Crandall theaters, and John J. Pay

pected. That is, until they had
rushed back to the Capital by motor
car and impaired the news to the
other executives Of the Crandall or
ganization, who set about arrane-
ing a suitable commemoration OF
the event. This took the form of
formal presentation OF a complete
table service of sterling silver, con-
! sisting OF twelve dozen pieces
which was presented to thesbride

REMARKABLE CAST
In "TOL'ABlE DAVID

"Torable David" Joseph Herge
sheimer's story of the Blue Ridge
mountains of Virginia in which Rich
ard Barthelmess is making his frs
appearance as a star at the Liberty
Theatre Thursday and Friday, was
filmed in the very heart of these same
mountains in the locale around which
the story is written and under the
personal supervision of the author
bimeslf. An a1l-star Broadway cast
settled down to" roughing it" outside
of civilizations limits while the scenes
were taken.
Mr.. Barthelmess, who is widely
known throughout the motion pic
ture world. appears as David" the
adventurous mountain youth, and has
opposite him Gladys Hulette of stage
and screen fame.
Ernest Terrence, who as the Scotch
captain in "The Night Boat" is Luke
Hatburn, the despoiler of David's
home; Miss Miriam Abbott, for %
years under the management of
Frohman and Belasco, appears as
David's mother; Edmund Gurney of
'Deburau" fame. is taking the part
of Hunter .Kinemon, and Warren
Richmond, famous as the brother in
"John FERGUSON" is Allen, David's
brother and hero.
Hardy mountaineers. who all un-
known to themselves, have been de-
picted to the world by Mr. Herge-
sheimer in his written story, we're
pressed into service on the scren in
character parts, and the scraggly
barren homes of these mountaineers
make the actual settings for the
scenes. The mountains themselves
which have been so wonderfully de-
scribed by Mr.. Hergesheimer in the
story were transferred in all their
natural beauty to the screen.

STATE DEATH RATE
HALVED in 6 YEARS
SUPPORT OF MONTANA ASSO-
CIATION URGED IN FOL-
LOWING STATEMENT

Helena, Dec 4.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press) .-Montana's yearly
death rate from tuberculosis has
dropped from 118 to SO per 100000
of population in the seven years
since the organization of the Montana
tuberculosis association, according
to an Endorsement of the annual seal
sale of the association, now in pro-
gress. In urging support of the as
sociation Governor Dixon said:
"In 1915, the year in which the
Montana tuberculosis association
was organized, the death rate from
tuberculosis was 1888. Since that
time, through the work of the asso-
citation, and that of other agencies,
it has been slowly declining, so that
in 1921 the rate in Montana was 59.1
to 10000 population.
Montana has accomplished much,
but there is still much work to be
done if the state would have as low
rate as the surrounding states
| w ME n1OHtdlld idbC - iicf DU'N
that Of Idaho is $50; Wyoming, 37.2
Utah, 393; South Dakota, 40.8; while
North Dakota has the lowest tuber-
culosis death rate of any state IN the
union, with 23.4 deaths per 100000
in 1921.
Montana is a growing state and
her citizens for the greater part, are
young men and women who have tee;'
attracted to the west by the fascI-
nation of new country. This is
another reason why the work of the
Montana tuberculosis association
should receive the whole-hearted sup
port of the people of the state. The
majority of deaths from tuberculosis
occur between the ages of Is and 40
and these are the ages of majority
of Montana's citizens. The 1922
seal sale of this association deserves,
and I trust it may receive, the heart
lest response possible on the part OF
our people"

STEINER ACQUITTED
in SHOOTING CASE
GUARD SHOT BRAKEMAN IN
SELF DEFENSE

Havere, Dec. 6.-At the conclusion
of the evidence of both the state and
defense in the trial of Harry Stiner,
charged with the death of Geo. Siam
baugh, August 16, on motion of w.
F. O'Lary, attorney for the defense,
Judge Chas. A. Rose in the district
court today took the case from the
jury and directed a verdict of not
guilty.
The motion of Mr.. O'Leary was
based upon the grounds that the evil
dence of the defendant conclusively
showed justifable homicide and that
this evidence was uncontradicted.
There were only three eye witness
es to the shooting, which occurred
shortly before midnight in the Great
Northern yards near the Montana
hotel They were the defendant
Stiner, and Louis Morris, both Great
Northern guards, and Peter J. Mar
tin, a former machinist, who was on
strike. Immediately after the shoot
ing Martin gave the Great Northern
officials sworn affidavit which
agreed with the story OF the shosstsSs.g
as told by Stiner and Morris, both of
whom testified.
Martin testified at the coroner's
Inquest, but could not be located for
the trial. although Hill county Off
GERS had been looking for him for
several weeks. His relatives stated
that they had not heard from him in
over two months.
Stiner charged that he shot IN
self defense when he believed he was
being gheld up and after he had been
shot at by the man now dead.
On account of the fact that no
eveidence could be produced by the
state to contradict the testimony of
Stiner and Morris, attorneys for the
state did not oppose the motion,
stating that they realized the case
was a most difficult one from the
standpoint of the state on account
of lack of evidence. In view of the
fact the defendant did not testify at.
the inquest the case necessarily had
to be tried.
Under the law when the state
proves that the defendant kills man
a pima facie case is made out, which
eouires the defendant to Justify the
killing. This defendant did and as
there were no eye witnesses, the
evidence remained uncontradicted
,od ,,pdor tba law the court granted
the motion.
