HAVE A NARROW ESCAPE

and little son had narrow escape
Wednesday noon while trying to
cross the Mizpah near Olive. An au-
tomobile had preceded them over the
temporary crossing about 20 minutes
previous but in that time consid-
cradle head of water from a heavy
do"npour of rain sweled the creek
into torrent. Warren presumed
the crossing was still intact, but it
had washed away and he drove Off
into still deeper water. Standins
waste deep in water Warren was able
to assist his wife and son from the
car to higher ground. Over an hour
later Warren returned to the car
with others to pull it out when to
his amaZement he discovered the
creek had raised several feet and had
completely inundated the car. leav-
ing no trace of it. It was thought
probable the car would be washed
downstream some distance.

DECLINES TO Be "MUlzltO''
(Editorial.)

OF date the Home Protective League of Powder
River County through the secretary Of its central organization
Broadus solicited the cooperation of the Miles City
papers dscouraging the activities of the Nonparn league
The local secretary submitted the following article To the pub
fishers of both Miles City newspapers:
''Powder River County Home Protective League,
:.BHpa1us, Mont, June H. 1920.
Dear Sir:-Sone time ago the above organza-
ton formed in Broadus and has considerable
strength; during last meeting it decided that
write to the newspapernen of Miles City to il
they would cooperate with us in try ing to SUPPRESS
the activities of the Nonpartisan league, and the
that asking you is that you will refrain rom
publishing the speeches that tie different leaders and
organizers make. T u -
'We believe that the less that the people see and
read of their speeches the better for the community,
and the less notice they receive the it hurts the
egotism of their leaders and organizers and the Non
partisan league.
Hoping that you your way clear to help
lis, l am, Sincerely yours

The rebuff with which the Home Protective League met
anticipated The Miles City American made capital of
the communication by printing its front page under bar-
ing three column heading article the purpose Of which

tating itself with a certain organization.

the activities of the Nonartsan kindred leagues it
did ask for the suppression of their in the
OF speeches, ETC. Certainly the latter to be classified
news' items. Since the American has abectly refused
to be mzzed by denying the request Of the Home Protec
tive League of Powder River County may naturally expect
the American to accord the Nonpartsan and ote, kindred
socatlons publicity by printing such literature as may
be presented it, And along the lines of its annlzznc po
propaganda emanatng from the Reds under the Bosevie
