the Mecca of the hunters and the ac-
commodations at the lake have been
enlarged to take care of all those
who may come there to hunt this fall.
The state authorities have been ad-
vised that the federal authorities in

three years it has been on the books

been made in Montana under its pro-

to Montana nimrods is that prohibit

Butler Bros, of Williston, made a
deal this week whereby they bought
the tailor shop and business of Shob-
brook, the Tailor on South Fifth
Street. The new firm has been in the
tailoring and French dry cleaning
business for years and thoroughly un-
derstand every phase of it.
The building will be slightly re-
modelled and will be equipped with the
newest tailoring and dry cleaning ap-
purtenances. A new process of
French dry cleaning will be installed

An expert in French dry cleaning will
look after the business.
Besides doing cleaning, dyeing and
tailoring, Butler Bros. will specialize
in the fur business for which they be-
lieve there is big field open here.
They will carry $1,000 worth OF

TWO MORE FAIR PREMIUMS

TWO MORE FAIR PREMIUMS
Two premiums hung up by local
firms at the Valley County Fair will
attract particular attention this year
and the farmers are in a most advan-
tageous position to compete for them
owing to the wonderful growth and
yield this season.
The johnson Farm Loan Company,
will award Ten Dollars in gold to the
farmer making the best display of
grains, grasses, seeds and root crops.
The prize ought to serve as an induce
ment to bring out big exhibit from
every farmer in Valley County and
the agricultural building will surely
be filled to capacity.
: For the best exhibit of sheaf grains
exhibited by any farmer, grown by
himself, the Western Realty Co., will
award first prize of ten dollars and
a second prize of five dollars. The
sheaves should measure five inches
through at point just below the
heads. Here is an opportunity to win
a handsome cash prize and show what
excellent grain crops have been grown
in the county this season. No farm
er should have any trouble in making
up an exhibit for this department.

Frank N. Utter, Judge of the Sew

BIG CROPS AROUND MALTA

Threshing is in full blast in the
vicinity of Malta and many good
yields have been reported. One of
the first farmers to finish threshing
winter wheat was Amos Kelly, six
miles east of Malta, who threshed
$40 bushels from ten acres of bench
land. This yield breaks all records
for non-irrieated wheat, which in this
instance was extra good-plump large
kernels, fully matured.
The II. G. Robinson and f. W. Hall
50 acre wheat field. less than a mile
from town has been exceptionally fine
and attracted great deal of atten-
ton during the growing season, but
now that the threehers are thru with
their work, the $3.50 bushels of splen-
did Turkey Red Wheat it yielded has
placed it in the linehght more than
ever, for the average yield of 48A
bushels to the acre is something eX-
ceptional for so large a tract even
from irrigated land.
It is estimated that there are 47,O0C
acres Of bumper crops being harvest
ed in the vicinity Of Malta.

MONTANA ROAD LAWS

While the drivers Of automobiles
usually receive the blame for prae-
tically all accidents which occur on
the road, yet in many cases the blame
is unjust. AS a rule automobiles
are careful and seek above all things
to avoid accident or danger. Speak
ing generally if the pedestrians were
careful and if drivers of vehicles
drawn by horses were as careful ard
considerate as the automobiles, the
number Of accidents would be reduc-
ed to the minimum.
The roads are by no means the rro
Qerty of the automobilists nor haVt
they any exclusive rights to the r0 is
although the great improvement Il
the roads Of America during tie pas
| few years have been due to the ear
nest endeavor, hard work ard influ
ence Of those interested in automobll
ing. But the automobiles have equa
rights on the roads with all otne
vehicles. The state law says: "WheI

vehicles meet the driver of each must
turn reasonably to the right of the
center of the highway so as to pass
without interference under the penal
ty of $25 for every, neglect to be re-
covered by the party injured. Any
vehicle of any kind, drawn by horses
or propelled by steam or gasoline or
any other power, overtaking vehicle
on the public highway, upon the party
desiring to pass giving warning to
the first vehicle of such desire the said
first vehicle shall make reasonable ef-
fort to give the second vehicle half
the road within which to pass" The
penalty is fine Of $25 or imprison-
ment for 60 days or both.
, There are several parts .of the law
however that the automobilists them
selves are violating continually. One
section of the statutes that no appar-
ent attention is given is that regard
ing speed. A heavy penalty is at
tached for violating this provision
and if an arrest or two were made it
might do some good. The provision
regarding this is as follows:
speed limit of automobiles and
motor vehicles. No automobile or
other vehicle shall be run on the pub
lie highway outside of the limits of
any city, fire district, or thickly set
tied or business part of town, at a
speed exceeding thirty miles an hour;
and no such vehicle shall be run on
any public way within the limits Of a
city, fire district or any thickly settled
or business part of a town at tate
exceeding eight miles an hour.
There is also a provision in regard
to travelling at night time. Lights
are required after a certain hour.

HUNTING STARTS WEDNESDAY

Wednesday morning, September 1st,
will see many sportsmen OF Valley
County hot-footing it for the haunts
Of the praiyie chicken, the grouse and
the sage hen. Guns, laid aside since
last year have been carefully clean
ed and polished in anticipation of the
excellent hunting to be had this fall.
Chicken hunting will commence
earlier in the eastern counties this
season than in the counties in the wes-
tern part of the state, the season
opening on September in ten of the
eastern counties and closing on Oc-
tober first and in the western coun-
ties, beginning on September 18th
and continuing until October 18th.
According to all reports received
from various parts of the county the
crop of prairie chickens will like all
other Valley County crops be a "bum-
per" and the hunter who does not get
the limit this season should have his
eyesight examined. The big grain
crops have proved boon to the fea-
thered tribe and they have grown fat
and plump.

BURGLARIES
AT HINSDALE
Harry Clark and Ed Prock Break
Into Business Places.
CAPTURED NEAR TAMPICO
Start Down River in Boat. Saw
Bars on Hinsdale Jail but Imme-
diately Recapturedl

Harry Clark and Ed Prock are in
the county Jail here charged with rob-
birg several places of business in
Hinsdale Monday night. Not con-
tent, evidently, with robbing one place
they visited three during their depre-
dations and put climax to their night
of crime by stealing boat and maxi
ing their getaway down the river.
The two must have watched their
opportunity to carry out their plan,
for no discovery was made Of the rob-
berries until the next morning. Clark
and Prock first broke into the 1mper-
ial Elevator and got a chisel which
they used to pry up the windows of
Ater's and Welton's saloons. They
robbed the cash registers of what
change had been left in them which
amounted in all, to only about $500,
and helped themselves to about doz-
en- bottles of whiskey and choice
wines. After getting what they must
have considered a sufficient supply OF
joy-water, they went to the river and
stole a boat belonging to Henry Ter
hart and started on a journey towards
Glasgow.
. When the robbery was discovered
Tuesday morning the .Sheriff's Office
was notified and Undersheriff Henry
]. Landre went up there to investi-
gate. He followed the men down the
river and after walking about four
miles. overlook them near Tamplco,
and brought them to Glasgow on the
skiddoo Tuesday evening.
Wednesday morning, the men were
taken back to Hinsdale by Landre
to be arraigned. At the hearing the
men pleaded "Not Guilty. and were
bound over and will be given pre-
liminary hearing Saturday, August
28th. Awaiting the arrival OF the
train back to Glasgow the men were
locked up in the Hinsdale calaboose
When the Jail was visited short time
after, both Clark and Prock were
missing. The bars on the Hinsdale
iail had been sawed off and the pri-
soners had flown.
After an exciting chase lasting few
minutes, Landre and Constable Ratch'
ford recaptured them, and they were
brought to Glasgow Wednesday night
and they now repose peacefully in the
county Jail, probably dreaming OF
their cargo of liquid refreshments
with which they had provided them
selves when they started on their voy'
age.

the victor however, aided by good sup
port and timely hits. He showed
Walter johnson form at times COM
pelling the Henpecks to swing in the
vacuum, and although he was touch
ed up for nine hits he kept them we'll
scattered.
The stars of the encounter were
Cadreau for the Married Men who in
four trips to the plate got two triples,
a double and walk. Herstrom, an
other Henpeck, put one over the left
field fence in the first inning. Nick
Hahn also played stellar game in
center field making some sensational
dives and leaps for the elusive sphere,
but without touching it. Tim Nacey
on second base showed that he had
not forgotten all that he ever knew
about baseball, but almost, and out of
five chances he only made four errors.
It could have been worse. Herb Carr
occupied the space on the diamond
between second and third and gave a
perfect imitation of how Charley
Chaplin would field a ground ball in
one of his attempts to ,ieIi Il ground
er. Herb was at bat three times and
helped to shorten the game Ivy not
getting a hit.
''Fielder's Choice" Knowles played
the right garden for the married men
and almost caught a fly ball. Buck
also showed his knowledge of inside
baseball when he was given base on
balls and by clever base running
crossed home plate after a double by
Nacey and Cadreau's triple.
Hunt and Bardill were the batting
stars of the Single men, Hunt getting
three hits in four times up and Bar
dill two out of three. Hunt also
showed class as a sprinter in the
center garden, chasing the three bag
gers of Cadreau.
Pagan wore the mask for the VIC
tors and his perfect fielding of high
fouls brought applause from the
stands.
Fred Fischl played right field for
the bachelors and wore baseball uni
form so as to be mistaken for a ball
player, but many saw through his
disguise. Fred made an almost per-
feet catch of fly. It would have
been perfect if he hadn't dropped it.
But the real star of the afternoon
was the pitcher for the single men
"Fink" Fischl, whose superb pitching
and majestic appearance when stand
ing on the mound ready to heave the
ball, brought forth many sighs from
the fair ones.
