D. Patterson, a cowboy in the employ of Oscar Stephens, Jack Peers. a miner, and Mrs. Barney Hedigan, wife of Barney Hedigan, a former em- ploye of the Fergus Land and Live Stock Co., were immediate participants. It appears that Patterson was infatu- ated with Mrs. Hedigan, and the apparent intimacy of the Hedigun woman and Peers aroused his jealousy to such an extent that he determined to put an end to their lives as well as to his own; at about 8 a. m. Mrs. Hedigan was engaged in cctoking breakfast at the residence of Mrs. James Lee, who was absent in Lewistown, and had hit Mrs. H. to take care of her home and child, When Patterson made his appearance; upon Ilia arrival he at or ce began re- pereaabing Mail. V. about her-. tattl nese and perfidy, ask isig her various questions sato the meaning of the treach- ery displayed towards him, and .finally striking her a violent blow, knocking her down ; when she attempted to rise he again knocktd her down with his re- volver, and as she lay on the floor pros- trate lie fired at her twice in rapid suc- cession. Both shots took effect, one bullet entering the body just, below the right arm and emerging jurst,..ahove the collar bone • the other shot penetrated the head above the left ear, tearing off a portion of the skull and provoking in- stant death. \ Hearing the trouble Jack Peers, who roomed at the Lee reeideece and was in bed upstairs, arose and came down to investigate ; at the entranee to the kit- chen he was met by the thoroughly in- furiated Patterson, who at once sent a bullet into Peers' right side; Peers reeled to the floor and Patterson, evidently satisfied that his aim had been fatal, re- turned to the kitchen, pulled off his hat end put it between his knees, placed the revolver to his right temple and 'fired; he fell to the floor without a struggle and expired instantly. The only witness to tfie tragedy was Roeie Lee, the young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lee. As soon as she could escape the child ran out and alarmed neighbors, and soon a large crowd had arrived to view the awful *scene.
