BRAWL AT BILLINGS
Quarrel Over Settlement of a Liquor
Account-Ranch Hand Kills
the Bartender.
Especial to Inter Mountain,)

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Billings, April pa shooting scrape
occurred at w. A. Wells roadhouse
about fifteen miles south of Billings last
night at about o'clock, in which Ben
Davis manager of the house, and the
bartender was almost instantly killed.
Seth Dix, young ranch hand, is in Jail,
held for the crime.
The trouble arose over a charge that
Davis had made against Dix couple of
days previously for drinks, the latter
claiming that Davis had charged him, too
much, as he had charged another man
considerably less than half than what he
did Dix for the same number of drinks
One word led to another, when Davis
made the remark that he would give Dix
his change ''out of this" here pulling
out revolver. Dix did not wait for any
thing further. but WHIPPED out his gun
and shot Davis the mullet entering the
forehead just over the right eye, killing
Davis almost instantly.
Dix Immediately left the place, but was
soon Overtaken and brought to Billings
and turned over to the officers by John
Smith. who had been standing just out
side the house and overheard the remark
of Davis which led up to the trouble.
The coroner Immediately impanelled a
jury and went out to the scene of the
trouble, and the inquest will be held this
afternoon at o'clock. Dix has only been
in this country since last March, coming
here direct from his home in Terre Haute
Ind, where his parents reside. He work
ed on the Forester ranch for about a
month, but quit on Monday and went to
work for John Smith, who runs a road
ranch about twenty miles south Of this
city Davis is well known in Billings,
having worked around several of the sa-
looms previous to going to work at Wells
road house.

When the end came yesterday he was
attended by a physician and surrounded
by several friends. Owing to the sud-
denness of the death. it was thought ad-
Nisable, to notify Coroner Johnson. but
that official concluded. after an investi
cation, that death was clearly due to ma
tural causes and will hold no inquest.

that. as many pugilsts have been known
to go te sleep in the ring in the midst of
desperate struggle.
After announcing that he ate very
little meat, sometimes refraining from
that article of food for a week at time,
and that he never used tobacco or liquor
when in training, Jeffries was asked as
to his attitude toward water.
Absorbing Question Of Thirst.
The interesting scene that followed is
described as follows:
"Jeffries, with a look at the doctors
expressing assurance that they would
understand him Immediately, look that
suggested slight professional COM
radeship, said: DO you know that 1 find
that all my thirst is here?' He put his
hand on his throat. so I take only a
swallow or two and spit the rest of the
water out. If didn't do that I would
drink three or four glasses of water
every time I was thirsty"
Advantages of Prunes.
Having exhausted the subject of thirst,
the boilermaker, getting more and more
confidential. told the doctors that he
ate great many prunes and other
kinds of fruit when he was in training.
He said that he drank a great deal of
prune juice
There has always been a strong sus-
picion that Jeffries was suffering from
an overdose of prunes the night he failed
to stop Bob Armstrong in ten rounds.
However, as the champion endorses
prunes as an adjunct tot training work
they will no doubt become popular.
Never Gets Nervous.
When the doctors had felt the pugil-
lists pulse, the champion discanted o.:
his nerve. He told them that he could
never get nervous, although he had often
tried to. He would even sleep just before
the fight and wake up just in time to go
irto the ring"
1t may be that Jeffries never gets

have had a chill the night he sat in the
ring at Coney Island waiting to face old
man FitzsmmOns.

For Exercise Why Not Walkf

FOR EXefCIBc why NOt "&AAs
The best exercise in the world Is
walking.
A person who knows how to walk in
diligently can get along without
gymnasium. No other form Of exercise
brings so many muscles into play and
develops them so normally. The most
popular games are those in which
walking forms prominent part. Golf.
croquet and in sense cricket and even
bicycling merely give an excuse for
walking.
Every one knows how to walk prop
erly. 1t is because of carelessness that
so many walk badly. The body should
be carried erect, the chest we'll out, the
head back, while the arms should
swing freely at the sides. The pace
should be regulated to ones strength.
Every one should walk fast enough
and far enough to get the body in a
comfortable glow. To get the best re-
suits from walking one should give his
undivided attention to it. In other
words, he should walk for the pleasure
of it and not carry worries with him.
Excessive walking is injurious. New
err walk just after heavy meal or aft
ter violent exercise. And after q walk
it Is we'll to rest for 10 or Is minutes
before taking up severe mental work.
