OPINION OF
AN OUTSIDER
Rhame Editor Takes a Hack at the
Division Of Billings County. "A
Fair View Of Situation

Rhame Review: A careful
study of the different propositions
for the division Of Billings coun.
ty convinces us that our state.
ment last week was correct. II
is not necessary at this time to 60
into the question of the general
proposition that the division of
the county will be better for the
people, for q large majority of
them are already convinced of
that fact. The danger lies in the
number of different propositions
that will be voted on this fail,
some of which conflict with each
other.
There are two propositions
that affect the people of this
part of Billings county, and they
are almost identical. the only
difference being that the proposed
Butte county would be rectangu-
lar in form, while the proposed
Slope county leaves out two town.
ships in the northwest corner.
This will make little difference to
the people of southern Billings,
and so far as we can see, either
proposition should have the sup
port of the voters in the territory
involved. We are informed that
the people of those two townships
would prefer the Slope county
proposition, and if that be true,
we would favor, were we a voter
in that county, letting them have
their own way about it.
The southern part of Billings
county is not particularly inter-
ested as to how the northern part
Of the county may eventually be
cut up, or even whether it be d.
vided at all. But they should be
nearly unanimous in favor of
either or both of the propositions
that affect themselves. and we
believe that if a majority of the
votes in the southern part are
cast for the Slope county petition,
that it will receive majority
in the rest of the county, so that
it is safe to say that their own
vote is all that can defeat the
proposition. The committees
having charge of the various
plans for the division Of the
county will soon begin to send
out literature regarding their
plans, SO that the voter will have
a chance to become thoroughly
posted on the merits of the differ
ent propositions.

Hickey aud a fifth party, said to
be some relative of Hickey's,
left town with the avowed inten.
tion Of getting horse or a
man." They proceeded to the
Lowe homestead. Arriving there
they met Mr.. Lowe and his
father-in-law, and informed them
that they were after the horse.
and Laban Woods entered the
barn to lead out the animal,
when Mr.. Lowe hastily closed the
door and locked it from, the out
side. Meanwhile the old man
Grove demonstrated with the
other men and tried to inform
them that the horse in the barn
was not the one they were seek
ing, whereupon Denver pulled a
gun and deliberately shot him
through the heart, killing him
almost instantly. Lowe and the
old mans daughters, who were
present, tried to ru, to his as.
sistance, but the young desperate
pointed his gun at them and COM
manded them to keep away. Sc
curing the horse, the Woods bows
rode back to town. Denver. in
company with his older brother.

authorities.
The Woods boys have long been
regarded as desperate and lawless
characters, frequently being par
Elephants in barroom brawls and
street fights, and it is only a
wonder that they have so far es-
capped a term in prison. Some
years ago Laban shot and killed a
man in a butcher shop in Mar

nesses to the affair he got out of
it by claiming it was an accident.
Their older brother, Frank, is
the proprietor and manager of

time served as deputy sheriff
until his resignation was de-
manded.
Denver Woods is only Is years
of age, and now a lifetime prison
sentence stares him in the face.
