POLICE MATTERS.
A Peddler Who Made Himself Obnoxious
Put on tine Rock Pile.

Great Falls, Aug. "A number of
complaints We're received yesterday
afternoon to the effect that a peddler
was going about on the north side
making himself obnoxious to women,
and in some cases pushing into the
houses against the will of the occu-
pant He was selling one of those fake
things made out of wire, and possibly
1t had great merit, but to the initiated
it looks like something that a boy
would twist up in a moment of idle
ness. However, the peddler claimed
that 1t was of extreme use in holding
napkins and towels to chairs, and in
every place he visited he Illustrated it's
use.
Then Chief Guerin got after him, and
some time last night landed him in jail
This morning the court gave him five
days on the rock pile for peddling
without a license.
The police have been notified to look
out for two Indian boys, both about 16
years old, who have run away from the
school at Fort Shaw. This is the first
instance of this kind for several
months. although earlier in the history
aways. The small Indian has no griev-
ance, but it is his nature to chafe
when restrained.
Another notice is that of Judge
Henry G. Smith of the Helena district
court which offers a reward of 5000 for
information 'of the present where
abouts, dead or alive. of George Yates,
last heard of at Marysville, Mont,
about July, 1896" The police say they
are ready at any time to earn the re-
ward, but they must decline, if they
find he is dead, to discuss the problem
of his present whereabouts or to make
any search for them.

convicted at Belt of riding upon the
sidewalk and breaking windows, and
given a term in the county Jail. He
appeals to the court for the writ on
the plea that the offense for which he
is imprisoned is not an offense under
the Montana statutes, as it is not there
defined as a crime. The county attor-
ney in defense merely cited section
1914 of the criminal code, which speci-
fically makes this act a crime and pro-
vides for it's punishment, and the court
at once denied the application for writ.

Same House as Her Husband
Great Falls, Aug. 1.-The plaintiff in
the divorce suit of Dora VS.. Louis Dali
thorp to-day applied to the court for an
order directing the defendant to pay in
to court the weekly sum of $40, to be
used for her support; the sum of 500

ever fees for medical treatment that
may be contracted by her during the
tendency of the case. She alleges that
she is ill and unable to work, and that
because of lack of means she is OBJ
lleged to live in the same house with
Louis, who, in spite of the courts re-
straining order, persists in harassing
her and endeavoring to force her into
a position which would invalidate her
complaint and action for divorce. Since
the beginning of the suit, about two
weeks ago, Dora says Louis has dug

Famous Smoking Contests in Which
Many Cigars Were Consumed.

From the st. James Gazette.
Smoking is the temperate as we'll as
the contemplative mans recreation and
great smokers are loath to exhibit their
tobacco consuming abilities by en-
gaging in smoking contests. Still, how
ever. there have been some curious to-
bacco burning races. In 1923 there was
a great smoking contest at oxford
England, a sCaffold being erected in
front of an inn for the accommodation
of the competitors. The conditions
were that any one. man or woman,
who could smoke three ounces of to-
baCcO first, without drinking or leav-
ing the stage, should have prize of IL
shillings.

Judging from the enormous number VI let
ters received by THE SUN during the past two
weeks there Is nothing so attractive TO tho
average whist player az q really first-class prob
lem. Several ~ our best solvers confess to
having spent two or three days on the one pub
lished on March 3 and only one Of them sue
ceeGed In getting IL right. Quite n number
have written two or three letters. withdrawing
their first solutions and substituting others.
Many have asked to he informed by mail
whether or not they were correct. In order that
they might try again. and one enthusiast has
written no fewer than eight times. insisting
that he was right. but finally giving II up. No
fewer than twenty-four asserted that the prob
lem was impossible and attempted to demon
strate II by ANALYSIS. The following letter
from f.. d. c.. New Haven. is a fair sample.
In answer to your problem l would say that
the solution is impossible. for II Z discards
spades and holds diamonds. while W discards
diamonds and holds spades then n and s can

G.. Is. NJ. one OF our cleverest %solvers. does
not see how n and s are going to get round tina
position in which the end play leaves n and
W with two spades and y In the lead. G. H.
Fish. who has never failed but once before
on our problems. got caught on this one by
overlooking the fact that SIS FIRST discard must
be a spade unless f has been foolish enough
to let go a club. All his solutions we're based
on SIS original discard OF a diamond. which
will not solve the problem. W. d. Orr has
never before failed on o problem. but in this
one. although he gave seven variations. his
original discard from Ss hand or his L and
w defences were wrong in every case.
The problem Is slightly altered from one
composed by w. H.. Whitfield in 1894. A
handsome prize was offered for It's solution In
February OF that year. but although nearly a
hundred answers were received. mono Of them

The point Of the plav is that Ivy putting on

your left YOU and your %nartner have the double
tenace between YOU. There are some cases, Of

might jump in with the ace Of trumps in order
to get his suit in lighting trim nj once. Other
wise 1t ,would be bad strategy to force your
sell 10 lead NJ to declared strength in plain
suits. The only danger is in allowing the
trumps to continue 10y not putting on the ace.
but as already pointed out the king must be on
your lett for them to 20 twice. and II they do
&c, again they come up TO your certain tenace.
MANY players are unnecessarily afraid Of let
ting the frumrS run on when the alversaries
star them. and so they Jump into the lead
without due consideration Of what they will do
