Although none of the commissioners

"SPtCK" MAR 3H KILLED.
Cow Punchev with Reputation
Laid Low by Frank Howard
at L u Ranch.

Word was brought to town on Sun
day of shooting scrape at the L U -
ranch On the north side in which
:Speck' Marsh, who is pretty we'll
known along the Yellowstone as a bad
man, was killed by Frank Howard, of
Miles City. The details of the affair
are meager, but from the guarded
statements of one of the participants
in the shooting it was learned that
howard, who is employed on the Lake
Toombs Cattle Co. IS ranch, and three
others, Harry keenan,. Smith White
and Dick HARRISON, all of Miles City,
went to the L U - ranch on Saturday
morning, taking quantity of whiskey
with them. After greetings were
passed all hands joined in a drink,
and the first round was followed by
others. "Speck" soon became noisy
and quarrelsome, and taking offense
at some fancied grievance, pulled a
pistol and fired several shots at Har-
bison. and White. HARRISON received
shot in the foot. The shooting took
place in the bunk house, and "Speck,"
after shooting HARRISON, started for
the main house, meeting Howard, who
was perfectly sober, half way. Ac-
cording to Howard, "Speck' warned
him that he was going to kill him and
started to draw his weapon, but was
too slow. Howard had his pistol out
In an instant and sent bullet crash
ing through his brain.
Frank Howard Immediately went to
Miles City where he gave himself up,
and is now in Jail there. The body
was brought in by the sheriff and cor
oner of Dawson county, and shipped
from Miles City to Glendive on Tues
day where the inquest was held. All
OF the participants came in and gave
their testin ony willingly. Howard is
confident of acquitta', as he claims
the killing was done in self defense.

The interstate commerce commission
has just issued pamphlet entitled
"The Preliminary Report of the In
come Account Of the Railways In the
United States For the Year Ending
June 30, 19OO," which contains some
exceedingly interesting and suggestive
figures. According to this statement
the aggregate earnings Of all the rail.
roads Of the country reached the enor.
nous total Of nearly $1,000, 100000, or
perhaps it could be more effectively
put to say that the railroads earned tn
one year a third more than the national
debt.
An analysis Of these figures shows
that the bulk Of the increase over pre-
vious years was in the freight business,
particularly on the long haul" roads,
and was mainly due to the prosperity
OF the country, measurably resultant
from the abundant crops In the west
and south and the ability Of the crop
producers to buy more merchandise,
thus giving the carrying companies
greatly increased business In moving
the crops to the manufacturing centers
and places of consumption and export
and In hauling manufactured goods
back to the agricultural producing see-
tions. The net profits of the railway
companies during the year covered by
the report are stated to have been near
~ $SO,O0O,OOO, a gain of one-third over
the previous year. Doubtless some
portion Of this immense profit was due
to that community Of interest" now
prevailing and steadily growing among
railway corporations, which greatly ve-
duces the cost of operations and Of
course enhances the profits n CORE
spending reduction is not made In car
rying rates. Such reduction, how
ever is not apparent
The tendency of railway corpora
tiOns, and indeed Of all corporate inter-
ests, toward consolidation is fully rec
Ognized. 1t is made strikingly ap-
parent by the railway combinations
which have been perfected during the
last few weeks, notably the Morgan,
Rockefeller, Hill and Hartman deals.
The inevitable result of these combina-
tions Is to vastly decrease the operat-
Ing expenses, while in SO far as the
consolidated roads have been hereto
fore competing lines there is an end to
that wholesome competition which Is
usually regarded as an essential factor
in the fair adjustment of rates for any
given service as well as for fixing the
prices Of commodities.
If the railroads last year made net
profits Of $SO,OOO.OOO as they did &C.
c0rding to the report of the interstate
commerce commission, the profits
henceforth must be vastly greater un-
der the same general conditions, as
they will naturally increase in the pro-
portion that the cost of operation Is
diminished by consolidation and the
earnings are increased by the elmina-
ton Of competition.
The community of interest" is un-
doubtedly a good thing for the railroad
companies. How will it affect the grain
grower, the stock raiser, the miner, the
umberman, the manufacturer and the
and ''pay the freight?"

The Arkansas Federation Of WOmeD's
Clubs recently declared in favor Of the
passion flower as the floral emblem
of the state. and a strong delegation
was sent to Little Rock to advocate
the proposition before the legislature,
but it failed to impress the members
of that body. The senate passed a
concurrent resolution declaring the ap-
pie blossom to be Arkansas flower
and the house by q vote Of 20 to 40
adopted the resolution. The feminine
choice OF flowers is usually correct,
but it is difficult to see what argument
could be advanced for the passion

choice was better, for of all 1.-The flow

that 1t was high time, by carrying out

said, was increased by the American
