YOUNG OUTLOOK BOY
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT

The first local toll of the hunting
season in this section of Montana &C.
Cured Sunday afternoon, when Nor
man j. johnson, fifteen year old high
school boy, the son of the section
foreman of the Outlook patrol on the
500 Line, was killed instantly by the
accidental explosion of an automatic
shot gun, when the party composed of
Claude Mills, Fern Nau, the two John
son boys and Druggist Foor, had
stopped for lunch near Raymond.
The party of young people had left
Outlook Sunday morning for the lakes
near Westby and had been shooting
ducks all day, going over on the speed
er, and were on their way home when
they stopped to eat lunch near Ray
mond. One of the guns, an automatic
shotgun, which was loaded, was set
with it's but on the side of the track
and the muzzle resting against the
car and evidently with the safety off.
During the meal, a can of sardines
was opened and after it was emptied,
the boys got to scuffling and were
poking the can under one another's
nose and young Norman johnson threw
the can into the air when the gun
exploded. 1t is not known whether the
can hit the gun in it's fall or whether
it was struck in the scuffle. The shot
from the gun passed close in front of
Claude Mills face and hit young John
son in the cheek and passed through
his head tearing off the back part of
it. 1t was only by hair that Mills
was not killed. The party was par
alyzed with the shock and the ensuing
grief but as soon as they gained their
composure, the boys rushed to the tel
ephone and notified County Attorney
Erickson and the unfortunate youths
parents at Outlook. News.

INSANE PATIENT
KILLED BY TRAIN

Struck and mangled almost beyond
recognition, the body of Mrs. Annie
Lckaijack Of Denton, Mont, a patient
at the state insane asylum, was found
strewn along the tracks of the North
ern Pacific railway, about a mile east
of Warm Springs, Saturday morning,
Coroner w. D. Kendrick was notified
after section hands made the greu-
some discovery and, accompanied by
Deputy Sheriff Dick Matchett, visited
the scene of the tragedy and recovered
the body. which was brought to Ana
canda. The body will be sent to Dem
ton for funeral and interment. Mrs.
Lokaijack was 43 years old.
Mrs. Lokai.. .ack eluded the attend
ants Friday morning and every effort
was made to locate her that day, but
it is believed that she probably did not
go far from the institution and that
during the night or early Saturday
morning she was struck by a west
bound passenger train.
The death of the woman recalls the
Staying of her two children and an
attempt on the life Of her husband,
which resulted in her commitment to
the Warm Springs institution last
May. According to information COL
lected by authorities soon after the
tragedy, Mrs. Lokaijack shot and killed
her 13-year-old son as he was sitting
in chair reading. She is then said
to have turned the weapon on her
3-year-old son and to have inflicted
injuries from which he died several
hours later.
Mr.. Lokaijack, a banker and promi-
nent in business circles of Denton. was
driving seeder in his field and his
wife came to him and asked that she
be allowed to ride. She climbed on to
the seeder and put her arms about his
neck and then fired bullet which
struck his head and he fell uncon-
scious. Later he regained conscious
ness and went to his house where he
found his wife pouring gasoline over
the furniture, as he believed, to se>
the house on fire. After struggle
he subdued her and called officers.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK

DAD NV NV LIN " ~ 1hAIh-
That your city offers great advan-
tages to both producers and buyers.
That you should do everything you
can to advance the business interests
of your city.
That you should show the right
spirit-Boost your city all the time.
That it sometimes happens that in
some stores in some cities. you will
find surly clerk, a conceited clerk
or a sassy clerk. They always help
to make business for some store, other
then the one they are working in.
That to succeed you have to serve.
To reap harvest of success and quick
turnover of your merchandise, means
you have to sow the seeds of effort.
Do it by advertising, and with the
obliging clerk, the one who believes
in giving the customer service, the
clerk who can smile and make the GUS
toner feel he is favoring your store
with his order. Some grouchy clerks
act as though they were doing a great
favor to customer when they con-
descend to let them buy. The public
can get along without you, but you
can't get along without them!-E. r.

BE VOTED ON THIS FALL

10y ]. Molumby, state commander
of the American Legion, has prepared
splendid outline of the bonus bill
which is to come before the voters
of the state at the fall election. The
work was done in answer to the many
requests for information received at
Mr.. 'Molumby's office from all over
the state from those interested in it.
1t should be Of interest to every voter.
Following is the brief:
The act provides for the payment
of equal compensation to each soldier
who served in the military or naval
forces of the United States during the
World War between the dates of APP
ril 6, 1917. and November IL, 1918.
The state of Montana is authorized to
become indebted in the sum of s4,-
100000 to be raised by the issuance
and sale of bonds to pay the compen-
sation.
The bonus is paid to each person
who was regularly called, enlisted,
drafted, inducted or commissioned and
who served on active duty in the
army, navy or marine corps of the
United States during the World War
between the dates of April 6, 1917, and
November II, 1918, for period longer
than two months and who was a bona
fide resident of Montana at the time
of enlistment.
Amount of bonus-The sum of $40
for each month or major fraction of
month that person was in active ser
vice not to exceed total sum of 5000.
Persons who have received extra
compensation from any other state or
nation unless the amount of compen-
sation so received is less than thew
would be entitled to by this act will
not be entitled to the Montana bonus.

eligible for the bonus, while in the
service, an equal amount shall be paid

proprlate form of certificate to cover
such cases.

NO SYMPATHY WITH VIOLENCE

The "big four" railroad brotherhoods
have decided not to engage in a SYM
pathetic strike, even if the negotiations
to end the shopcrafts strike fail. The
tactics displayed by the strikers are
not calculated to win the approval of
other rail workers. Failing in their
attempt to scare the public and the
big four members by creating the
impression that the rolling stock was
in condition of dangerous disrepair,
they are seeking to wreck trains by
pulling spikes and putting ties on
the track. The recent wreck near Gary,
Indiana, the other day, killed the en-
gineer and fireman. It was found that
27 spikes had been deliberately re-
moved from one of the rails.

GAVE NINE REA-
SONS FOR CHURCH.GOING

l. In this actual world, church.
less community, a community where
men have abandoned and scoffed at
or ignored their religious needs, is a
community on the rapid down grade.
2. Church work and church atten-
dance mean the cultivation of the hab-
it of feeling some responsibility for
others.
3. There are enough holidays for
most of us. Sundays differ from 9TH
er holidays in the fact that there are
fifty-two of them every year-There-
fore on Sunday go to church.
a. Yes, l know all the excuses.
know that one can worship the Crea-
tor IN grove or trees, or by a run
ming brook, or in mans own house
just as we'll as in a church. But
also know as a matter of cold fact
the average man does not thus wor-
ship.
5. He may not hear a good sermon
at church. He will hear a sermon bv
a good man who, with his good wife,
is engaged all the week in making
hard lives little easier.
6. He will listen to and take part
in reading some beautiful passages
from the Bible. And if he is not ia
miliar with the Bible, he has suf-
fered loss.
Z. He will take part in singing some
good hymns.
8. He will meet and nod or speak
to good, quiet neighbors. He will
come away feeling a little more char
ltably toward all the world. even to-
ward those excessively foolish young
men who regard church-going as a
soft performance.

blown down this summer have been
