STARTS AUGUST Is
STOCK In BEST SHAPE FOR A
NUMBER OF YEARS, SAYS
e. A. PHILLIPS
Secretary of State Livestock Commits
sion States That Some Shipments
Are Already Being Made; Fat
Stock Being Turned Off the Best
Ranges the State Has Seen.

Montana livestock Is already
starting to eastern markets and are
In better condition than it has been
in years, according to E. A. Phillips,
secretary of the Montana state live
stock commission. Phillips has re-
turned from trip through the CEN
trail part of the state and reports the
range is in excellent condition in all
places and a splendid hay crop.
"CattIe will go, to market In tip
top shape, and all shipments will be
a great improvement over the con-
dition of cattle which went sent out
of the state in the last few years."
Phillips says.
Phillips says that many cattlemen
plan on starting big shipments to the
market shortly, which is much earlier
in the season than has ever been the
case before in the history of the state.
"They are going to send good stuff
and the average will be better than
any shipped in years from Montana

steader living near Hathaway, Rose
bud county, is condemned to die for
the murder of a neighbor, Harry
Theade. The jury that heard the
evidence at his trial agreed upon a
verdict of first degree murder after
being out only 35 minutes, and left
punishment to the court.
The trial of Lane was concluded
the night of July %. At 1870 p. m.
next day, Friday, Lane was brought
before Judge George P. Jones of the
Fifteenth judicial district of Montana
for sentence. Lane, in reply to a
question by the court, stated that
there was no reason why sentence
should not be pronounced. The court
then read the statute from the Mon
tana laws providing the penalty for
murder in the first degree, and
stated that he could find no reason
why the prisoner should not pay the
full penalty. He thereupon pro-
nounced the death sentence.
Lane heard his doom pronounced
without apparent emotion and thank
ed the court before being led away
to his cell. When he left the court

ment for murderer does not come
with the last minutes that end with
the springing of the trap and the dull
thud of his body as it is jerked at
the ropes end, terrible as that ordeal
is for the ordinary man. 1t is the
weeks of waiting - the days and
nights of brooding and of facing the
fact that every tick of the clock,
every sunrise and sunset bring the
awful day nearer. Also, over and
over again in his mind a murderer
lives again the crime that he has
committed.
Lane is sentenced to die as the re-
suit of a quarrel between himself
and the man he killed, Harry Theade.
On April 26th, last, the two men were
together in Lanes cabin, and appar-
emily were to eat dinner there toge-
Their. 1t is stated that Lane asked
Theade to go down in hole beneath
his cabin, that did duty as a cellar,
to get some potatoes. Theade was
no sooner at the bottom of the excav-
alton than Lane seized his rifle and
shot the defenseless man three times
from above and behind.
Asked, later, why he shot the third
time, Lane replied: HE was making
such a noise that 1 thought I would
stop his yelling"
Four days later Theade was missed
and search of Lanes cabin by
