically taken.
