\ DISTRESSING Gun ACCIDENT.
Little Herbert Lewis Instantly Killed
Wednesday Evening.

One of the most distressing gun ac-
Montana occurred Wednesday e
ing at the Lewis ranch on the Missouri
river about fifteen miles west OF this
city, where the family of H. s. Lewis
had been camping the past two weeks.
Mrs. Lewis came to town Wednesday
morning to accompany her husband
back to the ranch, leaving her five
boys there for a few hours, and upon
arriving at the ranch at 3 o'clock in
the evening Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis found
thai their youngest son, Herbert, had
been killed about two hours previous
by the accidental discharge of a shot.
gun.
The young brothers who witnessed
the affair were too distressed and
nervou to give a clear account of
what happened, but the elder boy,
Fred, told his parents that when he
placed the gun on the table it went
Off. 1t appears that he took the gun
to shoot at a hawk, but as the bird
kept out Of range he returned to an
arbor just outside the house where his
brothers were waiting, and laid the
weapon ON the table. In some manner
that cannot be explained, the gun,
which was q safety hammerless, was
discharged, the contents striking little
Herbert who vas only about two feet
from the muzzle. The back of the little
fellows head was blown to pieces,
death being almost instantaneous.
The distracted parents returned to
town with the remains as soon as pos
sible, arriving here about ? o'clock
Thursday morning. They have the
sincere sympathy of all neighbors and
friends over their loss under such sad
circumstances.

Neidringhaus Nr0s- Get Busy.

The report printed by the River
Press several weeks ago, to the effect
that the Neidringhaus cattle outfit was
engaging 10 farming operations on a
large scale in the northern part of
Drwson county, is corroborated by
the Yellowstone Journal, of Miles
City. 1t gives this brief ccount of
what is being done by the ST. Louis
hustlers:
The Neidringhaus people, former
owners of the m outfit, who have a
ranch located on the Missouri river,
at Blackmon, are reported as having
ninety men in their employ breaking
up the sagebrush to place the bottom
into GUILTY. alton to raise alfalfa 10
feed their cattle, of which they have
1000 on the Fort Peck reservation.
The hay for this year is being pur.
chased from the Indians, who receive
81 a ton. Fifty of the ninety men are
employed in grubbing the sagebrush
and the balance in the sawmill gang
and making bitches. The company
has constructed a ferry acros the
Missouri river and will allow the set
tiers Whereabouts TO use it free of
charge. The Neidringhaus Brothers
bought out the Hancock Brothers

Lee Warren's ranches but not his cat.

ranch, a $1,000 deal. Other land will
be acquired by exercising public land
rights. They have an engineer EN-.
ployed steadily laying out bitches and
reservoirs for irrigation. a lOO-horse
power engine and duplicate pumps
have been purchased for the irrigating
process.
