''In all those things that make for
civic righteousness and the lasting

WALTER CHENEY
PASSES AWAY

Walter G. Cheney, the Denton con-
stable who was shot last Tuesday
night in the vicinity of that town
while trying to arrest Stanley Il.
Scotield, died in the Lewistown hos
ptal on Tuesday morning of this
week, shortly after preparations had
been made to perform an operation
which was hoped would prove
successful in removing the bullet
from the proximity of the spine.
He had been very cheerful since
entering the hospital last Saturday
and seemed to take another hold upon
his glimmering fe after being told
of what small chance he had for re-
coyery as shown by the X-ray photo
graph. He was happy at all times
and talked and chatted with friends
and relatives just as though he were
in his usual healthy condition. The
only thing that seemed to worry him
was the thought that he had taken
human life even though it mad to be
done to protect his own as well as
numbers Of others.
Mrs. y. ii. Cheney, mother Of the
deceased, from Grinnell, kas., and
". l.. Cheney. a brother, from Fort
Collins, Col, arrived in this city on
sunday morning and in company with
MIR. Bring and Mr.. and Mrs. Chaus-
see went to lewistown to see Walter.
MIR. Cheney felt very much disap-
pointed over the failure of relatives
ut Billing to send the two little child
rem to him before his operation.
The mother and brother went
through the city on Wednesday TAX
ing the body to Vermillion, ). d..
where it will be laid ut rest beside
his wife. They. were accompanied by
John Bring, who, though his business
required his attention here, could not
let his brother 60 without showing
him all the worldly c0urtesies possi-

HEAVY SNOW
ON GROUND

The Judith Gap section has been
covered with a heavy blanket of snow
this week. About five inches of
snow fell and it has been very slow
melting away.
Much more moisture fell in the i'm
mediate vicinity Of this city than in
any other portion Of central Montana
according to reports from all direc-
tiOns. The weather was not cold dur
ing the snowfall. but people who
were forced to be out of doors found
it to be rather disagreeable.
The threshing in this section is
pretty well cleaned up. There are
some few fields of shock thresl,ing to
be done away with vet and the stack
threshing is being rapidly flushed.
The SHOWS during the past month
have greatly inconvenienced the
farmers who had planned blowing up
large acrages for spring crops, but
then the majority Of them feel highly
elated over the abundance of mOis-
ture which has been falling and are
planning to conserve as much as will
be possible.
