Marshalltown Times Republican:
Nothing has done 90 much for 80 many
men as necessity. More than ambi-
ton, necessity creates and does and
accomplishes. Necessity Is not entire
ly a driver. It inspires. Work done
because OF necessity Is not slavery.
1t is duty. Blessed is the man who
lies under it. He works, lives, accom-
plishes. He gains the sense OF duty
done.

PEARANCE OF QUAY
DISCOVERY THOUGHT TO HAVE
POSSIBLE BEARING ON
MATTER.

The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of William Quay, a young
Scotch rancher, over eight years ago,
may be solved at last. A few days
ago Jud McWilliams, a well-known
resident of the Mcdonald creek coun-
try, went up to the Snowy mountains
hunting coyotes. His quest took him
into some unfrequented spots and at
one Of these he noticed mans skull
and an old canteen. The skull and
canteen had evidently dropped from
the rimrock above, which had given
away. Mr.. McWilliams did not look
further, but returning. reported the
matter to the officers. An investiga-
tion will be made.
When Quay disappeared he carried
a canteen, it is said. and went in the
direction of the Snowies. 1t was along
near the beginning of 1905 that he dis
appeared. Quay had located some
three years earlier at the head of East
Fork, and being thrifty and enterpris-
ing, was prospering. The condition of
things at his ranch made it certain
that he had expected to be back soon
when he left. The man was well
known and popular and Judge Roy E.
Ayers. then county attorney, and L. P.
Slater, then sheriff, started an inves-
tigation. Many searching parties took
the field and Judge Ayers himself once
went with party to the Snowies. No
trace of the missing man was ever
found, however.
Immediately after his disappearance
letter was received from Scotland
addressed to Quay, which contained
the information that he had been left
considerable property there. He has
never appeared to claim it and the
conclusion was long ago reached that
he met death in some way, probably
thru an accident Demo

limitations of the pay checks of the

of the Roundup Coal Company have
been stolen and the checks filled In.
The passer of the bad check is about

THOMPSON RANCH
REMAINS UNSOLD
LATE j. p. MORGAN WAS INTER.
ESTED IN DEAL TO ACQUIRE
HOLDINGS.
Ranch Not For Sale Now
Death of J. Pierpont Morgan, Who
Was Moving Spirit in Syndicate to
Acquire Million Acres of Land
Brings to Close Negotiations for Pur.
chase Of Vast Holdings Of Rufus 3.
Thompson In MusselsheIi County.

The Rufus Thompson ranch of 5000
acres in Musselshell county remains
unsold altho the general impression
has been for several months past that
a deal transferring the property had
been made. This was learned from
Mr.. Thompson who has been In the
city this week, with the further In.
formation that the late ]. Pierpont
Morgan was the leading spirit in 4
syndicate which was negotiating for
the big ranch, and whose recent death
brought the negotiations to a close
without deal being affected. This
syndicate, Mr.. Thompson said, had
plans under way for the purchase Of
a million acres Of land in the west,
tho details of which had been formu.
lated shortly before Mr.. Morgan left
for Egypt to regain his health.
Il am not sorry that the deal fell
thru" said Mr.. Thompson In an in
terview with a representative of The
Record yesterday. Il have just come
to the conclusion that now is the time
should hold on to my ranch. Why
should dispose Of my holdings now
and give somebody else chance to
make as much from the deal In q few
years as have made during the past
thirty years? The new line Of the
N. p. which Is bound to come in q
short time will pass right thru my
ranch and will greatly enhance it's
value. Having made my home at the
ranch for the past thirty years, am
not going to be in hurry to part
with It. The ranch is not on the mar.
ket now, altho | may decide to sell
some Of my holdings on the outside
away from the home ranch"
The Thompson ranch is one OF the
largest ranches In this section Of
Montana which still remains intact.
It comprises more than 5000 acres
along lower Willow creek in Mussel-
shell county and most of it Is under
ditch
