SPREE ENDS IN A RIOT
Bloody Scenes on the Prairies of
Northern Montana.
ONE MAN SHOT AND KILLED
"Klondike Falls Victim to a Deadly
Bullet From Frank Murphy's
Gun : Entire Community
Terror zed.

Great Falls, Oct. Pa letter from
Shelby Junction gives the following ac-
count of the shooting at Concord on
the Great Northern high line" Sun
day night: Several cowboys and rail-
road graders who have a camp in that
vicinity had been at the blind pig"
Kept by Guss Finn, and as they were
returning to camp they became so i'm
bued with the whiskey there received
that they began to quarrel among
themselves. Some of them being no.
tor1ous characters, matters became in
teresting In short time and revolvers
We're brought into service and bullets
were sent on their deadly errands.
During the row one man, who goes
by the name of 'Klondike,'' was shot
and killed by Frank Murphy. Both
men were graders. The noise was
heard at some of the camps and seve-
raj men ran out to ascertain the cause
Of the disturbance, but were informed
by those who controlled the situation
that the first man who attempted to
interfere would be sent to the happy
hunting grounds"
CONSERVATION then seized the whole
camp and flying forms were soon seen
speeding toward places of safety. Con-
tractor Jones, who did not wish to
leave camp while the men were in their
excited condition, asked for some one
to go to Concord and telegraph for aid.
William f. Carey, guest of the con-
tractor, proffered his services and
started into the inky blackness of the
night, and, thanks to his fieetness of
foot, arrived in Concord in a few mo-
ments and sent for the proper authori-
ties.
1t is said that Dan Ledgerwood was
so terrified that he left camp and did
not show up until this forenoon, while
several others concealed themselves IN
the ravines during the night. When the
notice reached Shelby junction the
deputy sheriff was so terrified by the
call that he refused to undertake the
task of subduins the rioters.
Finally. in the search for some one
to 60, ]. T. McClammy offered his
services and went to Concord, depu-
tized to arrest all taking part in the
disturbance. He succeeded in securing
the man who did the killing and took
him to Fort Benton. The dive run by
Mrs Finn has long been source of
mischief and criminality in the neigh
borhood.

has received from William Kerwin,
the man who picked up a diamond and
pearl pin belonging to Mrs William
Coburn of this city, and by trying to
sell 1T got into trouble in Minneapolis,
the following letter giving his version
of the story:
Minneapolis, Oct. 20. 1Sss.-Mr. Chief
of Police, Great Falls, Mont, Dear
Sir: / found a diamond pin in your
city as I was coming through. 1 did
not know what I had until 1 got to
Minneapolis and pawnbroker offer
ed me 500 for it, but ] would not take
It, We had some loud words, which
caused policeman to come in, and
was arrested and there was a lady in
st. Paul who claimed the pin, but I
told Chlef Doyle ! found the pin in
Great Falls and + did not have any
money to stay in Great Falls to look
for the owner. I did not think it was
worth much. I am a switchman, and
l am working now, SO | thought T
would write to you and find out if YOU
got the pin, and if there was anything
in 1t for me. Chief Doyle said there
would be reward for me, but I have
not got anything yet. Yours truly,
WILLIAM KERWIN.

Ihere will probably be little in it for
"llllam after the manner in which he
mas acted. In fact Chief Guerin has
not yet received the pin and may have
to replevin it for Mrs Coburn, as
Chief Doyle may not give it up until
ne is positive of assurance against any
further claimants
