EMPLOYMENT BUREAU

The Free Employment bureau of
the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce
and Agriculture appeals to all the
towns of Valley county to advise them
at all times when help is needed in
their locality or when a surplus ex-
lists. If every town in the county will
cooperate in advising them of the
help situation in their district, it is
the belief of Secretary Jones that the
Valley county farmers will be sup
piled with sufficient help during har-
vest time. Indications for a shortage
now prevail and every district is
urged to appoint a man in its terri
tory to take care of the labor prob
lem. Secretary Jones advises that he

now has permanent meeting place

SETTLE DISPUTE 9.
BY.SH00TING:
George K0z0car, R0anwood
Homesteader, Killed BY
Joseph Poppe.
ARGUED PRICE OF NIGHTS LODGING
Body Left Lying Where 1t Fell.
Inquest Was Held Wednesday.
Poppe In Custody Here.

AS the result of a dispute over the
price of nights lodging, George
Kozocar, a homesteader in the Roam
wood country, northwest of Opheim, is
dead, and Joseph Pappe, of Thoeny, is
in the county Jail charged with mur-
der.
kozogar was shot in the head and
death must have been instantaneous.
Word of the shooting reached Deputy
Sheriff Beebe at Opheim, who noti-
fled the local officials.
County Attorney Borton, Coroner
c. E. Peterson and Court Reporter
C. F. Kenney left Tuesday for the
scene of the tragedy, and held the
inquest Wednesday morning.
According to the testimony of the
witnesses, Poppe and another man,
and a man and his wife, whose names
could not be learned, had stopped at
Kozocar's place overnight. In the
morning the man and his wife left
before the trouble between Kozocar
and Poppe started.
Poppe and the man with him
hitched up their their teams, and were
ready to leave when Kozocar demand
ed his money for the nights lodging.
An argument followed with the result
that Poppe went into Kozocar's shack,
procured a rifle and then shot him.
The body had evidently been left
lying where it fell, and Poppe and his
pal drove off.
While the testimony is not clear on
many points, as the dispositions of all
the witnesses could not be secured, it
seems that Lou Thompson notified
Deputy Sheriff Beebe of the affair.
He arrested Poppe and brought him
to Glasgow.
The principals in the affair are
Roumanians, and besides the difficult
ty of finding the witnesses the local
officers had to contend with their in
ability to speak the English Ian
guage.
The inquest will be continued on
Monday at Opheim.

MANY NEW SETTLERS.

Minnesota and the two Dakotas
show the greatest influx of settlers
into Montana during April, accord
inh to the reports of tests made of
livestock by the state livestock SAN
itary board. The Pacific coast states
notably Washington and Oregon,
show increased immigration to this
state.
April, however, fel loft a few tests
over what was shown in March.
There were 1,24O made in April, as
against 1878 in March. So far this
month there is a more marked de-
crease, so that it is probable that
the rush of settlers this spring is
almost over. It will be resumed, how
ever, after harvest.
On tests of horses, cattle and
swine, North Dakota lead with 2,462
horses, 766 cattle and rs swine. Min
nesota was next with 1901 horses,
1918 cattle and 25 swine. South Da-
kota scored 1856 horses, 316 cattle
and 25 swine.
From the coast Washington led
with 1853 horses and 124 cattle, while
Oregon had 221 horses, 2S9 cattle and
27 swine.
Wyoming sent in 1884 cattle, but
only horses.
Illinois, Nebraska, California, Utah
and Wisconsin contributed heavily,
and there were shipments from
Arkansas, Oklahoma. Missouri and
Tennessee and Texas. Canada also
sent in some livestock.

LABOR SUPPLY IN GLASGOW

LABOR SUPPLY IN GLASGOW
The free employment bureau of the
Glasgow Chamber of Commerce and
agriculture has placed about $50 men
on jobs this spring. L. E. Jones, the
secretary, claims that up to date there
has been plenty of work for those
wanting it but at present there are
more men than jobs. If there is any
farm or city help needed anywhere in
the county, inform Secretary Jones
and he will be glad to supply this
help.

county at the present time.
State Treasurer H. L. Hart was
next called upon and spoke on condi-
tions as he found them in the state.
Mayor Matt Murray was the next
victim of the toastmaster's wit, but
he had a ready "come- back" and the
honors were even. Mr.. Murray also
spoke of the rapid strides this city
and the county were making and espe-
cially in the banking field.
Mr.. Brewer of Spokane told of
experiences in his district and
invited the Montana bankers to at
tend the Washington convention at
Spokane in June.

Fifteen thousand dollars must be
raised before loan can be secured
for the new addition. There are
many good people in Valley county
who have not as yet been called upon
to subscribe, but who would gladly
help if some representative of the
hospital could see them. Two thou

could be raised in a week, if the
friends of this institution would do
a little missionary work. While these
words are being written for the press

hospital, but must be refused, for lack
OF room. Rev. John Chirgwin, who
has had charge of the campaign, left
for his home at Helena on Monday
