Marriage Certificate Long Searched
for is Found in the Vaults of
the Register of Deeds.
FIND BRINGS FORTUNE TO MANY
Mckenzie Heirs in This State Will Inherit
the Luck of One of Their Number.

The discovery of the marriage GER
tiicate Of Samuel Edwards Allspat
Mckenzie, whose wedding was cele
brated in this city on June 10, 1851, is
said to have furnished the evidence
which will make hundreds of McKen-
zies in this and the surrounding
country wealthy people. For years
the heirs to an old continental estate
have had representatives. searching all
over the globe for a record of the mar
rage but success was never awarded to
them until yesterday, when d. Nc
Kenzie, of Co1umb ia county, made a
chance visit to Kenosna and calling at
the office of the Register of Deeds
managed to find the coveted paper and
secure a transcript of it. Little is
known of the value of the Mckenzie
estate. Mr.. Mckenzie was very un-
communicative in regard to the heir
ship and the fortune involved, but he
stated that the finding of the GER
tificate would result in his family
being BILE to make a valid claim to
fortune valued at more than So, 800, 900.
Mr.. Mckenzie walked into the Office
of the Register of Deeds yesterday
morning and in playful manner
asked the register if he had any record
of the marriage of Edwards and ALL
spat, which was supposed to have
taken place about 1851. The register,
having no accurate records of this
date, pulled down chance volume and
it seemed that chance directed his
work for the first volume opened
showed the index to the missing Ger
tifcate. Mckenzie was almost beside
himself with JOY bat when the records
were found it was discovered that they
were badly scattered. After search
of two hours through the old records
the Edwards Mckenzie record was
finally found.
Mckenzie in speaking of the matter
stated that during the last two years he
had travelled thousands Of miles
searching for the missing marriage
certificate. The Edwards family were
formerly we'll known English family
c1andestine one. After the death of
the head OF the family large fortune
was left behind and the McKenzies
were never able to prove their claim to
portion of it on account of the miss
ing record of the marriage of Miss
Mckenzie and Edwards. It was sup
posed that the marriage had been per-
formed abroad and with this in view
Mckenzie travelled through England,
Scotland and Wales and many con-
tinenta1 countries seeking in the arch
ives of the different countries for some
trace of the marriage.
The man absolutely refused to speak
of the matter and stated that nothing
would be said in regard to the great
find until it had been properly proven
that the Mckenzie heirs were rightfu1
heirs to the money in question.

Musical Occupation.

A new way for women of musical
ability to earn money has been brought
to light through the desire Of some
students of vocal and instrumental
music to make rapid progress in their
studies. This way is to act as coach
between lessons. One woman who has
carefully studied the method Of a we'll
known teacher of vocal music assists
several Of his pupils with their prac-
tice work She is recommended by
the teacher, and consequently finds her
path smoother than it might other
wise be, and her authority unQues-
toned. Her method is to accompany
the student when practicing exercises
and songs, carefully noting errors Of
tone production in the former, and
tine, rhymth. expression and phras-
ing in the latter. Some young women
who are advanced students of the pi-
ano and pupils of leading instructors
are earning good sums by coaching
children between piano lessons. The
coach attends to the daily practice of
the pianist Chicago Journal.

Burlington Basket Ball Players Defeat
Kenosha Players by Large Score.
The Kenosha and Burlington High
Schools had a little argument at bas-
ket ball at the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium
Friday night, and when the argument
was over the decision was large one
in favor of the visitors. Indeed it was
the hardest defeat ever experienced by
a Kencsha team. When the Burling-
ton boys came into the arena they
were greeted with cries of "Rubes,"
and the crowd sang when ''Reuben

little athletes got down to playing
basket ball they made the Kenosha
High School players look like the pro-
verbal thirty cents and the local team
was fortunate to get out of the game
with a score of As to IA in favor of the
Burlington team.
The Burlington team made enough
points in this first half of the game to
win, and in the second half they sim
ply made monkeys of the Kenosha
players. At the end of the first half
the score stood IS to in favor of Bur
1ington.

nit that Burlington has the strongest

Harlem. Mont. April 1.-THE recent
killing of William j. Allen by Charles
Perry at the Coburn ranch in this county.
adds another to the many affairs Of this
KIND that have taken place in the vi
entity or the Little Rocky Mountains, be-
ginning with the shooting Of Pike Ian
ousky in a Curry boys mix up some ten
years ago. In the last year James Winter
was mysteriously shot from ambush as
ne stepped to his back door and no trace
OF MS murderer has been found. 1t is the
theory OF the officers that the same gang
that held up the Great Northern train
and robbed the express car some sixty
miles north Of the scene OF the Winter
killing, picked Winter off, as it occurred
shortly after, and Winter is supposed to
heve been marked by the Curry gang,
who are reputed to be in the robber out
MT. While the recent shooting has no
apparent connection with the other muir
ders. some Of the friends of Winter seem
to be uneasy and it is not plain yet what
connection there may be.
Charles Perry, who shot and killed
William J. Allen, is half breed. He is a
graduate Of a South Dakota Indian school
and for some years has owned and con-
Quoted trading store on the Fort Bel
KNAPP Indian reservation. He has been
looked upon by the Indians as leader in
their sports, has enjoyed their confidence,
and has done iourishing business. He
is also the owner Of many cattle.
Perry and Allen are relatives, and there
was some evidence given on the cor
oner's inquest to show that threats had
been made by the dead man towards
Perry; that the two men met by agree
ment at the Coburn ranch in the hope Of
settling their differences. One Joe Ganty
was also present by agreement, to act as
a witness. The Coburns seem to have
felt that trouble was brewing and en-
deaycred to have the men settle their diff
fiCulties outside. Perry arrived at Co.
burns first and was in the Office at the
time Allen came. Allen, on discovering
Perry, spoke some words to him, and ad-
yanced on him, with his hand behind him.
Perry at once drew his gun and shot Allen
twice, killing him instantly. When the
dead man was picked up, a revolver was
found In his clothing, but there was no
evidence that he had drawn his weapon.
Allen was white man, connected with
the sub-agency on the Belknap reserya-
tiOn.
Perry has been apprehended, but has
been released on bail and will be tried at
the May term Of the district court at Fort
Benton.
