known as the Countess's most favored
hostess. Mrs. F. W. Vanderbilt finally won
this distinction, and Mrs. Vanderbilt be-

Every countess has past-so every one

mysteriously fascinating. The young heirs

one. they said, who could firt so delight
fully as Anna Marie could have come by
that talent spontaneously.
So. no one was surprised when il be-
came known that the reason the pretty
Countess came to America was to escape
from the Baron Naga&ouch Mogabgab. the
lord Of vast estates in southern Bohemia,
which he ruled with all the austerity Of
the old-time feudal barons, of which he
was a direct descendant. The father of
the Countess and the father of the Baron
had arranged their marriage. so the story
went when both were infants. The
Countess accepted her destiny when she
became old enough to understand, and con-
sidered herself the future ruler of the
Baron's feudal estate.
Meantime she attended court in Vienna,
learned how to firt and otherwise enjoy
the prerogatives of a semi-royaI countess.
Then. one day, the Baron Nagagouch be-

taken in the young and

CROWDED auto DROPS
FROM TOP OF VIADUCT
Party of Five in Hudson Six
Drop Twenty-Five Feet. All
Miraculously Escape.

Some of the hair raising auto dives
shown in moving pictures had moth
ing on the stunt that was pulled off by
a party of Glasgow autoists last
Thursday night when a car crowded
with occupants dived off backwards
from near the top of the Great North
ern viaduct. The car, a big Super-Six
Hudson, owned by Leo Hurry, was in
charge of Miss Ethel Lezie, who had
in the car with her Mrs. Chester
Grace and baby, Miss Helen Baer,
Donald Pippenger and Ray Cannon.
In trying to make the viaduct on high
Miss Lezie killed her engine and in
attempting to start it again the brakes
jammed and the car got beyond con-
troll and crashed through the railing
landing with the front end of the
car almost straight in the air and
leaning against convenient telephone
pole.
While the entire party was badly
shaken up and Mrs. Grace has shoul-
der dislocated. No one was seriously
hurt and at the present writing all
are up and around apparently none
the worse for the accident. The lit
tie Grace baby, while apparently much
surprised by the accident, was not
scratched.
The viaduct is a dangerous place to
drive for any but an experienced driv-
er and the wonder is that there have
not been many more accidents there.

American relatives writing to sol

Clark, United States army postal
agent in France:
France, February II, 1918.
My attention has been called to
innumerable letters in the statis-
tical division which clerks were
unable to properly direct owing to
the fact that the senders of these
letters did not have the full name
of the person for whom the let
ters were intended spelled out in
full. In some instances addresses
were written with soft lead pen

illegible.

VALLEY COUNTY WILL
RECEIVE ONLY $4,000
State Council Advises That
Funds Have Been Apportioned.
No More Money Available.

The Valley County Council of De-
fense received word yesterday to the
effect that it would be impossible for
the state to furnish this county with
the additional $4,000 that has been
requested. This report coming at this
time leaves the county council in a
very difficult situation as it will be
impossible to take care of any thing
like the amount of applications that
will come in with this amount.
When the council was at Helena last
week they are practically assured of
an additional $4,000, and the report
that they were not to get it came as
distinct surprise.
Every effort is being made to have
the state council reconsider their ac-
tion in the matter as thousands of
acres Of land will be left uncropped in
this county this spring unless means
are furnished to supply the farmers
with seed.

NIGHT FIRE DESTROYS
TRIANGLE BAKERY
Building and Contents Practic-
ally a Total Loss. Fine Work
Done by Fire Department.

A fire which broke out in the rear
rooms of the Triangle bakery about
one o'clock Sunday morning prac-
ticany destroyed the building and
badly damaged the entire contents.
The fire department arrived on the
scene few minutes after the alarm
was turned in by Night Marshall Jer-
row and in a few minutes it appeared
that they had the fire under control.
The building was an old frame affair
however and the fire had eaten in be-
tween the walls making it necessary
to practically wreck the building in
order to get the fire under control.
The building is owned by J. w.
Wedum who expects to remodel it in
to a one story structure. The bakery
supplies, which were damaged in the
amount Of 81 900 or $4,000 were owned
by DISCARD & Mccormick, and were
partially covered by insurance.
Fire in the rear of the w. B. Klee
tailoring establishment did consider
able damage to the clothing and
household furniture of the Klee FAM
lily Monday morning. Prompt action
by the fire department saved the
building and contents of the tailor
shop.
In both of these fires the Glasgow
fire department did splendid work and
demonstrated that Glasgow's fire de-
partment is reality.

YOUNG GIRL ARRESTED
FOR PULLING FIRE BOXES
Sends in Two Alarms in One
Afternoon Just to See the
Department Go.

Two false fire alarms in succession
from the north side Wednesday after
noon, put d. Hall, chief of the Glas-
gov fire department, right on the
fight and he insisted that the mis-
creants be brought to justice. Chief
of Police Baynham after a thorough
investigation traced the fake calls to
q ten year old girl on the north side.
She was arrested and on being brought
before Police Magistrate Beverly was
fined $4,000 and severely lectured.
Children should be particularly
cautioned against fooling with the fire
boxes. A false run costs the city a
considerable sum of money and in ad-
dition to this run for fire always in
ours a certain amount of danger, both
to the firemen and pedestrians on the
streets.

It has been rumored that several

presumed that trains 3 and 4 will be

that practically all local service will
be discontinued in line with the policy
of the director of railroads to cut
down operating expenses and save
fuel.
