CHIEF RAILROAD DETECTIVE

William J. Flynn, for more than 20
years In the United States secret serv-
Ice until his retirement as its chief at
the beginning of this year, has been
appointed by William G. McAdoo to be
head of the railroad administration
defective force, having jurisdiction
over all the railroads In the nation.
Except for six months In 1910-1911,
when Mr.. Flynn reorganized the de-
tective bureau of the New York police
department with the rank Of second
deputy police commissioner, his connec-
ton with the secret service had been
continuous from 1897 until last Jan
uary. He was appointed chief of the
service In 1912. which position he re-
signed because of friction between his
department and the department of JUS
tice.
Mr.. Flynn has a reputation as a
detector of crime which is more spec
tacular and involves more important
work than that of any other detective

IN FLANDERS FIELDS
"a Later Answer)
By u. p. Reed

ByAJ. P. Reed
In Flanders fields the cams are hushed
While earth and sky again are flushed
With carol of the lark In victor hands
The torch now burns, and freedom
stands
Amid the poppy blooms. The foe is
crushed
In Flanders fields.
You who threw in faith the flaming
brand
From dying grip to grip Of living
hand,-
You who caught it up and held it high
And swore the burning oath to do or
de-
You know at last no crosses vainly
stand
In Flanders fields.
The faith is kept-the oath redeemed;
And shell-torn earth, with chaos
scanned,
Did from the sleeping heroes gain
A priceless boon in hand and brain.
Sleep on beneath the poppy blooms
While nations bow before your tombs
In Flanders fields.

Patriotic Rally
Circle July 4th

Circle will celebrate the grand
and glorious 4th of July, that was
the result of a meeting held here
last Wednesday evening, by the
business men of Circle.
Although the doings this year
will not be as elaborate an affair
as was put on last year, it will be
well worth coming long ways to
attend. There will be a promin-
ent speaker who will address the
people, besides which there will be
races and sports of various kinds.
A committee consisting of ]. ].
O'Keefe, D. L. Eastburn and ]. ].
Moriarty was appointed to look
after the raising of funds and pre-
pairing the program. 1t was sug-
gested at the meeting that instead
of paying out cash for the prizes
this year, they would be paid IN
Thrift and War Savings Stamps,
thus helping the government at
the same time.
So far as is known, Circle is the
only place in this section that will
have any doings on July 4th this
year, and the news of a celebra-
ton here will no doubt be good
news to many who are unable to
go any long distances to spend the
day.

Happily Welded

Owing to the activity of Dan
Cupid, the Redwater Valley has
now lost two more of her well
known "bachelors". They are
Bert Waetzig of Horse creek and
Fred Anderson up Redwater who
last week entered onto the matri-
monial seas.
Bert Waetzig, or smiling Bert"
as he is commonly known, manag-
ed to induce a fair maiden to
come clear from N. Carolina to
share with him his happy home on
Horse creek for evermore. Her
name,is Effie Deal, and a most
charming young lady. The we'd
ding took place at Glendive last
week.
1t was indeed some surprise
when the news broke of the happy
union of Fred Anderson to Miss
Cleo Robbins, two popular young
people residing up Redwater.
Not telling a soul, they quietly
slipped down to Miles City and
there had the knot tied that for
ever binds them as man and wife.
The groom is a prominent
young farmer and one of many
who have made good in this sec
ton. He is a son of Mrs. Flora
Anderson and brother of Mrs. Dan
McCugh.
The bride is a most highly re-
spected and accomplished young
lady and has many friends. Re-
Gently she has taught the Dambly
school.
To the two young couple the
Banner extends hearty congratula-
ions.

Koontz Given 80 Days
Later Released

j. H. Koontz of Dirty creek was
arrested last week by Stock In.
spector ]. A. Miller and brought te
Circle, on charge of working a
range mare belonging to Chas.
Bell, a neighbor.
Mr.. Koontz was brought before
Justice Lowell of this place, before
whom he pleaded guilty to the
charge, and the Justice gave him
a sentence of 80 days in the county
Jail.
The mare in question we are
told had been turned out on the
range by Mr.. Bell, to foal, and un-
derstand Mr.. Koontz, claiming the
mare had been bothering around
his place considerable had taken
her up and worked her, which he
had no right to while mare was on
free range, and not belonging to
him.
Deputy Sheriff Johnson took
Mr.. Koontz to Glendive Monday |
and turned him over to the
authorities there. At Glendive
Mr.. Koontz was released on bail, |
and granted a new hearing which |
will be held soon.
This is the first case of this
nature that to our knowledge has
been brought into court in this sec
lion, and it is certain that farmers,
are entitled to some con-
sideration, as no one wants other
people to work their horses.
LATER Wednesday deputy Johnson
eceived word from Glendive to go and
,ring Koontz back to Glendive.

War Savings Stamp Drive

over the top" in the War Savings
| Stamp campaign on June 28th
On that day the people of Mon
tana will pledge the balance ol
Montana's quota of War Savings
Loan, which they may pay for in
six monthly installments. The
amount required to be pledged
for on that day will be about ST.
100000.
The above is the gist of the
State Director Harry w. Turner
has been perfecting the state and
various county organizations to
carry out.
The size of this undertaking
will be realized when one remem-
bers that no one person can
pledge to purchase more than
$1,000 worth of War Savings
Stamps (maturity value) and
many thousand of our people will
not be able to make the pledge
for anywhere near that amount.
Then members of pledges must
make up for the absence of large
amounts. Every man and woman
must do their duty on that day
and pledge their current savings
to the limit of their ability.
The State Director is confident
that Montana will make good, but
he wants it distinctly understood
that this is a real mans size Job, |
and must be put over by men and |
women, and not children alone,
of the state, and that rich and
poor alike must pledge the limit,
or as much of it as they can pos
sibly afford.
In relation to the War Savings
campaign, Secretary McAdoo says:
1T is essential that the American
people economic and save Ain
order to make available to their
government the money indispen-
sably needed for the war and re-
lease supplies and labor required
'or the military forces of the ma

The United Press is in position to
