DESPERATE IS
FINALLY CAUGHT
George Baysinger Wanted for
Robbery in St. Paul.
DEPUTY SHERIFF WOUNDED
By Clever Ruse Baysinger Gets Drop
on Sheriff and Undersheriff of
Rosebud County.

A wife's devotion led last week to
the arrest of George Baysinger, want
ed by the st. Paul police on a charge
of assaulting and robbing Julius Hen
ry, paymaster for the Bass Structural
Iron Co., of $4,000 on January 9th.
Mrs. Baysinger left St. Paul six
weeks ago and two detectives went on
the same train. They travelled to Glas-
gov, where Mrs. Baysinger stopped.
No trace of Baysinger was found here
and the woman declared she did not
know where her husband was and that
she was forced to go to Montana to
find employment.
Believing that they were on the
wrong trail, the detectives returned
to St. Paul and were at once ordered
to go back to Montana. When they
arrived at Glasgow the second time
they found that Mrs. Baysinger had
left. A few days hunt elected re-
port that she had joined her huband
at Forsyth.
Baysinger had left Forsyth when
the detectives arrived there and had
gone to Jordan, in Dawson county.
The sheriff and Undersheriff of Rose
bud county took up Baysinger's trail
and found him at Jordan. They ar
rested Baysinger and had gotten into
their automobile when Baysinger ask
ed if he could 60 into the house to
get his hat. The officers were seated
in their automobile and granted the
request. When Baysinger appeared at
the door of the house, few seconds
later, he had the officers looking down
the barrel of Winchester and told
them to "beat it," In the excitement
one of the officers accidentally dis
charged his rifle, the bullet hitting
the engine Of the automobile and put
ting it out of commission. Baysinger
then got horse and started off across
the country.
Unable to follow the fugitive in the
automobile the officers procured hors-
es and started in pursuit. When they
got with range of Baysinger, he took
several shots at them, killing both of
their horses and wounding the deputy
in the leg.
Baysinger did not remain long at
large, as he was captured the follow
ing night by Sheriff Twibble of Daw-
son county, and will be taken to St.
Paul to stand trial.

SENATOR MYERS COMING HERE

f. D. Coleman and George F. Burke
two of the representative citizens of
Valley county, whose homes are at
Glasgow, came to Great Falls yester-
day to confer with Senator Henry L..
Myers concerning visit to Glasgow,
says the Great Falls Tribune. They
had hoped to induce him to continue
his trip from Havre, where he speaks
this evening, to Glasgow, but after
talking it over with the senator, they
were pleased with his suggestion that
while he could not make the trip at
this time he would make visit to
Valley county little later when he
could give attention to some problems
to which they are especially desirous
of directing his attention. The date
of the senator's visit will not be long
deferred, it was said, but it will be a
matter for settlement in the course
of a few weeks.

GRADUATION EXERCISES
DR.. J. H. Hamilton Delivers Fine Ad-
49,. dress at High School.

The Glasgow High School closed the
most successful year of it's existence
Friday evening when the commence
men exercises were held and the
graduating class were presented with
diplomas.
The auditorium Of the high school
held a large audience, the first to wit
ness a graduation in the new nigh
school, and the excellent program was
greatly enjoyed.
DR.. James H. Hamilton, president
Of the Montana College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts at Bozeman de-
livered the commencement address,
taking for his subject EDUCATIONAL
Education"
DIR. Hamilton congratulated the peo-
pie of Glasgow on their splendid high
school building, their excellent educa-
tional system and the fine corps of
instructors. He stated that the facil-
tiles of the new high school would
greatly aid in the splendid work being
carried on, in as much as the pupils
had -all the advantages to be found
in any high school in the state.
"The time has come," said DR.. Ham,
ilton, "when high school graduation
is considered essential to success in
any line of business endeavor. True,
many of our parents and grandparents
never attended high school and made
a good showing in life, but they did
not have to compete with the trained
minds that one finds in all lines of
business and in all professions today.
In preparing the young men and the
young women of the land for their
life's work, the high schools are do
ing great things"
DR.. Hamilton then explained the
new system of vocational education
that is being carried out in all the
high schools of the country. All stu
dents are prepared and educated for
that business or profession to which
they are naturally adapted, or in other
words, to put the square pegs in the
square holes" and the Ground pegs in
the round holes."
"Life of YOUTH" Mammy's Lullaby
and "Calm is the Night" were ex-
cellently sung by the Girls Glee Club
and the Boys Glee Club sang the
Hawaiian Melody" in a pleasing
manner. A chorus of mixed voices
sang "Italia, Italia, Beloved"

PRIZES FOR SUGAR BETS
Moore Telephone Co. Makes Big Offer
To Farmers.

Sugar beets will be given special
attention at the Valley County Fair
this fall. Premiums are offered by
the Moore Telephone and Telegraph
Company for both irrigated and dry
land sugar beets. A first and second

parment of the Montana Agricultural
College at Bozeman. Six beets are re-
quired to make the test, six exhibited
at the county fair and six to be shown
in the county exhibit at the State Fair.
Every farmer growing sugar beets
this year should plan on having at
least 18 beets selected for the pupose.
Mr.. R. J. Moore, manager of the
Telephone Co., stated he believed in
the adaptibility of the soil in Valley
County to sugar beet culture, and to
encourage the growing of them this
year to demonstrate the correctness
OF his opinion he has instructed the
Fair Association to include liberal
premiums in the list for the Fair this
fall.
Every farmer in the district where
irrigation is being developed should
get in the game and grow sugar beets
as it will surely show good results
and should be the means of securing
capital interested sufficiently to in

tory at Glasgow.
Farmers who have not as vet secur-
ed sugar beet seed can procure it free

HARD LUCK FOLLOWS WEST
Peter A. West has had considerahl,


Peter A. West has had considerable
trouble during the last two weeks.
Besides losing 81 200 stallion he lost
his automobile in the quick-sand. The
day after the first rain he started to
drive his car to Glasgow. In crossing
a draw he became mired in mud. At
ter several attempts to get upon firm
ground he decided to leave the ma
chine until morning. Taking team
of horses with him, he went out the
next day to find the car almost entire
ly out of sight in the sand. Only a
portion of the back seat was visible.
After some very hard work he got
the automobile from it's watery grave.
1t will need to be overhauled and re-
upholstered as the sand and water in
which it stood over night played havoc
with it.-Nashua Independent.

ONE CHANGE
IN PESONNEL
Christian County Board Of Ed
ucatiOn Elected For The
Ensuing Year.

Supt. L. E. Foster has been busy
the past few days organizing the Dr.
vision Boards of the County. He
met two Divisions Friday, one at
sinking Fork and one at the Lantrip
school.
The county is divided into eight
Educational Divisions and each d.
vision is divided into sub-districts.
Once each year in compliance with the
laws these sub. district trustees meet
and elect chairman and this chair
man becomes a member of the Coun-
ty Board of Education.
The trustees have again exercised
good judgment in re-electing the old
board, for this board holds the same
relation to the school work as the
Fiscal Court does to. the affairs of
the county. 1t usually takes new
man on the board about one year to
learn his duties and become useful
and frequent changes would be det-
rimental to the interests of the
schools.
There was but one change in the
board this time, viz: John r. Mar
guess was elected instead of l.. M.
Hill, who has served for the past
year. Mr.. Marques was replaced
by Mr.. Hill last year but now he
comes back again.
