FARMER SHOOTS WIFE.
On Saturday morning a shoot

On Saturday morning a shooting
affair occurred at the Heibert
ranch, IS miles north of Nashua
Mr.. Heibert, Canadian, filed upon
homestead early this spring upon
which he has cen residing, his wife
meantime living in Swift Current
Several weeks ago one of Heibert's
friends came down to look over the
country and as result filed upon
land in the vicinity of the Heibert
farm. Agreeing to bring Mrs. Hell
bert from Swift Current to Nashua,
the gentleman was given the use of
Heibert's car in which he drove to
Glasgow, going to Canada by aril.
He, IN company with his family and
Mrs. Heibert arrived in Glasgow on
Sunday and drove out to the Hell
bert ranch. They had been there
but an hour when the quarrel began
and the shooting took place. Hell
bert and his wife and the man who
the house at the time of the shoot
ing. Heibert produced 50 calibre
revolver, threatening to kill his wife
The other man interfered, only to
be warned to stand back or he
would shoot him also.
Walking toward his wife he
placed the gun on her side and
pulled the trigger. The witness
rushed from the house, placed his
wife and children in the car and
hurried to town. Sheriff Powell was
summoned and on his arrival in
Nashua organized posse and drove
to the scene of the crime.
Arriving within short distance
Heibert was seen in the yard. He
went into he house, however, and
when Powell entered he was hold
ing his wife in his arms. Both i'm
mediately started to explain that
the shooting was purely accidental.
No arrests were made although
both went to Glasgow, where the in
jured woman was taken to the hos
pital. The wound was not a dan
gerous one and she will recover
The bullet passed through the hip,
failing to strike vital organs. Hell
bert remained in Glasgow over
night, going back to his homestead
Monday afternoon. He remained
there long enough to obtain a few
articles which he placed in the car
and headed for Canada.
Although he pleaded innocent of
attempting murder there is but lit
tie douot that such was his inten-
ton. The trouble originated over
ten years ago and quarrels have oc-
Cured frequently ever since. On
several occasions he has made re-
marks that intimated his intention
to commit some rash act, but the
supposition is that after the first
shot his nerve failed as he failed to
complete murder.-Nashua indie

PRODUCTS
NOW ON THE MARKET

Montana grown products are be-
ginning to gain full prestage on the
market this week. Vegetables and
fruits from the Treasure state are
in popular demand and are proving
superior to the imported products,
some of which go through the rip
ening process while in transit.
Many of the vegetables are COM
ing from gardens local to Malta.
Some of the fruits and few gar
den products come from the Milk
River valley and these are equal in
side states.
Montana Celery Soon.
Michigan celery is in market at
~ cents for choice punches and 3
for rs for the average run. Next
week celery is expected from the
Bitter Root valley and number
OF Malta grocers will cease their
eastern orders and handle the Mon
tana product. Wax beans can be
secured for cents pound for the
Montana grown.
Sweet corn is being sold as low as
IS cents a dozen at one store, rang
ing from this price to SO cents.
None of the Montana product has
been on the market. Beets at five
cents bunch, cauliflower at 8
cents a pound, carrots at five cents
a bunch, lettuce at five cents a head,
peas at five cents pound, cabba ge

Malta.
Montana potatoes, new crop, are
selling at two cents pound. Sweet
potatoes are 10 cents a pound. Pep
pers 20 cents, according to quality
and cucumbers two for a quarter
for extra choice.
Fruits ON Market.
Apples, currents and cherries are
the only Montana fruits that are
on the market. The Bitter Root
apples, for pies, are four pounds for
a quarter.
Watermellons are selling at five
cents a pound, but the wholesale
price is climbing and the grocers
will have to sell at a loss to main
tain the old rate. Cantelopes aver
age 10 cents for large size and
three for quarter for tho medium.
Imported fruits are ranging
about the same in price, the present
tendency being toward the home
two for contemporaries from
$l.lO to $1.5O per box, or 25 to IS
cents a basket. Plums are 35 to As
cents per basket and pears sell at

GREAT CROPS IN SIGHT.

Record breaking crops all along
the line of the Great Northern will
be garnered this year, is the word
the railroad commissioners bring
back from the north; record-break-
ing crops and brisk movement in
lands is the experience of Fergus
county this season according to Eric
Olson, manager of the N-bar ranch,
!. the old Cruise property, the Valley
Farms company in the valley, the
Big Blackfoot Cattle company, the
Sentinel Rock company and few
other big properties.
The railway commissioners Hall,
Morley and Mccormick, held hear
ings at Nashua, Scobey, Glasgow,
looking forward to the biggest crop
in their tributary country in their
history. Not only do the yields
promise to be immense, but there
has been a big inrecase in acreage.
At Tunis, for instance, one farmer
had 100 acres in grain last year.
This year he has 245 acres. Anoth-
er had 10 acres last season. This
has been increased to go acres this
year Eleven cars of grain were
SHlppeu last Idll ITOm runs. his
fall not less than So will go out.
Conditions prevailing at Tunis are
typical, say the commissioners, of
the entire northern country.
In the northern half of Sheridan
Valley and Phillips counties, IS
miles from the railroad, every acre
of tillable public land has been filed
upon and the country is so thick1y
settled and we'll farmed that it rc.
sembles an old eastern community.
Immense crops will be harvested
this year in that region, say the
commissioners.
Mr.. Olson returned last evening
from months stay in Fergus
county. Bigger crops from big
ger acreage will be harvested this
year than before. He also says
that Fergus county, while not en-
joying land boom, is doing an ex-
ceedingly brisk land business. Set
tiers and buyers are coming in
steadily and sales are being made
every day.-Helena Record.

THE RED TRAIL.

Two representatives OF the Nat
ional Automobile Trail Blazing AS
ISOLATION were in Malta Saturday.
They blazed "red trail" in and out
of our city, and hereafter any auto
party going to or from Glacier Nat
ional Park will pass through Malta.
At every fork of the road and at
every crossing on the trail red
and white letter symbol will be
found. The letter 81" in red with a
white background means turn to
the left "R" similarly treated
means turn to the right" while
three bands or bars-white, red,
white-means, Ego straight ahead"
A big white circle with a red center
age, Auto Supplies"
Two of these blazed trails across
the continent from Atlaneic coast
converge or come together at Mon
dak, Mont, and from there west
through Malta to Glacier Park, all
or nearly all, autoes coming over
both trails east of here will pass
through our little city, as the north
ern trail from here Glacier Park
is far the best road in existence.
The southern trail of these two
reaches Glendive where it forks or
divides, one trail leading west
through southern Montana to yell
lowstone Park and the other down
the Yellowstone Valley to Mondak
where it joins the northern trail to
Glacier Park.
The Red Trail enters Malta by
way of the road north of the rail-
road track coming west from Saco
and Glasgow

Shortly after this another peewee
planet was discovered and named. The
work kept on until the astronomer who
hadn't discovered an Asteroid was as
lonesome as a F'renchman who doesn't
belong TO the legion Of honor Over
500 Asteroids have now been discovered
and each year about 80 more are roped
and branded Getting names for the
new arrivals is as difficult as choosing
names for Pullman cars and they viii
soon have to be tagged and numbered

Formerly the astronomer chased the
shy and elusive Asteroid around the
heavens with a telescope until he cor
nered it, but now Photographic plates
are exposed in the observatories and
the new laid Asteroids register them
selves on them like guests on hotel
register Nothing is calculated to in

astronomy than the task Of sorting out
pin points OF light on a photograph
