Robert Worthington, one of the
stock owners OF the Mussel-

day for a few hours and while here
discussed the political situation in his
section Of the county. Mr.. Worthing-
ton is very optimistic over the out
look for the Republican ticket.
"They are talking Republican issues
and will vote from Taft down to con-
stable on the Republican ticket" said
the stockman. The people up my
way know which side their bread is but
tered on and they do not intend to vote
in anybody who will kill good times.
When the candidates come to the Mus
selshell, they will certainly get a re-
ception that will show them that they
have the undivided support of the men
interested in development OF that sec
ton Of Montana"

burlington advertising car, which
is loaded with products from the coun-
try around Billings and the Big Horn
Basin in Northern Wyoming, has been
travelling through the irrigated sec
lions Of Colorado. 1t has created re-
markable interest in this country. The
products shown were SO much better
than was raised on the high priced
land in the vicinity Of where the car
was shown that the Colorado farmers,
who are schooled in irrigation, could
not help but take notice. AS q result
many Of them will come to this coun,
try to settle.
"Our information bureau in Denver
is doing good work among the people
who are seeking homes and we are
distributing large quantities Of tnfor-
nation about Billings and the coun-
try tributary. It is the intention Of

commerce in the cities Of this section
We are willing to do anything we can
by aiding the chamber Of commerce ct
Billings or elsewhere to secure infor'
nation anywhere along our route"

Conditions in the Big Horn Basir
are excellent, he declares, and assert:
that It is going to experience q won
derful growth In the near future.
Billings should make some unitet
effort to secure the trade Of the Bash
country" said Mr.. Randell. las THU
city is the natural supply point TO
the Basin. But this city will have t.
go after the trade il it wants It. II !
does. not Denver or some other cit,
will go after it and thus secure trade
which naturally belongs to the whole
salers and jobbers OF Billings.
Right at your door in Northern
Wyoming is n of the most fertile
sections of the country and the trad
there is yours if you go after It. Por
ulation is what will make Billings
great city and the building up OF trad
centers around it will build up an;

CHARLEY WILLIAMS
 CONFESSES MURDER
IS ARRESTED FOR THE KILLING
 OF J. B. M'CLARY NEAR LINE VILE LAST sEPTEMBER-KIL- HAN WINS HANDSOME REWARD.

Lineville, May 4-(Special) )-Charley who murdered J. B. McClary, young railroad foreman, near this place on Sep temper 16, 1907, has just been captured and lodged in the county jail. He was cap tured while at work on the Atlanta, Bir- mingham and Atlantic railroad grade near Birmingham by Robert Killian, who knew the negro while at work on the route at this place.
 The murder was one of the most foul and a negro woman had run away from the railroad camp of R. E. Robson and were apprehended by young McClary, the foreman of the camp at Pyriton. At the time they were captured the negro man was searched and no weapons found on his person. The negro woman carried a little basket in her hand which her captor failed to search
 Both the negro man and woman walked in front of young McClary until they ap- preached a water ford at Crooked creek, two miles west of Lineville, when the woman handed Williams the basket to carry across the foot log. As McClary's horse stopped to drink at the water ford the negro got the drop on him, drew the pistol from the basket, shot and killed him, his body falling from the plunging horse as he emerged from the creek. The negro made his escape.
 A reward of s450 was offered by the relatives of McClary, who live in Ten nessee, and by the citizens of Lineville.
 The negro made full confession of the crime yesterday while on the train being taken to jail. In the confession he stated that he was on the train some two or three months ago while the sheriff had another negro under arrest who was be- ing brought to Lineville for Identification, carged with this murder.
