MONTANA, SATURDA x y, APRIL\ ta t., 11109 $2.00 THE YFAR HE PJTN A K.ARATTIPIRT Ci . nr Windham was the scene Tuesday of a bloody encounter which came near putting one man in his grave end resulted in both participanis be- ing arrested, one for assault in the first degree mei the other for grand larceny. The participants in the fracas, which started over a bottle of whie key taken in a joke, were Joe Mer- tin, a - sheepherder, and a man who has been going by the name of Chas. Reed, but whose true name is Her- man Keilhauer. As. related by witnesses, Reed.had aggravated Martin. who was drink- ing, by petty annoyances during the day, and when the latter started for home about 2:30 iq the afternoon, so Reed says, he mischievously took a half pint bottle from Martin's pocket. From this trouble grew un- til, from fisteuffs, Martin introduced a pocket knife and slashed the throat ot Reed. At this point trouble was etopped. Martin mounted his horse and started again for home. Reed, after collecting himself, grew furious at his unseemly wound, and at- tempted to borrow a horse with which to give chase. Failing in this he pursued Martin on foot and actually ran the horse down and reached Martin just as Martin had dismounted and secured ap axe. at the Hamilton ranch, two and a half miles from Windham. Reed, who had demonstrated his ability as a long distance sprinter, thought it time to start the second heat, tore for the house at a clip that would make Tom Longboat's best mara- thon efforts look like miii anchored Indian tobacco sign. He reached the house two loegths ahead with his pursuer running well, but carry- ing too much weight. Mrs, Gillis, who, with her husband now occppy the house, was at the time alone. Reed snatched It rifle from the wall The Top of His Head Comes Off The return of Deputy Sheriff Mor- gan and C. L Cook of the Judith river country, is told of on another page of this paper, printed earlier in the week. These gentlemen had been absent for n.number of weeks, spent in Canada, ferriting out the haunts of a bold bunch of horse thieves whose unceasing efforts and thieving success if not soon stopped would deplete the range. Mr. Cook has twice sufferedeiosses from this maruding, and, thOefore, eccom- panied the deputy on the search. The World twis led into the folly of suppressing its information by assurances of Mr. Cook that nothing coneerning the results of the trip were to he released for publication, until the remainder of the horses were located and the clues followed which would certainly result in the apprehension of the thieves. On this point, however, there seems to have been on imperfect understand- ing, for When Morgan -reached Lew- istown he proved one of the livest wires the little twilight effort at the county seat ever tripped over. The embargo being lifted, the World can state that while the Cook horses were not located, over twenty head of Fergus county horses were, and that the Canadian accomplices of the gang are under surveillance, while the identity of the thieves has been established and their arrest is . sure to follow. .11.1 TELo ANF 0 1.40 Best Hotel on Billings & Northern Railway.

At the point of the gun, he took aWAy from the knife and axe artist $10 in money, horse and saddle, and went back to Windham. Reed came to Stanford that night and had his threat sewed up by Dr. R. L. Igel, who pronounced the es- cape froth death miraculous. Had the blade penetrated a trifle deeper the Windpipe would have been sthe- ered. An ugly wound three inebbs long was inflicted. On advice of the county attorney Judge Waddell on Thursday, issued warrants for both Reed and Martin, charging the latter with first degree assault and the former with grand larceny. They were promptly ar- rested by Deputy Soeriff Whitcomb and brought to Stanford. Preliminary hearing was set for Monday at 7 o'clock p. m. Martin wes released under bail. of $1,000. Reed was unable te furnish bonds and is held in jail here.

During the evening the many questions Can .4.(moire No Yet The three weeks estimated by the secretary of the interior in confer- ence with Senator Dixon, before Montana lands applicable to the provieions of the 320 -acre home- stead law would be designated have elapsed. The time when this law will become operative is yet very tweet in, but in the opinion of this pa , is tiot far distant. The clam- or for filings under its provisions is everywhere incessant, sufficient ihdeed, to call forth a circular letter to the various land offices. The following dispatch has been sent out from Helena: 'Not for sonic time will it be pos- sible for lands to be entered under the provisions of the enlarged home- stead law. Offiejale of the Helena l land office today ree ved a circu- lar letter from Cor a l siener Den - nett, andvising them that 'no rights whatever can be acquired under the said act, either by application or settlement, prior to the time that' the lists are received in the local land offices. The officials 'are di- rected to inform all applicants that they will gain no rights by filing of such applications, or by appeal from the rejection thereof.' \ ..., — .. I.1.• which are up to the inhabitants of a new, prosperous and growing city were under discussioe. One of the most important mat- ters, the opinion being, was that re- lating to the old and new county roads. It was decided by the club, as a sort of declaration of pritiples, 'that the proposal to change any of the old roads in this portion of the county should be investigated by the organization which exists for the sole purpose of guarding the intersts of future greater Stanford, The president was authorized to ap- point a committee to see that this was done. The comma aication from the Bil- lings Chamber of Commerce inviting Stanford to a place on the -state board of control for the Dry' Farm- ing congress was received artd by an unanimous vote the Membership selected A. J. Stough for the place. The street - grading committee was instructed to use diligence in co-operating with the road super- visor and to hasten a report of the situation to the club, which pro- poses that Central avenue shall be one of the best kept business streets in the state. A Fourth of July celebration at St9nford may be accounted one the certainties which the club will guar- antee. Stock of what the city and surrounding country had to offer for Attractions was taken, and it was found that a program of more than average merit could be easily arranged.. That the farmers' institute which is set for Saturday, May 29th, will be well attended is guaranteed by a Publicity committee appointed.
