north. stopping at intervals to look
for the tracks of the car he was fol-
lowing. Nearly all of the day he fol-
lowed the tracks. They led often over
crossroads and nearly always off the
hard surfaced state roads, so the tire
tracking was made easier for the Teton
sheriff. The chase continued through
three counties, Teton, Pondera and
Toole, ending when the Ford truck,
whose tires matched the tracks fol-
lowed for more than 100 miles, was
located in Sweetgrass.
Scheffer Denies Knowledge
A little sleuthing led to the appre-
hension of Idzenga and the woman at
the hotel. A little while later Scheffer
was arrested. All submitted to arrest
without protest, but refused to make
any statement about the attempted
bank robbery. Scheffer later said that
he knew nothing about it.
Scheffer is known in Great Falls by
the authorities, according to records
compiled by Inspector Gaunt. He was
arrested by Sheriff Bob Gordon and
deputies in May, 1921, in company
with a man named Tom Browning. and
convicted in district court of violating
the state prohibition law. He was
fined 500 and served 30 days in the
Cascade county Jail. He was arrested
in June, this year, on a charge of vio-
lation of the state prohibition law and
was later released on bonds, his case
now pending in district court, local
authorities say.

bled outside the bank. The money loss

FARMERS End CULLING
REMOVES STACKER HENS.

Lexington, Ky. - During the last
few weeks many Kentucky farmers
and poultrymen have discovered that
their flocks contain a considerable
number of loafer hens that can be
culled out and sent to market without
seriously reducing the total number of
eggs received, according to early re-
ports which are being received at the
College of Agriculture from farmers
who cooperated with the extension di-
vision in having their flocks culled as
demonstrations for interested persons
ntheir communities. In one case the
egg production of the flock was in
creased despite the fact that one-third
of the birds in it were removed as
culls in the demonstration. This was
partially due to the fact that the re-
manning hens were allowed to utilize
the feed which originally had been
given to the non-laying hens.
w. l.. Loyd-Smith, a Union county
farmer living near Boxville, reported
that his flosk of Single Comb White
Leghorns produced as many eggs dur
ing the first week after seven culls
had bee nremoved as it did the pre-
vious week. During the week before
the culling, the As Leghorns produced
total of 202 eggs while the 3S hens
that were kept produced the some
number during the following week.
on the other hand, the seven culls
which were removed produced only
one egg during the week after they
were culled out and confined by them
selves.
A flock of hens owned by ]. w.
Alexander, on Owen county farmer
living near Wheatley, produced %
more during the week after culling
than it did during the seven days be-
fore culling despite the fact that one
