According to the story told BY
Lawrence Mclaughlin, who is in
Jail here charged with the murder
of p. r. Duffy near Garneill Sun
day night, the men had some trou-
BILE about twelve years ago over a
line fence, when, according to Nc.
Laughlin, he was assaulted by Duf.
fy and since then he has endeavor
ed in every way to avoid any
trouble. Sunday evening while he
was milking near his house Duffy
and a hired man drove up. Duffy
stated that some of McLaughlin's
horses had gotten into his field and
although Mclaughlin tried to pac
ify the man. Duffy struck and
kicked him. Mclaughlin says
Duffy also reached into his coat
pocket, whereupon he retreated to
pe
the kitchen only ten yards away.
His sons automatic shotgun chanc-
ed to be standing by the door and
picking it up lie fred one shot, the
charge taking effect in ! Duffy's
head.
Mclaughlin has rcslded. in this
county twenty seven years and in
the early days was a school teach
er here. He is fifty-four years old
and has wife and three children.
He has always been considered a
peaceable citizen. When seen at
the county jail Mclaughlin ex-
pressed the deepest regret over
the affair, and said he acted in self
defense.

and gave his neighbor instructions
to pasture his stock on his own
land. An alteration ensued and
Duffy slapped Mclaughlin in the
face and then kicked him, accord
ing TO the story.
The affair was apparently over
for the time and Mclaughlin start
ed for the house, while Duffy and
his hired man prepared to 60 on
their way. Mclaughlin emerged
with an automatic shotgun and
said something, which was indis-
tinguishable to Duffy's man, but
which was answered by Duffy, who
said: Yes, I'll stand up. He.
arose in the buggy and McLaugh-
lin fired from a distance Of possibly
thirty feet, the bullet striking
Duffy in the face. He toppled out
Of the wagon and was dead. almost
instantly. The hired man notified
neighbors, as well as the officials.
Under Sheriff Slater of Fergus
county and Deputy Sheriff Rice of
Meagher county arrived at the
scene and found the murderer in
the house and willing to give him
self up to the authorities, but he
seemed to think that he should be
admitted to bail without further
! formalities. He had sent for his
brother Harvey and had told him
] to watch the body, which was left
! where it fell.
i Duffy and Mclaughlin are said
J, to have had considerable trouble
about ten years ago and at that
time both are said to have been
prepared to shoot each other on
the slightest provocation.

their contract at q good figure,
They possess neither the means to
construct nor the abilityy5to interest
capital in the construction of the
project. This statement is amply
verified by the tive years in which
they have had to finance the pro.
ject. Furthermore, they have tes.
titled to this fact before the Joint
investigating committees appoint
ed by the twelfth and thirteenth
Legislative assemblies Of the state
Of Montana.
The Carey Land projects as a
whole throughout the state have
not been successful and have work
ed to the dctriment Of the agricul-
tural development Of the state. Of
the many thousands of acres of
splendid agricultural lands that
were segregated by the 1911 legis-
lative assembly, less than 10000
acres have actually been irrigated,
The water supply for this pro.
jeet is entirely dependent upon
the flood waters Of the north and
south forks Of the Musselshell riv-
er, aud as the nominal flow of
these streams has already been de
creed, we do not think they will
lever be able to secure sufficient
lw.ater IN To irrigate aly eonsid derable
portion of the land under the pro
ject. .s
The cost of the land to the set
tier Of the Musselshell project will
! be excessive. The cost now esti-
mated by the promoters is $42.5O
per acre. In view of the history
OF the Carey lands, private and
government, in this state, the estl-
mated cost is far too low and a
conservative estimate. would be at
least $50 per acre.
The land is not arid, The land ad
, jaccnt, under the application Of
practical farming methods, are
producing and have been for the
past four years, abundant crops OF
all small grains, grasses and vege.
tables. This statement is verified
by aMdavits of actual farmers here
to attached and made part Of
this report.
The opening of this land for ell
try will furnish homes for hundreds
of families who are now seeking
lands in the great west. 1t will
also materially aid in the develop
ment Of cur country and com
munity.

Another murder was committed
near Judith Gap last Sunday when
L. T.. Mclaughlin shot and Instant
ly killed PatDuffy. The quarrel
was over the trespass Of McLaugh
Inns horses on Duffy's grain. Duff
fly had evidently driven over TO
the Mclaughlin ranch to expostu-
late with Mclaughlin over the
trespass and u quarrel ensued.
Duffy slapped McLaughlin's face
and kicked him, Whereupon Nc
Laughlin went into the house and
secured an automatic shotgun and
threatened to shoot. Duffy, who
had climbed into his buggy, stood
up in the buggy and defied Nc
sLaughlin to shoot. Being in a
towering rage, as nlost men would
at such ignOminiOuS treatment, Nc
Laughlin raised the gun and shot
tearing the top of Duffy's head off.
Duffy was vice. president of the
Security State bank of Judith Gap
and an old time resident of Fergus
county.
A special dispatch to the Ana

has the following to say of the af
fair:

and stockman, was shot and in

AAQulSAiHcAU VI VIE ldnu ot4lGSdU
ed in 1908 under the Cary land
act, by T. H Ray Of Helena and 4.
I. Black of Missoula, and which
has been in circulation here for
some weeks past has been forward
ed to the Department Of the In
terror. The land in question con-
tains approximately 21,O0O acres,
10000 of which Is prime agricul-
tural land and 1000 grazing land.
The people of Harlowton and VII
cinity have been very patient with
the promoters Of this project and
in September 1912, r. II. Ray, the
president of the project, entered
into a written agreement with the
Harlowton Chamber Of Commerce
that if at the expiration Of nine
months they did not have the pro,
ject we'll under way, they would
relinquish the land back to the
1 government. The nine months
period has expired but no progress
in the developing or financing Of
the project has been made neither
has the land been relinquished.
! The prayer Of the petitioners
+ cites that they are conversant
with the financial ability Of the
promoters, and it is#a gross inius-
tices to the business and agricul-
tural interests of this community
! that this tract Of land should lie
in idleness without any evidence
whatever Of development, when
hundreds of homeseekers are
ready and waiting to file on this
land and convert it into revenue
producing farms. The only work
that has been accomplished by the
promoters is=a preliminary survey.
When /. r. McQuitty was a mem
ber of the state legislature lie in.
introduced a bill to abolish the
Gary land act entirely and a bill
was also introduced in the senate
I. ,
to relieve individual projects but
these bills were defeated by men
who were interested in such pro
jects throughout the state.
The project which the Harlow.
ton people are interested in get
ting annulled is very favorably
situated and the annual precipita
tion is fifteen and one half inches
being the average for the past
twelve years. Professor Cooley
ofsthe State Agricultural College
states that the precipitation is am
ply sufficient to produce practically
T.
all the farm crops indigenous te
our soil.
The petition further states: !.
The promoters of the project
have secured little if any OF the
right-of-Way over privately decided
landslide securing of which will bt
a source Of much litigation anl
will involve multiplicity of law
suits which will delay the constrnc
tion Of the bitches for years, pro
yiding the promoters had the abil
ity to finance the project.
The promoters have not show
good faith in furthering the pro
ject, and have been fertile in th,
invention of excuses for delay. Ii
fact, they have used every mean
their creative geniuses could cor
