MEXICAN HANGED
At BILLINGS TODAY
MURDERER OF POLICEMAN MEL
son PAYS EXTREME PEN
Atty FOR CRIME

BILLINGS, MOnt-Juan Callae, who
der in this city December Is, last, of
Patrolman Enos Nelson, Was the third
man, so far as records show, to be
hanged in Yellowstone county, and the
second one to be legally executed.
William Brooks, a negro was legally
executed here in 1898 for the murder
of his wife, and a tramp, whose name
was never learned, was lynched here
in 1890 for killing a bartender.
In accordance with evidence intro
duced by the state at his trial, Callae
lay in wait for the officer in an alley
bartender of saloon, and the police
man had been called. He was cap
tured two hours after the killing, after
he had received two charges of shot
in the abdomen in a battle with the
police.
Callae admitted having fired twice
at some man" when the latter dp-
preached him in the alley, but said he
had been fired upon first. The po
licemans gun, still in its scabbard,
was introduced in evidence to contro-
vert this.
The death penalty was fixed by the
jury which found Callae guilty of first
degree murder after which District
Judge Taylor passed sentence and fix
ed the date of the execution.
Corporal William " Nessly, son of
J. E. Nessly, of Moscow, who was in
charge of the army recruiting station
at Billings last December, assisted in
arresting Callae, who is Mexican,
and helped guard the Jail to prevent
him being lynched. Corporal Nessly
says the murder was one of the most
cold blooded and brutal ever commit
ed in Billings and feeling against the
was intense

Moscow school pupils will be re-
quired to salute the flag and obey the
rules for showing respect to national
emblems. Any infringement of these
rules will be cause for discipline, the
board holding that patriotism should
be taught in the schools and the chill
dren should be instructed along this
line.
Superintendent J. H. Rich reported
80 more pupils were enrolled than a
year ago. Owing to the labor short
age it was decided, after discussion
by the board, to dispense with the
usual spring vacation. This will per-
nit the closing of the schools little
earlier in May. The board held very
busy session and much routine busi-
ness was transacted.

FIRST TEAMS REACH
MOSCOW TONIGHT

campus, will arrive in Moscow this
evening, according to wired informa-
tion received this morning by Coach
w. c. Bleamaster.
Both Twin Falls and Post Falls are
considered definite championship pos
sibilities. The former aggregation has

afternoon and will reach Moscow at
5 p. m. tomorrow. The capital city
five is known as a sensational scoring
aggregation. Wyman and Reynolds,
Boise forwards. have averaged IL and
7 baskets to the contest respectively,
while Cooley, center has mean rec
ord of four and half field goals to the
game
There is said to be some doubt as
to whether or not the Aberdeen team
will participate in the tournament. No
definite word has yet been received
from the Aberdeen coach and it is
thought possible that the Blackfoot
section will be without representa-
tive.
The announcement has been made

will be picked by committee COM
posed of Coaches w. G. Bleamaster and

BOYS WANTED
To ENROLL FOR
WORK ON FARMS
POSTMASTER MORGAREIDGE is
ASKED TO ENROLL MOSCOW
BOYS FOR WORK
Government CALLS YOU
BOYS BETWEEN is AND 21 YEARS
OLD MAY ENROLL FOR THIS
LINE OF WORK

Uncle Sam needs every one in some
capacity and he is forming boys
working reserve and wants every boy
in Moscow who is eligible to join
this organization. Postmaster Nor
gareidge today received the blanks
and the information necessary to form
this organization and wants the boys
of Moscow to enroll in it. The ex-
planatory information that accom-
panied the supplies sets forth the pur-
poses and duties of the organization.
The United States Boys Working
Reserve was formed for the purpose
OF establishing reserve of labor for
farm and other work from which may
be drawn workers ordinarily not avail
able between the ages of 16 and 21 to
meet an emergent shortage of labor
in the present crisis. 1t is intended
that the reserve operate with and
through recognized state organiza-
tions and coordinate all such organiza-
tions so that the mobilization and dis
tribution Of labor may yield the great
est obtainable benefit to the nation.
1t seems desirable that the various
state, county, municipal and boy or
ganizations which are accomplishing
such excellent results in similar en-
deavor be unified with federal activi-
ties so that their power for national
service may be safely increased. In
order that the physical and moral
welfare of our boys may be safe
guarded the reserve will work to es-
tablish uniformly the high standards
set by many state and voluntary or
ganizations. 1t is hoped also that the
awarding of a federal badge to the
boy worker in such organizations may
be an additional incentive to patriotic
and loyal service, making the boy feel !
that he is part of a great national !
body working individually for the
United States of America.
Eligibility for Membership
Any boy who is 16 year of age at |
his latest birthday and who is less
than 21 may enroll in the reserve,
provided:
(D That he obtain the consent in
writing of his parent or guardian and /
if employed, the consent of his en-
ployer, for the term of the boys in
tended vacation.
(2) He must be free from commune
cable or other diseases, and possess
no inherent weakness so as to unfit
him for the rigors of farm labor or
his intended occupation, as attested
by a physician or physical director.
(3) He must subscribe to the follow
ing oath of allegiance before an enrol
ling officer. Any person designated
by the state or a recognized, affiliated
boy organization is deemed an enrol
ling officer.
