Discuss County Affairs

The residents of Big Sandy and vi
entity are taking so much interest in
public affairs that they held a public
meeting in the Oliver opera house
last week, to discuss various matters
that affect the general welfare of the
community. Mr.. Ihmsen, chairman of
the board of county commissioners,
made an extended talk upon county
road work and other subjects that
claim the attention of the board from
time to time, and also explained the
status of the county high school pro.

took part in the discussion, and the
meeting went on record without a sin.

proposed bond issue for the construc.

1t occurs to the River Press that
the Big Sandy plan of arriving at a
correct and impartial understanding
of matters relating to the conduct of
public affairs deserves adoption by
other communities. 1t often happens
that wrong impressions are gathered
from statements made by %prejudiced
or misinformed critics who seek to

chouteau County Boys Win

The basketball five of the Chouteau
county high school won their sixth
consecutive victory Friday night, at
the opera house, when they defeated
the fast high school team of Chinook
with a score of 80 to 8.
The playing was scrappy from
start to finish. The first basket was
made by the Chouteau county lads
at the end of eight minutes of furious
playing, and from that time on the
unerring basket shooting of Williams
and Capt. Merger kept the home team
well in the lead-the Chinook boys
securing only one point from foul
while the locals scored eleven points
in the first half.
The second half was a succession
Of baskets, each member of the Chou
teau county team participating in the
scoring. A total of 18 baskets was
thrown during the game by the local
boys, divided as follows: Williams
and Capt. Merger, z baskets each ;
Harris, one; Reichelt, two; Stillman
one. Williams scored two points on
fouls. The Chinook team scored
three baskets and two points on
fouls.
Although the mighty Harris was ex
ceeded in height by Wheeler, of Chi
nook, he made the latter look like an
amateur in the game. But local ad,
mirers of basketball must take of
their hats to the two guards-Still
man and Reichelt. Although they
have been coached to play entirely
different games, each plays his posi-
ton so we'll that it is almost impos,
sible to break through his close guard.
ing. Ross, the crack basket man OF
the visitors secured but one basket
through Stillman's defense.
The flying" Reichelt played the
game of his life Friday evening, re.
ceiving the ball from any angle, and
time after time dribbling the length
of the floor through the entire Chin
ook team. His speed and head work
are two qualifications that are expect
ed to place him on the all-state team
during the Bozeman tournament.
The Teton county high school will
play here next Saturday night and
the Conrad team the following Thurs,
day, which will close the season OF
eight games. The boys expect to
leave for Bozeman the first week in
March, and their friends hope to see
them bring home many laurels.

CLAIMS UNWRITTEN LAW
Japanese Foreman Killed by Great
Northern Track Walker


AS the result of domestic trouble at
the home of Joseph Moody, a track
walker for the Great Northern rail.
road, the body of Sam Yossonitsu. a
Japanese section foreman, lies in the
local undertaking rooms, and Moody
is being held OF a charge of murder.
The tragedy took place Saturday ev-
ening at the Moody shack a short dis.
lance east of the Benton depot, and
according to the defendant was due to
the persistence of the Jap in paying
attention to his wife during his alb
sence.
The trouble has been brewing for
several weeks, according to Moody,
who says his wife and himself separ-
ated some time ago because of the
visits of the Jap to his home, but a
reconciliation was effected last week
with the understanding that such WIS.,
its should cease. On Saturday ev-
ening, however, Moody returned to
his shack Unexpectedly, and finding
the Jap there he opened fire upon the
intruder with a .3S calibre revolver,
six bullets taking effect as the Jap es.
capped from the house.
Moody at once came to town and
surrendered himself to the authorities
and Coroner w. F. MILFORD went to
the cene of the shooting to make in.
vestigation. The Jap was found at
the foot Of a coulee about fifty yards
from the Moody shack. and was alive
but unconscious when discovered. He
died a short time afterward, while be-
ing brought to the hospital.
A %coroner's inquest was held late
Saturday night, the jury returning q
verdict that death was caused by gun
shot wounds at the hands of Moody
who admitted that he did the shooting
but claimed he had provocation fol
the course he took.

Local Grain Quotations
Wheat.Fed Hogs Are Winners

A news item from Judith Gap says
that section of Montana promises to
become as famous for the raising of
hogs as the corn states of the mid.
die west. Nils Larson. who fattened
hogs in Wisconsin on corn and in
North Dakota on barley, has been ex-
pei imenting on the ~fattening of hogs
on ground wheat, and the result of
his last venture has been exceedingly
gratifying.
He picked out one shoat from a
bunch of Is and has weighed it every
day since putting the lot on a feed
of ground wheat. The first three
weeks they put on ~ pounds a day.
Since then they have added two
pounds a day and will be ready for
the market in March. He has allowed
each hog five pounds of ground wheat
per day, with two days in the week
a ration of ground oats. Mr.. Larson
figures that he is getting $3.50 a BUSH
ell for his wheat by grinding it and
feeding it to his hogs, while the in.
crease in weight has beaten the corn
and barley fed hogs he formerly rails
ed. His wheat-fed hogs furnished bet
ter meat than the others, and thus
command a premium in the market.
This portion of Montana is essen
TALLY a winner wheat section, but
there is not much money in raising it
while the market remains at 60 cents
a bushel. But there is big money in
it if, by feeding it to hogs, it will
bring $3.50 per bushel.

The Chadek Murder Trial

According to advices from Havre,
the trial of Ladimer Chadek in the
district court, is the subject of wide.
spread interest among residents of
Hill county. At the Wednesday ses-
sion of court, the defendant took the
stand and repeated the story told by
him Immediately after the crime and
cOrroborated at that time by the wife
and son of the dead man.
Clladek said that Schudar attacked
him with a club in the cellar of the
latter's house, that he fired two shots
into the ground to scare Schudar and
the latter ran into the house and got
a rifle. Chadek then, according to his
story, started to run across the prai-
RE to get away, and Schudar and his
son came after him with a team; that
Schudar fired at him but missed, but
soon catching up, they caught him
and Schudar was about to kill him
when the boy killed his father to save
his life, and also, to get rid of one
who had made life miserable for his
family, and had threatened to kill all
of them.
All the members Of the Schudar
family agreed with Chadek in this
story Immediately after the shooting,
but at the present trial they have all
testified that following the quarrel in
the cellar, Chadek chased Schudar &C.
ross the prairie and killed him; and
that by threats he scared them into

that the boy had killed his father.

AMONG OUR NEICHBORS.
A Grist Of Items Gathered From Our
Northern Montana Exchanges

Galata Journal: Several cases OF
smallpox are reported in the country
to the north of here. They are of q
mild form and no one appears to be
worrying, not eve the patients, who
seem to think it safer and cheaper to
have the disease than to be vaccinat-
ed.
Big Sandy Mountaineer: Probably
the coolest wave that has swept this
territory since the arrival of the new
settler, struck the Big Sandy country
last Thursday morning together with
a binding snow storm and blizzard.
The thermometer ranged from 20 to
IS below for almost the entire week.
Carter Chronotype: Prosperity was
judfciously distributed in this locality
on Tuesday night and Wednesday by
the weather man in the form of sew.
eral inches of snow. According to
moisture statistics over a period of
20 years, 1914 is due to be a bumper
for everybody in this part of Montana.
Havre Promoter: Otto Trumpa,
wanted in Waukesha, Wisconsin, on a
charge of horse stealing. escaped from
a deputy sheriff from that place last
Friday morning while the deputy was
putting him on train No. 2 at this
place. The temperature was 43 below
at the time and it is feared that he
is frozen to death somewhere in the
surrounding country.
Havre P~laindealer: Some interest.
ing facts regarding the growth of our
local educational institutions are re-
vealed by the monthly report of Su-
perintendent Abbott to the board of
education. The fifth month of this
school year came to an end on the 9Th
of February and on that date there
were In attendance in all of the differ
ent schools, a total of 6O2 pupils.
Geraldine Review: H. S. Compton,
local representative of the Gallatin
Valley Elevator company, gave us a
pointer this week that will be of gen.
eral interest to all and a source of
qualification as we'll. He says the
wheat on this line has more gluten in
its composition than any other wheat
his company has found anywhere
where it operates, and it is one of the
big concerns of the Pacific coast with
an immense milling plant at Seattle
and several in the state.
Chinook Opinion: Sheriff Neibaur
received a telegram last Thursday
from Bluffton, Ind, informing him
that the sheriff there had Brickley
and Preskie, who are wanted here for
forgery, under arrest there and ask
ing for instructions. The necessary
papers requesting requisition papers
for the two men were at once pre-
pared and the sheriff left last night
for Helena to get the governors au-
thority to go after the lei desird.
Glasgow News: Monday was a big
day at the Glasgow land Office, as that
was the date designated by the de-
partment when filings could be made
on lands up in the Baylor and Opheim
country. This land has practically
been covered by squatters for several
years and many of the farms are now
we'll improved, SO the privilege grant
ed Monday was n that has been
a~nxiously looked for by some of the
settlers for a long time. During the
first day the land Office handled 1856
filings and took in about $500 in
filings and other fees.
