JAS. ALLENSWORTH, JR'

After the inquest was held cor
ner Allensworth made further in
vestigation and found that the child
had been tied by its navel cord to a
part of coil of barbed wire. This
string had broken and let the child
rise to the surface.
1t was plain case OF infanticide.
The child had been weighted and
thrown into the water. The ap-
pearance of the infant showed that
Il was fully developed.
1t was entirely naked and not
very much decomposed. The hair
was black, straight and abundant
ard the skin light color. The child
was either white or a very light
mulatto. No clue has been dis
covered to lead to the guilty party.
A reward of $50 has been offered
by the county Judge for the arrest
and conviction of the party who
destroyed the life of the infant.

INFAN'TlCIDE.
"A Male Child Weighted With
Wire Found in The River.
Inquest Held and a Verdict OF
Murder Returned by the
Jury

A newly born infant, presumably
white, was found floating in the
river under the stone bridge on
Seventh street at an early hour
Tuesday morning. 1t was first
seen in the water BY Jack Phelps,
col, and Frank Allen, col, went in
the water and got it out The cor
oner was notified and held an in
quest.
Jack Phelps, col, testified:
twas crossing the bridge about
7 o clock and noticed something in
the water below the bridge that
had the appearance of a child. l
called other witnesses and oncloser
investigation found that it was a
child.
DR.. Claude Banks aXamined the
child and stated that it had been in
the water several days and from
the discoloration of the skin it
would be hard to tell if it was a
white or colored child, but he sup
posed it to be white.
The jury returned the following
verdict:
We the jury summoned by the
coroner to look into the cause of the
death of a newborn male child fully
developed, and supposedly white,
found in Little River, just south of
the Princeton bridge, city of Hop

A Practical Horse Grower.

There are many horse growers in
Montana, but it can be safely said that
out of the number there are few, if any,
that are more practical in the business
than L. J. Farrell of Virginia City. MIR.
Farrell who was in attendance at the
stock meeting this year, is the senior
member of the Farrell & Varney firm,
and the "VF" brand is known from
Texas to the British line.
Mr.. Farrell has made horse growing a
life study, for thirty years he has devoted
his attention to it and is a veteran in the
business. Three years ago he purchased
the entire interest of his partner which
purchase included all horses in the "VF"
brand.
This winter has been a hard one on
stock in Madison county and Mr.. Farrell
estimates his loss alone in the neighbor-
hood Of five hundred head which is con-
fined almost entirely to yearlings. Last
year MIR. Farrell shipped about three
hundred head of range horses, most of
which were put on the Kansas City mar
ket and were sold in car load lots for use
in the southern cotton country. One
feature that MIR. Farrell is enthusiastic
about is the fact that range horses that
have been halter broken and are gentle
find a ready purchaser even though they
are branded, and always sell for good
prices, especially where they were
trimmed up, had the size and action, were
they sought after for city use regardless
Of brands.
Mr.. Farrell said in an impromptu talk
this week that there was an active inquiry
for horses, more so in fact than he had
ever had in his association with this
business. Draft stations are becoming
scarce and there are likewise many in
q%uiries for this class. Taking it all in all
there is in his opinion very fair prospects
for the horse of the future.-Miles City
Journal.
Mr.. Farrell also has large property in,
~terests at Dickinson and vicinity and
spends several months each year here
During the past month he has been in
Dickinson.
