DEER LODGE, March IL, Especial TO the
Independent IA dispatch was received
here from Drummond about 10 a. m. by
Sheriff Moore that Patrick Dooley had
been shot and killed by one Of the Milroys.
The shooting occurred on Willow creek,
seven mlles south OF Drummond, where
both parties have ranches. The FIRST that
was known Of the shooting was when Mil
roy rode into Drummond and gave himself
up TO the deputy sheriff, stating
that he had shot Patrick
Dooley and wished TO be taken TO Deer
Lodge. Investigation proved that Dooley
had been shot with needle gun, the ball
entering the left breast, one inch above the
heart and passed through his body coming
out back Of the right shoulder. Dooley Ia
still alive at last accounts but cannot re-
cover. II Is impossible to get reliable par
ticulars up TO this writing. Many rumors
are current, but are so contradictory that
nothing can be asserted as to the imme-
diste cause Of the shooting until Sheriff
Moore arrives with his prisoner.

an occurrence for these parties TO take
shots ct each other that the people ceased
to notice them, but predicted fatal results
sooner or later.

few years. Their reputation among
their neighbors is not Of the best The
law abiding citizens Of the valley consider
them mainly responsible for the quarrel
