One Man Seriously Wounded at a
Wyoming Shooting Match.

Wyoming Shooting Match.
Red Lodge, April 30.-News of a
serious shooting ARRAY comes to Red
Lodge from near Meeteetse, Wyo. Il
appears that trouble arose between
George T. Beck and the Mccoy broth
ers. Archie and John. about a cattle
deal Moreover. this trouble only
served to accentuate the bitterness
already existing as the result OF long
standing feud.
At about o'clock In the evening
the Mccoy brothers went to the Beck
home and called Beck out of the
house. At once they saluted him with
threatening language, and then open
ed fire in the darkness.
Beck was speedily reinforced by
j. NJ. and Johnnie Baldwin. who were
attracted to the scene by the opening
fuslade. They opened fire at once,
and the succeeding interchange of
shots would have done credit to a
Kentucky feud meeting. At least
thirty bullets sped back and forth.
A summary of the casualties of bat
tie revealed the fact that only one
of the attacking party was injured.
John Mccoy had to be carried home
with bullet in his thigh. and he is
reported in a serious condition with
slim prospect of recovery.
Archie Mccoy has been arrested
on complaint Of J. NJ. Baldwin and
accused of assault with intent to COM
init murder. He has been bound over
TO the district court.

seemed to forget all about the cold
when the president, bowling from side
to side, arrived.
A number of members of the diplo.
matte corps and few senators found
themselves without seats when they
arrived. The crowd having discover.

chairs, in that part OF the stand left
uncovered, cheerfully appropriated
some OF the dry ones reserved for dis

Protection for President.
Elaborate precautions TO guard the
president were made. The grand
stand was surrounded by soldiers OF
company C, first Missouri, who stood
at short intervals around a space 200
feet from the stand. AS an extra pre-
caution a strong rope was placed
around the stand. No one who could
not snow convincing credentials was
allowed inside.
Having secured seats. many of the
visitors. including former President
Cleveland, found that they could be
kept warm by standing up, and dis
carded chairs. They stood with their
hands plunged in their pockets and
their chins sunk under their collars
while the parade was passing. The
parade was concluded at Las.
Art Building Ceremonies.
The doors Of the liberal arts build.
ing were opened at l O'Clock and at
2:15, when President Roosevelt en-.
tered the building, he was greeted by
cheers of $4,000 people. At 2:25, when
the assemblage was called to order

SO great that his voice could not be
heard 90 feet from the rostrum. He

Government to Aid In Investigating
the Cause Of Spotted Fever.
The United States has responded
favorably to the appeal from the Mon
tana state board of health for assist
ance in determining the origin, cuse
and nature of the mysterious malady
known as spotted fever, which has
prevailed every spring for several
years in certain portions of the Bitter
Root valley, in Missoula and Ravalli
counties.
DR.. John r. Anderson, an expert of
the United States public health and
marine hospital service. arrived in
the city yesterday from the national
capital and reported TO DR.. A, r.
LOngeway. secretary of the state
board of health. He will leave this
morning for Missoula and will at once
enter upon has Investigations of the
disease.
Prof. Lewis B. Wilson, of the Uni
versity Of Minnesota. has been at Mis-
soula for several days, IN the employ
of the state board of health, and is
pursuing an investigation of the NAL
ady along the lines on which he in
augurated his researches last year.
DR.. Chowning, of Minneapolis, who
assisted Professor Wilson last season.
will arrive at Missoula in a few day
and act with Professor Wilson.
II is expected that DR.. Anderson
and Professor Wilson will collaborate
In their researches. but they are not
required to do so, and to secure GER
tain results, they will work independ-
emily, so that one may prove the 9th.
er's conclusions. DR.. Anderson will
report directly to his superiors at
Washington. but his reports will be
available TO the state BOARD.
There are now several cases OF
spotted fever" In the Bitter Root
and two cases have resulted fatally
this season. The disease will prob.
ably be prevalent at least until June,
and the three experts will doubtless
have ample opportunity to make in.
vestigations.
Professor Wilson last season ad.
vanced the theory that the disease
was transmitted by the bites of wood
ticks, and considerable confirmation
of this theory has been afforded by
the history of cases that have devel.
oped this spring.
The people OF ..e entire Bitter Root
valley, as well as physicians and scien.
lists Of the whole world, are greatly
interested In the Investigations. Not
only are many Of the people of the
infected. localities in great fear every
spring, but real estate. values in tue
entire Bitter Root valley have been
depressed, many people believing that
tn whole valley is infected by the
disease,-Helena Record.
