GREAT FALLS. Mont, Feb. 9.-Joe
Pegg, a cowboy, was shot and fatally
injured yesterday morning at a ranch neal
Shelly Junction, north of here. by
another cowboy named Dick Crawford.
The shooting was the result of an old
feud. Last night a dance was given at a
ranch at which a large number of COW
boys attended. Several times during the
night the two men quarreled, but were
kept apart by friends. As the dance was
breaking up Crawford approached Pegg
and asked hin to shake hands and be
friends. This Pegg seemingly agreed to.
but as Crawford turned to ride away he
opened fire upon him. Crawford instantly
returning the fire. Several shots were
exchanged, and one ball entered Pegs
side, just below the heart. Crawford was
hurried away by friends and is still at
large.

Every member is interested to know
what is coming up before the next legis-
lature, and especially in what that legis-
lature will do with public issues. The
Capital Journal of Salem will publish ev-

strong editorial articles on the reforms
that are current, and later will give the
fullest reports of its doings. Its edito-
rial discussions are from the standpoint
OF the people. The Journal seeks no Off.
ces or political favors for itself or its
friends, and speaks OF public matters
with freedom possessed by few news
papers. If you would have an independ-
ent newspaper that proposes to publish
all the true facts concerning legislation
you should take the Capital Journal al
once. Special price, SOC for four months.

Willis Zachary arrived here Saturday
from Ellensburg, where he and Pete
Humphrey had their examination as sus-
poets Of the Roslyn bank robbery. They
were not identified, and after being held
in Jail three days were turned loose. Bill
says the "examnation" the other boys
had there was the biggest farce ever be-
fore heard Of They were not allowed TO
even ask for witnesses; but that $4,000
reward staring the whisky-soaked mob
in the face, caused the cowardly wretches
to act more like brutes than human be-
ings, and they rushed the boys off to Jail
without giving them ghost Of chow.
Everyone thinks that the reason those
drunken detectives" acted with such
madness was that the saloons shut them
off from getting any more whiskey unless
they paid for it, and being dead broke,
they now undertake TO convict these in
nocent men in order to get the reward
But we believe they will have to "bum
their drinks" long time yet, unless
they run onto the real robbers. Attor-
ney Goode Of Condor was in town Tues
day, preparing bonds for Geo. Zachary
and Cal Hale. Georges bonds are all
made up, and Hale's are almost ready.
Another strong proof that their ar
rest is simply huge farce, is that the
$700-mortgage the detectives claim to
have discovered that George paid off at
Arlington, turns out to be "mare's
nest" Of gigantic proportions. County
Clerk Lucas informs us that the records
show that no mortgage was ever held
against Zachary in Gillian county. Mr..
Sullivan will doubtless drop down anoth-
er notch or two when he learns this fact.

They claimed that they were driving a
band Of their own horses and that sew.
eral Of Crawford's and Wick's horses got
mixed with theirs and that they could
not separate them, but intended to do SO
when they reached a certain corral
ahead. Murray said he was working for
stockman living in Grant county, to
which place he was bound for when ar
rested. They gave such a straight &C.
count of themselves that the Justice 15
way believed that they probably weren't
so guilty as they might be; although
things did not appear exactly "on the
square" to him, so he bound them over
to the grand jury, placing Murray's bonds
at $3.50 and Rein's at 800. In default
OF these they went to jail, Geo. Perry
and Otho Ward taking the prisoners to
Condor Sunday. l.. W. Darling repre-
sented the defense and Morgan Ward
the State, at the examination.
