Always Looking Back


The solemn service at the church
was over. Everyone was kind to him
that day. He gazed in wide eyed won
derment at his father and so many
others weeping, he marvelled at the
flowers and felt that strangeness that
comes to one in the midst Of passing
events which he cannot understand
and he caught some of the sadness
that was reflected to him from the
faces of those about him.
His mother lay before him in a
beautiful, flower bedecked casket-
eyes closed, hands asleep.
He had seen her thus sleeping at home
the day before In his childish inno-
cence he had wondered then why she
was in the large front room instead of
her own chamber and he wondered too
why she had failed to dress and care
for him that day as she had done al
most every day as long as he could re-
member.
He was only three and as he gazed
at her in bewilderment he remember
ed the last time he saw her awake
was when she started away to the
hospital where they told him she
would get we1l. He recalled how after
she kissed him she paused at the door
and looked back at him with a nod
and smile.
Finally the long procession left tbs
church. He liked that long ride in a
closed auto with his grand parents and
his father, but no one smiled, no one
played with him. But where was she?
He was always looking back for her
Surely she was coming-somewhere
And then at the cemetery it seemed
to him that everyone was weeping
Only his father seemed strong anc
brave as with stern sad face he helC
him in his arms. He saw the casket
lowered, saw a tall man with book il
hand stand at the head Of the grave
heard the clods fall, saw the Grove
turn to go. Someone took him by thu
hand to lead him away but he pausec
and looked back Somehow it seemed
to him that something was missing
someone was missing from his life AM
as he was taken home he kept looking
Ali lonely little orphan boy, yo1
will be always looking back in vain
Through the years Of life there i

A BRIDCER RANCHER
KILLS A FROMBERG
GIRL WITH SHOTGUN

A coroner's inquest was held at
Bridger Monday night to determine
the cause of the death of Emma Kur-
exile, an Is year old girl of Fromberg,
anad it was found that the girl came
to her death from gunshot wounds in
the neck and face fired by shotgun
in the hands of D. A. Halliwell, a
farmer residing about ten miles south
west of Bridger on Sand Greek.
According to the story of Mr.. Halli-
well, who is about forty years of age
and is hihgly respected by his neigh
bors, Emma Kurckle arrived at his
farm about five o'clock Thursday af-
ternoon armed with an automatic
pistol while he was repairing machin-
cry and threatened to shoot him. The
girl left Fromberg Thursday after
noon to demand wages from Halliwell
which were due her mother who work
ed for Halliwell sometime last year but
who has been residing in Gallatin
county OF late with a young son. When
the girl approached Halliwell en- the
farm Anthony Sancomb, an aged man,
was working with him. HalliweI sent
the man into the house while he tried
to dissuade the Kurckle girl from fir
ing the gun He proposed that they
go to the house and talk over the mat
ter Of the debt which the Kurel1le girl
alleged was due and which HalliwelI
denied owing Arriving at the house,
he said, he went inside and got hold
OF sinele-barrelled shotgun The girl
remained outside brandishing her
weapon and fired at him once, to prove
to him, as She said, that Tie gun was
loaded and that she could use ii. Then
It was, HaIliwell declares, that he fred
at her intending to hit her hand and
force her to drop the gun but that his
shot struck her in the neck Thinking
ne had only wounded the girl he placed
her IN an automobile and drove to
Bridger to have a doctor examine her
wounds. Dr. 0Leinik informed him
chat the girl was dead had been dead
for some time and told him to take
her 10 an undertaking establishment.
After doing this Halliwell telephoned
70 Sheriff John Albert Mr. Albert
and his deputy encountered Halliwell
on the road on his way to Red Lodge
70 give himself up.
Persons who viewed the girls body
at Bridger stated that it looked as
though the shot that killed the girl
had been fred at close range, a dis
lance perhaps Of not more than ten or
fifteen feet.
The girls mother was Immediately
notified Of her daughters death and
