KILLS HIMSELF
Joe BIackaby, Herding for W.
B. Cooley, Shoots Half His
Head Away.

Word was brought to the city
Tuesday morning by NJ. NJ. Curtin
that Joe Blackaby, one Of w. B.
Coolcy's herders had shot himself
at his camp on Fish Creek. The
coroner was notified at once and
sent an undertaken down to look
at the body. He arrived Tuesday
night and drove out to the
camp, where he made thorough
examination of the body and was
convinced that it was case of
suicide SO lie brought the body to
town.
At the time of the suicide the
camp teLder, who was staying in
the wagon with BIackaby, had left
the wagon to bring the sheep back
onto the bed ground, they having
left during the night and had
drifted about half a mile away.
This was about 1 a. III. When
he got within a few feet of sthe
wagon he heard the shot and rushed
into the wagon to find his compan-
ion with 3O.3O Winchester living
lengthwise on his body and the
entire left side of his head blown
away. Death had been instantan-
eous. The bullet entered his head
right above the bridge of the nose
and being one of the soft-nose var
iety tore the entire upper half of
the head away.
The camp-tendcr said that Joe
had not been sleeping very much
since he had the trouble with Dol
vey's herder, and that for the two
nights previous he had not slept
at all. Outside of this there is
nothing known that was troubling
him. The dead man had no rela-
tives that were known. The body
was buried in the Musselshell \
cemetery this afternoon. Mussel-
she'll Advocate.

UNCLE SAM
CHECKS MONEY
Balance Sheet Of Receipts, Etc.
Shows Nation to be
Prosperous.

Washington, Dec. 31.-JTncle
Sam closed his accounts for the
year 1912 with plenty of money in
his pockets and a balance sheet of
receipts and expenditures that
bespoke the prosperity of the ma
tion.
For the first half of the current
fiscal year, ending today, disburse
ments exceeded receipts by be-
tween $2,OOO,OOO and $4,000, 600,
according to the estimate of treas
ury officials, the exact figures for
Dec. 81 not being available.
The deficit a year ago on the
other hand was more than S;2l,
397, 900.
This improvement over last year
is due to the remarkable increase
in customs and internal revenue
receipts in the last six months.
Receipts from all sources from July
to December were approximately
S353,OOO, 900, or more than 1913
100000 greater than the CORES
ponding period of 1911.
The total expenditures for the
six months ending today were
about s356,ooo,oOo. This was
nearly S5,0O0,O0O greater than for
the same period last year, the i'll
crease being due mainly to large
expenditures for the navy and the
increased pension payments as a
result of the pension legislation of
the last congress.
