Black Eagle Beer Hall Pro-
prietOr Arrested on Charge
Of Selling Intoxicants.

A quantity Of "dago red' and a
bottle of moonshine were secured by
deputies from Sheriff Bob Gordon's of
flee when they raided the Little Chi
cago beer hall in Black Eagle Saturday
noon. Marion Antonich, said to be
the proprietor Of the hall, was placed
under arrest on the charge of selling
Intoxicating liquors. He was released
in the afternoon on furnishing $500
bail.
The raid was conducted on search
warrant Issued out of the court of
district Judge II. II. Ewing. Authori
ties learned Saturday morning that
something stronger than Volstead
permitted could be secured at the place
and acting on this information, Deputy
Sheriffs Jack Abrams, Fred Huotari
and Guy Palagi went and searched the
building. The liquor was found in back
of the bar. according to the officers
Antonich, who has been a resident of
Black Eagle for number of years, is
said to have admitted under the ques

TRUCK TO SIMMS
PROVES CHEAPEST
Storekeeper Abandons Use of
Railroad for Transporting
Goods Both Ways.

Transportation by railroad of mer-
chandise stock from Great Falls to the
Z. Is. kreutZer store at Simms and Of
farm produce from the store to Great
Falls dealers has wholly ceased. Com
parison of freight charges between the
two points with the cost Of overland
hauling caused the proprietor a short
time ago to purchase a truck, and the
resulting saving has made the truck a
fixture On the Great Falls -Simms
road. ......=
Mr.. Kreutzer transports all Of his
new stock from Great Falls wholesale
houses to his store in the truck, and
by finding a market here for produce
offered him by his customers he found
it possible to load his machine both
ways. The stores business keeps the
truck on the road at least half the
time. according to people famili If win
Mr.. Kreutzer's activities.
The saving in transportation costs is
said to be a very material item in the
stores business, and the increase in
the amount Of produce handled has
been likewise important. Simms is 20
miles from Great Falls. The truck
follows the graEs.led road from Great
Falls to Sun River, and the Sun
River Simms road the remainder Of
the distance. The proprietor is quoted
as saying that except for the improved
highway the hazard Of poor roads
would have been sufficient to prevent
him from purchasing the truck. Mr..
kreutzer was formerly associated in
Great Falls with the d. r. Edwards
Furniture Co.

LOVER OF JAIL
SPENDS NIGHT
IN OLD HAUNT
Henry Amonson, Once Noted
for Efforts to Break in,
Finds Old Cell Waiting.

Back in the Cascade county Jail
which he loved SO well a year ago
that he repeatedly declined to leave
it. Henry Amonson. formerly of Great
Falls, later Of Canada and even more
recently of the state insane asylum at
Warm Springs, spent several hours
Saturday night renewing old associa-
tons
Henry, year or so ago, enjoyed
several brief periods in the Cascade
county jail. Never was he officially
committed by any court His stays
were always pending trials which
freed him of charges of vagrancy
But the purlieus of the jail entranced
Henry to such an extent that he in
yariably begged for re-admission and
one night he was found nearly frozen
in a snowstorm, sitting determinedly
on the Jail steps.
Saturday night Henry was brought
to Great Falls by Canadian officers
who had apprehended him on his re-
lease from the Montana insane asy-
lum. He will continue with them this
morning to Prince Albert to face
charge of DESERVING his wife and fam
lily. Henry is AZ years old.

large mercantile establishment and
farm implement business.
Mr.. Hobbins and Mr.. Stephenson re-
port that the crop situation in that

adjacent to Belt there will be 100000
bushels of wheat marketed One
rancher reports $1,000 bushels Of
wheat harvested from 400 acres. and
there are reports Of much higher pro-
duction than this upon smaller tracts.
Anyhow, the harvest this year in that
territory is such as to lend great en-
to all of the business men
and ranchers
Mr.. Hobbins is secretary and treas
urer of this coal company. Mr..
Stephenson is vice president and G.
