Republican Congress. with great gusto
and enthusiasm, cut that sum TO just
little more than half. The surgeon
general protested, saying that $4,000
600 was the minimum desired. not the
maximum. But the Republican leaders
evidently decided that those lads had
been coddled long enough. 80 the sur

Judging by the actions OF the Repub-
lican majority in Congress. VIC would
say that certain leaders in the Repub-
lican party are just about willing to
turn these lads out on tho streets.
They are OF no more service to America:
they arc broken men; thoy could never

publican majority, Judged by actions.

"DOUC'S" PICTURE BROKE
ALL MOVIE RECORDS

In the following letter to the presi
I lde5 Of the United Artists the mana
g@r of The capitol, the largest mo
tion picture theatre in the world, 10
Gated in New York City, gives the
figures of the greatest weeks busi.
ness yet achieved in the motion pic
ture business:
81 think perhaps you would like to
know that in the week just ended
with "Doug's" picture, "The Mark of
Zorro" all attendance records for
the motion picture industry for a
single week was smashed here. The
receipts were S48,10343 and atten-
dance was 94,501 persons.
"These figures are astonishing in
themselves and merely indicate what
is possible with a combination of this
great star, wonderful picture and
the theatre itself, and / think it mer-
tied my opinion that it is perhaps the
best thing that Doug" has ever
done. / heard nothing but praise
and praise and to the best of my
knowledge not one single complaint
or kick was registered during the en-
tire week.
This is record that the Capitol
is extremely proud of and | am sure
that Mr.. Fairbanks and the Big Four
Corporation will share with US in
our pride that in this theatre was es-
tablished a new attendance record
for motion pictures that only year
ago was undreamed of
"The Mark of Zorro" will be shown
at the Liberty theatre of this city on
June 16 and II.

AGENCY OFFICERS
CATCH KIDNAPPERS

S. J. Kirk, of the Indian agency
and B. T. Roth. Indian farmer Of
Poplar, returned Tuesday after sew
eral days spent trailing two kidnap.
pers of a 13-year old Indian girl
Mary Akers, who lived with her mo-
ther on the banks Of the Muddy near
Culbertson.
On the morning of June / she was
lured from her home by Tom Martell
and a man by the name of Goslan,
both Cree Indians. 1t is said that
Martell and the girl had planned to
be married in Canada Mr.. Kirk with
Mr.. Roth Started in pursuit and after
following trail that zigzagged
around considerable, finally located
the party about ten miles northeast
of Willow Bunch, Saskatchewan,
Canada. They had a full camping
outfit and four horses The girl was
dressed in mans overalls and had
mans hat on her head. She was un-
willing to return to the United States
without Martell.
The provincial police showed them
selves willing to assist Agent Kirk
and threw the kidnappers in the
guard house, and later deported them
across the Canadian boundary where
they were arrested by Mr.. Kirk and
brought back to Poplar. The men
will have to stand trial there.
Mr.. Kirk says that in many ways
the trip was a pleasant one, enabling
him to see quite bit of the country,
but that it was tiresome one. He
saw many fine fields of grain on both
sides of the line.

NASHUA UNABLE TO
STOP OUR LEGION 9

The Wolf Point Legion team con-
tinued its winning streak by vic
tory over the Nashua nine last Sun
day. The game was rather better
than the Scobey game the week be-
fore but the locals had the best of
the argument in fielding, batting and
pitching and the outcome was not
in serious doubt after the first three
or four innings. The visitors put over
three scores in the second and were
blanked for the rest of the distance.
Williams and Busby were in the
points for the Wolves and performed
in their regular reliable style. For
the rest of the local line up Jensen
covered first, Bill jacob second,
Knorr short, Trip third, with Lenz,
Shamley and Funk in the fields. A
new recruit, Kenneth Walters, took
place in the eighth and
made nice running catch and hit
Next Sunday the Wolf Point boys

pecting a stiff contest.

MARKED THE TRAIL;
MEETING AT SCOBEY

Those who went to Scobey last
Friday to mark the route of the
Powder River Trail between here and
that city report that they succeeded
in getting the work done In good
shape and that very good and very
direct route has been selected. The
distance, which was formerly sixty
four miles, was cut to SO.
Friday evening meeting was held
at Scobey that was well attended
and showed that the Daniels county
people were thoroughly interested in
the project They promised to take
up the work of marking the trail
from Scobey north to the Canadian
line and expressed themselves as
much pleased that Wolf Point was
doing the marking from their city
south.

put through an oral test that lasted
a full day and were then given a
written examination that required
many pages written in long hand.
The examining board was made up of
a number of the prominent judges
of the state, including former su-
preme justice, John Hurry, of Glas-
gov.
Mr.. Foor is naturally greatly pleas
ed at his success in passing the diff
ficult test. He had already been ad-
mitted to practice in all the courts
in Indiana before coming to Mon
tana. H. N. Marion and Mr.. Foor
have now formed law partnership
to practice under the style of Marion
& Foor.

Arlie M. Foor, who took the state

Helena and Seth G. Manning, of Kali

animation failed to pass, some of
them having taken the examination
and failed three or four times.
Getting admitted to the bar in
Montana is quite different matter

were admitted to practice upon pre-
