GAMBLING HOUSE IS
HELD UP IN CHINOOK

Belated word comes to Havre off,
cials of a midnight holdup of saloon
and gambling house in Chinook by an
apparently lone robber. An unknown
man pulled two revolvers on the bar
tender in Maske & Bovell's saloon,
and six customers at II p. M, and es-
capped with 1886, taken from the regis
ter and crowd.
The robber is said to have looked
pretty much the same as the "pal' he
is said to have had stationed on the

stable and deputy sheriff, wires to
have arrested as soon as spotted, "a
man feet inches in heighth, of me-
dunn build, weighing probably ITO
pounds, wearing a soft black hat;
with man little smaller, dressed
about the same"
The robber, as trainmen hear the
news, backed everybody in the saloon
up against the wall, facing his reyol-
vers, and took what he pleased, which
was everything bearing the appear

HOLIDAY
TO BE NOTABLE

In olden days the pageants of the
world were devoted to doing honor te
kings, queens, earls, barons, dukes and
other frauds, by fortune born and by
foolish habit maintained. Today, in
the United States at least-God bless
the land Labor is king. 1t is tc
this king we all bow and in honor o1
whose dignity and greatness we hold
annual festivities in city, town and
hamlet.
Havre this year proposes to outdo
every celebration Of Labor Day pre-
viously attempted in Northern Mon
tana. A mammoth parade is in pros
pect and labor organizations of cities
all along the Great Northern road
from Kalispell to Glasgow have been
invited to participate and to bring
their bands. 1t appears that in near
ly all the other cities there disposi-
tion to-hold no local celebrations, but
to join with the Havre unions in cele-
One important feature of TIE line
of march will, probably, be the ap-
pearance of the newly organized Ma
chinist's band of twenty-five pieces.
The instruments were ordered this
week and are expected to be here in
time for the September festivities.
A continuous program of sports, in
cluding broncho busting, is contem-
plated, and committees of the Trades
and Labor assembly from all local or
ganiZations will meet tonight and
finally arrange details.
The day, which is a legal holiday in
Montana, will be generally recognized
by the closing of stores, banks and Of
fees and practically all the toilers of
the city will be enabled to rest and
enjoy the pleasures of the day.
With the unexcelled Citizens Band
of Havre to lead a procession in which
every business place in the city is rep
resented, together with the Great
Northern shop band, Havre will get
real credit mark that will long and
be remembered.

FRElGHTS TlEDUp

Ihe long expected strike of tele-
graph operators on the Great North
ern, Northern Pacific and Montana
Central railways and branches was
called by President FL. B. Perham Of
ST. Paul at IL o'clock Wednesday
night. President Perham advises the
LEGAL board of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers that $50 men are out on
the Great Northern road and
branches and LOO on the Northern
Pacific. This number, the president
says, represents 81 per cent of the
union members.
In Havre all the operators went
out promptly on order. "At IL D. m.
we turned the board red and went to
bed," says M. e. Bell, who was the
operator in charge when the strike
order went into effect. "That'' he
says "was all there was to it,"
The superintendent of the Western
Union office, however, opened the
keys, turned back the board and

and man at Cut Bank are the only
operators working between Williston
N. D.,and Spokane, Wash. The train
dispatchers, not being members of
the order, remain at their pests, but
none OF them will receive orders and
passenger trains can be moved only
by hand-car signals. Freight traffic is
practically at standstill on all the
roads involved.
The operators say that, in consider
alton of the public, they do not desire
to stop passenger trains unless the
trainmen are asked to take tele-
phonic orders and to work signals,
which is said to be the plan of the
companies. In anticipation Of the
strike, telephones have been establish
ed at intervals of ten miles whereso-
ever possible, but, the ope rators de-
clare, If the trainmen are called on
to use these they will go out.
Havre, owing to its geographical
position and the fact that it is the
terminal of the Montana Central road,
has become storm-center of the
strike and operators are coming in
from isolated outside points. The
strikers, thus augmented from the

HAVRE WILL HOLD
BIG RACING Meet

The Havre Industrial association il
planning to hold a racing meet her.
sometime during the middle of Sep
tember and President Holland to
day appointed the following arrange
ment committee: J. G. Bailey, DR.
J. 4. Wright, H. w. Gross, r. X
Lewis and Arthur johnson.
While this state has no regular
racing circuit formed, the associa-
tion has made dates that do not
conflict and it is the plan of Hayre to
hold the meet here just prior to the
meeting at Great Falls, which is held
from September "a to %. This would
arrange the races here directly after
the meeting at Kalispell and from
here the horses could go to either
Great Falls or Missoula, thus giving
the horsemen three meets on one
ship.
The association voted to affiliate
with the State Business Meas league
and the secretary was instructed to
collect a per capita due Of 81 from
members, and forward same to the
state association at Missoula.
An effort will be made to obtain
reduced railroad rate for home seekers
to this state. and also a reduction of
freight rates on hay to points in
Chouteau county.
The proposition of establishing
Havre as point for holding county
fairs was explained and provides that
a fair commission must be appointed
at the March meeting of the county
commissioners, who would have
authority to appropriate $1,000
toward the fair, with the proviso that
no part of the money shall be expend-
ed for racing.
~ Chairman Carruth of the telephone
committee reported that the approx
mate cost for constructing tele-
phone line south to Box Elder would
be S22 per mile, and by way OF Yantic
to Chinook $55 Or $50 per mile. The
association thought favorable of the
Box Elder route aud the matter was
turned over to the committee on
commerce for immediate action.
Il. K. Deylin and H. w, String
fellow were appointed committee to

ross the reservation in the construc-
lion Of the proposed Warrick road.

purposes of the Great Northern officials
all the towns along the line were

travelled in private car.
"What about Havre?" said Mayor
Newman, after showing the city to
the officials.
'You're doing fne," said Vice
President Hill. "Your progress and,
particularly, your improvement in
appearance, is a surprise 60 me. Lord,
though! Havre will have to look
better than this, with all its changes,
before it looks decent!''
"Well we are decent, whether we
look it or not," said the Mayor.
'Well," said Vice President Hill,
"you haven't got that reputation,
and reputation and appearances are
as much to a city as to an individual.
We folks know and appreciate all the
improvements that have been made
in the last year, but travellers,
imagine, won't be favorably impressed
by the appearance of your backyards,
which are first to stare them in the
face. Travellers don't always get up
town on twenty minute stops.'
"What would you suggestY' said
the mayor.
''Put up some high board fences,
said Mr.. Hill.
II will recommend the suggestion
to the council" said the mayor, and
he did, informally, Tuesday night.
