QUARTERS WANTED
FOR. G. A R. VISITORS
Women's Citizens Auxiliary Commit
tees Arc Institutin@ n Thorough
Canvass Of City Residences.

The question OF providing accommo-
dations for the visitors who will visit
this city DUNG the forty-third annual
encampment of the g. A. R., to be held
in this city next August has been up
permost in the activities of the Wo-
mems Citizens auxiliary committees
the past few weeks. Some time ago q
canvass was instituted by means of
distributing printed slips to tie fanli-
lies of the city reached through the
children attending school, the slips be-
Ing SO arranged as to show, when fill
ed out, how many guests each family
could accommodate during encampment
week, and whether the accommodate
lions would consist of lodging, or lodg-5
Ing and breakfast, or lodging and
board. This canvass, which was in
charge OF the various teachers of the
city schools, Is now nearly completed,
and report Will be available soon.
In order, however, to reach those
families able and willing to accommo-
date one or more guests during en-
,campnent week, and who were not
reached through the school canvass,
the women's committee desires that!
they Will communicate, by letter or in
person, with the Womens Committee
headquarters, at 234 Commercial club
building, or to telephone the committee
Bell phone Main 44S7. The hotels Will
4 be able to accommodate about 1000
people during the week, and should
the attendance reach the minimum of
former encampments, the number of
visitors will DO at least $4,000, thus it
will be seen that the residents of
the city will Of necessity have to lend
aid in entertaining this throng of
visitors during the week of August
9-14. ss
e Work in the various committees
preparatory to the encampn1ent is
progressing satisfactorily DR. G. b.
Pfonty. chairman Of the committee on
general decoration, spent considerable
time with Col. f. M. Sterrett, execli-
tive director of the encamprlent, at
which time the general scheme of: de-
scorations was planned. One of the fea-
lures decided upon is a mammoth
electric sign with the word wei
come" displayed upon the top; OF

In a letter addressed to the comman-
der of f. "A. WedgWood camp No. I,
United Spanish War Veterans, Col.
Sterrett accepted the proffered ser
vice of the veterans to act as guides
during the encampment. The Sons OF
Veterans will also assist III this work,
which will be under the personal di-
rection of General E. a. Wedgwood,

Woman FOULLY MURDERED AT ROUNDUP
Mrs. Franc kopc Evidently Choked to Death and Body Is Thrown in
Slough Near the Scene Of the Killing Suspicion Points Very
Strongly Towards the Husband.

The body of Mrs. Franc Kopec,
wife of Roundup coal miner, was
found in a slough near her cabin, a
short distance from the city of
Roundup last Saturday afternoon.
The woman was very evidently MUIR
dered and the officers are now en-
gagged in the work of solving the
mystery.
Neighbors Suspicious.
Franc Kopec, husband of the mur-
dered woman, was working in Mine
No. 8 at Roundup until about
month ago when he was sent to the
state insane asylum from this place.
About two weeks ago, his wife went
over and secured his release. it be-
ing believed that he was almost re-
stored to reason as he manifested
very few signs of irrationality.
The couple apparently got along
all right until last Friday. Nothing
was seen of them by the neighbors
Friday afternoon or up to Saturday
morning and it was decided that an

PLEASED over OUTLOOK
Railroad Man Takes Spin Over Basin
and Is Enthusiastic at Prospects
for Immense Crops.

When George B. Haynes, immigra-
tion agent for the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & Puget Sound Railroad COM
pany, was in the city about two
months ago, he was promised that if
he would make another visit to the
Judith Basin the latter part of July
some Of the greatest wheat ever
grown would be shown him. Like
the Missourian which he is not, Mr..
Haynes came last week to be shown.
Promise Is Fulfilled.
Dave Hilger also fulfilled his part
of the agreement and took Mr.
Haynes with party out in his auto
mobile Sunday to the Judith Basin
sub-staion on Louise creek. They
passed by large number Of grain
fields going and coming and Mr..
Haynes was forced to acknowledge
that he has never seen anytime finer
in the grain line.
Is Very Enthusiastic.
Il do not know when l have ever
had anything to please me more than
the ride which I took today over to
the experiment farm with Mr.. Hilger

night to the Democrat. CAS- you

County Attorney Huntoon, Cor
oner Creel and Sheriff Martin went
down on the train Sunday and on
inquest was held that afternoon, he
hearing continuing until 3 o'clock
yesterday morning.
An autopsy showed that the woman
had evidently been strangled to Death
az her throat was black and blue and
one of the bones in her neck hao
been broken. In order to determine
whether or no any other means of
destruction had been used, Sheriff
Martin took the stomach and in
testines to Helena for am analysis by
the state chemist.
Circumstantial Evidence.
While people naturally jumped to
the conclusion that Kopec murdered
his wife, this is but a conclusion as
yet as there was not developed a.

of a direct character. He was
brought to this city where there will
be an examination as to his sanity.

DENNISON IS CONVICTED.
Former Fergus County Man Must
Serve Sentence in Washington. \
Washington.

Sam Dennison, better known as
"Sheepshearer Sam" who worked
around in this county for several
years, was recently sent to prison for
killing man at Prosser, Washington.
The Prosser Republican, Bulletin,
edited by Halsey Watson, contained
the following reference to the case
in the last ISSUE
Sam Dennison, convicted Of man
slaughter by shooting George Evans,
was sentenced this morning by Judgt
Holcomb in the superior court to an
indeterminate term Of from one to
twenty years in the penitentiary at
W'alla Walla at hard labor. The
sentence followed motion for new
trial anG for suspension of sentence
and was followed by notice OF an
appeal to the supreme court. Bail
was fixed at $4,000 and it is said
this amount will soon be furnished.
Attorneys Snively, Linn and
Boyle for the defense submitted mo-
tions and arguments for new trial
which were of much interest in sew
eral phases. One contention was
that Judge Holcomb did not have a
right to sit in the hearing without a
judicial gown. Another was that the
new criminal code did not provide for
sentencing in cases where the act had
been committed prior to the enforce
ment date of the law.

naturally, it is most gratifying to cor
rectness of our promises so promptly
and generously demonstrated by hun
dreds Of farmers who have enormous
crops of grain.
Continue to Advertise.
"The people of the Judith Basin
must not get the idea that our COM
pany has ceased advertising this par
ticular section. There is room for
thousands OF new people in Fergus
county. We intend to bring them
here and Our campaign of publicity
will not end until this great county
has several times the number OF
people it now contains"
Mr.. Haynes discussed publicity
matters with number of business
men in the city during his visit and
extended his acquaintance in Lew
istown. He left Monday morning for
the west.

about 100000 to the total assess

Railroad Wants Reduction.
The Northern Pacific railroad COM

argued that the assessment of $3.50

the request.
Appropriate Money.
Among other things, the board ap-

purpose of getting together and send
