TIE TURF.

NEW YORK. Oct. 28.-Although
Lewis G. Tewl1sbury's contract for
the purchase of Robert ] (2:O11s) did
not call for the delivery of the former
champion until Oct. 81, C. j. Hamlin
shipped him to his new owner yester-
day, and the great little horse is now
quartered at Fleetwood park in charge
of Trainer e. r. Bovine He arrived
in New York in fine condition after
his long, hard season, and people who
saw him yesterday say that he looks
fit to pace the race of his life.
Mr.. Tewksbury bought Robert to
drive on the road, but he viii not take
him out of the trainers hands SO long
as negotiations are pending with the
owners of the Australian trotter, Fritz,
relative to a match race between these
crack harness horses of two hemi-
spheres. The owner of Robert ] ex-
poets to hear from Australia before the
middle, of next month Should the
terms proposed by him be accepted,
Mr.. Bovine would soon afterward start
with Robert for the scene OF the
race. If the international match falls
through, the little PAGER will go into
winter quarters at once.
A good many horsemen expect to see
Robert ] again in training next spring
in the stable of Mr. Bovine.

the wound on his head dressed and
when the door was burst open was sit

Tracy. standing in the threshold of
the open door, took good aim at An
derson, and. with the remark, You

Anderson staggered to his feet and
then fell to the floor mortally wounded.
Tracy ran from the house, and his mis-

floor. started after the murderer and

by DR.. w. III. Allen of Horr, Mrs. An

Anderson went down town and on
his return said he had bought a tur-
Key. Then he went into Tracy's room.
There was no door, but boards between
the rooms. He took the boards off
with a hatchet and went in. He then
asked Tracy where the turkey was.

nothing. The woman took the hatchet

husband out. They would not let him
out, but swore they would kill him
there. Then my husband started for
the door and picked up something and
gave Jack a good one on the head.
Jack fell and Anderson came to our
room, nailed up the boards and pretty
soon we sat down to dinner. Half an
hour later Tracy kicked in the door
and fired two shots and ran. Anderson

Ed Kirwin. who lives in the front

Big Timber Pioneer: While many
Montana papers are every week filling
the places on the republican ticket, II
might be well to remember that the
national convention meets In st. Louis
on June 16, and as that date is not so
far away, 1t might also be well to look
around for the men who will represent
this great state in that important con-
vention.
In looking over the several counties
of Montana, one will find that Sweet
Grass leads them all in its republican
ism and Is the banner republican coun-
ty of the state. For many years has
the territory of which Sweet Grass
was created furnished the republican
vote of Park county. and made that
county the banner republican county
of the state. Since her creation, Sweet
Grass county is still strong In the be-
lief that the republican party Is pre-
eminently the one of all others to
tie to.
Such being the case, the county de-
serves recognition at the hands of the
republican party OF the state. Believ-
ing the county will receive such a rec
ognition and believing also that Sweet
Grass has within its borders a citizen
who could represent the state in a
most creditable manner, the Pioneer
takes pleasure this week In bringing
the subject forward for the papers OF
the state TO express their opinion on II.

MEN AND WOMEN QUARREL
Jack Tracy Fires Two Shots Into
Chris Anderson's Body Without
Warning A Repulsive Old
Hag Mixed Up In It..

Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Livingston, Jan. 4.-The tragedy en-
acted at the coal camp of Horr on
Christmas day. whereby Chris Ander-
son lost his life at the hands Of Jack
Tracy. was unquestionably one of
the most cold-blooded murders ever
perpetrated in Park county. All the
facts and circumstances surrounding
the commission of the crime bear out
the statement that the murderer, who
10 now in Jail in this city awaiting
trial for his deed of blood, gave Ander-
son no show whatever for his life, but,
catching him like a rat in q trap, de-
liberately and premeditatedly shot him
to death. The particulars Of the kill
ing and the events leading up thereto
are as follows:
Tracy and his mistress and Ander-
son and his wife occupied adjoining
rooms in the old Sommerville lodging
house. where the murder took place
The partition between the two rooms
contained doorway. but this was
boarded up. The two men had been
drinking and became involved in a
row over the disappearance of a tur-
key, which Anderson had bought and
taken home. He accused Tracy and his
woman of having stolen Ii and made
up his mind TO institute a search for
the missing fowl. Grabbing a hatchet,
he knocked off some of the boards,
which took the place of the door. and
crawled through into Tracy's room
The two men engaged in a fist fight, in
which Anderson was getting the best
of II when Tracy's mistress came to
his rescue with a hatchet and together
they soon had Anderson about done
up. At this juncture, Anderson seized
-
over the head that fioored him. An
derson then crawled back through the
opening into his own room and nailed
up the hole. Tracy got up and started
down town In a terrible passion, and
on his way told one or two persons
whom he met that he was going after
a gun for the purpose of killing An
derSon. Half an hour afterward he
was seen hurryfng home with a big
six-shooter in his hand He Went
straight to Anderson's outside door

tried jointly for the homicide. The
woman was seen in jail this evening
by the Standard correspondent. She
was indiscreet enough to talk freely
about the tragedy. Her version of the
affair, which, II true might exculpate
her. doesn't place Tracy in any other
light than that of an assassin. She
said:
Anderson and his wife had frequent
quarrels. and on the day of the kill
ing they had been drinking and he
was in a pretty ugly mood. Tracy and
heard them quarreling. and pounded
on the partition and said: You d
humping your wife for all the time.
Anderson called me an old b, and
said he would learn me TO mind my
own business. That was how the
trouble commenced. There wasn't any
thing said about a turkey, and any
body that says there was lies. Nobody
had any turkey around there that 1
know of. After I called Anderson a
big brute for licking his wife. he broke
into our room by knocking off the
boards on the doorway. He came right
for me, but Tracy stopped him. He
tried to kill us both. / didn't hit hin,
with hatchet I hit him with a stove
lid; I threw II at him. Tracy didn't
hit him with a hatchet or poker or any
thing else. Anderson knocked Tracy
down, though, with a poker and cut
his head awfully. AS soon as Anderson
went back into his room Tracy started
down town. He said he was going
down to the DOCTORS Office and get his
wound dressed. He didn't say any
thing about getting a gun and coming
back to do up Anderson. He was gone
about half an hour. but I didn't see
him coming. II / had I would have
