Dennis J. Lynch, a hOmesteader
who had proved up, was most foully
murdered in his ranch barn at about
six O'Clock on Monday evening. The
body was first discovered by Matt
Bergen, a friend and neighbOr, who
had ridden over from the G.. II. Stone
ranch to secure Il horse which he had
purchased OH Sunday. Matt stopped
at the house and not finding Mack"
as he was familiarly called, walked
on: to the barn leading his saddle
horse. 1t was about 1870 and he
peere,l into the barn where he saw
the body of Lynch with blood upon
the face. He did not enter the barn
but called to him several times and
receiving NJ answer mounted his
horse and struck for town rs fast as
he could.
DR.. Cans left for the scene as soon
as notified by Bergen and arrived at
ter darkness had fallen. The oil
lamp from the automobile was used
tofurnisn light by which to view the
body, and the evidences OF murder
!, were overlooked because of the lack
of light, also from the fact that the
| man who committed the deed had
laid the body directly behind the
the stall of IL horse that is known to
be Il bad actor and then threw the
| harness about in such Il manner rs to
lead those viewing the remains to
him to death and then escaped into
the field.
Coroner q. G. Perkins and County
Attorney Husband were summoned
and the next morning the coroner
and the jury, which he had impaneled
together with Il large number OF citi-
Zens, went to the ranch and made Il
thorough search Of the premises.
Deputy Sheriff Rice discovered u

GOOD DAIRY SIRES
VERY ESSENTIAL

Thousands Of dollars will be spent
in the next few years to import dairy
sires into Montana. Some people
will become possessed with the idea
that purebred sires are necessary to
improvement. Many will overlook
the fact that most Of the pure breds
are incapable of improving the quail
ty. They forget that paper pedigrees
and fancy points and good looks have
been sought at the expense of useful
ness. Often the purebred is weak in
tis inheritance of dairy quality. ~
Tie one thing that needs to 6e i'm
pressed upon dairymen more than
anything else at the present time is
the imperative need of good sires.
You may reduce or destroy even av-
erage dairy qualities by using infer
ior males. Pure breeding and pedi-
gree are no guarantee of value unless
you know how to interpret them.
BE sure the dam of the sire you
choose is Il great producer. BE sure
that his sire's dam was also a great
producer. The more great producers
you can find in the last three genera
tiOns of ancestors the better.
Then make sure that the sire has
dairy form and pOints-high and thin
in the withers. deep and long in the
barrel, we'll developed rudimentaries
\
A good individual. from good stock
will get heifers that will pay large
profits. A paper pedigree, however
fashionable. without merit, will des.
troy any hope of profit from the next
generation.

DENNIS ]. LYNCH F0ULLY
MURDERED BY UNKNOWN

by blows upon the head from an in
strument or instruments in the hands
of II party or parties unknown to u.s.
| pom further examination 1t was
found that the bullet which had been
fired had penetrated his clothing and
had passed directly over the abdO-
men cutting holes in all the clothing
but making no mark upon the body.
1t is presumed that the murderer was
waiting in small bin in the back of
the barn and when Lynch appeared
he fired, and finding that he had miss
ed all chances of making it appear as
suicide by shooting, he took the
next best method which was to ham.
mer him upon the head with an iron
and strew the harness about so that
it would look as though bad horse
had caused the death.
The officials and the people in gen.
eral have been in considerable of a
quandry as to the reason for the
crime and with regard to who could
have committed it, There appears to
be no dispute at this time over the
total elimination of the robbery
theory despite the fact that the dead
mans watch was missing. That the
crime h; d been premet!itated and was
for the purpose of wreaking vengeance
has been fully agreed upon by a
majority OF those who viewed the
scene.
People who were acquainted with
Mack Lynch in this section declare
him to have been one OF the most pea
cable and law abiding citizens to be
found in any community. He was Il
good man, IA good farmer and IL credit
to any country.
Dennis }. Lynch came here about
five years ago from Whitehall, this
state, and Il short time previous from
the neighborhOod Of Churches Ferry,
| N. ID. lie was man tifty-three
years Of age, was born in Fillmore
county. Minnesota. Telegrams were
sent to Chattield and Preston, Minn.,
and an answer received saying that Il
brother, Will Lynch, would leave at
once. He arrived OH Thursday NOR
ming and left the same afternoon with
the remains. The deceased ia SUR
vived by three brothers. William
and George OF Chatfi,ld, and Edward
of Chicago.

PRECIOUS GEMS
IN MONTANA

Gems and precious stones were pro-
duced in the the United States in 1912
to the value of s3l9,722 according to
Douglas b. Sterrett. of the United
States Geological survey. The kinds
of precious stones found in the Unit
ed States are many, ranging from
diamonds of fine quality to low
grade stones such as agates, but as is
seen from the total value of the out
put there are no really large opera
tiOns.
The principal gem mineral mined
the United States during 1912 was
the Montana sapphire. of which
there was large output for use both
us gems and III mechanical applica-
tions. The greater part of the gem
sapphires came from the mines in
Fergus county where they occur in II
rock matrix. The majority of these
stones have the true sapphire-blue
color. The bulk of the sapphire for
mechanical use came from the placer
deposits in Granite and Deer Lodge
counties and consist of varicolOred
stones.

JAIL FOR CARLISLE.
Newberry Banker to Serve Sentence
in Home Town.

Washington, July 25.--As a result
OF constant efforts on the part of Sem
ator Tillman. Representative Aiken
and other members of the South Car
olina delegation in congress President
Wilson today signed an order to the
proper authorities for Milton A. Car
Isle. the Newberry banker, who was
some time ago convicted of misman-
agement of national bank funds, to be
confined for the present in the New
berry county Jail. During President
Taft's administration Carlisle's SEN
tence was cOmmuted from five years
to one year and one day and it is
learned from the department of JUS
tice that efforts have been made still
further to reduce this term of impris-
onmcnt.
Recently stories were sent out to
the effect that Carlsle's sentence had
been again cOmmuted, but these were
incorrect, as learned here today, af-
had seen President Wilson and from
what the pardon attorney of the de-
partmcnt of justice said concerning
the matter. In word, the case
stands this way: Carlisle is under
sentence of a year and a day in the
federal prison at Atlanta, but in ac-
cordance with President Wilson's
promise and order today he will, at
least for the present, be confined in
the Newberry county Jail and will
not be sent to Atlanta. What further
action may be taken by the president
looking to more cutting down of the
sentence is a matter that has not yet
been announced.
