POPULAR BRAKEMAN
Is shot AT HAVRE

George Stambaugh, a brakeman
employed by the Great Northern, was
shot in the local yards, two blocks
west of the passenger station, last
night about 10:40 o'clock, by Harry
Stiner, railroad guard.
The shooting was witnessed by
Peter Martin, former machinist,
who recently returned from Chey-
enne, Wyo., and Louie E. Morris, an
other guard.
According to the story told by
Stiner and Morris, the shooting was
in self defense, when they believed
they were being held up. Stambaugh
they charge, approached them in
company with Martin and inquired
when and where he could catch a
train out of the city and he was in
formed that he would probably get
one in the west end of the yards.
They charge that he then ordered
them to "stick up" their hands and
pulled a gun, which Morris reached
forward to knock out of his hands
and the shooting started. They
charge that Stambaugh fired the first
shot.
The dead man was well known in
Havre and is understood to have re-
sided here about five years. He has
a brother in Phillips county. His
wife and baby born, about six weeks
ago survive him.-Havre Daily Pro-

INDIANS TO HOLD
HARVEST FESTIVAL
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS (,
AND INDIAN CUSTOMS

1t is an inspiration to sojourn in q
community that has found itself
Such community is Wolf Point.
The Indians of this vicinity realize
the Importance Of "doing their bit''
and desire to show that the first
Americans are doing their part in
making this end Of Roosevelt County
blossom like the rose.
On Friday last, a committee from
the Assinniboine Indians. residing
near this city, consisting of Thomas
Ryan, Bedford Forest, Joe Wilson
and Mead Steel called at the Com
mercial club with the view of inter
viewing the Directors on the matter
of putting on an Indian Harvest
Festival some time in the month of
September. Andrew Wigtill and o.
t. Stennes of the Stampede commit
tee were present, the other members
of this committee being unable to
attend. At this meeting it was def
nitely decided that such a festival
should be put on this fall and the
cCdIiPSOc SIOuhuS 0SCu IOl Oilc puI-
pose of staging the celebration. It
will be an all-Indian affair, managed
and staged by Indians. One feature
upon which the Indian committee
laid stress was that one of the chief
attractions of the festival would be
display of grains, vegetables, and
other farm products. OIdtime Gus
toms, races, war costumes and many
other Indian displays will be shown
and generally it is planned to make
this event one of the biggest and
best festivals ever staged by the In
dians of this vicinity.
The thing which makes it assured
that this Indian Harvest Festival
will be a success is that Wolf Point
has developed splendid community
spirit, spirit that makes one believe
in his rfeighbor, white or red. When
that is done the rest is easy.

WOLF POINT SPIRIT
MAKES IMPRESSION
CHAS. D. GREENFIELD SAYS WE
WORK TOGETHER AND
GET THINGS

Great Falls Tribune
The work of harvesting the grain
crop in northern Montana is in full
swing from Dodson east to the North
Dakota line, is the report brought to
Great Falls today by Charles D.
Greenfield, development agent of the
Great Northern.
"That part of the state," said Mr..
Greenfield this morning, twill pro-
duce lot of grain, wheat, oats and
fax, as well as rye and barley, but
it is too early to make an accurate
estimate.
"The early planted spring wheat
and the very late planted fields are
showing up the best. The fields
which were planted between the.
early and the very late experienced
some dry, hot weather, and they will
show the poorest yields, but the ag-
gregate production in Blaine, Phil
lips, Valley and Roosevelt will be
exceedingly large in comparison with
recent years. Sheridan and Daniels
will also have big crops.
"Grasshoppers have cut down the
in some sections and in
others there have been losses by hail,
but the area affected is small COM
pared with the whole. So far the
federal labor office at Aberdeen has
not sent any men into Montana, but
the farm labor situation in the north
is not acute. There appears not to
have been any great delay in cutting
the grain where shockers have not
been available the farmers are ex-
changing labor. When threshing be-
gins in earnest, it looks as though
more labor will be required than is
at present in sight
''In the country tributary to Wolf
Point the labor supply for the grain
1elds was sufficient when was
here, due mainly, l think to the ac-
.ivity of the secretary of the COM
nercial club, Charles Gordon.
"The value of a live active COM
nercial club to small town, could
lot be better proved than in the case
# Wolf Point. 1t was through the
.forts of the Commercial club that
own pulled off recently a big and
uccessful Wild West shhow, build
ng a grandstand and various neces-
ary structures. I do not think there
S town or city in Montana where
II of the people work together so
as they do at Wolf
'oint, and where so much is accom-
lished for the whole community
s is the case in that town, and it is
Il due to the get-together spirit
7hich is fostered and kept alive by
s Commercial club"

Nat Ray, won the American horse breed
ers futurity for year olds at the Grand
Circuit races today, defeating high
class field as we'll as troting the fastest
mile to the credit Of a youngster Of his
age this season.
The winner lost the first heat to Lee
wynIot, driven by Harry Fleinge. chiefly
because Ray allowed the youngster to to
the half mile post at too slow clip but
IN the next two heats Peter Earl was
clearly the class Of the field, although he
had to trot in 2:04 ga to head off Helen
Dillon in the second round.
John Henry, Of the good time stable
furnished the big surprise of the day by
taking the measure Of the southern mare
Edna Early.
Bill Sharon, a member of the Murphy
stable, outclassed the field in the 2:13
trotting class, never being in trouble at
any time during the race. Great Britton
did not have such an easy time in the
Blue Hill for 2:O5 trotters, the horses be-
ing very evenly matched.

In the year 1913 Ave years later, de-
sign had been originated by the Fish
class Committee which met with the
approval Of of all members. Then after
aporoval had been given, this design
was checked by competent naval ar
chitect.
One wear later the actual work OF pro-
ducing a. standard boat began when'
in 1919, the Southern Yacht Club author
lied the construction Of six boats OF
this new type. Another year followed
ana they had six more built, increasing
the feet to twelve boats, ita present

Club authorized three yachts Of that type
10 be built and since then tha Eastern
Shore, Houston and Biloxi Yacht Clubs
have followed suit, they comprising
the clubs using nsh elaas type yachts
