ANDY DRUMMOND KILLED.
Shot BY Frank Hsrtzell Who Gives Himself
Up to the Authorities.

Frank Hartzell came to Lewistown
Tuesday evening and gave himself up
to h officers, relating the following
story to II. X. Carson as near as Mr..
Carson was able to repeat it:
During two weeks past deceased,
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. For several days previous to
Monday the W men had often disa-
greed, quarreled and had not been on
friendly terms. Considering that they
could no longer get along Hartzell
suggested to Drummoud that they
separate the sheep and assisted by a
boy who was working for Hartzell
they separated the two bands Mon
day morning. Two of Hartzell'ss sheep
got into Drummond's band after they
had been run through the chute and
the latter acknowledged this to Hart
zell. During the morning Drummond
cursed HartZell often and at one time
kicked him. After the sheep were sep
arated Hartzell sent the boy away
with the strong band and remained
with the band Of old ewes and
weak lambs himself. Hartzell went
to his camp, some 400 yards away,
for his horse and on returning carried
his 1890 Winchester, believing that
he was i'm danger from Drummond.
Hartzell went to Drummond's band
and attempted to get his two strayed
sheep, hut Drummond said, They're
yours, but you can't have them"
After some passionate words Drum
mond, who was carrying Al sapling
some ten feet long, struck Hartzell on
the head and the latter being mounted
on an old work horse could not get
away. As Drummond raised to strike
again, HartZell shot him. killing HIM
instantly. Immediately Hartzell rode
to Jas. Aubury's and vel u boy to
carry the news to Mrs. Drummond
and also to tell some other men who
were camped not far distant. Hart
zell then came to town.
Sheriff I)eaton, Coroner Hanson,
Frank Hartzell and Attorney b. c.
White left atdaybreak Tuesday morn
ing to hold an inquest. Both Hartzell
and Drummond are married men with
children.
LA~TER-Sheriff Deaton and party re
turned late Tuesday night not having
been able to hold an inquest as the
herders and deceased's family could
not be subpoened that day. The body
had been moved TO the home of Mrs
Pierce, mother-in-law of deceased, but

No prospective candidate of the Re-
publican party for the office of treas
urtr al the county is free from the
slurs Of the Mud Geyser. They are all
too intimately connected with the
bank. All of the candidates which the
feyered brains of the editor of that
sheet conjure up from time to time,
and who appear before him as n night
mare whether asleep or awake, boil
when he is sober and when he is not So
sober, are all afflicted in the same way.
Every %aspirant for the position will be
likewise afflicted in the eyes of that
prophet of evil" Whomever the Re,
publicaus nominate for that position,
the fight will lac made against him in
the line of these attacks. However, il
will be well for the taxpayers to re.
member on election dag that the Dem
ocratic candidate will be owned by the
gang who control the Mud Geyser, and
will be pledged to start a new bank
with the county funds. 1t remains to
be seen whether the ranchmen of the
county are willing to forward the
scheme and thus endanger the safety
of the country funds. Let the bank
be first started and then compete for
the county deposits, but do not let a
bank be started upon the county funds
as lis capital stock.

OUR CONGRESSMAN.

Congressman Hartman had n bout
with Harter OF Ohio a few days since
on the appropriation for arid land
surveys. In the skirmish with the
Ohioan Mr.. Hartman clearly got the
pest OF it, burning him up with merci-
less ridicule. He told Harter that he
knew less about the arid lands OF the
west than he did about silver. Speak
ing OF Harter's efforts IN securing the
repeal OF the purchasing clause OF the
"You all remember the glowing pic
ture he drew if that law was repealed;
and how he told us that all we had to
do in order to insure an era OF unex-
ampled prosperity here was to repeal
that law. He told us if that wasdone
prosperity would stalk abroad in the
land unaided by any other considera-
| ton of legislation and independent OF
any conditions that might exist"
| Mr.. Hartman told him she would not
know "a piece of arid land from a piece
of limestone if he saw it," He thought
the gentleman should take a trip out
into this country and get a little in
formation or the subject he was talk
ing about before he undertook 10 in
struct congress. When this question
OF arid. lands was being discussed in
the west by practical men, Mr.. Hart
s.uo tha nhio Stataon,an uyao
''sitting in his banking Office at Mans
field, Ohio, clipping coupons" Com
ing down to the solid facts at issue
Mr.. Hartman put them in thefollowine
forcible manner:
Now, Mr.. Chairman, in all candor and all
fairness, | want to say this miserable pit
tance OF $4,000, this peanut" which the
gentleman from Ohio proposes to take
away from us. is entirely inadequate. In.
stead Of So, 900 it ought to be $500. 600,
and then | undertake to say that every
dollar of that amount would be advan-
tageously invested, il it was under the con
troll Of IA man who knew anything about
his business. | frankly say that if the sec
Rotary of agriculture does not know any
more about arid lands than he does about
"A great many other things, or more than
my distinguished friend from Ohio MIR.
Harterl knows. we might just as well not
appropriate anything. for ] do not believe
he would know how to expend it; bur, sir,
let $500, 900 or SSo.OoO he placed in the
possession of some practical man. let him
90 out To that country, let him take sur
veyors, let him take his brains with him
and not his preiudices, as the gentleman
from Ohio always does when he comes to
deal with "a thing of this kind. and ] under |
take to say he could not fail to find hun
dreds OF thousands of acres that could be
made to blossom like the rose. And say. |
furthermore, it comes with i'll grace from
the gentleman from Ohio MIR. Harterl-I
after he has voted to destroy theindustries
of the west, by voting to kill silver, by
voting to take the tariff off lead and wool
it comes with i'll grace from him to say to
us, "oh, well, the farmers of the country
raising too much now, and for Gods
sake do not put any more land under cul-
lAppIause.]
Mr.. Hartman was frequently greeted
applause and laughter for his
wit, sarcasm and solid facts. Our
young congressman has shown him.

The Missouri Democratic platform Is
about as humorous as n patent medi-
cine almanac. After demanding the
free bimetallic coinage of both gold and
silver, it turns around and praises the
patriotism, integrity and ability OF
Grover Cleveland" because he ap-
proved the repeal of the federal cleo.
ton law. Its trainers seem to over
look the fact that Grover is the arch
enemy of silver and almost wholly re.
sponsible for the repeal of the Sherman
law. Platforms are queer things
especially in Missouri.

The B. q II. Road.

The extension of the Burlington &
Missouri River r. X. to a connection
with the Northern Pacific at Billings,
Mont, will revolutionize the railroad
situation of the northwest. A new
route to Chicago and the east is only
one-and perhaps the least important
of the results it will bring about.
Direct communication with Omaha,
st. Joseph, Kansas City, st. Louis
and the rich territory south and
southeast of those cities will be estab-
lished. An enormous saving in time
and distance will be effected. As an
instance, note that between Helena
and Omaha the new line will be nearly
400 miles shorter and 80 hours quicker
than any other route.
1t is authoritively given ont that "A
close traffic agreement with the North
ern Pacific will be entered nto and
that through train service between
Portland and Chicago is among the
possibilities.
The interest of this and adjoining
states and those of an immense por-
ton OF the territory tributary to the
Burlington system are mutual. We
produce what they need; they, what
we must have. And the Burlington's
new line will be the natural avenue of
Nebraska, Kansas and
Missouri, for example, are heavy pur-
chasers of Washington lumber. Last
year oxer 5000 carloads were shipped
to Omaha alone.
The construction of the extension is
being pushed with the utmost vigor
and there is every reason to believe
that it will be completed and in run
ming order long before snow flies this
fall.

At bedrock price is sold.
