GOLD, GREED, ROMANCE AND DEATH MAKE
MCLINTOCK CASE READ LIKE fiction TALE

In a Chicago court room sits a law
yer-interested in a criminal case as
he has never been interested before.
He is William Darling Shepherd, now
on trial, charged with having killed
his millionaire orphan" ward, VIM.
N. McClintock with typhoid germs.
In the evidence now being intro
duced, the state viii attempt to show
that a plot more than twenty years
old existed in the Shepherd home to
obtain the McClintOck fortune.
Shepherd and his wife, Julie G..
Shepherd, were co-guardians Of
BILLY" McClintock through the viii
of Mrs. McCiintock who died in 1909.
The Shepherds were living with
Mrs. McClintock at that time, Mrs.
Shepherd and Mrs. McClintOck having
been school day friends. McClintock,
Sr. was killed in an automobile acct
dent shortly after the birth of BILLY"
which brought the Shepherds into the
McClintock home.
Young McClintOck, who had just
passed his twenty-first birthday and
was engaged to- be married to Miss
Isabelle Pope, died in the Shepherd
McClintock home, December a, 1924.
A will, drawn by Shepherd and at
tested by Shepherds house servant
a few months after young McClin-
took had reached his majority, made
the Shepherds chief beneficiary. It
also provided for Isabelle Pope an an
nuity Of $4,000.
The fact that Miss Pope had waited
outside the sick with a license
to marry him, as young McClintock
died, attracted public attention to the
case.
Rumor followed m as to the
attitude of the Shepherds toward
their wards fiancee at that time, I'M
til the district attorney took notice
and an investigation was started.
The investigation developed evil
dence which brought Harry Olson a
municipal court chief justice, into
the case with charges that the plot
of the Shepherds to obtain the Nc
Clintock fortune also involved the
deaths of McClintock's mother and
DR.. Oscar Olson, the judges brother
who had been the McClintock's ply
sician.
In the midst of a %coroner's inquest,
which Judge Olson instigated, Shop
herd was indicted March 10, this year.

JARDINE SPEAKS OUT

Secretary Jardine has exploded the
ancient theory that every vacancy
which occurs automatically calls for
an appointment of someone else in
the federal service. The secretary
says, eff it becomes desirable to sub
nit a recommendation for an increase
in force in order to conduct new work
which has been duly authorized such
recommendation must show clearly
that the addition is absolutely neces-
sary and give the specific reasons
which make it so. 1t will not be pos
sible to give approval to recommend
tions flor new appointments, either
by additions to the force or to fill
vacancies, except where it is clearly
indicated that careful consideration
has been given TO the possibility of
rendering an additional appointment
unnecessary"

COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Restores
Its Natural Color and
Lustre At Once

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trouble
some. An easier way is to get the
ready-to-use preparation improved by
the addition of other ingredients a
large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores,
known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" thus avoiding a lot Of
muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
VIC all desire to retain our youthful ap-
pcarance and attractiveness. By dark
ening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and
SULPHUR Compound, no one can tell, be-
cause It does it SO naturally, so evenly,
You just dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning all gray hairs have
disappeared. After another application
or two your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you
appear years younger.

vealed mercury in sufficient amount

caused death, examiners lay.
The confession of C. c. Faimani
head of a science school in Chicago,
that he had supplied Shepherd with
typhoid germs, taught him how tt
keep them and administer them-and
that he was promised 100000, is the
states strongest card.
FaimaD was jointly indicted with
Shepherd but granted a separate trial,
Mrs. Shepherd was named in the
verdict by the ~coroners jury as being
guilty with her husband-but was
indicated when a grand jury refused
to indict her.
That is the "McClintock case" t.

the whole nation as the trial pro.

1925 CROP SEASON IN MONTANA GETS
FAVORABLE START, SAYS MAY REPORT
go PERCENT OF SPRING SEEDING COMPLETED MAY l:
MUCH WINTER WHEAT ACREAGE ABANDONED;
SPRING WORK WELL VANCE

Except for an unusually heavy |
abandonment of winter wheat acreage,
the 1926 crop season in Montana is
starting out very favorably according
to the May report issued by ]. G. Dia-
mond for the Montana cooperative
crop reporting service, which shows
go per cent of spring sowing and
planting completed under favorable
soil conditions by May 1, compared
with but 80 per cent a year ago, an
excellent condition Of hay and grass
crops, a good condition for the rye
crop but a poor condition and thin
stand Of winter wheat as a result Of
winter damage. The rush of farm
work is reflected in the ratio of sup
ply to demand which is 97.9 per cent
on May 1 this year compared with
1858 a year ago and has resulted
in a somewhat general shortage Of
farm help.
Abandonment of winter wheat acre
age as a result of exposure during
the extremely low temperatures last
December, alternate thawing and
freezing in January, soil blowing and
other damaging factors reached the
very high figure of 70 per cent ac-
cOrding to the report, and on the
basis Of a. May 1 condition of SO per
cent Of a normal for the 100000 acres
remaining for harvest, forecasts q
crop of 2,846OOO bushels, compared
with 10,893,OO0 bush IS last year and
is the lowest winter wheat prospect
for the state since 1909. However,
the report notes that winter wheat
last year composed less than 25 per
cent of the total wheat crop of the
state and that the abandoned acreage
this year ms being largely re-seeded
to spring wheat, an estimate of which
acreage will be made next month. The
rye crop on May / (including both
winter and spring sown) is forecast
by the report at 100000 bushels,
against 1850, 900 bushels in 1922, rye
condition on May 1 being 80 per cent
