THIRTY YEARS
FOR MURDER
COLUMBIA FALLS MURDERER
PLEAD GUILTY TO MURDER
IN SECOND DEGREE.

Quick work was made Tues
day morning in the district court
of the case of the State vs.. Tom
Kelley, charged with the murder of
Frank Murphy in Columbia Fails the
first part of September. At his ar
raignment Reilly entered a plea Of
not guilty to murder in the first de-
gree, but Friday morning his at
torneys changed the plea to that Of
guilty of murder in the second de-
gree.
The court accepted the plea and
sentenced Reilly to term of thir-
ty years in the state penitentiary.
The confessed murderer heard the
sentence nonchalantly. He is 46
years of age and on his good be-
havior could be- paroled in about
fifteen years. But fifteen years at
hard labor will have absorbed most
of mans life at Reilly's age.
The crime was committed on the
main street of Columbia Falls one
afternoon when Murphy, Shafer and
Reilly came down from the Eagles
nest at Coram to spend the day.
Evidently there had been some trou-
BILE between Murphy and his asso-
ciates. It is believed that the gang
had committed some previous crime
and that they were afraid Murphy
was about to let the cat out OF the
bag. Reilly and Murphy became in
volved in quarrel in a saloon
Shafer is said to have secured q
gun for Reilly, with which the lat
ter advanced on Murphy who WELD
ed knife. Reilly shot Murphy down
in cold blood when yet about 20
feet from HIM. 1t ID thought by 10
cal authorities that the gang may
have been responsible for the death
OF the man found i'm the Flakhaadl
river last spring. - - 7'Ts'e
Shafer. the accomplice Of Reilly
will appear in court this morning
for trial. The charge against him
is also first degree murder.

night the police noticed him at the
depot with the woman getting ready

placed under arrest. After begging
and pleading with the officers that

SOMERS LUMBER COMPANY
LETS CONTRACT FOR q
MILLION FEET Of LOGS
The Biggest Logging Operations Ever
Known in History of County Being
Carried On in All Quarters.
IMMENSE TIMBER WEALTH TRIBUTARY TO WH|TEF|SH

The Somers lumber company last
week closed up another gigantic leg
ging deal with Henry Good to get
out an additional 25 million feet of
logs. These are all to be cut from
land about six miles southwest of
this city along the saltwater river,
and will no doubt help to stimulate
business considerably during the win
ter. This contract is in addition to
the one for 35 million feet which
Mr.. Good closed up couple months
ago, and it will take about two
years to complete the work. Camps
have been established and a great
many men and horses have been en-
gagged for the work. On the two con-
tracts combined Mr.. Good expects to
have over 500 men employed. He
has re-let contracts to J. S. Walters,
Frank Porter, Arthur AyleswoA..
Martin E'..'.a:nson and others.
This r.. : wdll no doubt be {
banner ..ts:s in the logging indus
az every ---5er company dn this
section OF the country is carrying on
extensive logging operations in all
parts OF the county. The Somers
company is probably carrying their
work on . larger scale than any of
the othen. They are getting out
logs near Belton, up the Northfork
and with the big operations going
on west OF here they will cut near
ly a hundred million feet in the next
two years.
Small contractors in this immed-
late vicinity will put about eight,
million feet in Whitefish Lake which
Will be sawed at the local mill Be-
fore the saw mill here is started up
next spring a great many improve
ments will be made which will in
clude the installing Of special saw
to saw the Great Northern famous
three-cornered Jim Hill railroad tie.
Just now the logging contractors
are praying for snow. They need Il.
badly to carry on the work satdsfac-
torily. Huge piles of logs are ready
for hauling to the streams as SEGA
a. the snow comes.
Mr.. Good stated in an tuterview
that the timber resources of this val
ley are unknown, even to some of
the old timers here. So far the only
timber that has been cut has been
along the streams and creeks where
1t has been easy to get at, and is in
significant compared with the great
amount of standing timber that cov-
ers the mountain slopes to the west,
north and east.
One cannot get any idea OF the
great mass of timber wealth stored
up in this valley until he climbs to
the peak of some high mountain and
he can gaze over considerable terri
tory. AS far as the eye can reach in
nearly all directions the mountains
and valley will be seen covered with
what looks like a green blanket of
pine, spruce and larch, the surface
being broken only here and there by
a silvery lake or stream.

The Whitefish Commercial Asscci-

the proposition they put through at
their last meeting when they appoint
ed q committee to get busy at once
with the building of a public skating
rink. This rink now i'm due course
OF construction in the ball park
d being built wholly at the expense
OF the Association. Percy Robinson
has been hired Tor the season to
look after It and keep 1t in good
shape. He wdll see that it is clean
ed up after each snow fall and that
the ice is always dn a first class
condition. Benches will be erected
for the convenience OF the patrons.
and later on a warming. house will
be built. Negotiations are now on to
have the electric light company
string lights over the rink so that
those who cannot get out in the day
time will be able to enjoy the sport
after dark. Mr.. Robinson In taking
charge OF the rink will be empower
ed with the full duties OF a police

RICH GOLD ORE IN
 ~MOHAVE MINES.

Last Tuesday morning Sid. Reeves, special messenger of the Tom Reese Gold Mines Company, arrived in King man from the property with four bars of bullion weighing above 500 pounds and having value of $100,00O,the re- suit of three weeks run of the mill. About three weeks ago the same mes senger brought in about $7O,0OO in bullion, and about the last week in this month another big bar will be forthcoming.
 The Tom Reed mines are now pro ducing some of the richest ore in it's history and it is probable that this production will be continued for some months. The lower grades of ore will not be extracted until the larger mill and more economical methods are in stalled. While the present method O. handling ores from mine to bullion is month by month being improved upon by the addition of more economical machines, with a greater mill and the knowledge gained by past experience the company will greatly cut the fixed charges. In the mine are thousands of tons of ore that will run well over $14, the stopes showing a width of sixteen feet of ore, and when cheaper power and larger milling fla cilities are installed this ore will turn out an immense amount of bullion.
