LAND CONGRESS MEETING.
Preliminary Steps Taken at Fl Dorado M0n- day for Boosting Union County Land.

Most of the assistant vice-presi- dents appointed by County Vice President T. M. Hankins. of the Union County Land Congress. met at the court house in Ell Dorado last Monday to take the prelimina- " steps towards having one of the biggest and best land congresses in the state at El Dorado probably sometime during the month of August.
 The county normal, which was in session there at that time, ad- journed that afternoon and a large number of the teachers in attend ance were present at tle meeting and evinced considerable interest in the congress and will no doubt do their part in spreading the necessary enthusiasm to make it the success it should be.
 Short talks were made by Vice President T. M. Hankine; L. L. DeCou, president of the Industrial league; Prof. Ury Mckenzie of Morrilton, one of the instructors at the normal; J. T. Whitlock. state mineralogist, who is here securing oil leases on Union county lands, and Judge N. c. Marsh. Each speaker brought out helpful hints and made valuable suggestions which will be used by those at the head of the movement and who will be willing to receive sugges- tions from others.
 In order to raise the necessay funds to properly advertise Union county each land owner will be asked to contribute 5 or 10 cents for each acre of land owned and the results to be obtained will make his land worth from $lo to $25 per acre more in few years, so none should hesitate when called upon to make the donation and pay the money at once so that the work can be started now.
 The vice president will appoint a committee to gather data, photo- graphs and specimens of the differ ent products raised in the county. If you have fine orchard, or field, or good stock on your place have them photographed and furnish this committee with copy as soon as they are appointed.
 Another meeting will be held soon to complete the arrange ments and get out a committee to raise the necessary funds. c. A. Berry was appointed temporary secretary and will gladly furnish you with any information possible.

Some weeks before the arrival of the company she said to those around her: Oh, l hope the sun will shine and the weather will be warm and genial, so l can hear Miss Ab- bolt sing once more. 1 think then l could pass away peacefully and without one single regret But there came with the queen of the lyric stage northern hurricane with the very air charged with 1 icicles which penetrated the lungs. Some one told Miss Abbott of the grievous disappointment of the dy- ing girl. She went to the opera house and never sang more sweetly and as soon as it was over and .he audience dismissed, she called her carriage and directed it to drive to the home of the young lady.
 The scene which followed was worthy of the finest brush ever wielded by the grand old masters. There lay the dying earth angel, with palid lips, hectic cheeks and lustfous eyes and the light of i'm mortal beauty shining upon her face. Standing beside her. in one of her richest robes, the one she had worn that night. sparkling with pearls, rubies and diamonds, stood the almost divine mistress of earth ly melody.
 The first piece rendered was
 The Old Folks at Home and then followed T Know My Re- deemer Liveth." The finale of this weird scene was Rock of Ages Cleft for Me. Let Me Hide Myself in Thee And then Miss Abbott bent over the frail form and kissed her an eternal farewell. Soon after a spirit passed into the wild wind, which ran through the wild noun talns near by-set sail for that heaven from which the first home ward bound bark is yet to be seen
 the stainless soul waited to the stainless heavens by the sweetest music ever heard on earth into the melodies of paradise.

Angels of the heavenly choir had that night listened to her voice in the sick room and sent for her to come home to them.

shipments. Under the proposed
code all comm odities are allowed
As hours free time for loading or
unloading, whereas our present
plan in Montana allows 72 hours
for the unloading of lumber, stulls,
tagging, coal, coke, lime, lime
rock, and bulk precipitates. The
new rules, however, provide ar av-
erage plan whereby time gained on
one car may be applied on another
as an offset, thus averaging the de-
tention for period of thirty days,
and it is thought by some that ihe
uniform code is preferable to the
present rules for this and other
reasons.
This commission obtained the
extended free time on lumber. etc.
as above, after much controversy
and dealings with the carrier COM
panies. and before we could feel
warranted in authorizing it's can
collation., we must know that the
people of the state fully under
stand and desire the adoption Of
the proposed code. Therefore, to
determine this question it has been
decided to hold a public hearing in
the house chamber, Capitol Build
ing Helena, at 10 o'clock, A. M.
September 7th 1910, to which the
public is invited and will be given
an opportunity to be heard either
for or against the suggested change.

though in reality he was not in
jured in the least.
However, he was immediately
taken in custody aud later taken
to Glendive where he was given a
preliminary hearing and bound ov-
er until the next regular term of
district court. No excuse what
ever, was offered by ihe perpetrat-
or for his criminal action, and he
positively refused to talk on the
subject when questioned by the
county att rney.
Nelson was taken to the hospit-
al at Glendive on No. 3 Saturday
evening where he died at $3.50
O'Clock the following morning.
The bullet, which entered his right
shoulder just above the lung, made
it's way to the shoulder blade where
it glanced in such a manner as to
pass through the body and lodge
in the ribs at the back Of his left
side. AS the result Of the wound
a hemorrge Of the lungs develop
ed, which was the direct cause of
his death.
A brother of the deceased arriv-
ed from Sparta, Wis, and accom-
panied the remains to that city for
interment on Monday evening.
MIR. Nelson was about q years of
age when he met with death and
was recognized by all who knew
him here as model youag man of
temperate habits, and had made
many friends during his residence
in Wibaux.

BALL TEAM
DISBANDED
Locals won 3 Success
sive games Before
close of season

The Wibaux Tigers have disban-
ded, utter most successful seas
on. All the boys are paid in full,
and on their way rejoicing. This
is what transpired at Wibanx on
Monday, last, in accordance with
the plans Of manager Jennings
when his team returned from Sid
ney where the wind-up game was
played.
The boys played every team from
Miles City to Dickinson and Beach
was the only team they lost to,
Out OF 70 games played this seas
on they won Is, and to say the
least, this is certainly splendid
record better in fact than any
other team along the line has made.
Manager Jennings is to be com
mended upon his level headed
work, and to say that he had nine
fast and accurate players on bis
staff would not at all be flattering.
Some were "Unoroug ghbreds" from
st. Paul while others were local
talent who still remain in the city.
However, with exception to none,
they are a bunch Of good, clean
sports who ere we'll up to the nat
ional game, and suffice to say that
the local fans would welcome the
same lineup on our grounds next
season.
The return game with Sidney
Sunday was very similar to the
first one--a walk away and about
the only feature of the game was
the fast batting of the bunch.
The score this time was II to 2.

YOUNG LIFE
SACRIFICED
Frank Nelson is Slain
in WantOn manner
by Max Lakey

Wibaux Was the scene of an aW-
full tragedy on last Saturday after.
noon when facts were revealed of q
d-blooded murder, which took
place on Wibaux street, opposite
the Wolfe q Drake livery stable,
about 4 o'clock.
The crime was committed by
Max M. Lakey, who used six
shooter to accomplish his aim,
while Frank Nelson. who has been
in the employ of Wolfe q Drake for
the past several months, was the
victim Of the fatal shot, which re-
suited in death about A o'clock the
following morning.
What was Lakey's aspiration for
such terrible deed remains a mys-
terry, though it is an established
fact that he was well under the in
fluence Of liquor when the shoot
ing took place.
According to the story told by
those who Witnessed the shooting,
Lakey had hired a horse at the
Wolfe q Drake stable that after
noon with the intention Of riding
out to his brothers ranch at Trot-
ters, and had left the horse tied on
the street for several hours when
he discovered it had been taken
from the place where he had left
it, and he then returned to the
stable to enquire Of it's wherea-
bouts. Not knowing where the
horse might be, Wolf sent his man
Nelson, up town to look for it,
which the latter found hitched in
an alley. In the meantime, LAX
ey remained at Bushmans machine
shop on the opposite side Of the
street, and wien Nelson returned
with the horse, he had no more
than dismounted when Lakey rush
ed upon him and shot hin through
the shoulder. Lakey apparently
did not recognize Nelson to be the
the same party who set out to look
for the horse. However, Lakey
got in the saddle and started to
ride down the street when he was
appro ached by Officer Wynn,
who ordered him to halt. Lakey
did not obey his orders, but i'm.
mediately opened fire on the offic-
er and had fired three ineffective
shots when Wynn also opened fire
and before the latter could fire a
third shot Lakey played "possum,"

LUMBER COMPANIES SEEK
UNIFORM LIABILITY LAW

Seattle, July 1S.-Lumbermen of
Western Washington, through the leg

Lumber Manufacturers Association,
have launched a campaign for the en-
actment by the legislature Of an en-
ployers' liability law whereby EN-
ployes OF all kinds shall be paid for
injuries received, and without the
costly litigation now SO frequent.
The lumber companies now propose
to arrange for statewide conference
of employers, employees, representa-
Itives Of organised labor and others to
shape the legislation desired.

possible. with the animus of personal
damage suits and take out Of the

railroads, in the shops and elsewhere
to receive every penny due them ana
not the pittance they now 30 often re-
ceiye in case they are injured.
