HOMESTEADER LOSES Way
and PERISHES IN STORM
Severe Blizzard Reaps Another
Victim. Was Returning From
POstOffice

Emmett Averill, homesteader liv-
ing north of Barr, lost his life in the
severe blizzard which ragged on Satur-
day, February 3rd.
Travelling on skis he left his ranch
to go to the postoffice at Barr, and
arrived there, but returning home he
was caught in the storm which came
up, and becoming exhausted, finally
succumbed to the cold.
His neighbors noticed his absence
and few days ago some of them de-
cided that he must be lost and went
out to search for his body.
They followed the route he had
taken and came upon ski stuck in
a snow drift, and little farther on
they found the body, which they
brought into Hinsdale. An inquest
was held at Hinst.sse Thursday, and
the remains will be shipped to Michi-
gan for burial.

big dixie PLANNED TO
PREVENT SPRING FLOODS
Alderman Mcfarland and City
Engineer Working on Plans
to Stop Floods

To build a dixie around the low
parts of the city that would be
affected in case of a flood, is the plan
of Alderman Mcfarland who has been
working with City Manager C. E.
Blitman on the proposition for the
last few weeks.
The expense of building dixie from
the mouth of Cherry Creek around
the west and south parts of the city
would not make the project imprac-
tical and the saving to the property
owners in one year would more than
offset it.
AS soon as conditions permit, sur
vey will be made and approximate
estimates Of the cost will be presented
to the council. If the plan is taker
up, it will probably take the form Of
an improvement district, all propert!
affected bearing a part of the ex
pense.
If the dixie is built it will greatly
increase the value of property anc
real estate on the south side as the
danger of spring floods has been the
only drawback of recent years.

HAVRE LOSES IN GAME
With LOCAL TEAM
Hill County Lads Meet First De.
feat of Season in Strenuous
TuSsle

BY defeating the strongest team in
the northern part of the state the
basketball team Of the Glasgow high
school practically cinched the cham
pionship.
Havre came here with a reputation
of having cleaned up everything so
far this season. They had played
and defeated some of the strongest
teams of the state, and while they
expected to find the local team Tar
tar, they came confident of victory,
but departed with more wholesome
respect for the local athletes and
their basketball prowess.
The game was ''humdinger" in
every sense of the word. Both teams
fought for every point and while the
visitors outweighed the local boys,
this handicap was offset by the su-
perior speed of the winners.
Holland scored most of Glasgow's
points and played one of the best
games of his career. His free throws
practically won the game, as both
teams made the same number Of field
goals. Wall at center made Ling, the
lengthy Havre player look to his lau-
rels and more than once outplayed
him. Lebert and Richardson at
guard were fighting every minute and
broke up many Havre play. lllman
showed up well despite close guard
ing.
Brader was the individual star for
Havre, scoring most of the points and
getting in on almost every play.
The Havre Promoter gives the fol
lowing report of the game:
"Havre's winning streak was brok-
en- in the basketball game at Glasgow
last night when the Valley county
boys stole a march on them. When
the score was footed up it stood 81
to "a in favor of Glasgow.
According to the meager informa'
ton obtainable last night it was one
of those games in which it was nee
essary for a team to fight both the
opposing team and the opposing Of
ficials. This fact accounts for thu
score. Coach Chittick says that loca
supporters need feel no concern ove7

GROWTH OF CITY SEEN
IN LIGHT PLANT INCREASE
Demand for Electricity Will
Soon Exceed Supply Unless
Plant is Enlarged

At the meeting of the city council
Wednesday night, City Manager Bit
man in his monthly report showed by
figures taken from the light plant rec
ords that if the present demand for
electricity continues, it will not be
long before the light plant will be un-
able to handle the load.
From the records, the present plant
can hardly hope to supply the demand
for more than one year, if the services
increase 80 per cent as fast in the
future as they have in the past year.
Although the installation Of the
Diesel oil burning engine year ago
doubled the capacity of the plant, the
demand has increased with such rapid
ity since then that even if it were
possible to operate all three engines
at one time, assuming no accidents or
trouble of any kind, ASS H. P. would
be generated at full load, and since
the peak load is already 4O4, there is
only 81 H. F. to spare. These fig
ures are based on no water being
pumped on peak load. If fire should
break out and make it necessary to
operate the pumps, the overload
would be so great that it would prob
ably be necessary to put part of the
city in darkness.
The increase has been little bet
ter than 100 H. P. per year and the
plant would be forced to operate at
an overload of from 20 to 25 per cent
if the engines are kept in repair con-
stantly so as to get the maximum
efficiency out of them.

TWO WANT COMMISSIONER
JOB IN PHILLIPS COUNTY

At the present time Phillips county
is we'll supplied with county comis-
sioners. If all who claim to hold that
office are entitled to it, the neighbor-
ing county has four perfectly good
county dads.
At the last election C. S. Hoverson
was elected county commissioner fol-
two years. Harry Whitcomb also con-
tended that he held over for the same
office, and although Hoverson demand
ed his seat and qualified, Whitcomt
still sits on the board. The case will

FIND BODY OF
MISSING MAN
Searching Party Comes Upon
Remains of Lost Home
Steader
BECAME EXHAUSTED IN SEVERE STORM
Neighbors Thought He Was Visiting
in Iowa and Did Not Start Search.
Team Had Been Turned
Loose

The body of Emil Anderson, the
Fort Peck homesteader who had been
missing since the week before Christ
mas, was found Thursday afternoon
by searching party, north of Os-
wego.
Since Anderson left his homestead
on the reservation to visit neigh
bor last December, there had been no
trace of him, and his friends and
relatives feared that he had perished
in a big snow storm which struck
this part of the country on December
18th.
After finding the body the party,
which consisted of Fred Herting, Scott
Hart, Julius Tuel and w. G. Ander-
son, brother of the deceased, came
to Glasgow and notified Coroner C. E.
Peterson.
According to Fred Herting, a
neighbor of the deceased, Emil Ander-
son left home about a week before
Christmas to go over to the ranch
of Carl Anderson, about sixteen miles
away. He borrowed a buggy from
another neighbor and started out, and
it is believed by those who know the
circumstances, that he became lost
in the severe storm on the 18th OF
December and perished.
Before he left he told Mr.. Herting
that he might go to his old home ir
Iowa before returning, and he ac.
counted for his prolonged absence ir
this manner. However, no wore
coming from Anderson, Herting be-
came alarmed and started to investi
gate. About week ago he located
the horses which had been picked ul
by farmer north of Frazer, and the1
the search was made for the bugg!
and the body.
About week ago Herting advised
Anderson's folks in Iowa of the cir
cumstances, having secured their ad
dress from a letter which had come
for the missing man. W. q. Ander
son, a brother, and julius Tuel, 6
brother-in-law, came out and were il
the party that found the body.
The party had received informa
ton as to the location of the buggy
in Oswego, and finding this, they be
gan to search for the body, which
they found about five rods away. Two
blankets were found under the body
and it is thought that Anderson, be
coming exhausted, lay down in th'
snow and going to sleep, perished.
The body will be brought to Glas
gov and shipped to Milford, Iowa, TO-
burial

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM MAY
SOON BE A REALITY

The matter of installing fire
alarm system was taken up with the
city council Wednesday night, by the
department officials, and it is the
present plan, according to Chief Dug
Hall, to raise the money to pay for
the installation of the new system, by
popular subscription.
The present method of alarms is
very inadequate, as was shown in the
fire Saturday night when the fire
whistle could only be heard in small
part of the town.

DEEP MYSTERY SHROUDS
LETTER TO COUNTY BOARD
Commissioners Strike a Snag
When Applicant for Job
Writes Personal Letter

What might have been a Black
Hand warning was received by the
County Commissioners last week.
The first glance at the missive might
have led one to believe that Chair
man Peter was marked man, fol-
lowing the recent attacks of a certain
newspaper on his administrative
ability. But further perusal showed
that it was only one of the many let
ters with which the Commissioners
have to deal regarding minor ap-
pointments and which go to make
their lot a happy one indeed. The
letter was written in longhand, and
was held first one way and then the
other, and finally was deciphered.
Old Sleuth Puck was told to be on the
alert, but even his master mind may
fail in this emergency.
The letter as finally interpreted fol-
lows:
~ am entanding to try to be apoint-
ed for Oseser of Road and I wood lik

Among the recommendations in the

WINS WAGER AND SAVES HOME
STEAD BY RECORD DRIVE
Tom Coleman made record drive
from his place to Opheim last week,
says the Baylor World and won a
forty dollar wager from the Stein
brothers who have claims near OPP
helm. The Stems had to be at OPP
helm by four-thirty o'clock on that
day or lose their homesteads, so the
story runs, and arriving at the Cole
man house, they made a deal with
Tom to take them to their destina-
ton. If Tom made the trip before
four-thirty the Stems were to pay
him forty dollars; if he failed to get
them there by the specified time he
was to pay them twenty dollars and
charge them nothing for the trip. He
left his place about 10 o'clock, arriv-
ing in Baylor shortly after twelve.
Here he changed horses and left at
2:2O for Opheim reaching there with
time to spare. This run is accepted
as a record for a team over such
roads at this time of the year.
