on the barges were about Is tons of bolts
and irons. VIM. Stadelman, George
Pelka and Jas. Dunlap went down on
the barges from this port. When near
lone they attempted to bring the RATS to
shore, but the current was too strong for
them and swept the RATS on through
Box Canyon, the men making their
escape to shore in rowboat. The rats
were broken up during the passage
through the canyon, and all the iron
lost, but most OF the timbers were can
tured below the canyon.

Officials to Be Here Mon.

Next Week.
ROUNDUP SHOULD ACT QUICK
Coast Line Land Co. win Do.
nate Land and Buy Improve
n7enfs After Five Years.

Word has been received here that
profs. Linfield and Atkinson Of the
government experimental station of
Bozeman that they will be in Round
up on Monday or Tuesday of next
week in connection with the estab-
fishing of a demonstration farm
neat this place, at which time they
wish to be enlightened as to whether
or not the citizens Of Roundup wish
to take up the proposition offered
them while here last week 1t will
require about $1,000 to secure the
sub-station, but as the matter is of
such vital Importance to this section
it is hardly likely that the matter
will be allowed to drop. A num-
Der are of the opinion that the
money now being raised for sheep
shcaring plant should be turned
over to the farm fund, for the rea-
son that the season is getting late
to expect much bcnitit from shear
ing plant and is a matter which
could be delayed until next year.
About $500 has already been raised
for the shearing plant. 1t is pro-
bable however, that both PROPOSE
tions may be carried thru success
fully.
J.Q. Adams, president Of the
Coast Line Land Co., was in
Roundup Monday and talked very
favorably in regard to the establish
ing Of an experimental farm at this
place. In view of the fact that the
Coast Line Land Co., owns con-
siderable land in this vicinity, he
said that they would do all they
could to help in the matter. To
this end Mr.. Adams offered the use
Of any land which was suitable for
project, and, in addition will agree
to purchase all improvements made
thereon during the five years the
demonstration farm is conducted.
Mr.. Adams feels that the citizens
should take some interest in the
matter, and it is for this reason that
he makes the above proposition.
BY this plan those who contribute
money for this purpose will event.
ually be repaid what they advanced.

WORK Oh 51Rtt1 FINISHED
Vast Improvement in Main Street
and Railway Avenue.

The work of grading and macad-
amizing Main street and Railway
avenue was completed this week
and the appearance Of Roundup
has been greatly enhanced thereby.
Strangers are already making many
complimentary remarks on the neat
appearance OF our principal thoro-
fares. which will be still more i'm
proved as soon as the cement side
walks are laid. Several months
will have to elapse before the streets
will become real smooth with the
packing down of the gravel.
The Republic Coal Co. now has
grading crew at work taking down
the brow of the hill at the foot Of
Main street and terracing the ground
south of the coal Office. The
ground surrounding the Office is
being sodded and will be made one
Of Roundup's beauty spots.

chance Of winning the game. The
score was tie when the umpire
declared runner safe on second,
bringing forth a storm Of criticism
thereby from the boys from the
camp on Half Breed. The umpire,
however, was firm in his conviction,
and the game was off.
The local team showed some i'm
provement, and with the exception
of the first and eight innings did
some fairly good playing. The
first inning was comedy of errors,
and it seems the locals have a
knack of starting a game in this
fashion. Manager Ray tried out a
new pitcher during the game, name
ly Egeland, a new arrival in Round
up. Altho out of form for the
reason that he had just made a hard
trip out from Chicago and had not
been in the field this season to speak

VIM. KoOntz Shot in Arm
Tuesday Morning by
Jim Black.
GUN NAN STILL At LARGE
Trouble Started by Black Try
ing to Rob Koontz-N Victim
May Loose Right Arm.

In shooting affray which took
place in the Miner saloon on Rail-
way avenue early Tuesday morn
ing, VIM. Koontz was shot in the
right arm by Jim Blaze, swami
per" in the saloon at mine No. 2.
The bullet entered the right arm
near the shoulder and lodged in the
shoulder joint. Koontz was taken
to hospital in Billings Tuesday
evening where an attempt will be
made to have the bullet removed.
In case of blood poisoning it may
be necessary to amputate the arm,
but in any event, it is thought, that
he will lose the use of arm. Black
disappeared Immediately after the
shooting and up to this t i m e
no trace has been found of him,
altho all deputies along the line
have been notified to be on the look
out for the fugitive. Deputy Waldo
Of this place and Deputy Harvey of
Musselshell are securing the country
and the latter it is believed is on
his trail. A section gang encount-
cred man below Musselshell Tues
day who made an Intellectual at
tempt to escape discovery. A ranch
house in that section was also brok-
en- into and a gun and other articles
stolen. This leads to the belief
that Black is trying to make his
getaway thru the lower Musselshell
country.
The shooting affray occurred in the
Miner saloon about three o'clock in
the morning, and was the result of ii
quarrel which started in the red
light district. Previous to the shoot
ing the principles were in one of the
places across the tracks, and it is
alleged that Black attempted to
pick koontz's pocket. Koontz
caught him in the act and accused
him Of trying to rob him, which
Black denied. A heated discussion
followed in which threats were
made, but nothing was thought of
the trouble. Coming back to town
the party separated, and Black went
into the Silver Dollar saloon where
he secured a A six shooter. and
started to look for koontz. After
visiting several places in which he
made the remark that he was going
to shoot Koontz. he found the OBJ
ject Of his angry passion in the
Miner saloon, and Immediately got
busy with his Al. He discharged
one shot accidently in pulling his
gun and the second caught Koontz
in the shoulder. Two other shots
were fired, but without effect. Vim
cent Nigro, owner of the saloon,
came near being shot also, Black
swapping the gun at him twice, but
it was lucky for him that the re-
naming chambers were empty.
i Advice from Billings yesterday
afternoon states that Koontz is rest
ing easily. He will be operated up
on today.
