Davenport. Aug 2S.-Reports re-
ceived here by the American Game
Protective and Propagation Association
say that an epidemic like that which
destroyed so many wild ducks In the
neighborhood Of Salt Lake City. Utah
in 1910 and 1911. is again threatened
in that territory. The association has
solicited the aid OF the biological sur
vey at Washington. and thru Its Offices
it is probable that the pathological d.
vision Of the bureau OF animal in
dustry will take the matter up and try
to discover a way to check the disease
According to the estimate OF DR.. Fisher
Of the biological survey. 100000 ducks
have already been killed.
A local sportsman has written that

the marshes around Salt Lake are now

ARRESTED FOR CRIME IN GREECE
Murder Charge Runs Greek 70 Irons
At Cedar Rapjds.

Cedar Rapids, Aug. 70. After a
chase that extended from zelehava in
Greece. to Van Horne, in Benton coun-
ty. Iowa. Panagiotis Georgiapoulos,
alias Skiagaros. was arrested at the
latter place by the Benton county sher-
If and John Bithos, of Kansas City,
the latter q Greek who had been fur
nished with the necessary authority to
cause the arrest of Georgiapoulos.
Georgiapoulos was taken to Vinton
In an automobile and locked in the
county Jail there, but Monday eve
ming. according to the story told by
Bithos, the Benton county sheriff got
cold feet" and told Bithos he would
not hold him longer than Tuesday
morning. 1t Is stated that the sheriff
feared the friends of the prisoner
would mob the Jail. and the Benton
county calaboose is not constructed
along lines sufficiently modern to
Withstand riot. altho there was no
danger of any disturbance in the pres
ent case.
Bithos. fearful that his man was go
ing to get away after q search lasting
nearly q year. came to Cedar Rapids
and requested help. Sergeant Chris
Jensen and Bithos went to Vinton and
returned at midnight with Georgiapou-
los. who is now locked up in the city
jail on two charges Of murder. Chief
Carl has sent a message to the immi-
grafton officials at Washington, and
the prisoner will undoubtedly be de-
ported to Greece for trial unless he can
proved he is not the man sought.
The prisoner Is about 80 years of
age. and Bithos claims that he muir
dered q young woman and man in
Greece in November, 1911, the woman
being a sister Of Bithos and the man
his brother in law. The alleged double
murder grew out Of Georgiapoulous be-
ing sent to the penitentiary from Zele-
hava, Greece. In 1905, for rape. and was
released from prison Aug. 20, 1910.
The prisoner denies everything ex-
cept that his name is Panagiotis
Georgiapoulos He at first denied he
had ever been in Zelehava, but finally
admitted he was there about ten years
ago. One of the warrants for his ar
rest, that for killing the woman, Is
dated at Kyporissia Nov. I, 1911, and
the other is datel earlier in the same
year. The warrants are signed by the
coroner. and Bithos also has papers
showing that Georgiapouols served five
years for rape. The warrants are also
signed by the Greek consul at Chicago.

VICE PRESIDENT
SHERMAN DEAD

A telephone message yester-
day announced the death of Vice
P. esident Sherman at his home
in Utica, N. Y, at 8 o'clock a. m.
before.
His death while not unexpect-
ed was more sudden than antici-
pated and causes a gloom over
the country.
A candidate as running mate
for President Taft will be select
ed by the national committee,
but it will probably be too late
to have a place on any of the
ballots, although that is not
necessary, voters not having the
privilege of voting direct for
either president or vice presi-
dent.

1t is we'll known that the f.
nances of the town will not war
rant the town in building the
sidewalk and the school district
may not not feel disposed to do
so. So it is likely minstrel show
will be resorted to for the funds.
With a sidewalk on the street
on both sides, except in front of
the square, would be an incon-
venience, and many would ap-
preciate a walk on both sides of
the street all the way.
The success attained by local
people last winter with a show

pie of months intervening for

rest assured of good time that

TWO JUDGES
TO Be ELECTED

There seems to be a misap-
prehension among voters as to
the election of the two district
court judges this fall. Some
voters believe they are compelled
to vote for one from Missoula
and the other from Ravalli coun-
ty. This is not the case. Vot-
ers may vote for the two to be
elected all from either county, or
they may vote for one from each
county, or for one only.
The candidates are E. C. Null
roney and w. P. Baker on the
republican ticket, Major A. L.
Duncan and r. Lee McColluch
on the democratic ticket and
Theo. Lentz on the Bull Moose
ticket.
Mr.. Mulroney, Maj. Duncan
and Mr.. Lentz live in Missoula,
while Mr.. Baker and Mr.. McCol-
luch live in Hamilton.
The reason some voters think
they must vote for one from
each county is that the law re-
quires one Of the Judges to hold
court in Hamilton, but
that is all. They could both live
in Missoula and one could still
hold chambers court at Hamilton
or one might remove to Hamilton
after being elected. This ex-
planation is given simply to cor
rect wrong impression which
prevails.

CUTTING AFFRAy At POL SON
BETWEEN M'LE0D AND BOYD

Word came to Roman Monday
of a serious cutting affray at
Poison Sunday evening wherein
Hector Mcleod may have fatally
stabbed Roy Boyd. 1t seems
they have been having trouble
ever since the former was releas-
ed from jail in Missoula and it
terminated Sunday last by one
being seriously slashed and the
other getting himself in jail
again.
Mcleod was arrested at once
and after a hearing his bonds to
appear before the district court
for trial was fixed at $4,000,
which he was unable to furnish
and was taken to the county jail
at Kalispell. The trouble seems
to have been over the fact that
Boyd was paying altogether too
much attention to Mrs. Mcleod,
and after the slasher was arrest
ed he was asked if he was not
sorry for what he had done, re-
piled, mo, | will kill him as
soon as | get out"
Both are we'll known here, the
injured man having lived in Ro-
nan for year or more previous
to the fire, and Mcleod until the
middle Of the summer.

BOOSTING FOR THE
RESERVATION CANDIDATE

Miss Anna Piedalue and Miss
Louise Bouchard, popular young
ladies OF Roman, left Wednesday
for a trip over the Couer d d'Alene
branch in the interest of A. ].
Brewer, the Roman and reserva-
ton candidate for the legisla-
ture. These young ladies carry
with them a supply of Brewer
campaign buttons and will en-
deavor to securely pin one on
every voter in that section of
the county.
On election day Miss Bouchard
will campaign for Mr.. Brewer in
that section and Miss Piedalue
will carry on a warfare in his
behalf in Frenchtown.
This shows the popularity of
Mr.. Brewer among his home
people, all of them, both male
and female being willing to de-
vote their time and labor toward
his election.

BULL MOOSE: MEETING LAST

The Bull Mooscrs held a rally
in Roman Tuesday last, being the
last of the campaign to be held
here of a strictly partisan ma
ture.
They were accompanied by the
ST. Ignatius band and as usual
this aggregation served up some
classy music. The speakers were
all of local celebrity, being
principally candidates on the
county ticket. Among them
were W. R. Glasscock, L. N.
Simons and Duncan Mcdonald.
candidates for the legislature,
DR.. S. Fl. Mccall, candidate for
sheriff, Uncle" Charlie Harnois,
candidate for auditor, and Paul
Gerber, candidate for county
treasurer.
The principal speaker of the
evening was r. Justin Miller, a
student in the university at Mis-
soula, who discussed Bull Moose
doctrine at length and served up
the first simon pure progressive
arguments to be heard in Roman
this season. He is a pleasant
speaker, and with age and ex-
perience will be heard from
again. Nothing particularly new
was presented and his converts
may be counted easily.
The candidates told of their
particular fitness for the differ
ent Offices they aspire to and
are the only ones who should be
elected.
AS the people have had an
opportunity to see and hear about
all of them, it remains for them
to choose as they seem best.
DR.. M. w. Hall presided as
chairman and filled the position
admirably. This winds up the
campaign in Roman, except for
Wilson Day meeting tomorrow
night at which time all parties
will be represented by speakers
who are to discuss national issues
only. Two speakers will be pre-
sented by all the parties and a
general free for-all will be the
order of the evening.

BIG MEETING Of DEMOCRATS

rounding Roman might have
heard him had they been listen
ing and thereby saved miles of
travel and the discomfort of re-
turning home late. His talk was
about the trusts and the tariff,
always very interesting-and
from his standpoint the wonder
is people have clothes to wear or
things to eat. He closed by ask
ing for their votes if he was
found to be worthy of them.
Mr.. Marlowe also has lung
power to burn, and being rather
diminutive in stature-up and
down-was mounted on the table
so that people in the rear of the
front seat might have a look at
him. His speech was along the
lines Of Mr.. Besancon and Mr..
Hefron, being devoted almost
entirely to national issues. He
did take a turn at the Bull
Moosers, as also did Mr.. Hefron
by the way, and just why they
should denounce their friends
and allies is not quite plain.
Without the Bull Moosers getting
many votes from the republican
ranks, the democrats would not
have any chance of winning, so
it would seem to have been bet
ter judgment to have encouraged
rather than ridiculed the follow
ers of the Colonel.
Thos. P. Conlon, for clerk of
the district court, VIM. J. Kel-
ley, for sheriff, w. J. Darlington
for county clerk and recorder,
Miss Elsie Cyr, for superinten-
dent of schools, Dan Currie for
assessor, VIM. D. Kendrick for
coroner and F. w. Kuphal for
the legislature also made short
talks. The latter made the fun
of the evening, and it is safe to
say has many friends in this Sec
tion of the county. John G.
Helfrich, Jack" as he is called,
also amused the crowd and did
himself no harm.
After the speaking free
dance was indulged in and the
candidates left next morning for
Ravalli for a noon meeting.

FARM FINANCE and CREDIT
TO WORKING FARMERS

A proposal has been advanced
by the Southern commercial con-
gress to send a commission to
Europe next spring for the pur-
pose Of studying the general
problem of farm finance, and
more particularly methods of
furnishing credit to working
farmers. The congress has
sought the cooperation of the
agricultural colleges.
1t is urged by President w. O.
Thompson, chairman of the
executive committee of the as
sociation of american agricultural
colleges and experiment stations
that each landgrant college seek
to secure from the incoming leg
islature an appropriation of $25O0
for the purpose of paying the ex-
pense of two delegates from each
state as members of the propos-
ed rural finance commission, one
delegate to be appointed by the
governor of the state, the other
by the board of trustees of the
landgrant colleges, and that spe-
cial effort be made to have the
appropriation made and the dele
gates appointed and certified to
the Southern commercial con-
gress not later than February |,
1913.
1t is suggested by the Associa-
ton that the scope of the work
OF the proposed commission be
so broadened as to include the
following subjects; rural finance;
cooperative purchasing and sell
ing among farmers; rural and
agricultural schools; agricultural
colleges, research and extension;
rura! social life.
Every effort is being put forth
for the benefit Of the farmer.
The Montana state college is for
the first time offering to the
farmers and homemakers a
country life convention, courses
in farm management, agricul-
ture, dairying, road making, ami
NAL husbandry, horticulture and
homemakers' short courses are
offered.

four tables, Taft, Wilson, Roose-
welt and Debs, and voters may

publican, democratic, progress
sive or socialist dinner.

kin and apple pie, jellies, and
other good things to eat.
The ladies invite everybody to

% cents for children will be
made.

MAKING RAPID PROGRESS
WITH new Big STORE

Rapid progress is being made
with the brick and carpenter
work of Stanley Scearce's new
store building. The south and
west walls are up to the height
of the ceiling, Ia feet, and the
piers on the east and north are
approaching the same height.
The carpenters are placing the
upper joist at this time and it
begins to look like the building
would be ready for occupancy by
the middle of December.
The entire floor space will be
in one large room, steel pillars
being used to support the roof.
the ceiling will be Of steel and
the arrangement Of the different
departments will be as modern
and up to-date as possible to
have them.
1t is the earnest desire and in
tention of Mr.. Scarce to have
the building filled with new
goods for the holiday trade and
for the benefit of Roman and the
surrounding country it is hoped
he will not be disappointed.
