Former Great Falls
Man Being Tried for
Murder in Texas

News accounts of the trial in Dallas,
Texas, of Dave e. Soderman, charged
with first degree murder, are being
read with considerable interest in
Great Falls as Soderman is remem-
bered as having conducted a restaurant
here five or six years ago.
Soderman is alleged to have muir
dered J. Clay Powers in Dallas, April
Is, because he became too intimate
with Mrs. Soderman, who was also
well known here. Mrs. Soderman,
testifying recently in behalf of her
husband, admitted on the stand that
the murdered man had gained her af-
fections. Powers was shot a few days
after Soderman learned from his wife
Of the alleged relationship.
Soderman left Great Falls after he
had sold his business, going first to
Casper. Wyo, and later 70 Texas.

RADIO FANS HEAR
PLEASING NUMBERS
Tribune Breakfasts Well Bal.
anced Program; Opera
Baritone Splendid.

"KDYS" called the radio fans Of the
northwest at 1880 Wednesday night
to tune in for the mid-week musical
program from The Tribune's broad
casting station. So good was this
program that extra effort will have to
be used in the future to arrange any
thing equal to the range of solo and
instrumental numbers which the micro
phone absorbed and spread over the
mountain region.
In addition to a splendid balance of
Great Falls artists, The Tribune was
fortunate in securing the services of
two accomplished members of Moros-
co.'s "Abie's Irish Rose" company. Phil
ip Ryder. baritone and member of the
California Opera company, the first
in three stirring favorites. IAN That l
Ask of You is Love" "On the Road to
Mandalay" and Song of India"
Hardly less pleasing were the two
contralto numbers contributed by Miss
Mabel Kroman. Her rich tones were
particularly appealing in Mother Ma
cbree."
Mrs. Alice Calvert Bell. soprano.
and Walter H~alvorsen, tenor. were the
local balance against the baritone and
contralto numbers and should have
pleased all those fortunate enough to
be tuned in. Miss Myrel Stenson car
ried the solo instrumental part of the
program with two delightfully."- rendered
piano compositions.
All of the accomplishments for the
vocal numbers were played by Miss
Olive Sorrick. Both of the Morosco
artists were enthusiastic in declaring
their pleasure in singing to her accom-
panying.
At the proper time. that is. just S
o'clock. THE Lady in the Clouds" talk
ed to all the little folks and sent
them to happy dreams with one Of her
nonyIar bedtime stories.

west. had reached $50 feet Wednesday
afternoon, according to a telegram re-
ceived BY L. G. Stevenson, president.

pany preparing for drilling operations
was unable to obtain the immediate
services of a driller and was forced to
send outside for a man.

the rest of the Fulton crew are now
awaiting the completion Of the NOV
