Sundays and hold avs, leaving but %
days. is going to prove the record

Up to last evening, says the Great

Office had aggregated 1880, or several
hundred more than the highest record

the months business will aggregate
more than 1000.
The Great Falls Office ia a very busy
place in comparison with the same
Office six months ago. Then but two

and still NOR are needed to handle
the enormous business. Additional

FATAL SHOOTING SCRAPE.
Henry 6rinkman Victim Of Tragedy
On the Marias.


On the Marias.
News OF q fatal shooting scraps on
the Marias wss brought to this city
"Wednesday morning, when Mark
Cockrill, the we'll known stockman,
arrived and surrendered himself to
the sheriff, stating that he had killed
Henry Brinkman about noon Tues.
day during q quarrel At the Marias
postoffice. The latter .is located at
the Van Veen ranch, formerly owned
by AL Branson.
The story of the shooting is to
the effect that Henry Brinkmsn re.
newed an old dispute over school mat.
tiers, and finally assaulted him outside
the p%ostoflce building, and that a. he
was getting the worst of it he pulled
his gun and shot his sssailsnt. Cock.
ritl's face shows evidence OF the al.
legged assault, being badly cut about
the mouth.
The trouble between the two men,
so far as q be learned, origin ated
from the fact that Brinkman was
elected trustee of the Marias school
district, and was subsequently, found
to be ineligible-Mark Cockrill being
appointed in his stead. 1t 10 alleged
that Brinkman accused Cockrill of be-
ing responsible for the proceedings.
The terrible tragedy of Tuesday
is supposed to have been the outcome
of THE i'll feeling.
Henry Brinkman, the victim of the
shooting, was q son OF Herman Brink
man, formerly of this city. and was
about 81 years of age. He had a wide
acquaintance in this part of Chouteau
county, and was not generally regard.
ed as a man of q~uarrelsome disposi.
ton.
This is the only side of the story
that has been heard up to the present
time, and there may possibly be other
features that will develop in due
course. A %coroner's jury has gone
to the scene of the shooting to secure
whatever information can be obtained
from Witnesses who live 10 that vi.
cinity.
