TEAM RUNS AWAY

While going down the Behner hill,
ii miles north of Glasgow, Wednes-
day of last week, William Squires
had narrow escape from being kill
ed.
Squires was on his way north with
a load of lumber and other supplies,
the wagon being loaded very heavily.
Going down the Behner hill his team
became frightened and started on a
run. Squires was unable to hold
them and while they were racing down
the steep incline, a barrel of lime
toppled off of the load, and landed on
the pole. Squire also fell off the load,
but managed to hold on to the wagon
pole. The load tipped over but the
team continued running for half a
mile. Mr.. Squires had only a few
scratches to show for his thrilling ex-
perience and the team escaped with
out injury.

IS KILLED OVER
RANGE DISPUTE
George Ball Shot William Long
Tuesday Morning.
SELF DEFENSE CLAIMED
Long Had Made Threats That He
Would Kill Ball. Was Hiding
in Brush on Balls Ranch

"Black Bill" Long of Saco, was
shot and instantly killed Tuseday by
George Ball, on the latter's ranch
Tuesday.
The shooting occurred about 10
O'Clock Tuesday morning on Balls
ranch, just over the Canadian line,
due north of Saco. Ball and Long
had been at outs for years, and recent
trouble over the range had made the
enmity between them very bitter.
"Black Bill" Long, as the report comes
here, had made numerous threats to
"get" Ball, until it had come to a
point that it meant which one could
"draw' first.
"Black Bill" Longs ranch is on the
American side of the line and Balls
ranch is just over the line in Canada.
Tuesday morning one of Balls hired
men discovered Long hiding in the
brush in Balls pasture. He report
ed this to Ball, who took his rifle and
went out to order Long off the place.
According to the story told by Ball,
Long tried to get him, and Ball shot
in self defense, instantly killing Long.
Ball Immediately set out for Saco, to
give himself up to the authorities and
when asked about the shooting said:
"He tried to get me and got him."
AS the shooting occurred in Canada
and Ball is a Canadian, the affair is
under their jurisdiction, and Sher-
if Shaw of Phillips county held Ball
at Malta several days to await the ar
rival of the Canadian authorities. Ball
was in Malta until Thursday night
when he set out for Woody Mountain
to give himself up.
The body of Long had been lying "a.
Balls pasture since the shooting oc-
Cured and Coroner Peterson was
summoned from Glasgow to take care
of the body. The body will be taken
to Saco where the funeral will be held.
Rev. ]. Maurice Hupp of Glasgow will
have charge of the funeral.
"Black Bill" Long is reported to
have been in trouble several times
before and had bad reputation. 1t
;; is said that he killed man in Mexico
! and had been in several other scrapes.
Long was about 65 years old and
Ball is between IS and 40 years. Ball
is married and has three children.

Nashua Wins Opener by Score
of 6 to 4.

Been Strengthened. Play Malta
Here May 23rd.

The baseball season in Glasgow op-
ened Sunday when the fast Nashua
team took the local boys into camp,
winning by score of 6 to 4. Neither
team was in form and the playing was
ragged at times, errors being numer-
Gus on both sides. 1t was an ideal
day for a game, and large crowd
turned out, many coming from Nashua
in automobiles. Benson and Hurry,
for Glasgow and Puckett and Scoville
for Nashua were the batteries.
In the first inning, Nashua got a
four run lead through several errors,
and in the third they added two more
runs. Glasgow got one run in the
fourth, the score standing to /
in favor of Nashua when Glasgow
went to bat in the ninth. Herstrom
started batting rally with neat
single over third and Bardill hit a
smashing three Dagger to deep center,
he locals scoring three runs before the
inning was out, the game ending with
a score of to 4 in favor of Nashua.
Both pitchers pitched good ball,
Pickett being touched for two hits
while Benson allowed but four.
Next Sunday Hinsdale will play
Glasgow on the local dimond.

G.. N. MAKING IMPROVEMENTS

G.. N. MAKING IMPROVEMENTS
The passenger platforms at the
Great Northern Depot are being ex-
tended one hundred feet east and west
and the company is making other
improvements which will greatly add
to the convenience of the travelling
public. This will enable the passen-
gers to alight from or get on trains
comfortably, doing away with the
long step from the coach to the
ground.
An electric alarm bell has recent
ly been installed at the grade cross
ing at the east end of town. This
alarm bell cost the company $50O.OO
to install here. Besides bell to warn
of approaching trains, there is large
electric sign which spells "Danger,
and which can be seen long distance
at night. 1t is one of the newest
models of electric crossing alarms and
should be of great aid in preventing
accidents at the crossing.
