BLOODY ROW
AT MOORE
Three Men Start Out to Paint
The Town Red and End Up
Very Disastrously

A serious shooting atfray took
place Saturday evening at about
dusk at Moore, when Nels Burke
was shot and killed and Walter
Busse was wounded in the arm,
the shots being fired by one Of
| IL Bohunk laborers.
Sheriff Woods and Deputy Co.
Attorney McConochie were taken
out to the scene of the trouble by
Ed Baker in an auto last evening,
and all of the IL men in the Moore
Jail, pending the inquest.
The story told by the officers is
that Nels Burke, Walter Busse and
Walter Hoover, three men who
recently arrived in the Judith
basin from Oklahoma. and who
were working on a thrcshing out
lift near Moore, last night went to
that town. evidently to have a
good time. They first visited q
rooming house, which is now va
5cant, and one Of them kicked in
#one Of the doors of the house.
They then went down to TIE right
sof-Way Of the Milwaukee, where
the laborers we're living, and evi-
IDENTIFY started rough house.
They are said to have knocked
down the foreman Of tho crew and
sito have handled others roughly.
One Of the laborers rushed into
the section house and came out
with a shotgun and began firing
at the three men. Burke was shot
and killed, while Busse was badly
wounded in the left arm. There
is danger of blood poisoning set
ting in and the wound is said to
be serious.
Busse and Hoover then ran
away from the attacking Bohunks
and hid behind some cars until
they got out of reach.
The Bohunks then voluntarily
surrendered themselves to the
officers and were placed in jail.
Eleven were arrested.
Hoover went to Lewistown and
was picked up by Sheriff Woods
and placed in jail. He was taken
out to the inquest by Deputy
Lacock which was conducted be-
fore Justice Klinefelter.

the shooting concerns G. M. Clary,
former sheriff of the county. Mr..
Clary heard number of shots

hardware store and armed himself.
( Then he went down to the bunk
cars to investigate and to uphold
law and order if necessary. But
the Bohunks had already surren-
dered and all further trouble was
altar end.

not distant future, become dis

center. A transcontinental road,

Attorney |. D. Glenn, Candidate
For the Legislature. Brief
Resume Of His Career

Lewis ~. Glenn, Une hepuDlIcaH
nominee for Representative from
Meagher county, was born on a
farm in Hooking county, Ohio,
Sept. 26, 1876. While yet a mere
child, his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
L. III. Glenn, removed to Vernon
county, Wisconsin,, where they
took up land in what was then a
wilderness. There L. D. received
his early education, graduating
from the High School Of Viroqua,
Wisconsin iii 1896. He is the
eldest Of four boys in the family,
two Of whom, Robert w. and Wor-
Icy B., are employed III the car
department Of the @. M. 81 =. s.
Railway Go. at Harlowton, Mont.
While attending school in Wis
consin, the subject Of this sketch
resided upon farm, and his first
occupation was naturally that of a
farmer. Tn 1896 he began his
teaching career in the public
schools Of Wisconsin, and at the
completion Of his second years ex-
perience in school work in Wiscon-
sin, he came to Montana, his future
home. During the year 1898 and
1899 he was an instructor in the
city schools of Livingston, Park
county, Montana, and for the five
subsequent years was principal OF
schools at Aldridge in the same
county. While teaching, his spare
moments were devoted to the study
Of law, and in the year 1904 he
entered the law department Of the
University of Michigan, at Ann
Arbor, from which institution he
graduated with honors in the class
Of 1907. The Supreme Court of
Michigan that year admitted him
to the practice Of law in that
state.
Returning to Montana the sum
mer Of 1907, Mr.. Glenn was ad-
mitted to practice in the courts of
Montana and the Federal Courts.
He thereupon began the practice
Of his profession in Harlowton,
Meagher county, then village Of
but a few hundred inhabitants,
and prior to the completion of the
Milwaukee road through this sec
tion. He was Che first attorney to
locate within the county at any
point other than White Sulphur
Springs.
He later filed upon and received
title to, homestead but a short
distance from IIarloWton. About
twosyea ago he was married tc
Miss Edna Regene Caine, daugh
ter Of Conductor M. I. Caine, OF
Harlowton. Mr.. Glenn is enjoy

He has always taken anactiye part
in the political affairs of his county

This Great Fertile Country
Would Ever Be As 1t Is
In the old days, Meagher Co. and
this part Of Montana was famous
as a stock country, and the typical
old timer never dreamed Of seeing
it great agricultural country.
Only four years ago merchants
shipped in wheat for chicken feed,
and the builder Of the first elevator
and mill was thought to be a sort
Of a harmless lunatic, with dreams
never to be realized. For the en-
tire county less than 500 bushels
of wheat were raised.
This year Meagher county's pro
duction Of wheat will be over 6OO,.
600 bushels, and the local mill is
doubling its capacity, and planning
to make it even larger for the
future. In addition to an increase
of 200, bushels elevator capacity
at Harlowton, the local company
have built six new elevators iii
other towns in the Harlowton dis
trict, and yet we are just beginning.
Agriculture is in its infancy
here, as yet less than 10 per cent
Of the tillable lands are in cultiva-
tion. Surrounding Ilarlowton as d
trading point there are upwards of
100000 acres Of tillable land, every
16O acres capable Of furnishing a
good home for families, and adding
about 1900 people to our rural
population when all the land is
occupied. Every two families To-
Gated il the country means one
family added to the town in which
these families make their trading
point.
A systematic advertising cam
paign in Canada and other parts
of the west has lured thousands of
the best farmers away from their
high priced lands, and hundreds Of
others will come to this part of
Montana, Meagher County, when
they know about the oppor tunities
that are to be had. Let us not be
stingy in letting the world know
what we have.
What a prodigal waste for five
acres of the best wheat land in all
this country to be used to support
one sheep, when the same five acres
will raise 125 bushels of choice
hard wheat and still support the
sheep as a by product. Ohio,
highly developed as an agricul-
tural state, with a land area OF
less than one third of Montana,
supports nine tenths as many sheep
| as Montana. We need not be
alarmed over the future of the
stock business Of this state. be.
cause each year more and more
land is being cultivated. We will
continue to raise as much stock
and multiply our farm products
many times.
Montana, the premier mining
state, known the world over for its
mineral production, is now produc
ing, in value more wheat than its
entire mineral output, and the
flax crop this year is greater thar
the wool clip, and yet in 1904, on :
map. showing a division of agri
cultural products, Montana was
listed as producing only wool ane
live stock.
{ OF all the vast quantity of good
untitled land, Meagher coun ty, ar
especially that part around Hal
loWton, has splendid opportunitie
for the farmer. Only today th

TO THE PUBLIC

Rumors to the effect that Neider's
opera house and orchestra are giving
dance on :'New Years Eve" in oppos-
ition to the "Wabeno band," also that
the band had decided to give dance
on that date first, is either an error or
an untruth. wish to state that this
date had been discussed and decided
upon by the orchestra, bills printed
and partly posted, before the band had
decided to-give dance at all. Some
of the members of the band are also
members of the orchestra and under
the consideration there are no possible
grounds for such rumors.
Having taken this means of letting
the public know the truth about this
matter am, Yours truly,

FOR THE KIDNEYS
A Guaranteed Treatment. Money Back

A Guaranteed treatment. uoney DdCh
if it Fails
Kidney diseases are more prevalent
than is generally supposed, and are not
always recognized as such. What was
at first but slight arrangement of the
kidneys often results in Indigestion,
rheumatism, anaemia, chroAlc and very
painful headache, neuralgia, eye weak
ness, and other diseases OF most ag-
gravating type. Therefore 1t is highly
important and absolutely necessary
that the kidneys and the urinary sys-
TEN be kept in an active and healthy
condition.
After thorough experience with
the most successful forms of kidney
treatments, we are confident that the
one remedy which embraces the most
desirable, safe and etficaclous curative
qualities, so necessary TO the successful
treatment and positive eradication. of
kidney diseases In general, is Rexall
Kidney Pills.
We are so positive that Rexall Kid
ney Pills are uneXcelled, and that they
will do all we claim, that we sell them

We particularly recommend Rexall
Kidney Pills tor kidney ailments that
resist ordinary treatment. We believe,
if taken according to directions with
regularity and persistency for a reason
able length of time, they will positively
remove all symptoms and effect per-
manent relief.
Surely we could not more strongly
demonstrate our faith in Relall Kidney
Pills. and our generous guarantee

Many rumors have reached us of
death by freezing, only in two or three
cases have we been able to verify the

the following from Dalhart, Texas,
which we hope are rumors rather than
facts;
Dalhart, Texas, Jan. 15.-Meager re-
ports from No Mans Land, over the
Texas border in Oklahoma, brings the
information that seven persons have
been frozen to death there during the
recent blizzard. According to the re-
ports, which come mostly by crippled
telephone service. A family of five
and two others are reported among
the dead
Citizens Of Guymon, Okla, are said
to have discovered the family frozen
on a farm. Four of them had died
from cold in dugout. The father
apparently had started after supplies,
and was found short distance away
Everything in the house had been
burned, including the bedding, in their
fight against the cold.
Harry Falls, who lived three miles
from Hooker, Okla, was frozen to
death while returning home with sup
plies. A freighter, whose name is not
known, was frozen to death between
Liberal, Kansas, and Ochiltree, Texas.
Other families in that section are
reported to have moved from one room
to another, burning the furniture in
each room as they moved.
An unconfirned report is to the ef.
fest that a family had started in an
open wagon for Guymon, and met
death in the blizzard. In Dallam
county to-day the weather is moderat
ing and the snow rapidly melting.
