two young men who have been en-
ployed around Minot, were arrested

theft Of an Overland-Four from the
Stearns Motor Co. Sheriff Scofield
went to Portal and returned with the
prisoners early Tuesday morning.
The young men had hired the car
from the Stearns Co. for two or
three hours and after three days the
owners became suspicious. They
claim they intended returning to Mi
not, but it was learned at Portal that
they had made inquiries as to how
they could take the car across into
Canada. One Of the young men was
employed as taxi driver in this city
and the other worked for Mr.. Stearns'
brother on the John Ehr farm.

FOKAlzR biINOT DANCING TEACH

CLERGYMAN; COMMITS SUICIDE

led by the Rev. Mr.. Christlcr, return
ed to Havre.
Rev. Mr.. Christler was a fine look
ing man, a perfect figure physically,
standing more than six feet. He was
46 years of age and in addition to be-
ing a noted preacher and lecturer, was
we'll known as a political writer.
There seems to be little question
that the affair was murder and sui
eide. When DR.. D. 5. Mackenzie, who
was called after the shooting, arrived,
the pistol with which the two had
hlcn shot, was still grasped in Mrs.
Carleton's hand, and her finger was
Sti.l on the trigger.
Mrs. Christler, describing the shoot
ing. said that Mrs. Carleton came to
The Christler home late Thursday
night and remained until early Friday
morning talking to the Rev. and Mrs.
Christler When she started to leave,
the clergyman accompanied her to-
ward the entrance, the widow said,
and had just shut a door between
small hall and the room where Mrs.
Christler was left, when two shots
rang out. Mrs. Christler opened the
door and found the bodies, that Of
Mrs. Carleton being on top of the
minister's body.
All Of the principals in the tragedy
were prominent, both in Montana and
elsewhere. The Rev. Christler, who
was 46 years old, had held charges
in New York and New Jersey. He
came to Montana in 1910 as mission
ary of the Milk River Valley and had
developed his field into one of the
largest mission territories in the
United States.
Mrs. Christler is the daughter Of
the late David Wadsworth, Auburn,
N. Y. manufacturer. The Reverend
and Mrs. Christler were married in
1914.
In an unsuccessful effort to estab
lish a motive for the shooting, Off
GERS partly reconstructed number of
letters found in a partially destroyed
condition in the room Mrs. Carleton
, had occupied in a local hotel. They
declared they could find no mention

Activities Of press correspondents
do not find favor with Coroner Hol-
land, who, expressing resentment this
morning said:
"All they want is something sensa-
tional," and he followed his statement
with the intimation that the killing
Of the noted minister, supposedly, he
said, by member Of the minister's
parish was not particularly the pub

, Coroner Holland said that. when
Mrs. Carleton came to the Christler
/ home at o'clock Friday morning she
acted demented and that in view of

! Christler he was convinced no inquest
was necessary as he said:

| When asked to state what Mrs.
Christler had told him to convince him
that the killing was a murder and
suicide, Coroner Holland said again
it was not the public's business and
that he would not make Mrs. Christ

T0wn!ey Wants Eighteen Elevator

IOWn!ey Wants Eighteen EIeVatOrS ,
Townley and Lemke spoke at Hope
recently. 'Townley in his speech crit
icized the present administration for
not having built enough elevators, and
said that Governor Nestos should
have had eighteen elevators built in
order to handle the present crop.
When we remember how long it took
the Nonpartisan administration to
start building one elevator, and that
during the last eleven months of that
administration no work of any kind
was done on it, we wonder whether
Townley and another League admin
istration would get the eighteen ele
vators built in time to handle the 1850
crop. "

Yankees and Red SOx to Clash

overtime with their former playmates-

at half-past one.

Now that Babe Ruth is back in this
game the statisticians are able to get q
line on how much the exile of the Eabe
cost the owners. The season startei on
April ~. without Babe Ruth, who was
declared null and void by Judge Lands
until May 10. During that period the
attendance at the Yank games fell off to
the financial tune of something like
$500 900.
or course they had to have disciplins
in the league. but at that price 1t might
seem a trifle high. 1t is doubtful that
Ruth felt the punishment very kecnly.
for It seemed to consist in extracting
$100 900 each from the pockets Of the
two Colonels. Rupert and Huston. In
imposing the sentence the good Judg,
might have transposed the old refrain of
the parent to the child about to be
spanked: This will hurt me more than
it will hurt YOU" The Judge might
have said to the two Colonels: "rhis
will hurt YOU more than it will hurt
the Babe
This is one of the penalties attached
to the proprietorship of Babe Ruth.
Every time the temperament of the Babe
explodes the owners of the primitive
Son of Swat suffer acutely in the region
of the cash register, which is very
sensitive spot.
The two Colonels certainly deserve
credit for suffering in silence. Can you
imagine any other pair of magnates
watching 100000 being withheld from
them without uttering some piercing
and raucous squawks? You cannot.
The Colonels were not alone in their
silent grief. The entire American
League bore part of Ruths punish
ment. The early season attendance fell
off more than 80 per cent. as compared
with the same period of last year. This
was especially painful In view of the
fact that the overhead of nearly all
the clubs increased something like 25
per cent
But that is all over now and the
Babe seems to be getting his eye on
the ball. his waistline is decreasing with
a rapidity that is almost visible to
the naked eye. his reflexes are getting
into working order once more. There are
two home runs in already and before
midseason the Babe will be leading all
the gents who have been making home
runs while he was shackled by the
Lands decree.

championship of Greater New York
scheduled for this afternoon between
Richmond Hill High School, winner of
the Queens title and the Brooklyn

week to next Saturday at Parkville

bush Oval. Manual will meet Boys High
in their postponed game of several
weeks ago on Monday, while Erasmus s
game with Eastern District yesterday,

Three Runners Will Start in

Penn Champion.
by DANIEL.

Perhaps the most interesting feature
at the spring games of the New York
Athletic Club at Travers Island this
afternoon will be the assault of Larry
Brown of Pennsylvania, intercollegiate
half mile champion. on the worlds
record for 600 yards. Lawson Robertson
the Pennsylvania coach. believes tina,
with favorable conditions on the fast
track Of the Mercury Footers his
sensational star will. have the mark
at his mercy. 1t all depends on whether
the track will dry out before the test
Is made.
The present standard In 1:1o4-5, and
was established by Mel Sheppard al
Celtic Park In 1910. Brown already holds
tho worlds record for 1000 yards and
after his expected success at 600 will
set himself for a battle with the half
mile figures. :
At the request of Robertson the New
York A. G. has kept the field for the
special 600 yard test down to four rum
ners. Paul Pilgrim said last night that
no had named Alfred Dolder, George L.
Nolan and Harold A. Cunningham, all
