Officials.

"We're right and Havre's wrong.
We are on the square and could easily
have adjusted the matter if frankie
hadn't got drunk" Mrs. Francis Ford
of Minneapolis is said to have told
Deputy Sheriff Guy Palagi Tuesday
afternoon. Mrs. Ford and her hus-
band were arrested here Tuesday by
Deputy Sheriffs Palagi and Fred Hou-
tart and are held in the county Jail
for Chief of Police Jane Moran of
| Havre. They are charged at Havre
with obtaining mony under false pre-
lenses.
A telegram was received by Sheriff
Bob Gordon Tuesday morning from
Chief Moran asking him to arrest and
hold Francis Ford and Mildred Kirch-
baum, who were wanted in Havre for
operating a false advertising scheme.
When they were placed under arrest
here the woman told Palagi that
| Eirchbaum was her maiden name and
that she is Ford's wife. She and her
husband represent the Catholic Pub
fishing company of Minneapolis, she
said.
Hospital Refused Request
The Fords are said by Moran to
| have solicited advertising for hospital
| stationery from Havre business firms
| and then asked permission of the sister
| superior of the Sacred Heart hospital
| there to place the stationery pads in
the hospital for the convenience of the
patients. Moran said that although
the request was refused the Fords con-
tinued to solicit for the advertising
! and placed an order for the printing
of the stationery pads with q Hayre
newspaper, paying $40 down on the
order.
Suspicion had been aroused among
the business men of Havre n the
newspaper refused to print the pads,
Moran said. He said that he did not
know how much money the Fords had
| collected in Havre, but that SO had
been recovered before they left Havre,
Mrs. Ford told Palagi Tuesday that
they had collected $50 and had ex-
pected to straighten up the difficulty
Tuesday, but her husband got drunk
and she couldn't find him. She met
him in Jail Tuesday night.
Says Business Legitimate
Mrs Ford is also said to have told
| Houtari and Palagi that theirs is a
nerfectlv legitimate business and that
they have a mailing house in Spokane.
| She told them that she had obtained
permission to place the pads in the
hospital before she solicited any ad.
vertising and that she had collected
most of the money for the business
venture before n complaint was
made. She refused to drop the matter
and placed the order with the printing
establishment so that there could be
no comment on her not living up to
her end of the bargain, she is said to
have told officers here.
Chief Moran will arrive in Great
Falls today and will take the Fords
back TO Havre with him tonight, he
notified Sheriff Gordon.

Big Crops and Oil De-
v%elopment.

Montana prosperity signs are being
interpreted in the middle west, and
business men of the Twin Cities are
looking toward it as a promising trade
territory this season, according to a
news report published in the Minneap-
oils Tribune.
The report reads:
Montana, now harvesting wonderful
crops, promises to become an important
buying section in the northwest trade
territory. The wheat crop, the best
since 1915, will yield from 80 to 40
bushels to the acre. These are the OBJ
servations of L. Ii. Chamberlain, chair
man of the First National bank, and
Henry Doerr, president Of the Min
neapolis Drug company, who have re-
turned from a two weeks trip through
Montana. Farmers and business men
are optimistic everywhere. they said.
owe motored 400 miles through the
Judith basin and found the crops good
everywhere said Mr.. Chamberlain.
We talked to a good many business
men, bankers and farmers, and all are
very UcDClul. IutAC 10 uo 4uC6lOIu buA
that Montana has a good crop. While
the price is low, most everyone believes
that much good will come of it. Farm
ers are getting good prices for their
sheep and the feeling is general that
the livestock industry is improving.
Everyone is pretty much excited about
oil. There are already two refineries
at Lewistown and one of them, | am
told, is paying dividends of $4,000
a month
1.-The general outlook in Montana is
good Mr.. Doerr said. The crop is
! good and people are feeling optimistic,
There is no reason at all why Mon
tana should 0 come back. Wheat,
was informed, will run from 80 to 4O
bushels to the acre and the yield OF
oats will be very heavy. The stock is
looking fine. OF course, the cash re-
turns from the crop will be used to 6
large extent in paying the Indebtedness
| which has been incurred in recent lear
years. But there is ground for rejoic-
ing in the fact that the crop will put
new money into the state. That's
what counts"

US. Jury finds THREE MEN
GUILTY OF SELLING LIQUOR
Sampson, Weir and Brasseau VIII Be Sentenced
This Morning; Gene Van Vert Appears
as Government Witness.

their profits are taken III fighting the
case and paying their attorney"
Again:
''The defendant has said that White
came to him and asked tor the cream
pitcher to drink from. Now if Samp-
son were serving the drinks, perhaps
he might take whatever vas at. hand,
a cream pitcher, perhaps. But if q
man came and asked for something to
drink liquor out of, it may be probable
that he would ask for a glass. That
is for you to Judge"
Test of Friendship
Sampson had testified that he told
White and his companions to go help
themselves" when they asked for Bar
rett's room.
Judge Bourquin: Gentlemen, when
YOU 90 into a friends house and he
gives you a drink of liquor, that isn't
a violation of the law. 1t is an act Of
friendship. If he tells you to go down
into the cellar and help yourself
that is a test of friendship, indeed.
When a dealer in liquor tells you to
90 help yourself-does it sound reason
able? These are questions for you to
decide, gentlemen"
On another point:
THE defendant has testified that he
believed he was being paid for meals
that had not yet been eaten. Is it
probable that a man would pay IN ad-
vance for a meal!'
On the question of the credlblllty OF
Van Vert as a witness:
There was formerly a law that the
testimony of any persons convicted of
a felony should not be considefde by
a jury. The law still holds that evil
dence of such conviction may be Of
! fered in order that the jury may de-
eide for itself as to what weight should
be given the testimony.
IN the case of Van Vert, it is for
you to decide what weight should be
| given the evidence. You may take it
that he has beaten back Such is al
ways our hope. That is the derivation
of the very word 'penitentiary'-re-
pentance. It is for you to decide, gen.
tIemen, the weight of his evidence"
Refers TO Poison M%oonshlne
At the close of each case, before
sending the jury to it's deliberations,
Judge Bourquin spoke of a report he
had just been reading in the news
papers regarding the death of some 10
persons in an eastern city from drink
ing prohibition banned liquors. He
warned the jurors not to sample the
liquid evidence in the case.
Weir was alleged to have sold lin
dividuaI" bottles of liquor each to the
prohibition officers on July 4 and Bras
seau with a similar offense on July D
After being out since = in the after
noon, the jurors returned to the court
room shortly before 5 asking for add,
tional Instructions. After deliberations
of an additional half hour, they re
turned verdicts Of guilty against both
men.
NJ. J.. Barrett, who figured in the
Sampson case, asked permission tC
change his plea of not guilty to guilty
He was sentenced to serve 30 days il
the county Jail and pay a fine of $1N
and costs.

PLUMBER
ON CHARGE OF
HAVINCLIQUOR
Local Man Suspected of Being
in Dakota Tourist Park
With Booze Car.

Otto Klessig. plumber, was arrested
at his home, 1911 Third venue north,
Tuesday afternoon on a fugitive war
rant charging him with having 1ntoxl-
eating liquor in his possession at Will
netOn, y. i. The warrant was served
by Sheriff G. G. M~ackenroth of Will
Inns county, \. ID. Klessig was ar
rested by Chief of Police Marcus An
derson and Mackenroth and placed in
the city jail.
Klessig was held Tuesday night in
the city jail without bonds pending
extradition proceedings making 1t pos
sible for Mackenroth to take bis
prisoner back to North Dakota for
trial. Klessig said Tuesday night that
he would fight extradition and retained
J. w. Freeman as his attorney.
Mackenroth told Chief Anderson
that he had seized Is cases of whisky
from a car in the Williston tourist
park September 10. The car was
driven by Klessig and another man
was with him, he said. After Selling
the whisky, Mackenroth said that he
left q Waterman at the tourist park
gate to see that the alleged whisky
runners didn't leave. The location OF
the tourist park is such that there is
only one entrance to the park, Mack
enroth said.
But the luck broke for the men who
had just lost their whisky. A sigma.
light at a telephone booth flashed q
message TO the Waterman that some
body wanted an officer. He answered
the telephone. When he got back to
the park entrance the suspected pair
had used it for an exit.
Sheriff Mackenroth holds a John
Doe warrant for the man he says was
with KleSsig. His name was not as.
certained by the officer.

Three persons were found guilty by
juries In federal court Tuesday on
charges of violation of the national
prohibition laws at Glacier Park sta
ton early in July. Lyman A. Samp-
son, a hotel man, was convicted on
three counts; Chris Weir, a restaur-
ant owner, on two counts, and Eudo
Brasseau, a pool hall owner, on three
counts. Sentences will be passed on
the three this morning.
The last two were tried together
Tuesday morning and the jury in the
case was out the greater part of the
afternoon, while the Sampson case was
tried and the jury reported in before
the first verdict had been returned.
The cases had some points in com
mon in that it was Gene Van Vert
and C.. S. Hanna, federal prohibition
officers, who obtained the evidence
leading to the arrests. They were sim
liar, too, in that each marked an at
tack by Attorney j. n. Thelen, for the
defense, upon the veracity of van
Vert, who, he charged, was convicted
of a felony in Iowa. Van Vert admlt
ted this.
In the Sampson case, government
witnesses charged that they had en-
tered the hotel with Crystal White, r
rodeo rider, who had asked to buy a
drink for his friends. Their testimony
was that Sampson served them in a
room of the hotel, the drinks being
poured from a half-pint bottle and each
drinking from a small cream pitcher
As they passed out, Van Vert paid
the man $3.50. -Four days later, the
officers charged, they raided the hote
and found liquor in the room where
they had been drinking.
Sampson Denies Sale
In Simpsons story, he admitted the
coming of the men to the hotel, but
said that he told them that he
wouldn't sell a drink of liquor to his
own brother" He said that White
said he had previously bought liquor o.
a roomer named Barrett" that ht
went to Barrett's room and later re
turned to borrow the cream pitcher tc
drink from. The $3.50, he said, ht
took to be for meals, a payment in ad.
vance.
Indian Steve" Henault, left t.
guard the room and liquor by the Off
GERS on the occasion of their raid OF
the hotel, testified to Sampson rushing
into the room with a meat cleaver hal
raised. Indian Steve" said that h
feared an attack and drew his gun
Sampson explained this by saying tha'
he had been mailing some decoration
to the porch. Sheriff Dineen of Ola
cier county was called to support thi'
theory. He told of seeing Sampson
using the cleaver on the porch.
The instructions to the jury given b.
Judge BourQuin were filled with tn
philosophy gained in sitting in innu
merable liquor cases.
There is no money in selling
liquor" quoth the turist. Some PEG
pie think there is. They sell it anc
think they are making money, but
sooner or later, if they keep on, the!
are detected, are brought to trial AM
