DERED.
Quarrel at HorSwiu Coal
Mines Ends Fatally.
Murderer Gives Sell

Angered at getting the worst Of it in a
fist fight brought on by a quarrel over a
load of coal, a Horswill coal miner de-
liberately planned the murder of his an
tagonist and filled hik defenseless victim
full of shot within full sight of the ~latter's
home. With the same calmness the
murderer went to the authorities at
Mott and gave himself into custody.
The victim lived but a few hours.
The details as received in Dickinson
are not very complete, although the at
fair happened Tuesday evening. Hors.
will is located about IS miles from this
city and the participants in the row,
Mons Igaard and Ingebert Johnson,
were employed at the coal mines there.
Igaard had permission from the COM
pany to draw a load of coal from the
mine to his home and was engaged in
loading the wagon when Johnson ap-
peared. The latter claimed that the
load belonged to him and not to Igaard
and this produced a warm discussion
over the subject. Igaard refused to
give up to Johnson and thereupou arose
a hand to hand fight. The men sprang
at each other in their rage and rolled
around on the ground. ,Igaard got the
best of his opponent and gave him a
good licking.
Johnson was sore over his defeat and
left the other in possession of the load of
coal. He went at once to his home, get
ting more and more enraged. Unable
to restrain his passion; he loaded his
shot gun and started out to avenge
his defeat.
He came upon Igaard near the latter's
home, driving the load of coal. With
cut any warning of his intentions, JOhn-
son stepped to the horses heads, stopped
them and aimed his gun at the defense
less driver. Igaard sat on the seat with
his feet OF the dash board and before he
could comprehend what the other was
about to do, Johnson had drawn his gun,
sending a fusilade of shot toward the un-
fortunate man. Igaard's knees where
literally blown to pieces and the shot
flew in all directions, piercing his lungs
and abdomen in many places.
Johnson, calmly surveying his work
and with n thought in his mind; that
he was avenged for the licking he had
received, turned away and rode at once
to Mott where he told the authorities
what he had done and gave himself up.
The noise of the discharge of the gun
brought Igaard's wife to the scene. She
was nearly Frustrated at the sight and
sent at once. for aid. Two Mott doctors
were secured and everything done for
the man. His lungs were badly pierced
by the shot and there was no help for
him from the first. He died at about 8
o'clock, Wednesday morning.
Igaard was between 20 and as years Of
age and left a wife and ) small children,

TRAIN SERVICE
Still crippled because
Montana wa1houts

The train service for the past week has
been the worst for two years and as near
as can be learned twill be several days
before the old schedule is restored.
While the local officials are confident
that the trains on the N. P. will be rum
ming through to the coast within a short
time, it is impossible 10 tell how long it
will take to repair the washouts in Mon
tana. ~
At present the condition is worse
than at the beginning of the trouble and
for several days it has been impossible
to get any trains further west than Butte
and Helena. The Great Northern tracks
are out west of Butte. For the past two
weeks the N. P. passenger trains have
been running over the G.. N. tracks in the
western part of Montana but this outlet
has been closed since the middle of the
week.
The N. P. has its tracks in fair con-
dition this side of Butte and trains are
running between there and St. Paul.
No. 3 has been annulled %forseveral days,
No. I, has failed to show up twice during
the past week and most of the mail from
the east has been coming on No. 5.
This is the greatest series of floods in
the history of the state of. Montana and
the railroads have sustained much dam
age from landslides; washed out bridges
and tracks. The heavy expense may be
the cause for calling off several. crews on
extra work between Mandan and Glen
dive but no action has been taken as vet.

employed at the mine for some time but
as far as was known there was no bad
blood between them before the quarrel.
The town was greatly aroused over the
cold bloodedness of the affair which is
seldom equalled, over so trivial a ques-
ton.
