RECOVER BODY THURSDAY
In Attempting to Recover Body of
Ike Murphy Boat Capsizes and
Saco Young Man is Drowned

Following the sad story of the
drowning of l. M. Murphy at Malta a
short time ago comes a story just
as sad from Saco. 1t will be re-
membered that all attempts to locate
the body of Murphy were unavailing
and the search had practically been
abandoned. Saturday afternoon men
working near the Milk River at Saco
noticed body lodged in the net
which had been stretched across the
river at that point.
Forrest Crutchfield and Jennings
Webb got into boat and went out
into the river after the body. In
trying to get the body into the boat,
however, the boat capsized precipitat-
ing both Crutchfield and Webb into
the river. Both were good SWIM
mers and it was thought by all that
they would make shore easily. Webb
seemed to be making good headway
when he apparently gave out and
sank. All attempts to locate the
cody at the time failed but it was
recovered last night about half mile
below where it disappeared.
This second drowning casts gloom
over the entire county. Jennings
Webb was twenty-one years old and
was a son of Dennis Webb, a farmer
who resides north of Saco. The fun
eral will be held tomarrow. Inter-
ment in the Saco cemetery.

The Glasgow ball team jodrneyed
to Opheim Tuesday morning for the

they had lined up "some ball team

FARMERS HOLD
GOOD MEETING
Large Attendance at Institute Held
Here Saturday.

The Farmers Institute held at the
Court House last Saturday proved
bigger success han ever before, and
demonstrated the growing interest

in this work. DR.. w. J. Hartman,
veterinary at the Montana State Col

relative to the care of livestock on
the farm. He outlined methods to
pursue in curing stock of various all
ments, illustrating with pictures of
various remedies used and how to ap-
ply them. Many interesting ques-
tions were asked by famrers and a
good discussion of a general nature
was brought out.
Jas. Griffin of Chinook discussed
alfalfa, it's feeding qualities and how
to properly grow it for seed. He has
made wonderful success on his own
farm growing seed and his discussion
of planting, cultivating and harvest
ing the crop was followed with great
interest. The advocation by him of
planting alfalfa in rows brought out
a general discussion of the results OBJ
tanned, every one present joining in
making the meeting lively and bring
ing out many valuable points bene-
fetal to all. Corn came in for a
share of the discussion and it was
found that a greater acreage is in
corn here this year than ever before
Mr.. Griffin brought out the great
benefits to the farmers of having a
County Agriculturist employed anc
it was learned that the Valley Coun-
ty Commissioners are in favor of EN-.
ploying such man as soon as the
county is financially able to do so.
Both speakers complimented the
farmers in attendance for their lively
