Sheriff O. Council, of Great Falls, after
a couple Of days at Eureka forwarding
the search for Cove Morgan, the man
who criMinally assaulted Frank Bakers
l2-year-old girl, returned Monday night,
says the Kalispell Bee. He says the
whole country is aroused over the affair
and gangs of men were out, armed with
rifles, looking for Morgan, but there
seemed to be few who were friends of
Morgan and were seeking to protect him
rather than kill or capture him. It is
reported here that the settlement in
which the alleged crime was perpetrated
is made up of families from West Virginia
and there are factions which may de-
velop All old-fsshioned Blue Ridge feud.
Sheriff O'Connell notified the mob at
Eureka that he would arrest and Jail
every man carrying rifle who was not

gan is in close hiding and will be easily
taken after the hue and cry is over.
