g. N. Officials
Hunt Deer Here

Last week three distinguished
guests, all officials of the Great
Northern, were here to partake of
unusually fine deer hunting with
local residents. Frank r. Newman.
vice president and director of traf-
fic from St. Paul, B. S. Merritt
western traffic manager of Seattle,
and H. G. Amos, travelling freight
agent from Wenatchee were guests
of Walter Neils
During the first part of the week
Mr.. Merritt's private car was side
tracked at Dunn creek and the gen
tlemen hunted in that vicinity. Lat
ter in the week they came to Lib
by and hunted at the head of Pipe
creek on Flatiron mountain. All
were successful in bagging their
game
Beside Mr.. Neils, E. M. Boyes, X.
A. Klehm, M. E. Tester and E. M.
Davidson accompanied the visitors
on the hunt. John Boothman was
packer for the group.
The visitors stated they enjoyed
their stay in this vicinity very much
and have intentions of returning
next year to get their buck"
Aside from the hunting, they en-
joyed seeing the work on selective
logging being done by the J. Neils
Lumber company at Dunn creek.
According to the officials, it is real
ly a beautiful piece of work for
trees that are considered not yet
ready for cutting and the logged
over ground appears the same when
it was left as before operations
began.
Mr.. Amos left Sunday and Mr..
Newman and Mr.. Merritt remained
until Monday visiting and inspect
ing the country surrounding Libby.
Monday morning they motored to
the Fisher country with Mr. Neils
and r. r. Veldman.

Murder Ends

Collins Trys to Shoot Mother

So Shoots Self.
RESIDENT HERE FOR
VERY SHORT PERIOD

Martin Daniel Collins, a resident
of this vicinity for very short
time, met death by his own hands
Thursday afternoon at approximate
ly $50. According to witnesses, shc
attempted to commit murder, failed,
and then took his own life.
According to officers, Collins had
Just returned from Whitefish where
he had been seeking work. He had
stopped at Gopher Inn on his way
to Libby and at his arrival home
parked his trailer ON the highway,
then drove his car to the house and
just sat there.
His nlother-in-laW, Mrs. A. r.
Ship1ey, walked out to the car and
talked to him for few moments
and he told her to send his wife
out. Mrs. Collins came out and
they talked for a few minutes after
which she returned to the house and
the mother-in-law came out.
With no reason Collins shot at her.
She stumbled in shallow well and
this act probably saved her life.
The bullet grazed her shoulder and
tore her dress.
Mrs. Collins ran from the house
and he shot at her but missed. She
tried to get the gun from him but
failed, SO ran behind a truck. 1t
was at this time that Collins fired
the shot fatal to himself
Mrs. Collins came from hiding
and Collins tried again to shoot her.
She succeeded in snatching the gun
this time and Collins died in very
short while.
Collins was SIS years of age and
was born in Freemott, Neb. He
had been in this community for

Over 1000 Register
In Lincoln County

When all registration cards IN the
selective service CONSUMPTION of last
Wednesday had been turned in to
County Clerk Schuck and counted.
it was found that 900 persons had
registered in Lincoln county for
service with the u. S. army. This
number will unquestionably be in
creased to 1000 or more as cards
are mailed here from Lincoln coun-
ty citizens who were out of the
county on registration day and who
were registered at some other point,
says D. O. Mount who has been
appointed chief clerk of the Lincoln
county board.
Possibly only few of these 800
or 900 registrants will be called to
serve. The actual draft is to be
made in Washington on Tuesday,
Oct 90, according to announcement
by radio. The number of men reg
istered in the largest district in the
entire United States will be taken
as a basis. Numbers, in capsules,
equal to the number registered in
this largest district will be placed
in receptacle. They will then be
drawn out one at time. All reg
istrants whose numbers correspond
to the numbers drawn in Washing
ton will thereby be drafted. There
after those desiring exemption can
place their application before their
county boards who will pass on the
matter. Some, of course, will be re-
jected because of physical disabil-
tiles.
1t has been announced that the
first draft will be about Novem-
Der 18 and then only 10000. An
other 10000 will be called in De
cember and 10000 during the frs
six months of the new year.
