increased proportion of the total popu-

WELL KNOWN HELENA
MAN IS found DEAD
CHARLES F. WORD VICTIM OF
ACCIDENT ON EVE OF
WEDDING.

Helena, June lO.-Charles F. Word,
junior member of the law firm OF
Word & Word, president OF the Mon
tana club, prominent socially and pro-
fessionally, was instantly killed this
morning in his apartments at the
Monticello by the accidental dis
charge OF a revolver, which he was
cleaning and oiling. Mr.. Word was
to have left this morning for Pres
colt, Canada, where Wednesday he
was to wed Miss Gladys Whitney.
Shortly before 9 o'clock an occupant
of another apartment heard sound
like shot, but thought it was the
elevator. An hour later the janitor
went to Mr.. Words room to get his
trunk and found the body. It wa.
lying on the floor a short distance
from the dresser.
The revolver was on the floor foot
or two away. On the dresser was an
oil can, cleaning rod and some
wiping rags. The drawers of the
dresser were open. There were five
shells in the cylinder, one chamber
OF the cylinder being unloaded. It
appeared that he had been packing his
valise.
The bullet entered the left eye and,
ranging upward. passed out through
the top of the skull. 1t was found
later embedded in the ceiling.
The coroner, after an investigation,
decided the case was one of accidental
shooting and that an inquest was not
necessary.
Mr.. Word was the som of Mr.. and
Mrs. Samuel Word. His father, who
died some years ago, was one OF the
most prominent pioneers of Montana
Mr.. Word was born in Virginia City
in 1870. His boyhood was spent in
Virginia City and Helena. He re-
ceived his education in private schools
in the East, and then went to Yale,
graduating with the class OF 1894.
Returning to Helena. he was ap-
pointed by Gov. Robert B. Smith his
private secretary. serving until jan
uary. 1901. The firm of Word &
Word was organized that year. and

LEWISTOWN team IS
GIVEN BAD BEATING
QUEEN CITY GREYS" COM
PLETELY OUTCLASS THE
LOCAL PLAYERS.

Outclassed in every department OF
the game, the Lewistown base ball
team took a bad beating from the
Queen City Greys,' of Philbrook, on
the local grounds last Sunday after
noon. It was about the most COM
plete route ever sustained by Lew
istown aggregation and the outcom,
was never in doubt after the first ten
minutes of play.
The visitors started off with rush,
making four runs in the first inning.
The fault was not wholly Toresdale's,
as good support would have retired
the side without any damage.
The game was good in spots. The
locals would put up whirlwind game
for few innings and then go to
pieces again. The Judith valley boys
played a hard, steady game all OF the
time and there was little chance to
do much with them so long as Bell
pitched the sort of game he handed
out. The big fellow had smoke to
burn, controlled his Blenders III great
shape and used his noodle all OF the
time. The high-class support gwen
him encouraged Bell and he tried to
make it shut-out. but the county
seat boys did manage to get one run
across while the Greys were piling up
tctal OF nine. :,

Flocking Into the Judith Basin

CITY REALTY ACTIVE
Residence Property Selling Readily
and Several Big Deals for Main
Street Ground in Progress.

All passenger trains into Lewis
town during the past FIVE or six days
have been crowded with land-seekers
and other outside investors. Thurs
day evening, in particular, every seat
i'll the, two coaches was occupied and
many Of the passengers had to stand
in the aisles between Judith Gap and
LeWistown.
Country Looks Good.
While many OF the newcomers are
out looking about for homesteads, the
greater number are in the market for
some Of the famous wheat land Of tho
Basin. The local real estate men
have been busy taking out strangers
portant deals have been closed up.
Just at present there is not a prettier
country any place than the Judith
Basin, and, without an exception, the
visitors express enthusiastic admira-
ton for the country and its very ap-
parent agricultural resources Some
who came out merely to have look
have returned to their eastern homes
for the purpose OF making the neces-
sary financial arrangements for taking
over some Of the Judith land
City Market Looking UP.
The Lcwistown realty market Is
looking up in fine shape. Residential
lots are selling readily. All Of those
individuals and firms who are handl-
ing the various new additions to the
city report thriving business While
much Of this property is going to out
side investors, the people in the city
who have few spare simoleons are
showing their faith i'll the town and
its future by getting hold OF an odd
lot here and there.
Many rumors are flying as to
negotiations for centrally located
property on Main or within block
Of that thoroughfare. Some hand
some offers from outside parties have
been made for certain tracts, but no
deals have been closed up to date, al
though the indications are bright for
an important transfer before the end
Of the present week.

players, but they were lacking in team
work Sunday. Sampson looms up as
a capable pitcher and Toresdale will
go the route with decent support.
Although their favorites sustained
a bad licking their first time out on
the local grounds. the fans OF Lewis
town can be assured that they will see
many good games here before the
season closes. The boys are practicing
faithfully and are determined to even
up with the deservedly chesty bunch
from Philbrook before the season is
far advanced. With Eddie Baker
handling the indicator, there was no
occasion for any wrangling Sunday
and the local management will insist
upon clean, sportsmanlike conduct on
the part Of the local players through
out the summer. A big crowd was
out Sunday and we prophesy that
there will be yet larger bunch Of
fans in the grandstand and bleacher,

Public Meeting to Be Held Thursday
Evening at the Court House and
All Uregd to Attend.
one OFFER IS MADE
Owners of Park Addition Agree to
Sell Beautiful Site to City for
Eleven Thousand Dollars.

In order to arrive at the sentiment
Of the community with reference to
the question Of purchasing ground for
a city park, Mayor Marshall and the
city council have called mass meet
ing Of citizens, to be held at the court
house next Thursday evening, at
which time those favoring and those
who oppose any propositions now be-
fore the council will be given an op-
portunity OF voicing their sentiments
Tender Is Made.
The owners Of Park addition to the
city have offered to sell beautifully
located tract Of land in that addition,
at the head OF Fifth avenue, to the
city for $1,000. Much work has al
ready been done on this tract of land,
including, among other improvements.
the grading for a pretty little lake.
which can easily be fed fom Casino
creek. Those who are acquainted
with the facts consider the offer an
advantageous one, and the terms are
such as to enable the municipality to
take care Of the proposition without
a great deal of additional expense in
the way of taxes.
Park Badly Needed.
Lewistown has attained size which
makes it highly necessary for some
action to be taken. The city is grow
ing rapidly, has the certain promise
of yet more rapid growth during
the years to come, and with this
growth, land values III and near the
lefty are rapidly increasing. 1t will
be but year or two before all avail
able sites close in shall have been
divided up into town lots and sold
If the city is to have park at all
action must not be long delayed. The
council is desirous of taking action
but does not care to assume the full
sponsibilities OF such an expendi-
ture without first getting the senti-
ment Of the community.
1t is urgently requested that all at.
tend the meeting to be held Thursday
evening.
