Great Falls, Mont, June 24.-As the result OF
q dispute over papers In land filing, Charles
Spaulding, prominent rancher near Cascade is
lying at the hospital in Great Falls with gum
shot wound in his left shoulder, from the effects
of which 1T is probable he will. die within the
next few hours and Clinton e. Walker, also a i
rancher IN the same locality, is in a dying con-
ditton; at the home of neiehbor with bullet
in his left lung.
The stories of the two men concerning the
shooting conflict. Walker, after the affair, ran
to the home of Wilson and fell in the doorway
In an exhausted condition. After recovering
somewhat he stated that Spaulding had come
to his house to demand the return of certain
papers necessary to proving up en- piece OF
land, accusing him of having stolen them.
Walker says he entered his house, ostensibly
fearing trouble.
He had scarcely reached the outside of the
house when he saw Spaulding holding Mrs.
Walker by the throat and pointing his revolver
at her head. In an instant Walker raised his
gun and shot Spaulding, the charge taking effect
in the shoulder.
Spaulding states that he went to Walkers
! house for the purpose of securing the papers
mentioned and that Walker denied having them.
| At the same time Mrs Walker approached him
| with huge butcher knife. Spaulding then
| struck Mrs. Walker to the ground and the same
instant Walker shot him in the shoulder: Spauld-
| ing brought his own gun into play and sent a
| SO CALDER bullet into Walkers body.
| Immediately after the shooting Spaulding left
| the Walker ranch and repaired to his own, where
| he arrested by Deputy Sheriff johnson and
a posse. He admitted the shooting and con-
sented readily to arrest, accompanying an Of
| fcer to this city. Altho suffering intense pain,
Spaulding rode without mnrmur from his ranch
! to Cascade, distance of nine miles, and tho
losing blood rapidly, in splendid condition
| up to the time he reached the hospital Suddenly
| he collapsed and completely lost his reason. At
Il late hour he raving maniac and 1t be-
came necessary to tie him to his bed and place
! a guard over him.
| Walker is about thirty three years OF age.
| and the son of the late Charles F. Walker, one
| of the old-time ranchers of Cascade county. His
| mother is Mrs. Anna Walker, state president Of
the Women's Christian Temperance Union.
Spaulding Is fifty-four years of age and has
been Cascade county for seventeen years He
has always been looked upon by his neighbors as
very eccentric, and it is said he was patient III
an insane asylum at one time.
