CHAS. KIRK VICTIM
OF HOLD-UP ARTIST
HELD UP ON WAY HOME LAST
SUNDAY NIGHT AND RE-
LIEVED OF CASH.
Robber Escapes
Police and Sheriff Force Search City
for Gunman, But Fail to Lo-
cate Him.

Charles T. Kirk, who resides on
North Tracy street, was the victim
last Sunday night of the first hold-up
To occur in Bozeman for more than
a year. The gunman caught him as
he was on his way home about mid
night and went through his clothes,
taking a purse containing $50 and a
check for the sum of S36.
Mr.. Kirk stated he was on his way
home from town and had proceeded
little more than . block north from
Main street when ne heard omeone
coming behind him. The person was
walking fast, and by the time he had
traversed a block farther, was right
behind him. He looked back to see
if it was someon he might know,
whereupon the man showed a revolver
into his face, at the same time de-
handing that he put up his, hands.
Sir. Kirk was a trifle slow complying
with this order, w%hereupon the hold
up artist, stated he meant business
and ordered Kirk to "put them up
quick" Mr.. Kirk did so, also turning
his back to the hold-up when ordered
to do so. The search of his clothing
took but a minute or two, the man
in his haste overlooking two silver
dollars in the vest pocket of his vic
tim.
When the robber had secured the
wallet and check, he ordered Mr.. Kirk
to proceed on his way with additional
orders not to tarry. After walking
half a block Mr.. Kirk looked back
to locate the highwayman, whereupon
that gentleman fired a shot at him,
at the same time ordering him to get
along and not look back. Mr.. Kirk
continued on up the street until ar
irving at the home of Mr.. Peterson
where he resides. As he turned tc
enter the house, the hold-up artist
again fired a shot, accompanied BY
the order to get along as fast a.
possible. Mr.. Kirk lost no time il
getting into the house.
A call was at once put in to the
police station by Mr.. Kirk, giving /:
description of the man as well as h,
could distinguish in the short TIM
he had to make observations. TIL,
police at once notified the sheriff
office and officers from both bega

platform, spoke Tuesday evening at

ence that filled the seating capacity
to its limits. The subject of the lect-
ure given by Mr.. Albert was "The
Young People Of 1929" and proved
to be one of great interest to the
hearer5. Mr.. Albert has a manner
of delivery, a method Of placing his
subject before his audience, that holds
attention to the highest degree.
The subject taken by Mr.. Albert
centered around the high school stu
dent and his associations. He took
up the problem of education Of the
youth of today, bringing out most
forcefully the need Of greatest effort

attendance possible. He pointed out
that the student of the present time
is the citizen of tomorrow, who will
: have the, responsibility of the city and
nation upon him within a few short
years, showing how the education re-
ceived, or not obtained, at this time
will have it's influence upon the flu
, ture. of the country.
Discussing the fashions of today,
both for men and women, Mr.. Albert
n stated the men were just as much
: slaves of the changing styles az are
a the women. He told many amusing
incidents of fashions decree, and in
Q a very humorous manner alluded to
! the manner in which women will fol
low styles regardless of the comfort
to themselves. He also stated these
u fashions are religiously followed,
y whether or not they were approved
by the men.
} The church and it's influence upor
the young men and women of today

in a thorough manner. He expressed
the opinion of the need of better CO

when the decree IL bright colors and
enough softness OF tone to make
them generally becoming. They
have proved popular with the we'll
dressed American women How
ever, there are good authorities who
say that this shade IS already on
the first quarter OF its wane.
There is color that you may
see prominently displayed in the
show rooms OF almost all the Amer
lean importers and dressmakers. II
is what you might at first call a
vivid flame. It is really a rather
light tomato color. Sweet pea
which Is the color OF the lavender
blossoms OF the sweet pea, has the
first piaSe in violine shades for the
nonce. Jade Is still good. Opinion
varies as TO the importance OF Sim
Fein green that for a while was
stri6ingly used by French dress
makers. In some quarters here it
is spoken OF as possessing a prom
ising future; others shake their
heads and tell you that jade will
still be pre-erninently among greens.
Fungi is a new brown of soft and
generally becoming tone. and bear II:
mind that brown IS a color that Will
possess real smartness this spring.
The various colors that may be
grouped together as sand are well

does not chose navy blue or black

FOR YOUR SPRING SUIT

Navy blue in serge. Poiret twill or
triootine has come back this spring
with even stronger appeal than
usual The suits or coat frocks OF
this color as they were shown at
recent collections OF French made
frocks almost invariably were
greeted with enthusiasm. Almost
every woman experiences the dis
tinct comfort OF being smart and
appropriately dressed for spring days
when she takes off the heavier rai-
ment OF winter for frock or suit
OF this description. Very much ad-
mired have been the coat frocks OF
navy blue serge, many of which
have shown a sparing use OF red.
These show the French penchant
for drawing the skirt quite snug at
the back below the waistline., and
there is often a blousing OF the ma
terial at the back so as 10 accentu-

WYE can find good French
w precedent for the use of
sport frocks and suits OF
tweed. and French tweeds of lovely
texture have been imported to COM
pete with tweeds OF British or
American production. The idea OF
tweed costume all in the same
material does not appeal forcibly to
the mind of the French designer.
He prefers the other striped or
checked with the same mixture and
some contrasting tone. lie then
makes skirt of the plain fabric
and a jacket or cape OF the check,
or he uses the check or stripe for
the skirt and the plain material for
the jacket. often simply cut cape
takes the place of the coat and In
place of the skirt is a chemise frock.
So among the imported French
tweeds there is almost always n
plain fabric and one of striped or
checks. A rose and gray checked
tweed win be used with a rose mix
ture tweed. There are green and
tan mixtures, gray and black and

Do you try TO trace each cold or

II you can find no apparent cause
for even minor disorders then you
should consult a good doctor. be-
cause they may be symptoms OF
some deep-seated maladjustment
that should be attended 70.
When you have punished a child
for misbehavior do you watch TO see.
