MANY PLANTING CORN
EARLY WHEAT COMING

j. M. Mus of Sand Creek, was in
town today. He says the greater
part of the seeding in his vicinity is
done and that the early sown wheat
fields are beginning to get green. A
large amount of corn will be plant
ed in that part of the country. Mr..
MUS himself expects to put in about
40 acres.
The editor has made it practice
to ask about every farmer he talked
with this spring, "Do you intend to
put in some corn?" With two excep-
tions all answers have been in the
affirmative, the acreage ranging from
five to forty. In one or two instances
the objection to corn-raising was
made that the thistles make a growth
and go to seed after the corn is too
tall to cultivate, but others, that
were consulted, believe they can
overcome this difficulty and say that
raising corn is as good as summer
following the ground, and produces a
lot of feed besides.

WILL SUPERINTEND
The FR0ID SCHOOLS

Earl Y. Poore, for the past two
years principal of the Wolf Point
high school, has agreed on a contract
with the board of school trustees of
the Froid district. for the position of
superintendent. Mr.. Poore visited
Froid last Saturday and since his re-
turn has received a contract for his
signature.
Mr.. Poore is exceptionally well
equipped in point of education and
natural executive ability and the
Froid district is fortunate in secur-
ing him. He is active, alert and pro-
gressive in whatever he undertakes.
As an ex-service man he has been
prominent IN American Legion work

5 PERSONS BURN
in GASOLINE FIRE
MISTAKE OF MOTHER COSTS
I HER LIFE-FOUR CHILDREN
ALSO PERISH

Conrad, April Trapped in
their beds in a flame enveloped sec
ton house in the center of Conrad
early Tuesday morning four young
children of Section Foreman J. A.
Lambert were burned to death while
their mother sustained fatal burns
from which she died at 2 o'clock
p. m.
The fire which started about 6
a. M, followed an explosion when
Mrs. Lambert, preparatory to getting
breakfast, poured what she supposed
was kerosene, but which it is now be-
lieved was gasoline, into the kitchen
stove. The burst of flame enveloped
Mrs. Lambert, burning her clothing
off her and inficting terrible burns
about her body. In an instant the
whole house was in flames, but in
Lambert rushed upstairs and carried
out one of the children, three-year-
old boy.
3 Huddle Together
The father, who had been sleep
ing down stairs, came to the assis-
tance of his wife, but was unable to
save any of the children, although he
obtained ladder by means of which
he reached the window of the room
in which four of the children had
been sleeping. He succeeded in pull
ing their bed to the window, but
the children had gotten out of bed
and he could not reach them. The
oldest child, a boy of 13 escaped by
jumping from second story win
dow, but three other children, boy
of nine, girl of seven and girl of
five, were afterwards found huddled
together on the floor, wrapped in
bed clothes and badly charred.
Wee Babe Victim
A baby of six weeks, boy, which
was in bed on the ground floor,
was also burned to death. The char
red bodies of the four children were
recovered and removed to the Starr
rooms while the mother
was taken to the hospital where she
died
The family had resided in Conrad
about seven months, coming here
from Havre, where Mr.. Lambert had
been employed as a section foreman
by the Great Northern. Previous to
that time he had been located upon
a farm near Clifford.

LOCALS WIN TWO
CHESS GAMES BY WIRE

What is believed to have been the
first games of chess ever played by
wire in the state, were carried on
here Sunday evening between the
Wolf Point and Malta chess clubs.
Three members of the Wolf Point
club conducted the game for this
club, A. G. Clayton, j. E. Mcdonald
and L. M. Clayton. Wolf Point won
both games checkmating their OPP
ponents after % moves in the first
game and taking the second after 25
moves. DR.. Day, formerly of Wolf
Point, was one of the members of the
Malta club, but it was not learned
which members decided the moves
for the western club. L. M. Clayton
says that the local club feels that it
has right to set up a claim to state
championship until some ether club
defeats them.

WILLIAM FARNUM DUE
in new WESTERN PLAY

That popular idol of the screen,
William Farnum, is coming to the
Liberty theatre next Thursday and
Friday in his latest William Fox pro-
duction, "The Orphan" stirring
story written by Clarence E. Null
ford
In "The Orphan" Mr.. Farnum has
one of the most powerful roles of
his career, according to advance re-
ports. He RS cast as an outlaw hated
and feared more violently by the
cowpunchers than anyone known to
the little town of Ford's Station. 1t
is said that Mr.. Farnum puts tre-
mendous dash, vigor and fire into this
powerful story of the days of ban
dts and Indians and stagecoach
holdups.
Mr.. Farnum appears as The Or
phan, a victim Of misfortune and cir
who has been accused of
committing numerous crimes, the
worst Of which were not of his do
ing. Now he gains the friendship
of the Sheriff-who has gone out to
capture him - and subsequently
makes a new start in life after win
ming the love of a beautiful girl, is
told in the development of a plot
which, it is declared, never has been
by any in which Farnum
has figured on the screen.
The support includes the beauti-
full Louise Lovely, Henry ]. Hebert,
G. Raymond Nye, Olive White, Geo.
Nichols, Earl Grain, Harry DeVere,
Al. Fremont and Carrier Clark Ward.

ture.

WEST END INDIANS
RECEIVE $4,000

The Indians of this part of the
Fort Peck Reservation were today
paid $4,000, the per capita payment
$40.
The hitching racks have been linec
with saddle horses and teams ano
many cars were parked in the street
The stores have had busy day as
the Indians naturally run short OF
supplies, and when a day-day arrives
they lose no time in investing part
of their cash in food, clothing and
other necessities.
A growing tendency to deposit a
part of their money in the banks is
noticeable Superintendent Mossman
has used every effort to induce hab-
its of thrift and frugality. An anus
ing incident was observed in local
bank that indicates that in some
cases the Indian women are more in
clined to the saving habit than the
men. A little man, about the size of
"Mr. Jiggs," and his wife (consid-
erably less ferocious in appearance
than "Maggie") were cashlng their
checks and putting back some of it
for deposit. The Mrs. handed in what
she considered a safe and sane pro-
portion of hers and then took notice
of how much her spouse was saving.
She declared it to be too little and
with no lack of emphasis in her man
ner took two more tens from his
hands and showed them through
the wicket. The little husband, with
a characteristic "Jiggs" gesture of
resignation, tossed up his hands and
said, "washta" (all right.
The superintendent and his assis-
tants spent the day at the office of
sub-agent S. j. Kirk, making the pay
ments. Tomorrow they will go to
Frazer where payment of about S12,-
600 will be made to the Indians of
the west end of the reservation.
The Wolf Point stores attract con-
siderable Indian trade from both
east and west so that total of at
least. $4,000 will be spent or de-
posted here.

because the man who was in charge
