MURDER AT
ROUNDUP
Body of Murdered Woman Found in
the Musselshell River Satur.
day Afternoon.

The body of a woman, identified as
that of Mrs. Franc Kopec. of Round
up, was found in the Musselshel
River near that place Saturday after
noon. Upon examination it was dis
covered that the woman had not
drowned, as the lungs were still filled
with air and the body showed signs
OF strangling or choking. The body
of the woman had been in the water
apparently for about 36 hours.
1t is thought that the woman was
murdered by her husband, Franc Ko-
pee, who is now in a critical condi-
tion as result of attempting his own
life with knife. Kopec was tried
at Lewistown and examined month
ago for insanity and was committed
to the state asylum, being adjudged
insane. However, he was released
by the authorities after two weeks
confinement, and every indication
points to his having killed his wife in
a tit OF insanity, after which an at
tempt was made to commit suicide.

NO REDUCTION
Present Immigrant Rates Sufficient
ly Low--No Chance to Secure
Eastern Farm Labor.

The Lewistown Daily News says
that the question of farm labor in
this part of the country has been a
vital one for the farmers in this Sec
tion, and all efforts so far to secure
extra help in reaping the large crops
of the country has met with but little
success.
Secretary Croft of the Commercial
Club has been trying to secure some
special rate and inducement from the
Milwaukee and Great Northern roads.
whereby the thousands of immigrants
from the east may be brought to
Montana and given employment in
the harvest fields, but from present
indication no special rates or trans
portation facilities can be secured
and the prospects of much imported
labor is not very good.
1t is claimed by the passenger de-
partment of the two roads that the
present rates for immigrants is as
low as it can possibly be made. The
rates, as they are u cents por hund-
red miles from St. Paul and Sl.15
from Chicago, while the regular first
class rate is $2.1O. In comparison,
this rate is apparently sufficient, but
the prospect of foreigners or aliens
coming this far west is limited even
at the present rates.
