this place, on Wednesday night.
When he left the house he was armed
with a new revolver and his 5000
Winchester, and had a plentiful sup
ply of both ammunition and provis-
ions. Tracy sent Johnson to Tacoma
to purchase the revolver and ammuni-
ton. He threatened to eXterminate
the Johnson family on the least sign
of treachery. The murderer seemed
tagged out, and talked very little
about himself or his plans. While at
the house he spent nearly all his
time watching for his pursuers. He
left the house after dark, headed
either for Seattle or the Palmer cut
off. Not only did Tracy force John
son to buy the revolver but he made
him borrow the necessary money.
Johnson went to Tacoma and secured
the weapon without sounding any
note of warning to the authorities.

was probably a millionaire at the
time of his death. He had a magnifi-
cent residence and grounds in South
Missoula, near the university.

AMONG STRANGERS.
Mrs. Marion CarIin and Three Chill
dren in Want

A case of destitution that is worthy
the attention of the county commits
sioners was revealed in Kalispell this
week by the application of Mrs. Mar
ion Carlin for assistance in reaching
her home at Osakis, MINI. Her
Story is pathetic one and proves her
to be deserving of aid. She was for
merly living at Rossland, B. c., where
she was working to support her three
children, the oldest only about seven
years of age, when they were stolen
from her by her husband, whom she
had separated from several months
before. Her husband was drunkard,
and being unable to stand his brutal
treatment she left him and went to
work to support herself
After her children were, stolen from
her, Mrs. Carlin started in search of
them and finally located them in an
orphan asylum in Spokane. She went
to that city and after much trouble
succeeded in regaining the children
and then started for her home in
Osakis, Mimi, where her relatives
reside. She arrived in Kalispell,
Wednesday night, with only $1.25 in
her possession, and that has now
been spent, leaving her among per.
feet strangers without cent to pro-
vide the necessities of life for her
young children.
The matter was laid before Chair,
man Griffin of the board of county
commissioners. but he refused to do
anything that would aid her, as he
said she did not belong to Flathead
county.

At Johnstown, Pennsylvania by An Explosion
In the Cambria Works
HALF THE men ARE PROBABLY DEAD
The Tunnel Miles Long and the Poisonous Gases Make
Rescue Work Slow--Two Miners Only Escape From
The Shaft, Reaching Entrance to Fall Overcome

Johnstown, Pa, July 10.-Two hun
dred coal miners were entombed to-
day by an explosion in the Cambria
Steel company's coal mine, whose
main shaft operates within the limits
of this city, and 125 are probably
dead.
The mine is one OF the largest in
the count"v, and today 500 men were
at work there. When the news of
the disaster reached here it spread
like wildfire and in less than a quar-
ter of an hour, the point in the open
space at the junction of the Cone
maugh and Stony creek, was crowded
with weeping women and children.
Brave attempts at rescue were made.
Mining Engineer Moore and his as
sistant, G, Pross, tried to make some
headway toward the imprisoned min
ers, three and one-half miles away.

Joe Meyers, miners, who were in the
mine at the time of the explosion, but
who escaped unhurt, went back two
miles to see what assistance could be
rendered, but they, too, were driven
back by the damp, and reached the
Threshold just in time to fall uncon-
scious. Then the attempt of any res
cue from the main opening was given
up, and it was shifted to Mill creek,
i've miles from the city. The rescu-
ers were followed by hundreds Of rel
atives and friends. 1t was still be-
lieved that all the miners at work
were affected.
Business in the city was practically
at a standstill, and all went out to be
of assistance, to watch the scene or

wife and little girl. At the top of the
hill his emergency brake gave way
and the horses were going some when
the driver discerned the still carri-
age ahead. 1t was impossible to
slow up, and Mrs. French could not
clear the road in time, so the vehi-
cles mixed up. Both carriages were
badly smashed, bat by good luck
none of the occupants were hurt in
the mixup, and they proceeded to
console one another after the horses
had been quieted.

North Dakota Rancher Is Shot Three
Times in Head
BY A DESIGNING HORSE THIEF
A Faithful Dog Leads Friends 10 the
Scene of the Murder-Farm Hand
Suspected of Killing the Rancher
and Making Away With the Live
Stock.

Grand Forks, N. D., July 10.-One
of the most cold blooded murders in
the history of the state was commit
ted Saturday night, the victim being
Thomas Walsh, a prominent farmer,
residing about three miles from Will
low City Owing to the fact that he
lived alone, some distance from any
neighbors, the terrible crime was not
discovered until last evening, when
the faithful dog of the deceased ap-
peaTed at the home of his nephew.
Ills queer actions aroused the suspi-
cion that something was wrong. The
nephew at once went to his uncle's
house and found the body with three
bullet holes in his head. The motive
of the murder was undoubtedly horse
stealing, as Walsh's horses, harness
and wagon are missing. Suspicion is
directed toward farm laborer
named Ross, who was employed by
a neighbor named Cudhie, and who
disappeared a few days ago Prior
to that he had endeavored to induce
another man to go west with him
and engage in the horse stealing busi-
ness. The officers are doing every
thing to discover some trace of the
murderer, and large reward IS Of
fered for his capture.

PLAY HOUSES DARK.
No Money in Variety Shows Denied
Box Rustling Privileges.

S'N 'aASS'''S tihNiiOSSSs
Last Sunday night was the last
night of the Kalispell variety shows,
and Monday night the usual crowd
at the different theaters were disap-
pointed by the non-appearance of
their dubious favorites. When Mayor
Logan's order forbidding box rustling
went into effect some time ago, the
managers of the shows were given
to understand that their places of
business would not be molested as
long as they cut out the rustling
that was their chief source of income
They made but feeble attempts to
evade the order, and it was a fore
gone conclusion that sooner or later,
they would have to shut down.
Monday night darkness reigned on
the stages of the two shows, and the
usual crowd who had gathered to lis
ten to the warbling of the song birds
and the turns of the male performers
was disappointed. 1t is said that the
shows Wi, be reopened September /,
but Mayor Logan stated that it is
very doubtful if they would again be
allowed to run, as it was much easier
to prevent them reoponing than to
close them down after they were once
in running order.
