RANCHER LOSES
ARM in QUARREL
Receives Full Charge From IL
Gauge Shot Gun.
DIFFERENCE OVER ROAD
Trouble Between Two Ranchers Over
Location of Road Leads to Use
Of Firearms

Perry Jones a rancher living Is
miles south of the Missouri below Wolf
Point was brought to the hospital on
Wednesday forenoon suffering from
shot gun wound in the right arm,
received in a quarrel with a man by
the name of Bore who lives in the
same vicinity. The wound was of
such nature as to cause considerable
worry as to the possibilities of saving
the life of Jones, but after two days
ot hard work by the physician in
charge. DR.. NJ. d. Hoyt, the danger
was overcome. Friday morning the
arm was amputated at the shoulder
and the patient is now resting as we'll
as can be expected
1t is reported that Jones and Gore
were having trouble over a road in
'1e vicinity of their respective ranch
es and the trouble led to hot words
0e'rC exchanged between them. On
Wednesday they came together again
one man carrying an automatic shot
gun and the other a Colts six shooter
In the heat of an argument which fol-
lowed shots were exchanged resulting
in Jones receiving the full charge from
the shot gun in his right arm above
the elbow. Dr. Huber of Wolf Point
dressed the wound and then brought
the man to Glasgow where he was
placed in the Deaconess Hospital. No
report as to the other man in the
case being injured has been received.

SEVEN lNs%.RED
IN AUTO %ME.CK
Occupants Badly Bruised BIZ
Bones Broken. u
CAUSED BY FAST DRIVING
Attempting to Pass Car Ahead at High
Speed Automobiles Come Together.
Wheels Torn Off.

Seven persons were severely injur-
ed in an automobile accident on the
cemetery hill road, about seven o'clock
Saturday evening. The hill road is
very steep and narrow at the point
where the mishap occurred and the
fact that no one was killed remains
mystery, as two cars crashed to-
gether, tearing the rear wheel off each
and turning the cars completely over.
Mrs. J. l. Lebert, Madge, Frank and
Byron Lebert, Mrs. Verne Hovey and
Ethel Hovey occupied one car and T.
p. White, his wife and little girl were
in the other. From eye witnesses
of the accident it is reported that the
Lebert car attempted to pass the
White car and in doing so the cars
were thrown together with great force
just at the top of a short raise in the
road. In an instant both were thrown
over and the occupants plunged onto
the ground, receiving many bruises
but no bones being broken. All were
taken to the Deaconess hospital where
their wounds were dressed and the
parties then taken to their homes.
Mr.. White remained at the hospital
for internal injuries he received and
for time it was feared there might
be serious results. He was finally
removed to his home near Nashua
for several days receiving treatment
where he is resting easy and it is
expected he will fully recover within
a short time.
The Fair Association made every
precaution to avoid accidents of this
nature during the fair, placing signs
directing drivers how to travel, and
the police and sheriff's departments
lent valuable aid, so that nothing oc-
Cured during the three days Of the
fair. 1t is regrettabe that so serious
an accident should happen just as the
last day closed.

COUNTY'S GREATEST
FAIR REAL SUCCESS
Wonderful Showing of Blooded Live Stock and Agrcu-
tural Products Creates Interesting Competition
RACE PROGRAM DRAWS FAST HORSES
Largest Number of High Running Horses Ever at Fair
Enter All Races. Harness Races Proved Popular
Addition to Events.

Valley County's Fifth Annual Ag-
ricultural Fair closed Saturday after
three days of fast races, free shows
and the best exhibit of live stock ever
shown. The grain and vegetable dis
play was not as large as that of pre-
vious years owning to the fact that
many farmers had not as yet threshed
their grains and the vegetables were
not as yet ready for showing. The
attendance was greater this year than
ever before and all who saw the fair
were profuse in their praise for its
merits. Altogether the fair this
year was we'll worth the time, labor,
and money expended and proved a
great event.
Among the live stock exhibits were
some of the finest and best bred dairy
stock to be found in the state, shown
IN herds by c. NJ. Peterson of Nashua,
W. W. Mabee, John Hneman and
others, who brought in their stock at
great expense TO themselves. This
department showed in most forceful
manner the great development in the
quality of farm stock in Valley Coun-
ty during the past five years since the
first fair was held. Other live stock
exhibits We're made by H. l.. Sprague
who, at the special request of the Fair
Board brought in his Belgian stallion
as we'll as some very high grade cat
tie and hogs; Chas Ashford of Hins-
dale also exhibited his three year ola
Belgian stallion, which during the past
three months has won nine gold med
ais as well as ten blue ribbons in var
ious county and state exhibits. He
showed a beautiful team of mares of
the same breed as we'll as pure bred
hogs.
L. j. Foust as usual was in the
winning class with his fine herd of
pure bred Duroc Jersey hogs, and
showed a young Red Polled bull which
when he reaches his growth will be
a winner anywhere In the grain de-
partment Mr.. Foust also displayed
fine assortment of threshed grains
winning on them some good premiums.
Col. E. F. Jacobs brought an excel
lent exhibit of full blooded hogs and
was awarded premiums on them. His
hogs last year also came out on top
so that the showing he made this year
proves the quality Of his herd is con-
stantly advancing. Many others were
showing their livestock, not only in
the hogs and cattle and horse depart
ments but the poultry division was
we'll filled. This is department that
has only just begun to receive the at
tention due it from the farmers, al
though the fair association has each
year offered valuable premiums for
displays. The poultry exhibited this
year show that there is fast develop
ing in this county class of high grade
stock that will eventually be worth
considering William Griffith again
showed his fine pure bred Percheron

LEGS OFF IN BINDER

A young fellow working for Henry
Quasi, southeast of here, had one leg
cut off and the other badly cut up
when the binder ran over him one day
last week. The team started to run
away and the unfortunate young man,
in an endeavor to stop them, was
thrown in front of the sickle with the
above stated result. He was imme-
diately taken to Glasgow to the hos
pital and according to last reports
has very good chance to recover

stallion and as usual was declared a
winner although he did not intend to
enter the competition. Mr.. Griffith
is one Of the regular exhibitors at the
fair and always shows keen interest
in its development
Among the winners in the agricul-
tural department We're f. l.. Belzer,
c. NJ. Peterson, c. A. Collins, Robt.
Moir, NJ. Domke. Herman Sewing, Ole
Stensland, John Dietsman, Dick Rich
ardson, and many others who have
each year helped to make the fair a
success by their hard work in gather
ING and displaying their products.
Many new exhibitors were in evidence
this year showing the growing in
teresJ among the farmers being dis
played. With the coming wears it is
IN assured fact that the exhibit build
n;gs viii not be large enough to hold
all that will be brought to the fair.
JAS. Griffin. of Chinook, who judged
the agricultural products stated that
the grain shown here was the best
he has examined this fall and as he
rad just completed q trip over the EN-
tire state it is evident that the wheat
and other grains of Valley will stand
well at the state fair this year.
The woman's building as we'll as the
flower exhibit this year was most
interesting. All the various depart
ments were filled to greater extent
han ever before, especially is this SC
Of the culinary department where the
iced case made to hold these exhibits
was not large enough to accommodate
them. The ladies of the county dis
play a very marked interest in the
premium list and the competition was
keen for every prize. The butter ex-
hibit was greater than ever shown, the
bread and cookies were crowded for
room as was the cakes and pies. The
jelly and preserve departments made
very fine array of glasses and al
most everything than can be canned,
preserved or jelIied was to be found.
Among the exhibitors in this depart
ment were many girls under 16 years
of age who carried off some of the
besr prizes.
The school exhibit was something
to be proud Of and those who exam
med this department met with a sur
prise in the great variety Of work it
contained. Practically every school
in the county was represented and the
exhibit room proved too small to make
the showing as attractive as it might
be. Mrs. Frazer, Miss Johonnott,
Prof. Williams, Huber, Lawton, and
Gould, and many others interested in
school work labored hard for many
days prior to the opening of the fair
to arrange the exhibit. 1t contained
work from every grade from the first
grade to the high school, the manual
training department making very
fine showing.

SHOOTING
BY HALF BREED
JOHN NARTEL. MURDERS EN-
GINEER OVER THRILLING AR
GUMENT.

John Martel, half breed Indian,
who has been operating a threshing
rig in this locality, shot and instant
ly killed Grover Sperlng, his engineer.
at the John Scott farm, one mile north
of Froid at an early hour Tuesday
morning. Martel walked into town
shortly afterwards and gave himself
up to the local authorities and was
later taken to the county Jail at Plen-
tywood where he is awaiting a hear
ing.
The trouble between the two arose
over the possession of time book
which the engineer had in his pos
session, having kept the time for HIM
self and the rest of the crew. Sper-
ling wanted to quit and demanded
settlement with Martel who refused
to settle and made threats that he
would shoot unless the time book was
turned over. This, Spering refused
to do, and started to leave the cook
car. Martel then ran to hay rack
nearby where a 3O-3O rifle lay loaded,
picked up the weapon and called to
one of the crew who was in line with
Sperling to step aside that he was
going to shoot, and as soon as the
other fellow had stepped back, Martel
leveled the rifle at Sperling and pull
ed the trigger The bullet entered
Sperlng's right lung, and he dropped
dead on the spot, the bullet passing
completely through the body.
NJ. NJ. Johnson, the county coroner,
of Plentywood, Deputy Sheriff Bill
Ator, and Assistant County Attorney
c. R. Ellery, were at once notified of
the murder and came down and held
an inquest Tuesday night. The jury
rendered verdict that the deceased
came to his death from a bullet fired
from a rifle in the hands of one John
Martel, Sperling's body has been en-
balmed and his relatives in Richmond,
Virginia, have been notified by wire.
Parties who are acquainted with the
deceased, say that his parents are
we'll to do people. Up to this writ
ing nothing as to the disposition of
the remains, but it is thought that
particulars will be received today.
Martel, it is said, has always been
rather disagreeable character and
has caused considerable trouble on
former occasions. At the time of the
killing he did not appear to realize
the seriousness of his act, but later
on in the Jail at Plentywood the
thought of prison bars or possibly
the hang-man's moose, commenced to
prey upon his mind, and he showed
signs of nervousness. Sperling, as
fas as is known, was a peaceful fel-
low and only wanted pay for the labor
he had performed. We are told that
he carried a 100000 paid up life in
surance policy payable to his mother
and that he made the last payment
last Saturday at Medicine Lake.
Martels trial will probably come up
at this term of District Court in Plen-
tlwood. Feeling against him here
is bitter. His family resides near
Homestead. Sperlng is supposed to
be single man and was about thirty
years of age.-Froid Tribune.
