WALKER BUYS INTEREST
IN NORTH SIDE GROF

A change in the North Side Gro
Gerry occurred last week when Melvin
A. Walker purchased half interest
from Leo Hurry. The firm name is
now Hurry & Walker.
The North Side Grocery is one of
the Oldest exclusive cash groceries
in the city and was originally launch
ed by c. O. Lezie. Some years after,
Leo Hurry purchased half interest
and the business was conducted by
Lezie and Hurry until 1917 when the
former retired to enter the mining
business in Colorado. During the
many years of it's existence as bus
mess institution in Glasgow it has
enjoyed very liberal patronage.
Melvin A. Walker is we'll known to
the citizens of this city, having beer
deputy county surveyor for a perioc
of years and for some time assistant
city manager.
Both Mr.. Hurry and Mr.. Walker are
enterprising young business men ane
no doubt will enjoy their share of the
grocery business of Glasgow.

WIRELESS SENT FROM
GLASGOW TO JORDAN
Local Wireless Station Flashes First
Radio Message in Northern
Montana.

The town of Jordan, 80 miles
from a railroad and about the same
distance from Miles City as from Glas-
gov, is now in direct communication
by wireless telegraphy from Glas-
gov. On Tuesday the first official
message was sent by Operator E. L.
Wharton, who installed his own plant.
The message was sent by E. L. Jones,
secretary of the Glasgow chamber of
commerce, to w. G. Ferguson, secre-
tary of the Miles City chamber of COM
cree. The message was sent to Jor-
dan and relayed on to Miles City. This
new line of communication to Jordan
will no doubt be welcomed by the peo-
pie there.

gov twenty years ago from Elbow
Lake, Mimi, and during the period
from 1900 to 1907 was employed by
the Lewis -Wedum company. Seeing
the opportunities for furniture and
undertaking establishment, Mr.. Peter
son launched the venture which has
since been his main occupation and
which, incidentally, has been the
means of furnishing him with smok-
ing tobacco and several bank accounts.
The business was opened in 1907 in
the Masonic building which had just
been erected, having been conducted
in the same location for about twenty
years.
In addition to the furniture busi-
ness, Charles E. Peterson is an under
taker and embalmer, and has a well
equipped establishment. He spent
two years studying embalming in the
embalming school and under a firm
Of licensed embalmers and undertak-
ers in Chicago.
Local history does not reveal when
Charley was not county coroner. The
only old timer having knowledge of
the number of terms he has served
died some ten years ago. 1t is in
the neighborhood of eight or seven
teen terms. 1t is suspected that he
was elected to the office several years
before his arrival. He exerts an un-
canny influence over the average vot-
er, probably because, more than any
other man in this locality, he is sc
close to death. Anyway, he gets the
votes.
Alfred N. Peterson, the retiring
member of the firm, is the senior ir
point of years. He came to Glasgow
in 1909 to become associated with hi:
brother. He has given out no definite
statement as to his future plans othel
than his intention to devote the great
er part of his time looking afer hi
various farming interests. The man!
friends of A. N. Peterson and famil.
will be glad to know that he contem
plates remaining in Glasgow.

past masters thought well buried in
the dead past were exposed to the
light of day and explanations were
made in defense.

FIRE BOYS QUENCH
AN IMPORTED BLAZE
Train No. .27 With Burning Coach on
Rear Makes Record Run to
Save U. S. Mail.

Train No. 27 came rushing into
Glasgow Saturday morning at ninety
miles an hour with a burning mail
coach on the rear. An alarm was sent
into the fire department before the
train was well into the yards and with
in a few seconds the fire truck was
playing a stream of water on the
blaze.
The fire was discovered at Whatley,
six miles from Glasgow. The train
crew Immediately uncoupled the other
coaches and ran the six miles into
Glasgow in four minutes, or about
ninety miles an hour. The fire had
gained considerable headway upon ar
rival here and it was some minutes
before the department could get it un-
der control.
The contents of the car consisted of
registered and other mail for points
in Washington, Japan and China. AS
the fire was confined for the most part
to the ceiling of the car, the mail was
not total loss. A very small share
of it was burned and most of the bal
ance water soaked.
The unusual sight of an itinerant
fire attracted a large crowd. One of
the local firemen informed the Cour-
ier that the local department had es-
tablished such a reputation for thor
oughness and promptness that fires
were being shipped in to them by
rail-

siding a few miles out of Wolf Point,
The engine and all the coaches as
far back as the diner left the track,
shaking up some of the passengers
more or less severely but with no
serious results. The only ill conse-
quence was the delay and obstruction
of traffic for several hours.
1t is considered remarkable that
very little damage was done and no
injuries resulted.

Officials of the United States de-
artEent of justice assert that the most
widespread and menacing revolution
airy plot ever unearthed in this coun-
try was discovered when over 5,4S3
"Reds" together with their literature
and propaganda were gathered in.
The raids were the result of carefully
laid plans to get at every organiza-
tion and every headquarters of the
radicals. Over fifty cities in differ
ent industrial sections of the United
States were simultaneously given a
thorough housekeeping in search of
material for deportation.
According to information gathered
by federal agents in one of the sew
eraa raids, the radical leaders planned
to develop the recent steel and coal
strikes into general strike and ulti-
mately into revolution to overthrow
the government. Information describ-
ed as conclusive revealed that the pay
rolls had been "loaded" with agita-
tors to be sent suddenly to every fer
tile field in support of general strike
campaign.
During the last two weeks of the
coal strike, communist agitators pen
etrated practically every mining CEN
ter east of the Mississippi. Evidence
showed that in several instances where
miners had voted to return to work
the communists had spread their prop
uganda of distrust Of the government
to such an extent, it was said, that
few, if any miners actually got back
to their work.
Attempts to incite the mine work
ers to violence were the most bold in
West Virginia, officials said. But
all soft coal regions We're infested
and much of the data leading up to
the nationwide raids was gathered
by secret agents circulating among
the miners and coming in contact with
the agitators themselves, it is said.
The raids also disclosed that a
"slush fund" running into several mil
lion dollars had been set aside to be
used in bailing out adherents of the
doctrine in case of arrest for sedi-
tion or teaching of violence. In the
case Of the agitators who went among
the steel and mine workers, funds
for bail were made available in every
section frequented. 1t was evident
from the thoroughness of their plans
that the movement was "ripe" and
that the settlement of he coal strike
was keen DISAPPOINTMENT to the rad
ical leaders.
Assistant Attorney Garvan made
public recently the departments mem
orandum, submitted to the bureau of
immigration, upon which was based
the government classification of the
communist and communist labor par
ties as coming under the espionage
act. This disclosed that both groups
were pledged to fight any suggestion
of military action by America against
the soviet Russian government. Mem
bership applications revealed that both
groups were indirectly under the con-
troll of the Russian communist coun-
Gil.
Late figures received By Mr.. Gar
van showed that total of 2.635 aliens
were held with evidence which federal
agents believed was sufficient to war
rant deportation.
