[scene of the killing on a pack horse
fcGann Ordered Morrison off the
Grdund and Then Shot Him as
he was Leaving.
Lewiston, March 16.—The body
John Ii. Morrison, who Was kill
l-d near Stuart last Tuesday by
[to Stuart and was embalmed there
(by C. J. Vassar, of the Lewiston
Undertaking & Furniture Co. The
remains were met here by Mr. and
Mrs. C. H. Edwards, of Missoula.
Mr6. Edwards being a sister of the
deceased. The body will be in
terred in the city cemetery here,
the funeral being held from the un
dertaking parlors at 2:RH o'clock
this aftJrlioon.
R. Fitting, p! Htuart, accompa
nied the remains to this city yes
terday, He was a neighbor of
Mo.rison and was one of the first
, , ,
Parties -to reach the scene after the
tragedy occurred. He Was also a
Inember of the coroner's jury which
found thuitbe killing of Morrison
was committed by MeGann with
criminal intent. The preliminary
examination of MeGfihn on the
charge of tnlirder was held at Mtunrt
The feeling of the people of
6tuart is most pronounced against
MeGann, the opinion being that
the killing was entirely without
justification. From the informa-]
tion brought out at the coroner's
inquest it appears that Morrison
had Simply gone on the disputed
land to assist Nrls Heather con
struct a fence and wits retiring at
the command uf McGfinn when the
latter shot. It seems that Heather
had built a cabin on the tract and
that a bam owned by MoGann was
also on the lands A-ftet deciding
to fence the tract, Heather secured ;
the services of Morrison to aflsist
him and theV went ,1h the land ill
question On fast Tuesday afternoon.
One load Of rails had been hauled !
lo the gfobnd and Heather wrs re- j
turning for another load, leaving j
Morrison to erect the fence, When
MeGann appeared on the scene •
With a rifle, He walked up to the ;
point where Mofrison was working, j
Heather Was theli rolhe distance
uway, but stopped his team. From '
his teBtlbionv it appears that Me-j
Gann immediately began clirslng ,
Morrison and commanded him to .
leavfe the premises Or he Would kill \
him. Morrison Saidi "Which Wav
shall I SO?" When MeGann replied:
"Home. Morrison then Started
toward home, Carrying ah axfe in
his hahd Which he had brought
With him to usfe in fence construc
tion work. MeGann was seen to
follow him and when they disap
peared from the view of Heather
over the hill the latter heard the
shot artd an outbty ffom Morrisbn
Heather then went td his home and
after unhitching his team started
to return to the scene of the shoot
ing, when MeGann appeared and
fired two shots. Heather thought
these shots were fired at him, but
could not swear positively to that
.tact. He then started for Stuart
to report the tfagedy to the au
thorities; When Mr- Fitting and
others reathed thescehe, aiter being
notified by Heather, they found the
laid y of Morrison lying face down
ward on thfe hillside. The axe was
tying two Ur three ffefet below him
ahd a pair of Working gloves Were
dhtched in his left hand. Thfe
bullet that killed him had entered i
his tight thigh from behittd and j
Where
pehetriitfed to the abdomen
it lodged.
Mr. Fitting eavs Mr. Morrison
fVue a peaceable man ahd that his
death in greatly deplored by all
who knew him.
McGann's defence, it Is under
stood. will be to the effect that
Morrison Was èfadeévoring to assail
him wflh thfe axe when the
was fired. —Tribuite.

And this reminds tts that we might to
take some Odtieferted action to make
these" eastern hoipçscekers acquainted
with our country. All we have to tell
them is the truth and it will lie u sufti
vient inducement for any sane man to
locate in our midst. The question]
naturally arises, "How are we going to
tell them the truth?"- We suggest that
funds be raised to print pamphlets,
circulars and a special edition or two of
the paper and the proper steps taken to
distribute this literature among the in
coming hooieseekers. When the new
material for the "Chronicle" (aS this
paper will I»? called) arrives, we will
guarantee to get out a bright, clean,
up to date paper, and will publish a
special edition, descriptive of this sec
tion, and print as many copies us de*>
sired for the cost of the extra la lair nnd
material. Our neighboring town,
Orangeville, has already raised quite an
amount of money and is now figuring
on sending a representative to St. Raul
to describe the merits of'that particular
section (Orangeville) to the prospective
investor. This matter should be taken
in hand by our business men, as no one
will liecome aware of our resources if we
take no trouble to make them known,
THE LEGISLATURE
Representative Moore was re
sponsible for the election of speak
er McKinlay but says he is not
proud of it. When asked how he
Came t<* support the young Sho
shone man, he said! "It Was situ'
ply a proposition of choosing all un j
known boy, 23 years of age, from
] the north, or another equally oh
||
I scure man from the south, but 2
years older. Of course 1 supported
tiie northern man) he Was made
speaker. It was the saddes,. mis
take a legislature ever made and I
am sorry for the part I had in it.
Before lie had been io the chair ten
days McKinlay had lost the confi
deuce obpVery member of the lews

he had lost the respect of all. He

nature that no atnolmt of education
could retine, and his attitude
