500 Voters in the
|Cut Bank Unit

The registration lists for the
coming primary have been
completed and Cut Bank is the
third largest precinct in the
county, with an even six hun
dred votes. Conrad has the
largest vote in the county, with
$50 votes, and Choteau has 672
votes, so it can be seen that
neither of the larger precincts
leads Cut Bank by many votes,
of the 600 Cut Bank voters re-
gistered, 210 are woman voters
and the proportion is about the
same all over the county.
Not nearly all the qualified
voters in the Cut Bank political
division have registered. II
is probable that there will be a
much larger registration for the
general election, as there will
be great deal more interest in
the outcome of the general
election.
Tomorrow is the final day fol
candidates to file for office be-
fore the primary election. the
list of county aspirants already
is large but it is quite probable
that a number of others will
file at the eleventh hour.

Davis Says Our Ben Cap Was i:
Prospect is Best t.Fine Form Sunda,

Ben Caps pitching was the
feature of the one-sided session
between Cut Bank and Brown
ing last Sunday afternoon. Ben
came in from the north country
with the scent of new-mown
hay on his clothes and shut out
the Reservation artists, 8 to 0.
Ben moved the bewildered
batters down with the same
nonchalance that he would en-
ploy in cutting down a field of
Russian thistles and his support
was splendid. The local players
are developing great team work
and the backing given the
battery Sunday was as smooth
ly as a sewing machine. The
result was more than a little
surprise party to the Browning
players and fans. They spent
the remainder of the afternoon
figuring out just how it happen
ed.
After the first contest was
concluded hyphenated team,
composed of players of Brow
ming and Cut Bank defeated
the Williams team is a listless
and one-way contest. Four of
Williams best players were not
with the team and it's crippled
condition was quite apparent at
all times. The Hyphenates
dubbed the heart out of the
Williams HEAVIER and ran bases
at their sweet will. Williams
has challenged Cut Bank to
meet it's regular" team for a
game at Williams at a date in
the near future. Sundays
games were witnessed by a
rather small delegation and the
management of the local team
hopes that next Sundays tour
nament will draw out a larger
attendance.

A DOuble-Header

Manager Carl Hawkins of
the local baseball champs has
scheduled two more games for
next Sunday-at 1890 forenoon
and 2::30 afternoon, with the
crack Devon team. The Devon
artists played in the Highline
League this season and came
within one of winning the
pennant. The home boys will
be out in good form to meet the
Devonites and the fans are in
high glee in anticipation of a
furious go" By the way.
local lovers of baseball should
accord the home team proper
support, since it has been
proven that they can 60 in and
win. The receipts last Sunday
were not nearlys efficient to pay
expenses. Here's hoping that
the attendance next Sunday
will be such as to encourage
the boys to keep up the Or
ganization.

Pay a
Fine for Their Fun

A cloud Of dust, several
pedestrians beating it for the
sidewalks, dead dog, COL
lision with another car and the
narrow escape of the occupant
thereof. These were the ex-
citing settings in the wake of
an amateur Barney Oldfield
and three pals, all lit up with
the nectar of Lower Broadway,
Tuesday afternoon. The driv-
er of the racing car was Ray
Kruger, his companions were A.
r. Davenport and Harry
Behringer and the speedway
was Main street. The car
raced past the First National at
a sixty-an-hour gait, gained
time opposite the Teton and at
this point hit a valuable cattle
dog belonging to Jake William
son and laid it low. Jake
narrowly escaped being run
down. Near the Cut Bank
hotel the Kruger car hit the
front end of Austin Miller's
Overland putting several bad
dents in it and nearly tipping it
on it's side. The badly battered
racing car stopped in front of
the Cut Bank, the occupants
were taken therefrom and
lodged in the town bastile.
Next morning the speedbugs
were escorted to the chambers
of Judge Thomas, who taxed
them $50 each for their merri-
ment. Jake Williamson has
begun suit for the loss of his
dog and Austin Miller has a
repair bill to present to Kruger.

Agriculturist Davis was a
visitor in Cut Bank Saturday
and before returning to Choteau
made trip through the COM
munity to examine the growing
crops. II recently returned
from a trip to Moccayin, in the
Judith, and visited other points
in that famed grain region, but
must say that the outlook this
year is not the best in that part
of the state. My son recently
returned from Bozeman and re-
ports that the southern part of
the state is not showing up very
well, either. The grain crops
of the northern portion of the
state are far better than in any
other part, as far as | have OBJ
served and my private opinion
is that the northern section will
prove to be the best grain zone
in the state. l have seen no
better stand of flax anywhere
than here in the Cut Bank
section and consider the flax
here practically out of danger"
Mr.. Davis stated that it was
his plan to hold a two-day
farmers short course at Cut
Bank early in the coming win
ter. He also suggested an
agricultural street fair for Cut
Bank this autumn, declaring
that the idea had worked out
very successfully in other
Montana towns last year. The
idea is worth the consideration
of Cut Bank farmers and
business men.

A "Whopper"

A heavy doWnrour Tuesday
evening, continuing until We'd

great Joy by graingrowers, as
the excessive heat was having
a bad effect on maturing crops.
The recent rain will greatly aid
late grain and aid the earlier
grain in maturing. Crop con-

at this time and it favorable
conditions continue for four

Passenger train No. "A was

open switch a mile west of

morning. Engineer Al Ba-
ker was instantly killed. En-
gineer Davis of the second
engine of the double-header
was cut and burned but not
seriously hurt. The hremen
on b o t h engines escaped
with few injuries. Several
passengers were bruised and
shaken up but there were no
serious injuries among them.
When news of the wreck
reached Cut Bank a number
of autos loaded with people
went to the scene in desire
to render aid. The wreck is
one of the worst that ever
occurred on this section Of
the Great Northern.
The big double-header
train was running over two
hours late and was wheeling
down grade at a speed of
over fifty miles an hour,
trying to make the Ethridge

AT The Front

A letter from Theo. Ruetten,
from the front, near -Doaglas,
Ariz,, gives some interesting
items concerning doings in the
zone of hoslilities. The other
day the Montana BOYS were in
Ccuated for prevention of
typhoid and the after effects
were not pleasant. There is
little to break the monotony
but the occasional shooting of
a rash Mexican who tries to
sneak ammunition over the line.
Villas bandits are lowering not
far from American army head
quarters and the boys are rather
hoping that he will get gay
some day and start a fight.

their car off the track and
close it, but failed to do so.
No sooner had the heavy
train struck the switch than
the track on the washed-out
grade began to slide. The
first engine went over on its
side, the second engine
smashed its way over'it and
was battered almost out of
shape. The baggage car
rolled up onto the trucks Of
one of the engines and stood
with front end high in the
air. The day coach nosed
into the embankment and
remained upright. The
other coaches remained on
track. The track was torn
and twisted. Rails were
broken Gle eanly in two, huge
castings on the trucks were
twisted like straWs.
An engine was dispatched
from Cut Bank and brought

engineer and those injured.
Drs. Nelson and Neral and
a couple of physicians who
were passengers are caring
for the injured. Traffic over
the line was resumed about
3 o'clock today.
A number of Cut Bank
people were passengers on
the wrecked train.
A short distance east of
the scene of the wreck
there is a deep gully, over

The dead engineer was :

long been in railway service
and was very well known
and we'll liked by his rail
way coworkers and the
public generally.

it will pay him 500 per month for
the use of the ground. The associa-
ton will not pay that much.
Mr.. Carlisle recently came into
control over this piece of land
through Mrs. Carlisle, who was Civ
en- the lot by Col George NJ. Stude-
baker. 1t is a part OF the large
Studebaker estate, which is being
distributed among relatives without
waiting for the death Of it's owners.
Through his secretary, II. c. Ell
