BEST IS LOSER
in $4,000 SUIT
ON LAND DEAL
Jury Returns Verdict in Favor
of Beaudrys: Second Trial
of Case.

A verdict for the defendants in the
contract suit of G. d. Best against
Valmore and Albert Beaudry, involv-
ing q $500 commission on the sale
of ranch property. was returned
Thursday by a jury in Judge j. B. Les
lies court. Thus ends a case that wa
tried once before in district court in
1920, then appealed to the state SUI
preme court by the plaintiff. and. final
" remanded back to district court for
a new trial.
The Beaudry brothers, who owned
a 3.20O-acre ranch, 10 miles south of
Belt. on October II, 1918, sold the
property to F. e. and J. Z. Mason for
a consideration of $4,000. Best claim
ed that an oral agreement existed be-
tween him and the brothers whereby
he arranged for the sale and calling
for the payment Of a commission Of
5 per cent of the sale price. The
Beaudry brothers denied any such
agreement and said that the ranch was
sold only on the condition that $4,000
would be the net sale price.
The jury that heard the case in 1920
returned an affirmative answer to a
question, put by the court, of whether
the defendants did employ Best to ar
range the sale. When counsel for the
plaintiff moved for Judgment on this
finding, Judge Leslie denied the mo-
ton and gave the defendants their
costs. The case was then appealed to
the supreme court and in an opinion
rendered early this year, the higher
court ruled the first trial to be a mis-
trial because the jury was discharged
reaching a verdict.
The defense was represented by 8.
J. Cowley and T. f. McCue was attor-
.ey for the plaintiff.

nepOfte0 Dy n. ID. L6kc q w..
New York, May 4.-Overnight news
developments contained some rather
favorable items. There was a report
of advances in gasoline prices in certain
sections of the country. March rail-
road earnings as a group were favor
able and there was another increase IN
car loadings. The reported agreement
with respect to the Mexican oil taxa
ton question also had a helpful effect
on sentiment. Stock market prices In
the early dealings were steady through
out with particular strength again In
domestic oil issues, shares like stand
ard Oil of New Jersey, Pacific Oil,
Houston Oil and Cosden reaching new
high prices for the year. Rails were
strong for a while as were also some
Of the gasoline issues. Standard shares
did little and in fact were inclined to
be reactionary for the most part. In
the late dealings the tone OF the mar
ket became distinctly reactionary part
ly as a result of a report that England
had refused to recognize obligation to
compensate Russia for damage by al
lied troops in Russia subsequent to the
armistice. Heavy profit taking was
also in evidence. The Disappointing ac.
ton In most departments in the face OF
rather striking strength in the oils
seems to be shaking the confidence OF
some Of the bulls and this was best re-
Elected in the heaviness in final deal
ings. There may be a keener willing
ness exhibited therefore to reduce long
holdings at favorable opportunities

A willingness to plead guilty to any

of the court that he was charged with
gambling. Pera confessed this charge

CIVILIAN PLANS
CAMPAIGN FOR
CHARITY FUNDS
Would Aid Destitute Families
Now Cut Off From
Help.

A drive for funds which will be
used for the benefit of destitute fami-
lies in Great Falls, who have been
cut off from the aid of overtaxed chart
table organizations. will be launched in
the near future by the Great Falls
Eivitan club. it was decided Wednes-
day at the Dol luncheon of the club
in the Palm room of Hotel Rainbow.
The Civilian club will undertake this
campaign with the promise of offici-
ais of the Anaconda Copper Mining
company and the Montana Power com
pany that a fund TO the extent of $3.50
will be matched dollar for dollar. In
sponsoring the drive. the club will ask
the right to supervise and audit the
expenditures after the fund has been
subscribed.
DIR. f. NJ. Larson. president Of the
club, was given authority to select
four members who. with himself as
chairman, will direct the campaign. A
sum ranging between $1,000 and $4,000
will be the goal. The fund will be
placed to the credit of the Red Cross
chapter and distributed through that
agency.
The club took no supporting action
on the resolution of the Fort Worth
Civitan club. in which it was urged
that steps should be taken to prevent
the further sale of obscene literature
at newsstands. While members were in
accord with the belief that such litera-
ture had a harmful and pernicious eff
feet on the youth Of the country, it
was not considered a matter demand
ing club action.
A committee Of three will be named
to cooperate in the coming drive of
the Great Falls commercial club for
members.

The proposal was part of a state
wide movement on the part of COM

ton of a uniform charge for the use
Of tourist grounds. As a result of
the action of the park board, the
Commercial club here will vote against
the charge plan.

as dry as ever in the west with little
prospect of rain of consequence over
Sunday. At this stage of the session
some little buying for long account
was done on the view that the news
from the rail strike conference indlcat-

Intense Rivalry Exists Between Com
Panies in Drill, Sports or Tar
get Practice.

In compliance with orders from
Headquarters, Fourth Corps Area, At
lanta, Ga, the Citizens Military
Training Camp opened at Fort Bar
rancas, Fla, on July 2Sth, and go
young men from Florida, Alabama.
Mississippi, louisiana, Georgia, North
Carolina reported for duty.
On their arrival at Pensacola they
were met by an army officer and were
escorted to the camp ct Fort Barran-
cas-.
These young men realized that I'M
der the present military policy Of our
country, which was enacted on June 4,
1920, every able bodied young citizen
of the United States should take ad-
vantage Of the opportunity offered to
prepare himself in time of peace so
that he might be qualified to be a
leader in time of war. Ali of these
candidates have put untiring efforts
into mastering the military act, and as
a result, they have been transferred
from raw recruits into we'll trained
soldiers. These boys have only been
in training here for three weeks and
those who doubt their accomplish
nents are invited to come to Barran-
cas- and witness their drill and pa
rades. They will fire a target prac-
tice Aug. 21st and 22nd, using the ~"
and 10" disappearing rifles at Fort
Pickens. The target, which is only
twenty feet square will be towed by
the steamer Jenkins" at range of
IN 900 Yards. There are three COM
NAMES here and great rivalry exists
hetween companies in drill and athle-
tics. At the close Of camp the best
drilled company will be announced,
o1so the best candidate of the Red,
white and Blue Courses in each COM
many will receive a medal The best
athletic company will be determined
on Friday, August 25th, when an ath-
letic field day will be held at the post
Since the arrival OF the students at
the Camp they have been inspected by
Major General Shanks and Brigadier
General VIM, each Of whom ad-
dressed the boys. They also have a
dailv inspection by Colonel James F.

strenuous military program, they also
have ample recreation. There is a
dance held every Thursday night at
the Service Club, which is attended by
all high school and college girls in the
vicinity. These young ladies are chap
eroned by some of the leading society
ladies of Pensacola.
The success of the social events of
the camp are due to the untiring eff
forts of the hostess, Miss Bertha
Lichten.
Swimming every evening in the Gulf
is permitted, and an army offlcer is
detailed to supervise same.
baseball, volley ball, tennis and box
two material are furnished when re-
ouested by students.
Moving pictures are held every
Monday, Wednesday and Friday even
ing.
On last Saturday the students had
a fishing trip to the snapper banks
This trip was made on the steamer
1anlIns'' and on the return trip they
visited the old battleship Massa-
cbusetts" and were permitted to make
photos Of same.
Tn addition to the above recreat1ons'
the Rotary Club and Chamber or com
merce of the City of Pensacola, on Au-
gust 18th, entertained the entire camp
with an automobile ride, from Fort
Rarrancas through Pensacola and then
to Bayview Park. Ice cream ana
cake were served and all students
agreed on their return that Pensacola
is one of the prettiest and best cities
in our country.
There is no doubt in the minds OF
anv of the candidates that the policy
of having a Citizens Camp is Dene-
fetal to the country as well as 10
themselves.
It is hoped that next year each camp
can have at least ten times as many
young men at the camps. This can
only be obtained by Congress appro-
priating sufficient funds to carry our
the poIicv they enacted in June, 1922.
