TRIED TO Use A WINCHESTER
But Was Too Slow the Trigger and Fell Pierced by Two
Bulets.--He had Stolen Stock from
Neighbor.

Lewistown, Mont, Jan. PA re-
port reached here from Gilt Edge to-
day of a fatal shooting affray be-
tween deputy sheriff and horse
thief, which occurred near Edgewa-
ter, in the eastern part of Fergus
county yesterday, and resulted in the
death of the latter.
1t seems that man named Bud Ty-
Ter stole team of horses from VIM.
Busch, a rancher, and started with
them toward Edgewater, near which
place Tyler had small cabin which
he called home.
AS soon as Busch learned of the
theft, he started one of his sheep
herders. a man named King on the
the trail of Tyler. 1t is reported that
the latter stopped at ranh house in
the course of his flight and made the
statement that he would never be
taken alive.
Day before Yesterday Mr. Busch
went to Gilt Edge and swore out a
warrant for Tyler's arrest, the paper
being placed in the hands of Deputy
Sheriff Edward Martin.
The officer took a man named Den
gle and King the sheepherder, with
him and proceeded to TyIer's place
to arrest him. They were travelling
in a spring wagon, Dengle and Mar
tin sitting on the front seat and
King in the back.

but it is not managed in his name.
1t is in the fashionable section of the
city. Cooper. who was interested in
various lines of business, was con-
sidered one of the wealthiest men in
st. Louis.
Developments in connection with
the murder as the day progressed
were sensational in the extreme. It
became known that Strothers was in
need of some money, $500 or more,
to raise his home from a mortgage
sale. Strothers, however, denies this,
with a statement that Mr.. Cooper,
whom he had known and served for
a long time, had promised to save
his home for him. He also claims that
Mr.. Cooper had promised him that in
the event of the sale of the bath
house, he, Strothers, should be taken
care of either by being retained in his
position or by being given another
Questioned as to why Mr.. Cooper
should make provision for him, the
negro told startling sensational
story of the alleged true character of
the place of which he had been the
trusted custodian, and the story was
in some degree corroborated by a
statement from the police that they
had been making secret investiga-
titions and were going to raid the
place and close it up.
Strothers stoutly maintains his in
nocence, but the police believe that
they have the right man in custody

MAY BUY PANAMA CANAL.
Commission Believed to Have Made
Such RECOMMENDATION.

Commission Believed to Have Made
Such Recommendation.
Washington, Jan. 23-The supple
mental report of the isthmian canal
commission on the proposition of the
Panama Canal company to dispose of
its property to the United States for
$40,000,000 was delivered to Presi-
dent Roosevelt this evening. The
members of the commission refuse to
discuss the nature of the report, and
like reticence, was maintained at the
White house, but it was stated on ex-
cellent, authority that the report
unanimously recommended that the
offer of the Panama company be ac-
cepted
The report, it is stated is very vol
luminous, going into all phases of the
question and attempting to meet the
objections that legal complications
will arise out of the purchase or that
there will be any international diff
culties should the deal be consum-
mated. The report was completed
about o'clock this evening, and after
being signed by the members of the
commission, was carried by Admiral
Walker, chairman of the commission
to Secretary Hay, who transmitted it
to the president. The latter will send
the report to congress the first of
the week, probably Monday.
The report goes fully into the steps
which must be taken in order to in
sure a perfect title to the United
States, for, in addition to the present
Panama Canal company the old or
ganization and the Colombian govern
ment must be reckoned with. The
report finds, however, that the new
company can give a clear title. It is
stated that when the commission
made it's recent report favoring the
Nicaraguan canal, no offer to sell to
this government had been made by
the Panama company. The offer of
SAC, 100000 made in behalf of the COM
pany by M. Lampre, it is said,
changed the situation completely.

TO VISIT THREE CITIES

j Washington, Jan. 24-It was an
nounced today at the state depart
ment that some of the details of the
reception of Prince Henry of Prussia
in Washington had been worked out.
AS the result of conference today
between Assistant Secretary Hill and
resident Mcfarland of the board of
uIstrict commissioners, it was de-
of the municipal government would
take in the ceremonies.
1t was announced that upon the ar
rival of the train bearing the prince
and his suite to the city, he will be
met by the district commissioners,
who will cordially welcome him to
Washington. This welcome will be
almost informal in character and as
simple as possible.
The commissioners will be pre-
sented to the prince by a member of
the German embassy, and they will
bid him welcome to the capital of the
nation. There VIII be no set speeches
and, as it was remarked today, the
whole thing will be over in five min
utes.
The prince will then be escorted to
his carriage and the commissioners
will escort him to the German en-
bassy, where he will be entertained
while in Washington.
The remainder of the escort will
consist of the marine band and a pla-
toon of police. Then will follow the
mlltary contingent made up of cav
airy, artillery and infantry of the
nited States troops stationed
Washington.
1t is expected that the procession
will be led by the general of the
army and that that the chief officers
of the army and navy will be repre-
sented.

ments for the visit. of Prince Henry

RAILROAD
SITUATION
James N. Hill Tells of Work
to Be Done.
MAY BUILD CUTOFF
The Crows Nest Coal will Be First
Hauled to Butte via Great Falls
and Shelby Junction.

The statement of j. N. Hill in Spo-
kane this week in reference to the
railroad situation in this county will
set at rest many of the rumors that
have been prevalent during the past
fall and winter. On the whole, the
people of Kalispell have no reason
to be down hearted over the present
prospects, and the declarations of Mr..
Hill should go a long way toward
clearing the situation.
In opening up new territory, it
is first necessary to ascertain the
amount of business that can be deyel-
oped from that territory before figur-
ing on the profits that might accrue
by building a new route for it." said
Vice President James N. Hill of the
Great Northern last evening in an
sWer to an inquiry whether the Great
Northern would build the proposed
cutoff between Kalispell and Jocko,
on the Northern Pacific, to handle
the coal from the Crows Nest field.
Continuing, Mr.. Hill said: I'VE are
AtON CuildAIIS d lluS W Iu6 CIOW s
Nest coal fields, which will give the
Great Northern through line from
the coal mines to the smelters at
Butte. We will first determine
whether the coal cannot be hauled
over our own line before deciding to
divide Up the revenue with another
line.
We believe that the Grow S Nest
coal can be delivered at Butte via
Shelby Junction and Great Falls at
a profit equal to what would accrue
by delivering it to the Northern Pa.
cific at Jocko. Empties have to be
carried from Butte to Great Falls
anyhow, SO that the expense of haul
ing coal via Shelby Junction will not
be so great as it looks on the map
\ es, it is true that the Great North
ern would have down grade haul
via Jocko, leaving the heavy work for
the Northern Pacific, but it is proba-
BILE that the latter road would want
that fact recognized when it came to
a division of the rate.
while surveys are being made for
additional cutoffs and extensions,
there will be no more railway con-
struction until the lines now in the
course of construction are completed.
The Great Northern now has mapped
out all the work it will do this season.
Aside from the building of the Wash
ington and Great Northern branch
from Marcus to Republic and the
building of the branch line of the
Crows Nest coal fields from Jen-
nings. Mont, we have about 40 miles
of road under construction in the
eastern district. and will standardize
the Great Falls & Canada line from
Great Falls to the international boun-
dary during the coming spring and
summer. This, together with the i'm
provements we are making on the
main line west of the Rocky noun
tains, will constitute about all the
work we care to undertake just now

New York, Jan. 24-The time for
holders of the common stock of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company
and the stock of the Great Northern
Railroad company to deposit their
holdings with the Northern Securities
ties company, pursuant to the plan
of settlement of the trouble last
spring, expired at 8 o'clock this after
noon. Officials of the Northern Sc
curities company declined to give out
any particulars of the amount OF
stock of both companies deposited
with or purchased by the Northern
Securities company under the agree
ment made. 1t was learned, however,
that practically all of the Northern
Pacific stock had been deposited.
According to the Commercial Ad-
vertiser, a fairly liberal percentage
OF the Northern Pacific stock had not
been deposited with the Northern Sc
curities company, because holders of
1t in the northwest and along the line
of the road preferred to retain their
stock pending the outcome of the
