BOY CHARGED WITH MURDER
ing Montana Rancher-State's
Evidence CircumstantiaI.

Red Lodge-A 15-year-old boy, Err
nest Arnold, of Bear Creek, a coal
camp seven miles east of here, has
been formally charged with the muir
der of Charles Steiner a bachelor
rancher whose frozen body was found
in coulee on his farm, 20 miles
southeast of here, on Jan. II. Although
the youth disclaims any knowledge of
the crime, the county authorities say
they have woven web about him.
The boy was arrested at the home of
his grandparents, who have farm ad-
joining the Steiner ranch. Steiner was
killed with 32 caliber rife. The boy
admitted that he had been hunting on
New Years day with a gun of that cali
Der which was found in the home of his
grandparents. Also pair of overshoes
were discovered in the cabin. These
shoes, the officials say, are the same
size of those whose tracks were found
around the body of Steiner
Another circumstance upon which
the county attorney relies is that
Steiner was in Bear Creek on New
Years day He made some purchases
and returned home in the afternoon.
The things he had bought were found
in his cabin unopened. This leads
the authorities to believe that Stein.
er was shot to death a short time af-
ter he had returned to his ranch. An
empty shell found a few feet from
Steiner's body is identical to some
shells loaned the boy by shepherd
or a day or two before New Years.

A MODERN DISCOVERY

The farmer will be proud to learn, that
in the search for the ideal beverage-ths
real thirst-quenching drink, with health
and sobriety in every glass, science has
been obliged to resort to the grain product
of the farm for its production. This new
beverage, now capturing the taste of the
without the addition of any matted cereal.
1t does not contain the alcohol found i4
grape juice, and hence can be handled and
sold by any drink dispenser or merchant
who keeps ice-for it must be served cold.
With no malt or alcohol, it follows that
this new drink, Golden Grain Juice, can
be sold in all communities where malts
and alcohols are forbidden. Any dealer
who wants to be first in giving his trade
this captivating beverage, should write at
once to Golden Grain Juice Company, P. o.

WARNS FARMERS

MONTANA EXPERIMENT STATION
AT BOHEMIAN GETS REPORTS
OF SERIOUS DAMAGE.
BUTLER LIFTS LIVESTOCK BAR
State Veterinarian Issues Order Per-
hitting Importation of Animals from

der Made in 1918.
Helena.

Reports are already coming to the
experiment station at Bozeman from
several sections of the state that the
army cutworm which caused serious
loss of winter wheat last year is again
doing damage. Reports of serious win
ter-killing of wheat are also coming to
u.s. Farmers are urged, therefore, to
examine their winter wheat fields at
once to see if the crop has been killed
out or is being destroyed.
Look very carefully in the grain
fields for plants that have been eaten
by worms and search for the small
worms from a half-inch to an inch in
length with the usual cutworm appear
ance. They are more easily found in
the late afternoon.
To distinguish between cutworm in
jury and winter-killing, it should be
borne in mind that winter-killing has
already been done and that cutworm
injury is just beginning. There should
be no difficulty in making certain of
the cause of the damage if individual
plants are closely examined. The
worms eat off the top of the plant,
while if killed by the severe winter,
the entire plant is there, but with
cred and dead.
To meet the cutworm difficulty and
keep the loss from this cause at a
minimum, the farmers should start at
once to carefully watch their fields
and keep this up till the danger from
the worms is passed.
