glowing in his handsome face, pleading
eagerly, clinging fervently to both her
tiny white-gloved hands. Mrs Garrison
saw it all in the flash of a second, the
adjutant not at all, for with merry
laughter she repeated some words he
had just spoken as though they were
about the wittiest, funniest things in
the world, and looked frankly up into
his eyes as though he were the best and
brightest man she had met in years
SO his eyes were riveted, and the tableau
had time to dissolve. All the same that
sight gave Mrs. Garrison rather more
than bad quarter of an hour. She was.
infinitely worried. Not because Pat
Latrobe had fallen desperately in love
with her charming little sister-that
was his lookout-but what-oh, what
might not happen if the charming little
sister were to fall in love with that,
handsome soldier boy. AT all hazards,
even if she had to whisk her away to-
morrow, that had to be stopped, and
this very evening when they went to-
their room Margaret spoke.

don't let it go any further-don't fall

The younger sister stood at the dress
ing-table at the moment, her face avert
ed. The Mary Powell was just round
ing the point, and the mellow, melo-
dious notes of her bell were silk echoing
through the Highlands. Nita was gaz-

said.

You've got to marry money if I have to

"It's because must. I can't see you

"His uncle" began Mia, feebly.

The younger sister was still at the
dressing-table diligently brushing he,
shining, curly tresses. She had re
gained her composure and took occa
sional furtive peeps at Mrs.. Frank, now
seated at the foot of the bed, busy with
buttonhook and the adjustment of 6
pair of very dainty boots of white kid
whose buttons cleaned like pearls
The mates to them, half size smaller
peeped from the tray of Nita's new
trunk.
There came footstep and a rap a
the door. "See what it is, Nita, there's
a love-I don't want to hop"

ished. Mia glanced at the card and in
stantly trouble stood in her palinl

her hand, took the card, and one quicl
look. The buttonhook dropped from
her relaxed fingers. The card read:

SUNNY WOMEN.

Who has not known the woman whose
disposition is described by that one word
"sunnyl" There's always a laugh Turk
ing on her lips. Her cheeks are ever
ready to dimple in smiles. Her house
hold influence is as frightening and
stimulating as the sunshine. Nothing
can be crueler than to have this sunshine
blotted out by disease. But this is a
common cruelty. The young wife who
was the sunshine of the home becomes
its shadow. Every young wife should
know the value of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription in the protection and pres
ervation of the health. It promotes
regularity, dries the drains which enfee-
bic body and mind, and cures inflamma-
ton, liberation and female weakness.
It nourishes the nervous system and
gives to the body the balance and buoy

temperance medicine.

cOur OF the bullet, but tie inquest
the following morning developed that
the main intestine had been torn.
Saturday evening County Attorney
Smith, accompanied by an ARGUS
representative, visited the bedside OF
the dying man. AZ that time he was
by no means sure that he should die,
and In fact wished to postpone any
account OF the affair until a few days
later, when he expected to feel better.
Ho weyer, from the little information
elected, the story from Browns
standpoint seemed about the same as
told by Gowans. Brown acknowl-
edged the cause Of the trouble and
said that he had made the threat at
the dinner table attributed to him.
though IL was not his intention to
kill Gowans, but to beat him II he did
not quit bothering him. Browns said
that when Gowans assailed him he
was without n weapon OF any kind,
no quarrel had Immediately preced-
ed, and that when Gowans ap-
preached him with the rifle he did
his best to get away, but was shot
in the back. Even considering the
~enormity OF the crime and the pain
which had been caused him-to say
nothing OF possible death-Brown
appeared only DESTROYS to see Cow
ans punished in accordance with jus.
tice, not an angry word escaping his
lips.
Sunday morning the following cor
oner's jury was impaneled; 7. III.
Mackey, w. 5. Smith, Charles Hall,
John Walker, Andrew Green, William
Wunderlin, q. J. Wiedeman, Joseph
Bertrand, George Stoudt. The re.
mali nj were viewed and n pust-mor-
tenn examination held, after which
adjournment was taken until next
Tuesday, July >, when an opportun-
ity will probably he given for Cow
ans to tell the jury his story OF the
affair.
The deceased was locally known as
"Slick Saddle Brown" and had been
breaking horses for George Jackson
and George Kelly during the spring.
Both the men were expert sheep
shearers and as far as known bore
good regulations, not having previ-
ously been concerned in any import
ant trouble in this county.
GOwans' only excuse for tho act
seems to be that he feared Brown
would kill him II he did not himself
take the initiative.
G.. p. Burnett Of Gilt Edge, who

had known Brown since the spring

DEPUTY EDER KILLED.
Cowboys Finally Slaughter the Man Who
Has Opposed Them in Years Past.

Helena, June 2j.-Deputy Sheriff John Elder
Of V ALLEY county was shot and killed at Gull
bertson last night by Charles II. Stafford, who
was recently appointed stock inspector. Elder
last J anuary killed a cowboy named Armstrong
who was the leader of a gang of cowboys that
was terorizing the town, shooting lights and
the like. Feeling has run high ever since, the
town being divided into factions as to the
righteousness of Elders action. No reason il
known for Stafford killing Elder unless it was
that growing out Of the Armstrong killing.
Agent Scobey of Fort Peck reservation. who is
in tC wn, says he cannot account for the latest
tragedy as Stafford was a peaceable, law-abid-
ing citizen.

Charles Brown Killed by John Cow
ans at the Stephens Shearing
Pens Saturday.
GOWAAS GIVES HIMSELF UP
The Murder Resulted From a Petty
Quarrel About a Few Dollars
Of Change.

A quarrel over Il tritle and a petty
incident resulted in the commission
Of murder at the Maluy ranch on
Plum creek Saturday last, where the
wool of Oscar Stephens is being
sheared for market.
John Gowans is now In jail await
ing trial for murder and Chas. Brown
is in his grave in the Lewistowncem-
etery.
After committing the crime Gowans
rode to Lewistown and for some
time was seated on the court house
steps waiting for an officer to take
him into custody. Sheriff Shaw was
on a fishing trip, Undcr-Sheriff Slater
had gone to assist the Clark vlndi-
Gators at Butte, and Jailer Nichols
was a few miles out Of town attend
ing to some civil business of the sher.
ifs office. Gowans continued to sit
there conversing with another as to
how the"play came up" until County
Attorney Smith and Marshal Kane,
followed shortly by Jailer Nichols,
came upon the scene, when Gowans
voluntarily related to the county at
torney his story Of the affair.
Gowans said that some time since
he had given Brown some money
with which to buy sheep shears, oil
and other essentials to be used by him
during the shearing season, and
Brown had made the purchases, but
postponed rendering an accounting
or returning the change. Upon sew
eral occasions Gowans had demand
ed Il settlement, but non was forth
coming, and Il feeling Of enmity grad
ually arose between them. On the
Goth inst. both being employed at
the Stephens pens on the Maloy ranch,
Gowans had again demanded of
Brown the balance which he believed
to he due him, and Brown had re-
sponded bitterly, adding, III you
don't shut your mouth I'll fix it SO
you can't eat soup" or words 10
that effect.
Saturday noon, while thccrew was
seated at dinner, Brown was talking
with companions concerning where
Carl Anderson and wife were married
whether in Lewistown or Maiden.
Gowans interposed his view Of the
controversy, which made Brown very
angry. and he said to Gowans that
il he did not quit interfering with
him "I'll have to kill you" Brown
also SHE'D a cup at Gowans, who was
seated across the table.
Not Immediately, but less than m
hour later, Gowans went to one Of
the wagons and got q Winchester
rife Of 80 30 callher and approached
Brown, who was standing not fnr
distant with other men. Brownsaw
Gowans coming with the gun and
attempted to get away, but was
felled, the pursuer being about thirty
yards distant when he fired.
Brown, the seriousness of whose
wound was not realized, was put
into a wagon and started for Lewis
town, at the strengthening pens the
course being changed to the county
hospital, where he died at 800 the
same evening.
Drs. Lindsey and Long waited sup-
on him and found the bullet had en-
tered the left hip, penetrating the hii'
bone and emerging about two inches
from the navel. The patient was so
weak that it was impossible for
them to probe and ascertain the
