FATAL SHOOTING.
Frank Hartzell Shoots Andy Drum
mOnd at His Ranch on Coffee
Creek, in the Judith.
Hartzell Gives Himself Up to the An
thOrities-It Is Believed to
Be Self. Defense.

From the Lewistown Argus of May 81
We CLEAN the following account Of the
tragedy on Coffee creek in the Judith
basin, about fifteen miles from the
mouth of Warm Spring creek:
During the last two weeks the de-
ceased, Andy Drummond, whose ranch
is on Coffee creek, and Frank Hartzell
had been running their sheep together
in order to aid each other through lamb
ing time. For several days previous to
Monday the two men had often disa-
greed, quarreled, and had not been on
friendly terms. Considering that they
could no longer get along Hartzell sug
gested to Drummond that they separate
the sheep and, assisted by a boy who
was working for Hartzell, they separated
the two bands Monday morning. Two
of Hartzell's sheep got into Drummond's
band after they had been run through
the chute and the latter acknowledged
this to Hartzell. During the morning
Drummond cursed Hartzell and kicked
him. After the sheep were sepa-
rated Hartzell sent the boy away
with the strong band and remained with
the band of old ives and weak lambs
uliIicCits llui WOuL ~ llo vi
some 400 yards away, for his horse and
on returning carried his 4O.6O Winchest.
or, believing that he was in danger from
mond's band and attempted to get his
two strayed sheep, but Drummond said
They're yours. but you can't have
them" After some passionate words
Drummond, who was carrying a sapline
some 10 feet long, struck Hartzell on the
head and the latter being mounted or
an old work horse could not get away
AS Drummond raised to strike again
Hartzell shot him, killing him instantly
Immediately Hartzell rode to Jamet
Aubury's and sent a boy to carry thu
news to Mrs. Drummond and also to tel
some other men who we're camped no
far distant. Hartzell then came tt
town.
Sheriff Deaton. Corr Q Hanson
Frank Hartzell and Attorney B. q
White left at daybreak Tuesday morn
ing to hold an inquest. Both Hartzel
and Drummond are married men with
children.
LATER Sheriff Deaton and party re
turned late Tuesday night not having
been able to hold an inquest as thu
herders and deceased's family could no
be subpoened that day. The body ha(
been moved to the home of Mrs. Pierce
mother-in law of the deceased, but Mr.
Pierce and Mrs. Drummond had gon'
away to see about sheep. A jury being
impanneled viewed the remains and will
take testimony Friday. The bulle
struck on the chin and ranging down
ward broke the neck, passing out at thu
back.
An interview with Mr.. Hartzel
brought out no new facts. He feel
very badly, regretting the circumstanc
greatly but believes no did right. Drum
mond is a giant in size, standing 6 feet
inches tall and weighing 23O pounds
His reputation has been bad he havinI
bullied his neighbors often, and tho i'm
preston was general in that section tina
sooner or later he would be killed.

Times Are Changing and the People Be
ginning to Feel Better.
Special Correspondence of THE TRIBUNE.
UPPER JUDITH, May 29.-In our cor
ner Of the great state of Montana every
thing has beer. quiet for the last few
months, but times are changing and our
people are beginning to feel better.
The fockmasters are all rejoicing over
the favorable weather for Landing and
shearing this season.
The state supreme court has finally
handed down a decision in the case Of
Waite vs.. David and others. This case
excited much interest in this neck Of
the woods. David was the victor in the
court of last resort.
The old mining camp Of Yogo is enjoy
ing a small sized boomlet and Yogo
creek water is riled with mud from quite
a number Of tail races. At the head of
the gulch Tom King and George Frazier
are putting in a bedrock tlume. There
are gravel prospects from the grass roots
down, and it looks as if the boys were
about ito make a killing"
Further down the creek Macdonald is
taking out gold and some Others are try
ing to do the same.
In the canyon below bud Richards
ranch a full crew Of men are worked by
Jakey Hoover, the discoverer Of the
gulch. He is going to open that part OF
the gulch and is backed by S. S. Hobson
in the undertaking.
Two Great Falls dudes, Bud Dogberry
and Buck Sawyer, came out to fogo the
other day attracted by the glare of the
filthy lucre. They were bold enterpris-
ing men, and had not been twelve hours
in the camp when they put up a location
notice. A severe rain storm set in and
having forgotten their umbrellas a,
home they were in a sorrowful plight
and forced to beat a retreat. The rain
changed to snow and they would have
frozen If they had not been kept warm
by the feeling that they were millionairs
II is almost to sad to relate that they
had put their notice on ground located
for years, and when the rightfull owners
came around their notice was duly
laughed at by the boys in camp.
The Blue Dick mine is expected &c
start up shortly, and it is reported tina,
the old Weatherwax mine has changed
hands and will be worked once more
On the latter. although it is one of the
best properties in Yogo, no work Of any
practical value has been done since j. ID
Weatherwax's death.

THE COPPER MARK EFT.
The Decline Checked by the Receipt Of
Large Orders from Consumers.

The Decline Checked by the Receipt Of
Large Orders from Consumers.
The following is from the New York
Engineering and Mining Journal:
The decline noticed by us a week ago
has been checked by the receipt Of larger
orders from the consumers, who are now
better supplied with orders for their
product than they were, but all com
plain that the margin of profit has been
nearly if not quite wiped out. This does
not bode we'll for the market, as they
will have either to get more for their
manufactures or become able to lay
their raw material in cheaper, the latter
being the most likely to occur. Any
how, they almost all continue to follow
their conservative policy of buying only
what is needed in the very near future,
and as trade in Europe is very quiet, as
must be concluded from the fact that
even present unprecedently low prices
do not attract attention and buyers
speculation seems to be the only thing
that will bring about high prices. OF
speculation, however, there are no signs
in sight. We have to quote lake copper
at 94@93s, electrolytic at 9@9ls, cast.
ing at SamS7s, and Arizona pig copper
nominally at 84@8H

mel day, when at 10 o'clock the Sheri-
dan post of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, the confederate veterans, and the
Woman's Relief corps, with many citi-
zens, went to Highland cemetery to dec.
crate the graves. The ladies Of the re-
lief corps had made many floral wreaths,
crosses, anchors, etc, and when the dec
Grating was completed the cemetery pre-
eented a beautiful appearance being a
perfect mass of flowers Of every descrip-
ton.
About 2:30 p. N. the procession of the
day began to form on First avenue
south, and at 3 took up the lineof march
through the principal streets, TIE build
ings on which were decorated with the
national colors.
The streets and avenues were crowded
with spectators, and the different sec
tions of the procession were frequently
%applauded as they passed various points.
On reaching the Park hotel the pro-
ceesion countermarched to obtain the
best vantage points to listen to the diff
ferent orations which were then given
by Mayor Gelsthorpe, r. w. Berry, and
Hon. j. w. Tallant. addresses which
were 80 eloquent as to elecit great ap-
plause.

the opera house which vas handsomely
decorated for the occasion, and n of
the largest audiences ever inside its
walls. Music both vocal and instru-
mental, recitations and addresses form
ed a program which was very interest
ing, and was duly appreciated.
