FIGHTING FOR HOMESTEADS
Rush For FIathead Lands Results In
Fatal Dispute.


KAL1sPELL, Nov. 2.-One man kill.
ed and another wounded at Camas in
q land dispute marked the scramble
for unclaimed lands at the opening OF
the Flathead Indian alton.
Five men engaged q special train at
Rsvalli to reach the land Office at
Missoula so as to be there in time for
the opening. Others camped all night
before the land Offices at Missoula,
and Kalispell. In the line we're a
number of women, who stood the vigil
uncomplainingly. One woman of 80
at Missouls was told she could not
file upon land unless she could give
its location. She tottered from the
line exhausted.
There we're q number of auto races
in northern Montana, but the machines
could not hold their own with Indian
ponies in the rough country. A quin-
tette of "sooners" we're driven off
near Missoula at the point of six.
shooters.
The best race of the whole contest
was that of Frank Masterson, who re.
layed with three horses and az auto
mobile, travelling SO miles from his
claim near Dayton to Kalispell in l
hour and 40 minutes at dead of night.
1t was he who started the fight when
his rival, who came by team, got in
two or three hours later. A policema an
appeared and the pair presented the
natter to the officials this morning.
Men are said 70 be waiting at one

There is q belief that except for the

So terrific was the explosion that
the big locomotive was completely

Jones fell under the engine, and in

The suffering man succeeded ia
