Infant Left On Tracks Near
Snowden By Parents. Died
Soon After Being Found
LOCAL COUPLE Being SOUGHT
Suspicion Points Strongly to Parties
Who Left Here With Baby. The
Clothes of Child Identified
BY Local People.

A tiny bundle, containing "a two
months old baby was found lying be-
side the railroad track, about a mile
west of Snowden Friday afternoon. A
train crew on an extra going east
made the discovery, and they picked
up the baby and took it into Mondak.
The authorities were Immediately
notified but before help arrived the
tiny mite of humanity had passed
away. How long it had been lying on
the track is not known, but its death
undoubtedly resulted from exposure.
1t was not bruised in any manner.
so it could not have fallen from a
train, but had been put there by some
flend to slowly die. It was male
child about two months old.
News of the discovery reached the
city Monday, and the sheriff's office
was put on the trail of couple who
were apparently, from all indications.
the guilty persons.
Investigation of the facts revealed
that couple had left Glasgow on No.
4 Thursday night, bound for a rela-
tive's home. Before leaving they had
tried to leave the child with a NEIGH.
Dor, and even tried to get out of
town without taking it with them. The
child evidently was afflicted with an
inherited disease, and the parents did
not wish to take it home with them to
their parents. Their remark on board
ing the train was to the effect that
the child would not be with them when
they reached their destination.
Wednesday, Sheriff Jack Bennett of
Sheridan county was in the city, con-
ferring with the local authorities re.
garding the case. The child's clothes
were identified by the woman who
nursed it, and the descriptions tailed
exactly, so there is no doubt now as
to who the guilty parties are.
1t was also learned that the child
had been picked up about 12 hours
after it had been placed on the track.
The train on which the couple were
travelling had slow order while go
ing through where the baby was
found, and it would have been possible
for person to have gotten off, placed
the child on the ground and jumped
back on the train without any trouble.
Every effort is being made by the
authorities to locate the parents who
are guilty of the deed. While the
affair is under the jurisdiction of the
Sheridan officials, the local authori-
ties are leaving nothing undone to
bring the guilty parties to justice.
Owing to the fact that they have
not yet been apprehended, their names
will not be published. If they are
caught they will find the law will deal
with them in a fitting manner.

the draft act, were called for physi-
cal examination by the county draft
board on Tuesday. They will report
at a. m. on Monday, August 27, at

animation.
The calling'of these men was found
necessary by the local board, when
they found that of the 558 men ex-
amined in the first call, only 254 were
available for service, which was 25
short of the number required.

are eligible to canning contests. The
preliminary work is in charge of M.
j. Abbey, a member of the state col
.lege faculty and who is connected Of
ficially with the national government.
He will likewise have charge of the
boys who will come to the fair as
prize winners and who will camp in
military fashion at the fair grounds.
Miss Bess M. Rowe of Bozeman will
be in charge of the girls.
It is estimated that in the many
fairs of the country 20,0O0,00O peo-
pie will have the opportunity of view
ing the work of the 100000 boys and
girls who will join in the countrywide
propaganda. While the contests vary
in different states, Montana's con-
tests will be for raising corn and
potatoes, the canning of garden pro-
ducts, bread baking and pig raising.
In addition to lucrative individual
awards the trips to the state fair will
be added. Those who take the trips
will participate in the educative
events of the fair and will be under
the jurisdiction of the state fair food
training camp.
Secretary R. S. Skinner of the
State Fair is certain that the interest
in the state fair will be increased this
year because of the war, rather than
diminished. Herbert Hoover of
Washington has urged that all Ameri-
cans attend their state fairs as a pa
triotic and educative duty. With
more interest by parents it is GER
tain the juvenile activities will be
greatly increased.

firemen for Uncle Sans warships
passed through Glasgow, en- route to
the navy yards on the Atlantic coast.

SCHOOL STARTS
SEPTEMBER 4
Vacations Will Eex for Local
'Kids" Tuesday, - I. 4.
Many New Teachc
new COURSES OFFERED TO PUPILS
Agricultural and Normal Training
Departments Will Be Added to
High School Courses. New
Faculty is Announced.

Vacation days are drawing to a
close for the pupils of the Glasgow
public schools. On Tuesday, Septem-
ber 4, the schools will open for the
long winter grind, and the youth of
Valley county will assimilate learning
from capable corps of teachers.
Never before in the history of the
local schools will there be such a va
ried and attractive course of studies
as has been arranged for the coming
semester. New departments have
been added and the local high school
now ranks among the first in the
state in the list of courses offered for
instruction.
Superintendent D. S. Williams re-
turned Wednesday night from New
York, where he spent the summer
taking special courses at Columbia
University and getting in touch with
the latest educational ideas. He is
now busy with the preparations for
the opening of the fall term and ex-
poets the coming year to be the best
in the history of the city schools.
The departments of agriculture and
normal training will be offered to
high school students who desire spe-
cial instruction along these lines. The
agricultural course will be the same as
that at the university at Bozeman,
and under the supervision of Ray
Cannon, county agent, and graduate
of the state university, those who de-
sire a special training along this line
may obtain it while attending the
high school, without going to the ad-
ditional expense of going to the state
university.
The normal training course will be
started this fall if sufficient num-
ber of pupils can be induced to take
it. This course will embody practi-
cally the same system of instruction
that is followed by the state normal
schools and will prove a big benefit.
Anyone contemplating this course,
should inform Professor Williams of
the fact Immediately.
Following is a list of teachers for
the coming year:
D. S. Williams-Superintendent.
High School.
Miss Harriet Sweitzer - Acting
Principal.
Miss Mabel Miles-English.
Miss Lena Newton-History.
Miss Ethel Elliott-Mathemati
Miss Johanna Lind-Latin and Ger
man.

ture.
T. A. Leedham-Manual Training.

Miss Madeline Parker-First Grade
North Side School.
j. c. Lawton-Principal.
Miss Mae Lyon-Fourth and Fifth
Grades.
Miss Marie Molloy-Second and
Third Grades.
Miss Eloise Avery-First Grade.
In addition to the regular terms at
the high school, a farmers short
course may be offered during the
winter months. This should be
big drawing card for the farmers of
northeastern Montana who have no
opportunity to get in personal touch
with the extension experts of the
university and department of agricul-
ture.

At noon today Captain Gregg called
the attention of The Leader to the
end of Court street where it intersects
Banana street. The rock from Court
street, being abouta foot above Ban
ana street, is washing down and be-
ing ground into the asphalt paving of
Banana street, making this asphalt
look as if the rock foundation was
coming up from below. The Captain
suggested that with very little effort
or expense this high end of Court
street could be cut down to a level
with the other street and the rock and
sand thus removed used to pave the
street further up. Court street is a
beautiful street and with the removal
of just one tree could be paved, leav-
ing magnificent row Of large oaks
in the center.

A Magyar Comedy

Paris, August 28.-(Special CORE
spondence of the Slav Press Bureau.)
The Magyars of Hungary are, of
course, bitterly opposed to any cleo
toral reform in Hungary. In their
struggle against characterization they
found the most faithful allies among
the Germans of Hungary who alone
of the various nationalities are treat
ed as citizens. The leader of these
Hungarian Germans IS Mr.. Emil Neu-
geboren who, just before the dismissal
of Count Tisza as Hungarian premier,
published a very interesting article in
the Reichenberger Zeitung, in which
he reveals the duplicity. of the alleged
Magyar opposition to Austria and de-
clares that the national interest of the
Germans of Hungary, as well as that
of the Magyars, compels them to OPP
pose at any price the introduction of
universal suffrage, for the introduc-
ton of such suffrage would inevitably
result in the dissolution of the Hun
garian state a IS s+s4
"The Magyar opposition" he writes,
ais only playing comedy and does
not at all take seriously its agitation
| in favor of electoral reform, for no
Magyar can honestly desire equal and
universal suffrage for the inhabitants
of all nationalities of Hungary. Such
La reform would bring the Magyar
hegemony to an inevitable end, and
would give the Slovaks and Rumani-
ans majority in Hungary. The same
asothe Magyars, the Germans of Hum
gary have no more reason to wish for
radical electoral reform, knowing
the fact that only an actual aristocrat-
ic constitution-which. could be more
or less adapted to the exigencies Of
the time-can guarantee their nation
al existence"
Is When one returns to the subject OF
1.-The magyar opposition its attitude
towards democracy and peace, he mus
