q TEACHERS SUE
SCHOOL BOARD At
BUTTE FOR S5,720
Demand Pay for Full Time
Despite Early Closing of
y 1922 Term.

Butte. July 27.-Twenty-seven claims
aggregating 1920 were filed against
school distrSrt No. 1. when Miss Lizzie
Pettibone. one of the teachers dis
charged last spring by the trustees.
started suit in the district court against
the district and Mrs. Julia Rodgers,
board chairman; James II. Baldwin,
Barney Lindsay. f. f. Maginn, c. V.
Fulton. Jack Stewart and Shelby Sweet
as trustees.
The ~ claims represent the amount
which as many teachers allege is due
them under their contracts becausesof
the early closing of the schools. In
each instance, the claimants specify
the terms of their contract with the
board, which. according to the com
plant. assured them employment from
September e, 1921. to June 30, 1922.
Because of depleted finances, the
schools closed on May II. 1t is for
the purpose of compelling the district
to pay the amount which the individual
teachers allege is due them from May
II to June 80 that the suit has been
started.
A communication was recently re-
ceived by the trustees from Miss Petit
bone in which she informed them the
- cldlmS. III addlllon 10 Hef own. ndu
been assigned to her and that unless
they were settled in full she would be
compelled to institute legal action
against the district for their collection.
Not all of the teachers who are
mentioned in the suit, however, were
those who were dropped from the active
list last spring. There are a number
who have been hired for the coming
school year.
That influence nay be brought to
pear on some of these teachers other
than that arising from court proceed
ings is indicated by the remark of n
of the trustees. who minated that
those implicated in the suit will find
themselves out Of a job this fall when
again opens.

College Boys Good

Labor Bureau Man

Helena. July 27.-(By The Associat-

best kind of wheat harvesters. accord
ing to George f. Tucker. head of the
United States farm labor bureau. with
headquarters in Kansas City. who was
IN Helena recently. comforting with
I. ID. Greenfield. Jr.. head of the divi-

on plans for meeting the labor dmands

The college boys who appear asking
work in the wheat fields are eagerly
taken by the farmers. who have found
that their energy makes them good
harvesters.' said Mr.. Tucker. They
are usually athletes who are doing the
work in the fall, and they have a spirit
of craftsmanship which makes them un-
willing to fall behind other workers or

FARMERS MAY USE
TRUCKS To MARKET
IN EMERGENCY
States 1,5O0 Freight Motors
Could Supply Food
in a Tieup.
Special to The Tribune.

Helena, July 27.-In case of al
emergency in Montana. resulting from
effects of the railroad strike. the 1,j0t
automobile trucks in the state nigh
be depended upon to a certain extenr
to haul grain supplies to mills from
short distances. but to depend who'll,
upon automobile transportation would
be impractical, according to Chester
G.. Davis. Commissioner of Agriculture
Thursday night.
Mr.. Davis believes that the automo.
bile trucks could be USED to a limited
degree to prevent a shortage of foot
within the state, but is of the opinion
that a complete railroad tieup will not
be permitted to take place. His state
ment follows:
THE question of moving grain, pota-
toes. fruit and hay crops to primary
shipping points is not one that will af-
feet Montana farmers more this year
than normally. and at our great dis
lance from terminal markets / ques-
ton whether there is any likelihood
that automobile trucks can be used for
any other purpose than to haul crops
to rail shipping points and for inter
state crop movements. trucks can un-
dOubtedly be employed to prevent any
food shortage within Montana. but
that will not be of Importance in mar
keting Montana's crop.
THE bulk of the grain crop is mar
keted in Minneapolis; livestock in
Chicago and South st. Paul; potatoes
in Minneapolis. Chicago. st. Louis and
Kansas City, and apples in New York
City.
In my judgment it would be imprac-
teal to depend upon moving any con-
siderable portion of our crop this dis
lance by motor truck. There are pro-
baby 1900 automobile trucks of one
and one-half ton capacity and upwards
in Montana. Assuming they could be
spared for use on trips out of the
state to terminal markets. their capa-
city would not be sufficient to make
any impression upon the total crop
to be moved. AT the usual charge for
truck haul. the value of grain would
be confiscated by freight charges be
fore the truck had moved far toward
the terminal.
Grain elevators in Montana. in
Guiding mill elevators with 6.0OO.N 900
bushels capacity, have a total hold
ing capacity of 81. 200. 900 bushels. 1t
might be possible to employ trucks to
haul grain to the supply mills from
short distances around in the event of
a complete tie-up of rail movement,
bur ] do not believe that will be per-
mitted to occur"

EXPLOSION
FOLLOWS DYNAMITE
TRAGEDY At RANCH
Shed at Home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Urbach, Blast Victims,
Is Blown Up.

Livingston, July 27.-Local peace Of
ficers were startled when Otto f Ur-
bach, eldest son of the late Dir. and
Mrs. Ernest &. Urbach of the upper
Mission country. who lost their lives
as the result of a dynamite explosion
supposed to have been perpetrated by
an enemy last Saturday morning Il week
ago. came to town to report a second
explosion on the ranch and to ask the
officers to make an investigation to
determine its cause.
Sheriff James McClarty. Under
sheriff Herb G. Cooke. Deputy Sheriff
Clarence Gilbert and James Summers.
an employe of the county who is an
expert in the handling of dynamite and
other explosives, responded to the call.
1t was found by Mr.. Summers that
the blast was caused by the ignition Of
gases arising from a 5G-pound pail Of
carbide used in a shed on the hill about
30 feet from the demolished dwelling
TO generate gas for the acetylene light
ing plant on the ranch. 1t is supposed
that the recent explosion of the 40
pound dynamite charge. in which Mrs.
Crbach WAS instantly killed and as n
result of which Mr.. Urbach committed
suicide by cutting his throat with a
razor. had loosened the roof on the
carbide shed and that the heavy rains
of last week leaked into the carbide
tank and generated the destructive gas.
A part of the tank was blown out by
the explosion and the roof of the shed
was partly torn off. the structure TAX
ing fire and being partially consumed.
Although the sheriff's forces are still
pursuing an investigation through which
it is hoped the ultimate capture of the
dynamiter of the trbach home nav be
effected. they are not yet ready to
make public the result of their ~investi-

SAYS MUSCLE WAS
SPELLED MUSSLE
BY EARLY SETTLERS
Descendant of Pioneers Tells
of Change by Mistake
Never Corrected.

Florence. Ala.-From 1878 till abou,
1876, the shoals on the Tennessee river
here were known as "Mlssel Shoals. "
according to maps Of original SURVEY
and historical data of original and an
thentIc character possessed BY John
b. Weakley, Birmingham lawyer and
capitalist and former resident of this
community.
Mr.. Weakley's parents and grand
parents resided here and handed down
to him Il wealth of historical informa-
ton, which he has displayed TO set at
rest a controversy that has arisen over
the original spelling of Muscle
Shoals"
This data, according to Mr.. Weaklev.
shows that the Cypress Land company
purchased the land about Muscle
Shoals from the government. March
13, 1918. and the first white settle
ments were recorded that year. fol-
lowed by an influx of settlers the next
year. At that time the survey showed
the shoaly section of the river as
''Mussel Shoals the name being given
the rapids by reason of the great quan-
titles of the edible bivalve. mussels.
found in and along the stream. these
records appear to indicate.
Hauled Musse!s in WAGONS
Il have often heard my grandparents
tell of mussels being hauled ont by the
wa~gonloads," declared Mr.. WeakIev
This was the same mussel that was
once so abundant on the Mississipni
river and from the shell of which in
earlier days many pearl buttons we're
made
Mr.. Weakley accounts for the partial
disappearance of the mUssel from the
stream as a result of floods and the
encroachments of civilization.
When the government undertook to
complete the Muscle Shoals canal
about 1876, the data in Mr.. Weak
possession shows. engineers
changed the name from "Mussel' to
Muscle on government records and
has stood. This was not by design,
but by accident, in Mr.. Weakley's
opinion.
Mr.. Weakley possesses a map which
he said was made 100 years ago. This
shows the spelling "Mussel.' Several
of this map are matters of rec.
ord in the community. Mr.. Weakley
said.
Government records. insofar as they
are available, show the spelling
Muscle Shoals"
Arouses Much Discussion
Since Muscle Shoals became a ma
tional issue. discussion Of the name has
numerous reports.
1t was contended by army engineers
the name never had been altered
md that it originated from an Indian
story. heap. big muscle" required TO
pull canoes over the rapids in the river
this point.
Another story that came from the
Indians was that the shoals at that !
point in the river resembIed the biceps.
