equally powerful class OF organized

SEES BERGER IDEA
IN RED OUTRAGE

I'VE know now what Victor Berger
meant when he urged bullets, not bal
lots, to change the form of govern
ment" declared Congressman john
son of Washington. in the House to-
day. when he called attention to the
assassination of four war veterans by
supposed i. W. WIS during the armis-
tice day parade at Centrslia, Wash.
in the face OF this outrage, these
murders, why should Congress still
truckle to these lswless labor leaders
and refuse to put in the pending rail-
at these organizations? demanded
Congressman Blanton OF Texas.
TT will be a sorry day for this
country when these assasins, dynamit-
ers, anarchists and socialists break
down the conservative leadership and
organization Of the Amey lean Fedora
ton OF Labor. Congressman Johnson
continued.
Telegram of Sympathy.

sent to Mayor Rogers OF Centralia:
Kindly express to the relatives and
friends OF those young men who were
assassinated in Centralia on Armis-
tice Day by the enemies OF the United
States Government my profound SYM
pathies.
History will record those heroes as
among the first to fall in an sttempt
at armed revolution against the
United States, and for which every
man who has been preaching syndi-
calism, communism and class hatred
is responsible. This is an attempt at
revolution, with bullets and rifles, that
these enemies of law and order have
been desiring for years past.
Reds Must Go.
I'VE OF the Pacific northwest have
long seen it coming; We have been

young men murdered. Their death
will arouse the loyal people OF the
United States as nothing else in years
has done. This country must be
purged of seditionists and revolution
lists TO the last one, and IL this means

the better"

FERGUS COUNTY WILL NOT
HOLD A FAIR THIS YEAR

Lewistown, July 12.-After talking
the matter over with the business men
and as many farmers as possible, the
county commissioners have decided to
abandon the plan of holding a county
fair here this year. There are sew
eral reasons for this decision, one be-
ing that the general crop situation
does not justify fair. The exhibits
would not be a creditable as they
should be and the people generally
are not in a position to meet the ex-
pense of putting ovr the fair with
the attendance that it should have.
Other conditions, too, are not favor
able for such an enterprise and the
commissioners were able to find just
one man who wanted to go ahead with
the plan.
The commissioners regretted taking
the step, but they are fully satisfied
that they are correctly interpreting
the general sentiment prevailing in
Fergus county in postponing the fair
for one year.

HARLEM STOCKMAN GETS
$4,000 FOR WOOL CLIP

Harlem, July 12-George Petrie
sold his wool clip the fore part Of the
week to Holloway, Jones & Donald
Of Boston and received 60 cents per
pound for his fleeces. When he weigh
ed up his clip he found that he had
more than $4,000 pounds and the buy
er presented him with check for
over $4,000. This is the largest
check that has ever been deposited in
any bank in Harlem by an individual.
1t is also the largest wool clip ever
sold in Harlem by an individual and
he received the highest price that has
ever been paid for wool in this sec
ton.
Mr.. Petrie states that has been a
very profitable year for the sheep
man owing to the fact that last win
ter was so mild and easy on feed and
the season was exceptionally favor
able for lambing. In addition to a
good crop of wool he also had the
best crop of lambs he has ever had.

HAVRE FIREMAN KILLED
WHEN BOILER BURSTS
Locomotive on Train No. 27 Blows Up
AS Result of Lack of
Water.

Havre, July 13.-The locomotive of
Great Northern train No. 27, the west
bound fast mail, blew up at Dunkirk,
10 miles from Shelby, this morning as
a result of lack of water at Chester.
Fireman Earl Dillon of Havre was
instantly killed and 12-year-old son
of Engineer William Ball, also of
Havre, died from terrible scalds as he
was brought into Havre on train No.
4, with the injured, to be taken to
hospitals.
Engineer Ball stuck to the throttle
and was probably fatally scalded.
John Darnell, another Havre engin-
eer, who runs the switching engine at
Cut Bank, who was deadheading west
with Ball, leaped from the exploding
locomotive and was seriously injured
The two engineers are at Sacred
Heart hospital, in precarious condi-
ton, neither expected to recover.
The tragedy was due to the absence
of water in the Chester tank. The sup
ply on the locomotive was very low,
but Ball decided to take chances by
running to Shelby and there replen-
ishing his tank.
As the train pulled out of Dunkirk,
the crown sheet, which had become
burned out, dropped and the explosion
followed.
- Train No. came along shortly af-
terward and took the dead and injur-
ed aboard and rushed for Havre.
Engineer Ball is one of the Oldest
engineers on the Great Northern, hav-
ing been running out of Havre for q
years. Fireman Dillon was also an
old employe. Both of the injured en-
ployes have families in Havre.
Another son of Ball was recently kill
led in Havre in a runaway.
Fireman Dillon leaves wife and
family.
