A Fatal Shooting ARRAY.

Word was received at the sheriff's
office Wednesday evening, in a tele.
gram from Concord, that w. P. Tur.
ner, the we'll known stockman of the
Marias country, had been shot and
seriously wounded by Fred Larimore,
one Of his former employees. A second
telegram stated that Larimore had
arrived At Concord and was prepared
to surrender to the authorities. He
arrived here T thursday morning. and
was placed Ia the county Jail.

1t is reported that there was a dis
pute of long standing between the two

the Turner ranch, and that Mr.. Tur-
ner was shot twice by his adversary.
The victim OF the shooting is alleged
to have carried a gun, but no definite

fatal shooting has yet developed. The
authorities hope to get necessary evi.
dence from an eyewitness of the quar-.
rel, who will be examined at the coro
ner's inquest.

the cattle business on the Marias since
the early eighties, and had q wide &C.

To Boost Dairying Ia Montana.

1t is reported from Bozeman that
Professor w. J.. Elliott dairy chief
OF the state agricultural college has
outlined a plan for the boosting of
the dairying industry in Montana. 1t
is to run q "Creamery Special"
across the state, stopping at every
city and town where creameries are
located.
The special would consist OF a bag.
gage coach, in which some fine dairy
animals and a milking machine would
be carried, and one lectu IRE coach.
The use and man agement of the milk
ing machine would be demonstrated
in milking the cows along the way.
Professor Elliott has Investigated
the probable cost of the undertaking
and finds that it could be done with a
comparatively small outlay of money.
The Northern Pacific railroad recog.
nizes the Importance of the plan and
has agreed to furnish the coaches free
of charge. The remainder of the cost
could very easily be borne by draw
ing on the farmers institute fund.
Farmers and dairymen from all
parts of the state have written to Mr..
Elliott on the matter and all agree
that the idea is a splendid one and
offer to contribute towards putting it
into effect. He has written to com.
mercial bodies in the towns that would
be especially benefited by the plan and
