SACO TAILOR A SUICIDE

Hf\O AHAA<ON ~ COANADO
Of age committed suicide in a log
Of age, committed suicide in a log
cabin in the east end of town some
time Saturday morning. He came to
Saco about two weeks ago and started
a small tailoring shop On Saturday
evening "Shorty" Baker was sent to
his shop to see what had become of
him as he had not been seen all day.
"Shorty" went to the cabin about
o'clock and found the body hanging in
a small room or closet off the main
room of the building. He Immediately
spread the news around town and
several officials were soon on the
ground. Coroner Tucker arrived Sun
day morning and took the body to
Malta for burial.
1t is presumed that the act was due
to despondency and i'll health. Several
weeks ago his wife left him and took
the earnings of good many years
with her. This was probably the main
cause of the suicide.-1ndependent.

BIG INCREASE IN THIS
YEARS VALUATIONS
Assessed Valuation Of County Will be
Boosted $1,000. 100000.

Assessed Valuation Of County Will be
Boosted $1,000, 100000.
The assessed valuation of Valley
county will be increased over S1,00O,-
10000 this year, according to Assessor
B. H. Cottrell who bases his estimate
on that part of the 1916 assessment
which is already completed. The
field work of the deputies will be
completed this month, and two thirds
of this years assessment is already on
the books.
There is big increase in almost
everything this year.. Four hundred
new homesteads have added over 100,-
900 assessable acres and the increase
in the number of horses, cattle and
other livestock has been remarkable.
The rapidity with which the country
is settling up and the improvements
the farmers are making throughout
the county will cause an even great
er raise next year, and it is Mr.. Cot
trell's prediction that in two years the
assessed valuation of the county will
total $4,000, 100000.

While Crossing Milk River

The entire town of Malta was Deep
ly stirred by news Of the affair and
practically every automobile in the
city left for the scene of the acci-
dent, loaded with men and carrying

for the corpse of the unfortunate
young man. Dynamite was obtain
ed at Saco and efforts will be made

men in boats have been dragging the
river with graphing hooks. Practic-
ally every business man in Malta has
been at the scene of the tragedy and
everything possible is being done tc
recover the body from its watery

Recent reports from Malta seem
to confirm the reports received here
Wednesday that Ike Murphy, one Of
the most popular young men of
Phillips county, had lost his life
in the Milk River Ike Murphy was
well known locally, and was liked by
everyone who knew him.
Particulars of the tragedy are that
Murphy stopped at the ranch home of
Carl Blanchard Monday night, leav-
ing there about Z o'clock Tuesday
morning, and told of his intention to
cross the river at Cree crossing on
the John Merchant place. Mr.. Blanch-
ard told him he thought that the river
was up, but Murphy replied that he
had crossed there before and could do
it again.
The last seen of the young man
was at the Blanchard place, as his
horse was found on the other side OF
the river several hours later. The
water where the attempted crossing
was made was about 25 feet deer
and as young Murphy could not swim
it is thought that he slipped from the
horse while fording the river and per-
ished in the stream.
The horse made its way to the ]
D. Wilkes ranch and one of the mer
from there rode it into Malta ant
notified the authorities.

Beginning Thursday, June first,
new schedule Of rates for electric
lighting. power and heating was put
into effect by the City. The new

a success, that the plant can still be
operated at a profit, and yet affect
a big saving to the consumers by low
ering the rates.
The big oil engine has been thor
oughly tested out and the low cost
of operation is responsible for the cut
in the rates. The scale for lights
now ranges from IA cents down to 8

to 3. Under the new rate electricity

will be in Glasgow This Month to
Buy Stock.
Regular army officers of the Italian
Government will be in Glasgow on
June 14th, 18th and 18th to purchase
horses to be used in the great war
now raging across the Atlantic.
:. Mr.. W. M. Love of Miles City, who
has been in the city this week max
ing arrangements for their coming
tates that they hope to be able to
ret about 1000 horses here on those
dates and urges all ranchers to have
their horses here for event.
The horses which will be purchased
must conform to certain specifications.
They must be Is hands high, 5 to
0 years old and sound. barring light
bemishes, such as light wire cuts
.nl qthsd minor defects. The hors-
es desired are the light boned cavalry
type, and the blocky type for gunners
and light artillery. The horses must
be halter broke, but that is all that
S required.
The Italian inspectors are now at
Miles City and will be here on the
18th of June.
Over $4,000 head of horses have
been shipped out of Miles City to
points in the war zone, according to
Mr.. Love. He stated that the Eng
fish and French governments were
not buying nearly as many horses as
they were last year, due to the fact
that the fighting is now confined more
to the trenches, rather than open cav
airy engagements. The Italian gov
ernment is still buying thousands OF
horses in this country however, to use
in their campaigns against the Aus
trians.

The new quarters are more commo-
dious and everything is arranged to
facilitate the work in the Office. There
is more floor space than in the other
building and the arrangement is such
that every part of the Office is utiliz-
ed to the best advantage.
Both Register T. R. Jones and Re-
ceiver E. c. Hargadine have large pri-
vate Office rooms, and a separate room
has also been provided for the hear
ing Of contest cases. A large fire.
proof vault for the storing of the
records is another feature Of the new
Office, and another room has been par
titioned off for keeping the supplies.
A long four foot counter provides
ample room for both patrons of the
Office and clerks to work on the plat
books and other records without in
reference. Other equipment makes
the office one of the finest in the state
for handling the business.
That Northern Montana is the mec-
ca of the homesteader and landseeker
is evidenced by the number of home
stead entries made at the local land
Office during the month of May. 881
applications for land were received
and the receipts for the month reach
ed the enormous total of $81 ,474.44
The receipts for the month of April

Many of the filings during the
months of April and May have, beer
on the Fort Peck Reservation. 1r
April 1863 filings were made on the
reservation and 355 persons selected
land on that tract in May. The rap
idity with which this land is going

pating in these excursions.
The visit of the Minneapolitans pre-
sents an opportunity to every COM

by the material evidences of growth
but by the numbers and enthusiasm
of the people who join in the greet
ing given them. The excursion will
be accompanied by Rossiter's First
Regiment Band, one of the famous
military musical organizations Of the
country. Several different souvenirs
will be distributed among the child
rem and there will be other -ouv, ii.
for some of the leaders. Every resi-
dent Of the city and as many farmers
as can come in, are both invited and
urged to participate in welcoming the
visitors, since it is important that this
community make a lasting impression
upon them.
