INTENT To STAY
Possible Tragedy at Depot is
AVertsd.
R. [. SHAW FEARED MURDER
WARNED OF THREATS, HE
DoDGEs NAN WAITING THERE.

A possible double tragedy was nipped
in the bud at the oregon Short Line
depot late Friday night by the vigil
ance of r. L. Shaw, who with his wife
was deferred on account Of the Incl
dent from leaving on the 1850 train
for their home at Dillon. Mont, after
a sojourn in this city since Tuesday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shaw succeeded in board
ing yesterday mornings train unmo-
Tested by the man, who sWOre he
would kill Mr.. Shaw before he left
town.
AS the story is related, M. Shaw
was bounded at his hote By a man
whose identity is not disclosad ana who
demanded $3.50, alleged to De due. In
the presence Of witnesses the stranger
was emphatically told that nothing
was owing to him by Mr.. Shaw. This
angered the man of cowboy appear
ance, and it is stated that he declared
he would resort to more persuasive
measures to collect some cash. The
stranger, it is said. learned when Mr.
Shaw intended going back to Dillon
and his threats were so open that Mr.
Shaw became informed of the mans
intentions.
Stranger Waiting at Depot.
Summoning a carriage, Mr.. Shaw
and his wife were driven to the depot
in company with Julian HOutz and
another friend. Sure enough, the
stranger was there, too, walking up
and down the platform in what APP
peared to be a desperate mood. Mel
ther Mr.. Shaw nor his wife got out Of
the carriage, which was stationed in
the shadows of the depot building
across the street.
1t had been reported that the
stranger was armed and intended to
kill the Dillon visitor, and Mr.. HoutZ
got the ear of the depot policeman
long enough to have the patrol wagon
summoned. In the meantime the train
had been held ten minutes. but the
coast not having been cleared as ex-
/ pected, it left without the two pas
sengers for the north.
When the patrol wagon arrived the
stranger was searched, but no gun was
found on him. Without being armed
he could not be arrested unless a war
rant had been issued. and this had
not been done.
Letter Tells Murderous Intent.
II is stated, however, that a letter
was found on the mans person, telling
of his intention to kill Shaw and then
/ to take his own life.
Mr.. Shaw is a well known wool grow
I er of Montana. He was recently mi
tiated into the Elks' lodge in this city
1 and is known by a large circle here
/ Il is said that the man who made the
/ threats upon Mr.. Shaw's life is a COM
/ parative stranger in this city and that
/ he formerly had some business con-
nection with Mr.. Shaw, to whom, it is
/ claimed, he is really indebted.

When the blizzard swept over that
part of the state Dec. II, he was with
a companion in charge of about 5000
sheeep. The wind caught up the snow
and blew it with such terrific force
that no man could face it. AS night
came on Crandall became separat ted
from his companion. He called several
times, but the roaring of the wind
drowned his voice so that it could not
be heard a short distance away.
Forced to Keep Walking.
He tried to go toward the camp. but
the storm drove him back. There was
nothing for him to do except to keep
walking with the wind or else lie down
to die. He kept moving. The sheep
scattered, and he could see many Of
them dropping to die of cold and ex-
haustion. He was without food, but ne

certain death awaited him If he lost

without fire to warm him, and wish
out exact knowledge of where he was,

During all that time he was blinded
