ACCIDENTAL FALL
RESULTS IN DEATH
Aged Man, Unknown Except Name,
Breaks Neck In Fall to Bottom
of Basement Stairway.

A regretable accident occurred on
Thursday morning at about one o'clock
in the instantaneous death of man
known hereabouts as John Sherman.
While coming around the corner of
the Coleman hotel on Front street he
stepped into the open stairway leading
to the basement, on the west of the
building, falling to the bottom and
striking his head against the wall.
Papers in his pocket identified him
as John Sherman, Pablo, Montana.
A bank book and insurance papers of
the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co.,
Omaha, Nebraska, for whom he was
thought to have been writing insur-
ance. The Insurance company reports
that they have no policy holder by the
name of John Sherman in the State
of Montana and in fact have no record
as to the identy of such person. The
Farmers State bank of Pablo confirms
the identy as to the name but state
that there are no known relatives
around Pablo, nor does anyone there
know anything concerning the man.
A paid bill from the Missoula Mercan-
tile company was the only other paper
on his person.
A coroner's jury was called yester-
day afternoon and they decided that
Mr.. Sherman came to his death about
one o'clock the morning of September
goth; that the cause of death was a
broken neck resulting from an acci-
dental fall into an open stairway near
the street on the west of the Coleman
hotel; that from reports he was man
about II years of age; had no known
relatives; was accompanied at the time
by Bob Hayden, for many years a
resident of and around Glasgow; and
that the death was accidental in every
respect.

MEAT With KICK
FOR CHRISTMAS
l.. E. Wells Will Retail a Buffalo
Carcass-Old Timers Agog-Big
Time in Old Town Predicted.

Buffalo steaks for Christmas, how
is that?" said an old timer to the
Courier man this morning, in con-
nection with L. E. Wells stunt, in
purchasing for sale at retail to Glas-
gov patrons during the holidays.
Our informant tells US that the meat
will all be sold long in advance; there
are many here whose chief diet in the
early days consisted of this lucious
game, and they are eager now to taste
it once more, before Gabriel sounds
the last loud fire alarm. The old
boys who have used it say that aside
from being a great delicacy, it has
wonderful strengthening qualities; it
has almost as much fight in it as
home-brew and after a man has con-
sumed pound or two, he goes out
to clean up all unfinished business in
the way Of quarrels. 1t was the only
strength giving tonic that Geronimo
and Sitting Bull had, there being no
Tanlac in those days, and see what
they did; w. w. Mabee says that if
the Kaiser had fed his Huns on buff
falo steaks there would have been
nothing to it.
The meat being rather dynamic, as
it were, Mr.. Wells will limit the a.
mount sold to each customer, and he
will warn people about leaving it ly-
ing around, as the rats who eat it
would put on wind up of all the cats
in town, he says that he is afraid if
he gives people all they want, it will
make the town so tough the canary
birds will sing bass, and Sam Riggs
clerks will call in trade with a chorus
of Indian war whoop; city officials
might become so energetic that they
would move all the old frame build
ings, by hand. 1t is felt that if the
chief of police gets an over dose, he
will excavate for the swimming pool
with shovel, in order to keep himself
worked out. AS it is our leading citi-
zens will probably be lined up Christ
mas morning for a snake dance or
Main street.
The meat comes from the Scotty
Phillips herd, and cost $3.50 f. 0. b. II
will be on sale at the Glasgow Market
from December Is to December 20.

RED CROSS HOLDS
NATIONAL MEET
Montana Delegate Goes Through Glas-
gOw-Outline of PrOgram-Value
of Work to Soldiers.

Miss Lund, Montana delegate to the
Red Cross Convention at Columbus,
Ohio, passed through Glasgow last
Tuesday evening en- route east.
The program arranged for the con-
vention gives concrete evidence of the
wide range of subjects that will be
the themes of addresses of speakers
OF national and international promi-
nence. These include not only offic-
lals and others actively engaged in
Red Cross work, but public officials
and others outside the organization
who through their position have per-
sonal knowledge of the effectiveness
with which the American Red Cross
continues the discharge of the obli-
cations imposed upon it by it's Con-
gresional Charter.
The convention is primarily for the
Chapters, designed to give their loyal
workers an unprecedented oppor-
tunity for learning through contact
with each other and the officials of the
National organization more of the as
pirations of the society and the means
whereby these can be realized in every
community of the land. Be certain,
then, that your Chapter, your COM
munity, has it's representative at COL
umbus.
"To witness first hand the practical
application of the various phases of
the Red Cross program is to leave one
with no doubt of the expansion of the
work. The Chapter workers are ex-
pressing practically and convincingly
the idea of service that is insepara-
bly, linked with the symbol of the Red
Cross wherever it is seen.
GAS is true of the National organ
ization, the problem of the disabled
service man is foremost, and neces-
sarily so, in the minds of the Chapter
workers. National headquarters
thought of service for the disabled
men as for group, in the Chapter
the thought and the service are indi-
vidual. In connection with the clean
up campaign instituted by the Veter-
ans Bureau, the Red Cross Chapters
the American Legion and other civic
organizations are cooperating in the
effort to bring the claims of every dis.
abled man within this country to the
attention of the Government and will
be represented at the convention.

BANK BANDITS
Are CAPTURED
Quick Work by North Dakota Sheriff
Who Heard of Robbers HangOut
BY Accident.

or they had broken into the
H% >ad State bank of Homestead
Satu.A night or Sunday morning
and ma haul of $500, mostly in
Liberty b. .ds, two bank robbers were
apprehended on Tuesday of this week
in a cabin few miles outside of Will
liston by Sheriff Mackenroth Of Will
liams county, N. D., and several dep
uties. The robbers stole $50 in cash
and over $1,400 in Liberty bonds from
the bank.
The capture of the robbers was
really the result of an accident, ac-
cording to the Williams county sheriff
After they fled from Montana they
went to North Dakota and hid in a
cabin near Williston. Forced to seek
shelter because of storm, party of
hunters approached this cabin, only
to be advised by two men who sud-
denly appeared in the doorway that
they had better move move on and not
attempt to enter. The hunters had
heard of the bank robbery and when
they were told to keep away from the
cabin they made the deduction that
these might be the guilty parties and
went to Williston and notified the
Sheriff Mackenroth. With several
deputies, Mackenroth went to the ca.
bin and found only one of the rob.
bers at that time. When searched the
bonds and the cash were found in the
robbers clothes. The second bandit
was arrested later in the day on the
road leading to Williston.
The bank was robbed some time Sat
urday night or early Sunday morning
The door Of the vault was blown oper
and the safety deposit boxes rifled
The small amount Of cash and the Lib
erty bonds were taken from the boxes
and this apparently was loot enough
for the robbers, for they made no at
tempt to blow open the safe in tn,
vault.
The sheriff's office in Plentywoot
was notified of the robbery soon aftel
it was discovered and Under Sheriff
John Moran drove to Homestead Sun
day morning.

methods of listing the undeveloped IL
rigable lands in the valley were dis
cussed 1t was suggested by Mr..
Burks that a uniform option blank be
used and the length of the options be
made the same.
Land prices were discussed and the
concensus of opinion was that only
the low priced lands should be listed
The question of the apportionment
of the waters of the Milk and st.
Mary's rivers was also taken up. 1t
was suggested that in the even the
international Joint Commission should
reach a deadlock again that the execu-
tive board should propose a sub-com-
mittee of three from each country to
work out a plan of settlement that
would be satisfactory to both sides.
Such committees should submit their
proposed agreements to their respec-
tive governments for consideration.
F. NJ Burks of Chinook, l.. c. Ed

SAVOY were appointed on the resolu-
tions committee by the chairman.

acre to date of the lands under the
several divisions Of the project, viz;
All lands to be irrigated above the
Dodson Dam; all the lands to be irri-
gated between the Dodson Dam and

below the Nelson Reservoir to be sup
piled therefrom. That an estimate be
given of the additional construction
cost per acre for the completion Of
the project. Also comparative state

SEED LOANS TO
BE COLLECTED
Except in Cases Where Cr.
Again Failed. g..

w. B. Wharburton, who has charge
of Federal Seel loans and who was in
Glasgow attending the county agents
meeting, calls attention to the fol-
lowing rules regarding the payment
Of seed loans.
"As the crops are covered by liens
in favor of the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, the purchasers of the crops
should remit to the Department of
Agriculture the proceeds of sales up
to the amount Of the indebtedness due
to the Department, including inter-
est at five per cent per annuum from
the date of settlement, unless the
seller shall show written permission
from the Secretary of Agriculture to
defer payment on his loan.
Remittance should be made in bank
draft or other usual commercial paper,
payable to the Disbursing Clerk, De-
partment of Agriculture, and should
be mailed to the Seed Loan Office
Federal Building, Grand Forks, N. D.
On receipt of the remittance, salts
faction of mortgage will be executed
and mailed to borrower. Remittances
should be accompanied by a statement
of file number, name, and address OF
borrower for whom remittance is
made.
Borrowers whose crops average
five bushels per acre, or less, Of
wheat, or the financial equivalent ir
other crops, may obtain permission
to defer payment Of the entire amount
of the loan. When suuch permission
is obtained, the lien in favor of the
Secretary of Agriculture on the 1921
crop will not be enforced and the Dor
rover may retain all of the crop fol
seed, or the proceeds thereof, if it b.
sold, for use in the purchase of necees
saries for his family. A borrower
whose crop averages more than fiv'
bushels per acre Of wheat, or the fl
nancial equivalent in other crops, mus
devote as much of the excess as ma.
be necessary to pay the Government
loan in full, including interest at fiv'
per centum per annum. To illustrate
If borrowers total crop on 100 acre
amounts to 542 bushels he must sci
AZ bushels and devote the proceed
to the purpose mentioned. Should an
other borrower on the same acreag
obtain crop of 600 bushels, he woul'
be required to sell 100 bushels and pa,
the proceeds on his loan."
