Prisoner Sentenced for Long Term
After Pleading Guilty to En-
tieing Girl From Home.

After having changed his plea
from not guilty to guilty at the hear
ing before Judge B. B, Law last
Saturday, George Mcbride was SEN
fenced Monday to serve 35 years in
the state prison. Mcbride had been
arrested about two weeks ago by
Chief of Police Jack Robertson upon
telegraphic information received from
Lacrosse, Wis, charging that he had
enticed a 14-year old girl away from
home.
In pronouncing sentence upon
Mcbride, Judge Law gave him one
of the most severe arraignments ever
handed out to a prisoner in the Gal
latin county court. He expressed the
opinion of the court of any man who
would do as Mcbride had done in no
uncertain terms, stating it to be a
crime for which no punishment was
really sufficient. "You are a men
ace to the society of the country, and
should not be allowed freedom. The
law provides life sentence for the
crime which you have committed
and you having stated you are 45 years

MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
WAS REAL SUCCESS
INDIVIDUAL AND PLURAL MEM
BERSHIPS SIGNED UP BY
WORKERS WITH VERY
LITTLE EFFORT.
Monthly Meeting
Meetings Will be Held Each Month
to Discuss Work of the
Chamber.

The membership campaign for the
chamber of commerce came to a very
successful close last Friday evening,
at which time the workers met at
the chamber rooms and checked up
results. The results obtained in the
four days drive were very gratifying
to all the workers. AS is the case in
all campaigns, there are yet a few
people to be seen, and one or two
adjustments to make. When the clean
up is finally made and the campaign
officially closed, the financial sup
port obtained will fully reach the ex-
pectations of the board Of directors.
The results Friday evening, with some
committees yet to report, were 120
| individual memberships and 300 plur-
al memberships. 1t is fully expected
that the final results will be $50 in
dividual members and at least 300
| plural memberships.
y The task was comparatively an easy
one for the workers as most of them
finished on the first day. Some of the
) committees completed their work in
! about four hours. The reports had

, day evening were very favorable,
; practically all committees reporting

EARLY PIONEER IS
CALLED TO BEYOND
John Mcdonnell Passed Away After
Short Il!ness--Active Pioneer
of Early Days.

John Mcdonnell died last Friday
at the Deaconess hospital after a
year of failing health, due princi-
pally to his extreme age. He was
90 years old. An operation had been
performed in the hope of saving his
life, but he was not able to overcome
it's effects. Mr.. Mcdonnell had been
seriously i'll but few days prior to
his death, and was only removed to
the hospital on Wednesday of last
week. When death came his son Ed
ward, daughter-in-law Mrs. W. l..
Mcconnell and two nieces were at his
bedside. Another son, Emmett, ar
rived from his home too late to see
his father before his death.
John Mcdonnell has been a prom
inent figure in the development OF
Gallatin valley and this section Of
Montana for the past so years. He
was born in Ireland, coming to this
country when about 16 years old
finally locating in Iowa as young

Death of Charles of Hungary Opens
Field for Many Who Want
HOdo Crown =

Budapest, April with the death
of Charles, uncrOwned king of Hun
gary, the provisional constitution,
which was based on the fact that the
king was prevented from exercising
his prerogatives, must be redrafted
by the assembly about to be elected.
Further postponement of Hun
gary's choice of form of govern
ment has become impossible and thru
the coming elections the people must
decide the question and elect king
if the monsrchial form is preferred.
Candidates for the throne are
springing up again, strong parties
forming for the support of the arch
dukes, Albrecht and Joseph Ferdin-
and, but many deputies are reviving
the proposal for the election of an
English prince. The party favoring
Francis Joseph Otto, eldest son of the
dead monarch, however, unquestion-
ably is the strongest.
Although the legitimists are unit
ed on platform upholding the claims
of Otto and their program is grow
ing more radical, the Indications are
that Charles death has strengthened
the position of the government o.
Admiral Horthy, the regent. The men
ace of putsch, or uprising, has los

rare treat in the way of college shows
in the Montana State musical COM
edy "Loot" which is being presented
at the Ellen theatre on Friday and
Saturday, April Ia and Is.
The entire show from beginning to
end is a product Of the college stu
dents and the music department. The
play was written by Henry ]. Bolles,
senior in engineering at the college
and is one of the most original and
up-to-the-minute college productions
produced in the country. Bolles is
talented along literary lines and this
attempt of his at play-writing has re-
suited in what critics claim a college
masterpiece. The play is story of
college students in the south sea isles,
with stories of pirates and treasure
interviewer skillfully through the plot.
The musical numbers of the show have
been written at the college, the stu
dents contributing the lyrics and Di-
rector Howard writing the music.
These musical numbers are a play in
themselves and it is doubtful if any
amateur show in the northwest has
ever carried as snappy set of num-
bers as those which are played in
Loot" The cast and choruses are
the pick Of the college dramatic tai.
ent, and under the direction of Di
rector and Mrs. Howard, they are pre-

membered by those who see it. The
scenery for the production and the
costumes for the cast and chorus art
all being prepared by college stu
dents, these being the finishing touch
es to the all-Montana State produc
Tion.
The play is being started on tn
college campus as an annual activity
one such musical show to be given i
Boxeman each year on the basis Of a
entire student show. The directors o
the show, Dir. and Mrs. VIM. Howar
are both experienced IN the work @
directing college shows, having bee
engaged in like work with both anna
teur and professional shows in th
larger institutions of the east.

that theatregoers of the communit
