Samples of the wonderful farm products of Bates county should be placedon exhibition at the St. Louis and St. Joseph fairs. If done it would provea great advertising card for the county, and be the means ot showing the productiveness of the soil ata very trifling expense. Of course all will readily admit that it ought to be done. But the ques- tion arises, who will take the trouble to gather the collection? The Tnres suggests that the Commercial club take the matter in hand, secure a storage room and then solicit the farmers in each section ofthe coun- ty tocollect the best samples of their crops and bring it to town and place it in the sample room for shipment. This much could be done without expense, as we feel sure the farmers would be glad to comply with such a reasonable requst and with pleasure would do this much to assist in ad- vertising the products of the coun- ty. After a collection sufficiently large has been collected in this way then the Commercial club coud se- lect the cream of the display and, at | a cmall cost, send them to the fairs land place the same on exhibition. | If necessary a competent horticul- | turalist could be sent along to ar- | range the display and stay there and explain to enquiring strangers.

A BUTLER BOY'S MURDER AVENGED. Harry Roberts, the Slayer of J. W Crawford, Hanged. Butte, Mont., Aug. 23.—Harry Roberts was hanged to-day for the murder of J. W. Crawford. The drop fell at 1:12 and Roberts’ neck was broken by the fall. A strong pressure was brought to bear by Grand Army comrades and a num- ber of citizens to have the sentence commuted to life imprisonment, and it was not until 7:48 o'clock this morning that the condemned man abandoned all hope of clemency, sage from Governor White refusing to interfere. Roberts did not weaken to the last but died as he had lived— acool and determined man. This is the first execution in Silver Bow county. Roberts’ crime was the unzprovok- ed killing of Crawford on May 14 last. Crawford was a teamster un- der Roberts and they had a quarrel and Roberts shot him while drink- ing. A somewhat dramatic incident was connected with the burial of Craw- ford. He was a good natured man and kad many friends. His rela- tives all lived at Butler, Mo., and telegrams were sent asking what should be done with the body. No answer was received for two days and the funeral procession with Crawford’s remains was en route to the cemetery when the came rushing down the street with atelegram in his hand. It stated that they would like to have the re- mains but were too poor to bear the expense of embalming and shipping. A collection was taken up on the spot and the body brought back to town and embalmed and shipped and all the expenses paid. It was then discoved that $600 too much had subscribed and this amount was ac- cordingly sent with the remains to relatives. Notice.
