Day Of Reckoning
Near at Hand
St. Paul Auditing Firm Now at
Work Checking Up Records Of
Old Billings County-Eard
Job Ahead.

o. A. Spies, senior accountant
of Temple, Webb & Co., an audit
ing firm of St. Paul, commenced
work last week at Medora check
ing up the records of old Billings
county, having been engaged by
the county commissioners Of
Golden Valley county to act for
them in obtaining facts and fig
ures upon which to base a settle
1nent with the old county.
A complete examination Of the
records OF the old county will be
made and County Auditor Nc
Carthy y1ill assist in the work.
The task is big one, especially
SO in this case on account of the
method or system followed by
some of the old officers Of Bill
ings county.
The county commissioners of
Billings county are working in con-
junction with the Golden Valley
commissioners and it is expected
that when MIR. Spies completes
his work settlement can be read
lily adjusted between the respec-
tive counties.
Although the work has been in
progress for some time, we under
stand that no information will be
given out as to the condition Of
affairs at the Medora court house
until the work of examination has
been completed, at which time e
complete report will no doubt be
made public.
On account of the many ru
mors and conflicting reports ol
other examiners who have gone
over the records the present ex
animation is anxiously awaited by
many who believe things are no
as they should be at the old coun
ty seat.

Little Child Lost
In the Hills
Found After Forty Hour Search
and was Eating Grass-Father
Wanted to Give Up Search

According to the Glendive In
dependent baby girl, two years
and four months old, the daugh-
ter of Polish farmer whose place
is south of Gene Williams, on
Clear Creek, wandered from her
home Sunday at noon and was not
found until early Tuesday morn
ing having wandered seven miles
from her home and was found
near Nick Buttleman's ranch.
When found by the posse that
had been searching desperately
for her since Sunday, the baby
svas weak from exhaustion and
lack of food and nearly frozen
from the cold of two nights cx-
posure. She was very thinly clad
and the little thing must have suf-
fered terribly. She was eating
ing grass when found.
The father, Frank Latka, who
refused to continue his search aft
er 10 o'clock Sunday night say
ing he was tired and had to go to
bed, came near being roughly
handled by his neighbors who
were indignant at what they con-
sidered his inhuman indifference.
After his refusal to continue the
search on Monday, stating that his
blowing was Of more Importance
and that the coyotes would prob
ably get the child anyway, their
anger began to assume dangerous
proportions. On the whole, he
took the matter SO cody that
some of his neighbors, fearing
that the man may have made
away with the child, went to Glen
dive and got assistance of County
Attorney Slattery, Sheriff Wynn
and Stock Inspector Twible, who
made the trip by auto to the scene
of the search, only to find the
child had been located.
About noon on Sunday one of
the children, a boy about U years
of age, was sent by his father to
bring in the cows, and it seems
that the little tot followed him for
a considerable distance before he
discovered her and ordered her
to go back. She started to cry
but as she started in the direction
Of the farm house, the lad thought
10 more of it and went on his
way.
The baby was not really missed
until the lad returned without her,
,vhen the mother. who was nearly
frantic with grief. summoned aid
and party Of about twenty then
began the search which lasted un.
til FIVE o clock Tuesday morning.

Ladies OF the City Will Open And
Maintain Place in Business Cen
ter of City-to Be Open in Ten
Days.

Beach is to have rest room in
the near future and the ladies of
the city, headed by Mrs. M. H.
jefferson, are now busy making
the necessary arrangements. AL
though the location has not yet
been decided upon it will be To-
Gated in the business center of the
city where it will be a convenient
resting place for those coming in
from the country who have trad
ing and business to attend to.
Everyone is asked to assist in furn-
ishing the rooms and anyone
wishing to donate chairs, cush-
ions sanitary couch, rugs, table.
books, magazines. curtins, couch
covers, broom, ETC., for this pur-
pose may telephone Mrs. Jefer-
son. Mrs. Mark Lowell, J, F.
Reeve and A. M. Wallace havs
already started the ball aro.nne
by donating toward the furnish
ings.
When the rooms are opened to
the public record Of all visitors
will be kept so that those inter-
ested in the work may know who
patronize and take advantage Of
the place. The Chronicle believes
rest room is something that the
town has needed and that it will
be appreciated by the country
people goes without saying.

Trip Through the North

Coach Jim Collifower VIII be In a
pretty predicament II things cannot be
arranged so that Charlie wetzeil, George
towns star basketball guard. will be
able to go on the Northern trp with
the quint. In an interview with Wet
zell yesterday, he stated that he could
not spare the time from his work to go
with the team. It came as q hard blow
to his cohorts when It was announced
that he was unable to accompany the
team when It goes to play the Yale team
at New Haven and New York UnIver-
sity at Gotham
This piece of bad luck comes at a very
bad time. Just when Collifiower was
rounding the boys into good condition
and they were showing some resem-
blance of team work, along comes the
news that Wetzell will not be able TO
play on the Northern trip. Around Wet
zell Coach CoIlifiower has built his team,
and It will be some work for the George
town coach to find a player that can
fill WetzelPs shoes to satisfaction.

These championship belts or badges, ol

weights were abided by and they would
for obvious reasons, be simply EN-
blematic of the boxing championships OF
the United States. II is not to be sup
posed that New York would care &c
furnish regalia for king pin boxers
among all nations.
1t may be that New York would be in
a better position to inaugurate a move
ment of the kind mentioned II it would
amend its boxing law so as to have box

Then the big city itself. no doubt. would

As for Willie RItchie. he is such a
pleasant-mannered.m mild-spoken fellow
that there is no telling how the two

bird whispered. though, that Willie will
take very kindly to the extra weight.

senting to the extension out of cour-
tesy to the gentlemen of the commits

joice in his heart II the new schedule
takes root. for a bare two pounds has
kept Packey out of the lightweight
lists for years. Jack Britton will also
come under the head OF new light

Special to Tie Washington Herald
San Francisco, Jan. 3O.-The New York
Boxing Commissions revised schedule of
weights is causing lots of argument, and
that in itself is a hopeful sign. Now, IL
England or France or Australia will re-
frain from submitting a somewhat diff
ferent classification the boxing centers
OF the world may be able to adopt a
common schedule, something they have
never been able to do up TO the present.
The trouble with these things is that
whenever any one submits a new weight
list some one else is ready with one that
II is claimed is ever so much better. and
after little desultory discussion the
older order of things goeth right along.
As a matter of fact tho New York
schedule is nothing new. The weight
limits mentioned have been suggested
over and over again during the past
dozen years. but never adopted for the
reas son that there was no commission
anywhere to take the matter UP. Now
that a duly constituted body in control
Of boxing has taken the initiative In the
matter, there is good prospect Of uni
versal adoption.
OF course. there will be objections TO
the extension of the boundary line in
some of the classes, and needless TO say
these will come from champions who
"ish, ItdsOuS, 10
along old lines
Already one promoter has said: what
Is the use of a standard of weights IL
a worlds champion insists upon all his
opponents coming to a notch that is a
couple of pounds below the Official
scale?"
Well, IL a worlds champion becomes
hotty-toity in the direction named. 1t will
be hard to discipline him. at least until
the new schedule has worldwide adop-
ton and support. But so far as this
country Is concerned there is no way in
which the New York Athletic Commits
sion can assert its authority.
Taking as the basis of argument that
the New York commission is the only
committee IN this country bearing any
semblance to a parent body and that
there is an inclination in other cities to
look up to II as such, why couldn't the
commission set aside a certain sum from
the State revenue derived from boxing,
which is said to be considerable, for the
purchase of belts or medals or other
insignia indicative OF championship ex-
cellences
These trophies need not be expensive
but you can bet your life they would
be priced once the commission let II be
