McCONE CONTEST
SET FOR FEB. Is

The date for the trial of the Con
klin-Horsford commissioner con
test case has been set for February
18th at Circle. Judge Ford who
was to have presided, it is under
stood, was disqualified by the Con
kiln side and Judge o. F. Goddard

CHINOOK MAN VICTIM
OF CONFIDENCE GAME?

Chinook, Feb. 4.-Friends of
Fred Harding are anxious to know
his whereabouts. For 90 years he
has worked as a sheepherder
around here and saved his money.
Some weeks ago he took a trip
to Long Beach, Calf, and while
there met two men who led him
to believe that If he would invest
about $4,000 in stocks he would
reap big returns.
He returned to Chinook, drew
out his money from several banks,
which is said to be between $12,-
900 and $4,000 and told a friend
he had to take the cash to Cali
fornia as this was the way he was
told to deliver it. Several talked
with him and tried to make him
see that these men were just con-
fidence men, and would get his
money, but he refused absolutely
to listen to advice. He carried
this money on his person in a
money belt and promised he would
wire on reaching Long Beach but
so far nothing had been heard
from him, although he left about
two weeks ago.
His acquaintances here fear foul
play and Sheriff G.. w Fleming
has had detectives working on this
case in California

TEXAS MURDERER
KILLS FRYE MGR.
RESENTS CRITlCISM-SH
BOSS AND SELF

Havre, Feb. 6.-Tom Ross, want
ed in Texas for killing a stock
inspector, could cut two more
notches in his gun but one of
those marks must stand for Ross
own death, by his own hand. The
other is for Ralph Hayward, ranch
manager, shot to death last Sat
urday.
The Texas cowpuncher, though
known as a hunted man, has been
working on cattle ranch on the
Blackfeet reservation in Montana
for some time. His flight from
Texas took him to Canada, where
he worked on a ranch until a
Chinese cook reused his temper.
He killed the man with a club,
Browning authorities say. After
that, he drifted down over the
border into Montana and went to
work on the Rimrock ranch of
the Frye Cattle company, under
the name of Charles Cannon.
Last Sunday, Hayward, on a
tour of inspection, took Ross to
task for the manner he was doing
his work. A quarrel ensued
Ross drew his gun and poured
six shots into Heyward's body,
killing him instantly.
Three cowpunchers, Jack Davis,
Bill Martin and a man named
Hoffman, were made prisoners in
the ranch house but, after about
an hour, Martin slipped out and
started for Browning in an auto
mobile. Cannon went to his own
room, lay down on his bed and, as
Hoffman peered through the door,
shot himself through the eye.
Mrs. Ross has wired from
Texas asking that the body Of her
husband be sent there for burial.
They have one daughter. Hey
ward also had a wife, son and
daughter, in Seattle, headquarters
for the cattle company.

NO EXTENSION
LAND PAYMENTS
COMMISSIONER SPRY NOT FOR
GIVING OMESTEADERS
MORE TIME

| A. T. Listug of the First Nation
al Bank recently received a letter
from William Spry, commissioner
of the General land Office at Wash
| ington, D. c.. in which he states
that he is not in favor of granting
further extension of time for
homesteaders to make final pay
ment on their lands on the Fort
Peck reservation. The letter fol-
lows:
My Dear Sir:
have your letter of December
II, 1928, urging that this Office aid
in securing legislation to grant
additional time for payment to
those entrymen on the former
Fort Peck reservation who were
unable to make the payments due
on November 1, 1928, under the
act of June Is, 1926 (44 Stat.
746).
The act of March 4, 1926 (43
Stat. 1861 provided for an ex-
tension of time for payment to
November 1, 1925 and November
1, 1926, on all payments both of
principal and interest due on the
date of the passage of the act.
The act of June Is, 1926 GA Stat
746) authorized further extensions
of time for two years, on each of
the payments required by the act
Of March 4, 1925. The time for
payment expired on all entries
affected by the act of March 4,
1925, on November 1, 1928. Some
of these entries were made as
early as the year 1914, and in
many cases no payments except
the one required at the time of
the allowance of the entry have
been made. Those entrymen on
whose entries all the payments
were not yet due, on the date of
the passage Of said act of March
a, 1925, may obtain extensions of
time for payment under the act
of March 2, 1917 (39 Stat. 994).
