GRAIN GROWERS MEET.
Adopt Plan for Opening Of Judith
Basin Mill.

A large number of grain growers
responded to the call for a meeting
at Jackson's hall Saturday afternoon
to take up plan for having the local
mill grind big supply Of No. / hard
winter wheat into flour. The meeting
was held under the auspices of the
American Society of Equity, although
the attendance was not limited to
members of that organization.
The official report of the meeting
is as follows:
Every wheat grower in Fergus
county is urged to contribute at least
1000 pounds of hard wheat. Some
have already subscribed 5000 pounds.
while others expect to put in as much
as 1000 bushels each. Those who
are at the head of the movement have
secured the services of a thoroughly
competent miller, who has turned out

up an empty cartridge shell from
Smiths gun about three PAGES from
the body.
The Coroner's Testimony.
Coroner F. F. Attix told of his
examination Of the body and the gen
eral situation at the place where it
was lying, agreeing with Mr.. Nor
rison on all points. The coroner
picked up second shell about four
PAGES from the body. He did not
observe but one wound on the BODY
prior to the post mortem, which was
held after the body was brought to
Lewistown. At the time he first
examined the body he observed a
bullet wound in the head and later
found that Fairbairn had also been
shot in the left breast, the bullet cut
ting the aorta. The effect of this was
to Immediately empty the heart OF
blood, causing death very quickly.
Frank Maynard testified that on
the day of the killing, he was engaged
with w. w. Willard and others
threshing when the defendant came
into the field and showed them a
list Of names supposed to have been
written by Mrs Smith, with state
ment that she had sustained i'm
proper relations with them Smith
handed the confession around to the
men to read. He said he wanted
them to know the truth about the
matter and said the parties whose
names were en- the list had threat
|ened his life. He said he expected
to meet some of them that day and
had right to protect himself. Smith
asserted that week before a prom
lnent rancher of that neighborhood,
not Falrbairn, had sent word that he
intended to kill him. Smith than
SAID, You ought to see the confess
sion my wife has written out"
w. w. Willard testified to the
same effect as Mr.. Willard with re-
gard to Smith showing them a list
of names.
Peter Fairbairn, brother Of the
decedent, testified that the note sign
ed Messenger" and requesting Wal
ter Fairbairr to be at the Pine Grove
postofhce November 2l at noon, and
signed messenger" was left in their
sheep wagon while they were away
from the place. Walter said he did
not understand the note or who
wanted to see him, but he went as
requested. He never came back.
This closed the testimony for the
state and the defense having no tes-
timony to offer, Smith was held
without bonds. 1t is supposed that
his trial will take place at the com
ing term of court in January.

Smith MUST Stand TR|AL
Judge BrasSey Holds Slayer Of Wallace Fairbairn
to the District Court Defense Does Not
Offer Any Testimony.

Chester G. Smith, who on Novem-
Der 21 shot and killed Walter Fair
BARN at Pine Grove, will be tried
at the coming term of court on a
charge Of murder in the first degree.
The preliminary hearing in this
case was held before Justice Of the
Peace Edward Brassey Saturday
morning, and was comparatively
brief, the defense deciding not to Of
fer any testimony at all, so that the
really sensational features connected
with the tragedy were not develop
ed. County Attorney Roy F..
Ayers and J. c. Huntoon appeared
for the state, while Frank F. Smith
represented the defendant. The
state simply made out prima facie
case and the defense then entered
a formal motion for the discharge of
Smith, on the ground that the testi-
mony did not indicate that the al
legged crime Of murder had been
committed by him.
Judge Brassey's Ruling.
In passing upon the motion, Judge
Brassey said that in view of the feel
ing that existed in the community
over the unfortunate affair, he was
OF the opinion that it would be bet
ter for the defendants future to go
to trial in the district court.
"The defendant will be held for
trial without bonds," concluded the
court.
The States Case.
The first three witnesses for the
state were Mrs. Alex Morrison, Miss
Belle Morrison and Alex Morrison.
l heir home is only about $50 yards
from the spot where the tragedy
was enacted, and the most important
feature of their testimony was the
point that the spot where Fairbairn
was shot down was about the only
one in that immediate vicinity where
the participants were hidden from the
view OF those in the house, there be-
ng small knoll just at that portion
of the road. A few PAGES in either
direction would have brought Fair
BARN and Smith in plain sight of
people in the house. The state did
not dwell particularly on this inn
portant point, being content, as
stated before, to make out prima
facie case. Mr.. Morrison testified
that Immediately after the shooting
he saw the body. It was lying on
the back, with the head up hill and
the feet down. There was scarcely
any blood around and he noticed at
the time but one bullet wound, tina,
being in the forehead. He picked
