S. Hickey Arrested For
Shooting Young Sulliuan

For the killing of Joseph Sullivan,
whom he thought was trying to get
away with a valuable colt at the
Doughspoon ranch two weeks ago,
S. Hockey was arrested the first of
this week charged with murder and
brought to Delta where he was placed
under bond of $1,000 for his appearance
at court.
1t would seem a difficult matter to
prove any criminal intent on the part
of Hockey. He is an old man and all
acquainted with him have confidence in
his honesty and truth fulness, and as
there were no other witnesses living to
testify. nothing more than official in
vestigation is likely to come of the
trial.
The case remains and probably will
continue one of those sad tragedies
wherein one life is snapped out and
another one made miserable by the
presumed justification in firing the
fatal shot.

saying that the business men placed a

waived aside all technical distractions
and proceeded to do things. They had
built miles and miles of cement walks,
constructed sewers, and parts of town
that were formerly swamps were now
the locations of nice homes. The Com
mercial association there had purchased
piece of ground and was plating it
and would sell it at profit to furnish
funds for advertising purposes. He
spoke of the great advantages of hav-

stated that four towns in Delta, county
sent him with an exhibit to Council

and the whole expense was but $50 90

there next fall. Since coming to Mont

who recognized him who had been at
tracted here by the exhibit We had
