PAVING PROJECT
ON NO. Wilson

In the near future property own
ers on North Wilson avenue, be-
tween Main and Lamme streets, will
be asked to sign a petition for paw
ing. 1t is claimed that a majority of
the property holders will favor the
Improvement.
The paving plans contemplate the
widening of the thoroughfare by five
feet, through the moving back for
that distance of the sidewalk on the
west. The paving, it is expected, will
be of bithulithic. The improvement,
those sponsoring the petition say, is
one that has long been needed and
which will add much to the appear
ance and utility of that section of the
business district.
Later it is hoped to induce the pro-
perty owners concerned to consent to
the paving Of North Wilson from
Lamme to Mendenhall, and of Mend
enhall east and west for several
blocks to provide thoroughfare that
will parallel Main and relieve traffic
congestion. Many expressions favor
able to this plan have been heard, but
no definite steps toward its execution
Will be taken at this time.

TO MARK GRAVES
OF REDS Victims
William Rea Looking Up History
of Massacre on Shields
River in 1869

Efforts to ascertain the details,
hitherto unpublished, of an Indian
fight that occurred in the Shields
river valley, near Grannis, in 1869
and in which five men were killed, are
being made by William Rea of this
city. Mr.. Rea reports that the grav-
es of these victims are unmarked,
and believes that movement should
be started to raise funds for that
purpose.
Phil Dodson, Sr., of Bozeman, 80
years of age, has a vivid recollection
of the event, and as, soon as the roads
improve will accompany Mr.. Rea to
the spot and identify the graves. The
five men killed were employed as COW
hands by the Meadow brothers of
Bozeman and were attacked while
with their herds in the Shields valley
After the massacre Sheriff John Guy
of this county, with All Downing and
posse, proceeded to the scene and
buried the bodies.
Some of the graves are in a field
on the BOnnell ranch, and others neal
the river bridge above Grannis. Mr.
Rea has ascertained that the graves
are unmarked, and will soon institute
a movement to raise the necessary
money to erect suitable monuments
When the details of the fight have
been obtained, a complete story of the
affair will be published.
Mr.. Rea has lived in this section
since 1864. In the early eighties ht
assisted in compiling a history 0.

The humber of commercial failures
in Montana decreased slightly during
May 1927, as compared with May 1926,
according to H. z. Rosenbush, state
manager Of Bradstreets, reporting to
the state publicity division. The
number Of failures in 1927 are five
and in 1926 nine. The liabilities were
larger this year, being S388, 900 as
compared to S30,800 vast year, but
this is due to the fact that the, fall

only $50 800 for TIE failures Of 1895.
