Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1901-03-13

This week another cowardly murder
is chronicled in Fergus county. The
killing Of Frank Ilartzell appears To
have been carefully planned andstealth-
ily executcd and. while the officers say
they have no clue ut the present time.
it is certainly to he hoped that they
will be unrelenting in their search for
something which will lead to the arrest
and appropriate punishment of the
guilty party. And that recalls to mind
that Murderer Howell is still in Jail in
Fergus county. Possibly some people
have forgotten it-ccrtainly the officers
have-but thisman was adjudged guilty
a year ago of the murder of Thos. Roz-
ling on Careless creek in the summer of
lsgs. He shot his victim in the back as
the result of n trining quarrel over
somebody else's business. lie secreted
himself and later fied. The officers be-
ing unable to locate him, private parties
gave of their purse for the hiring of
detectives and finally the man was run
down in Canada and brought TO trial in
Fergus county. His defense was about
the poorest ever presented To a jury on
the murder trial and no trouble was
encountered in reaching a verdict. He
was sentenced to he hanged. A new
trial was moved and, being refused,
notice Of appeal was given, although
AT the time the opinion was freely ex-
pressed that there was no hope of a re-
versal, only delay being desired.
Months have passed and we are in.
formed that no appeal has ever been
perfected and that any day the officers
of this state may secure the re-sentenc-
ing of the prisoner and his just punish
ment. So long as they do not do this
no move will be made by the defense.
They would have been only too glad
to have exchanged a death sentence for
imprisonment in the county Jail for life.
Hardly a paper can be picked up but
that contains an account of a lynching,
and the cause may be found in the de-
lays of the courts. II Howell be inno-
cent of the crime of killing Rozzling he
is entitled to go free. IL, as the jury
decided, he committed an unwarranted
and cowardly murder he should bepun-
shed and without further delay.

while agriculture lsborers--that H. those

OF agricultural workers in the United

The Gossip.
The Autos Fntnre.

The bicycle was at one time a novelty
and a luxury, but the high price was not
due 90 the fact that the manufacturers
desired 10 make excessive profits. Special
machinery had TO be purchased I'm order
TO make the machines at all: and the
starting OF an entirely new industry
would have been impossible unless such
prices were charged. II seems evident
that the present prices of the automobile
are more reasonable than were the prices
OF the early bicycles. IL Is always pos
sible TO make a cheap automobile, bit
this intention is not held by any reputable
manufacturer OF automobiles TODAY
Cheap automobiles will not last, even IN
the hands OF a person who knows how
TO give them proper attention. Machin-
cry must be of the best TO stand, not
only the wear and tear caused by the
rough roads, but the abuse which IL IL
almost sure to receive when IL gets into
hands which will not operate II carefully
or give il the necessary attention.
IL IL hardly necessary 10 predict the
future of the automobile. and the dues-
tion as to whether IL will supersede horses
is by no means an important one. The
automobile is not fad or plaything
although probably a large percentage Of
the present owners have merely taken it
mp on account OF its novelty. There Is
no doubt that the bicycle was largely
used At one tlmc as a fdu, eul IL mas
now come TO be the boon OF millions of
workingmen. 1t appears that the demand
for bicycles is as strong as ever. only
a different class of people are employing
them.
As time goes on. automobiles OF all
types will undoubtedly show material
Improvement, although radical changes
are hardly TO be expected IT must be
remembered i'm this connection that al
though the automobile Is novel, II merely
consists of the application of well known
and tried devices TO a road carriage, the
combination forming, indeed. strict
innovation. The first few years OF the
automobile industry in this country have
shown a remarkable demand for motor
vehicles. So far. the greater part OF the
machines have been for pleasure pur-
poses This demand Is not likely 10
decrease. for with the improvement OF the
roads automobile touring will become
even more popular than IL has been.
As to the commercial importance OF the
automobile IL can he said that IL Is al
ready a boon TO physicians, and neces-
sty 10 many business houses. As q
method OF transporting passengers or
freight. IL has unlimited possibilities. -
