pipes are to be laid from the point stated
to the reservoir now being built at

! plete Butte will lave a supply of water
| which for purity and quantity cannot be
eNcelled anywhere in the west.

| has appropriated water rights on the
Big Hole river and Divide creek and is
nov constructing a pumping station OPP
posite Maiden Rock, on the former
stream; that it has also constructed a
reservoir near Walkervilie for the pur-
pose of storing the water. which it in
tends to conduct from the river through
"a and 26-inch pipes, laid four feet below
the surface Of the ground.

Justice Nichols with the sanction of the
county attorney. Moughton told Corne-
Illus Kelly that on Monday night Ken
nough struck him on the head with a
club. The blow knocked him down, he
said, and kennough then drew a knife
and made a lunge at his heart, but he
threw up his left arm and the blade
buried itself in the muscles. He showed
the wound and had with him a friend who
corroborated his story. Asked what

Moughton said he was employed at the
Butte 4 Boston smelter and Kennough
lived at his house, located on the Parrot

his wife of being a little too intimate, but
decided to accumulate evidence before
making any bad breaks. Monday night
his wife was away from home and. be-
lieving she and Kennough We're together.
he visited a saloon near by and started
to enter via a side door. Just as he did
SO the door flew open and Kennough
