HELD o MURDER.
Robbers Of Harvesters Must Face
Serious Charge.

1t now develops that instead OF one
of the robbers ii. was n Of the har-
vesters whom the tran.ps assaulted
and robbed in the freight car between
Glendive and Wibaux one day last
week that was killed during the battle
between the two sets of men. This
fact was established by the reopened
inquest held on the body of the dead
man found in the car at Wibaux at
ter the fight.
The doubt that existed whether the
man came to his death from a blow
on the head or a shot through the
body caused the coroner, w. B. FOs-
ter, to reopen the inquiry. In COM
pany with Doctor r. E. Hathaway,
the county physician, the coroner
went to Wibaux last Tuesday and at
his direction the doctor made an ex-
animation of the body, which was
exhumea for that purpose. The in
vestigation settled the matter conclu-
siyely that a shot was the cause Of
death and it developed that the man
was one of those assaulted. The
bruises about the head, which it was
first believed killed the man, were
found to have been slight and not
sufficient to cause even serious in.
jury. In the opinion OF those who
conducted the examination tile tbruis-
es were the result of a fall, sustained
wsen the man fell, after having beer
shot.
AS there seems to be no longer any
doubt that the man was one of those
attacked by the tramps, the two men
arrested shortly after the fight are
now being held on the charge OF muir
der in the first degree. The original
charge was assault, as it was thought
that the dead man had been killed
by the harvesters in defending them
I selves against the tramps.

Latter Determined FIeecy Animals

Although not defending what they
consider their rights by means OF
the rife and six-shooter, as do their
neighbors across the range in north
ern Wyoming, the cattle owners OF
the West Rosebud and Upper Still
water country are none the less de-
termined in their efforts to preserve
certain territory against the encroach-
ment of men who persist in driving
sheep upon any and all parts of the
public domain.
For a number of years past all that
section OF grazing country in Carbon
and SWeetgrass counties south OF
what is generally known as Midnight
canyon on the Saltwater river has
been forbidden ground to sheep own
ers. Rarely in these years has there

ever, to the denuded condition of the
ranges throughout a wide area of coun-
try where sheep have been accustomed
to range, n or two owners conclud-
ed last week to invade the sacred
precincts oil the cattleowners. I'm
mediately following this move to drive
sheep across the dead line" there was
a hasty conference among a few OF
the settlers no ayned cattle. In a
few minutes it was decided to send out
riders and warn the whole community
OF the approach of the enemy, the
sheepman. In less than "A hours up
wards of 100 determined men met at
a given point and proceeded under
the guidance of coOl-headed leaders
to notify the owners of sheep and
their herders that an infringement up
on what the cattleowners and settlers
considered their rights would not be
tolerated. The sheep and camp out
fits were forcibly moved, but in a
quiet and %peaceable manner There
was no attempt on the part of the
c~attleowners to do any person injury
OF destroy property, but the men who
gathered to move out lei they con
sidered intruders upon sacred ground
were one the less determined in
carrying out their purpose in every
detail.
According to the latest reports re-
ceived from the seat of the trouble
a few days ago. and which eliminated
in no serious results, there is no indi-
cation Of any further trouble ON the
range in that locality this season.

TIMELY CHANGE in WEATHER
HELPS MATERIALLY.
EARLY APPLES RIPE HERE
Yellowstone Among the Counties Send
Ing Encouraging Reports to
Section Director Hayes.

Timely change in the weather all
over the state has materially improved
the prospects for a good harvest OF
small grain and potatoes. The yield
u hay in some localities is below
b average, while in others it is av-
erage and better. Ravages by grass
hoppers have greatly damaged the
range in some parts, but at last ac-
counts the pests had not injured grain.
In his bulletin for last week Section
Director Hayes reports as follows:
THE first part of the week was
rather cool, and the nights were es-
pecially cool, but during the last few
days higher temperatures prevailed
and brought the week up to the nor
NAL. Afew light showers fell in va
rious parts of the state, but, for the
most part the weather was clear.
Conditions have been favorable
for the ripening of grain, and spring
winter wheat harvest is general, and
threshing has begun in Flathead and
Missoula counties. Oats are turning
and in some localities the harvest has
begun; the yield will be somewhat bet
ter than was anticipated earlier in
the season.
THE second crop of alfalfa is very
good; it is well advanced, and at some
points the harvest is practically over.
Haying is progressing rapidly; the
crop lis fairly good in the southwest
ern counties, but is below the aver
age elsewhere. The range is in fair
condition, except in the southeastern
counties.
Corn is doing very well, and the
potato crop lis unusually good"
Reports by Counties.
Yellowstone is among the counties
that have reports in the bulletin. The
correspondent writes that early grain
is being harvested and that the sec
ond crop of alfalfa is about all in
stack and showing a large yield. Corn
and late grains were doing well and
early apples were ripe at the time Of
writing. The range was dry and
grasshoppers thick in some places
With the exception of Cascade and
Teton, all the counties reported dry
weateher. In the counties excepted
local showers were frequent, but did
not materially interfere with harvest
ing. The range was Sill green, but
getting dry. The potato crop promised
we'll, but all ether crops we're short.
dry; wheat harvest we'll advanced.
Cutting of second crop of alfalfa under
way by some which is good, where
it has not been kept back by grass
hoppers; the grasshoppers have de,
stroyed the range, but have not done
much damage to crops, except in
a few places, and now they appear
to be moving toward the mountains
for better feed"
In Meagher county ripe grain was
damaged considerably by hail. Hay
ing was we'll advanced, with NJ
heavy rains to retard it.
Valley reported that wild hay was
still green and growing rapidly, az
were many of the cultivated crops
only a very little harvesting having
been done, and then only in certain
localities.

UNDER cnA8s4 OF B1aAMY.
Defendant Pleads Ignorance of Provi-
sions cf.the Law.

Henry Garner, former resident of Vir-
ginia, received a call from Detectives Nc
Nance and Father yesterday afternoon
at his place of employment in the railroad
yards in South Washington. The officers
showed him a warrant that had been is
sued for his arrest to answer charge Of
bigamy. The young. man frankly told the
officers that he has two wives, and made
an effort to explain that he was not wholly
to blame for his second marriage. when he
appeared before a minister with Widow
Lilly Bradshaw and gave his name as
Henry Payne.
Garner came to this city seventeen years
ago, and has been employed as a car
cleaner. In 1894. 1t is alleged, Miss Carrie
Franklin became the lawful wife Of the
Virginian. and he is said to have deserted
her five years later. after the death of
their second child. He became acquainted
with Mrs. Bradshaw after she had been a
widow short time and two months ago
he was married to her under the name
stated. A friend of the first wife learned
OF the second marriage and gave the in
formation to the former wife. Then an in
Vesugation was made and Garner. alias
Payne was informed yesterday of the re-
suit.
The information came to him in about as
unpleasant way as he could imagine. 1t
was the nrst time he had ever been arrest
ed, and he spent the night in a cell at the
fourth precinct crying. Nobody called to
see him, and he felt that he had been de-
serted by everybody who had ever been
friendly with him. Being an utter stranger
in police circles the man hardly knew what
to do.
Its case of ignorance" he said to

He added that he was afraid there was
something wrong about getting married
