wv. E. Davies" Has Been Fugi
tive Since January, Says
Inspector.

A record of three convictions and
a broken parole. with nine years to
serve in the Washington state peni-
Tertiary at Walla Walla. Wash, is held
by William Earl Davies of Havre.
who is being held at the county jail
on a charge of transporting liquor.
according to Bertillion Expert Ray
Gaunt. He was arrested near Vir-
gelle.
The criminal record of the man was
obtained when the finger prints of
Davies were taken by Officer Gaunt.
1t showed that he had served terms at
both Chehalis and Monroe state re-
%formatories in Washington. He was
sent to Walla Walla in May. 1913, to
serve from one to 10 years for grand
larceny. He was paroled in June, 1919.
and violated parole in January. 1922,
having been a fugitive since that time,
according to Mr.. Gaunt.
o. ii. L. Shelley. federal prohibition
director for Montana, was notified of
the criminal record of the man. At
present the only charge against Davies
is that of transporting liquor, although
assault with a deadly weapon may be
preferred. officials say. Friends of
the man in Havre are said to be now
arranging bail and should this be the
case, a fugitive warrant will be issued,
the officers announced.

SHELTON HERE
TO MEET With
DEPOSIT0RS
American Bank Creditors to
Talk Reorganization
Plans Tonight.

A meeting of the stockholders of
the American Bank & Trust company
has been called for tonight to consider
the present status of the efforts TO
r~eorganize. according to Chairman a.
Fl. Gray, of the reorganization commit
tee. l.. q. Shelton. state bank exam
liner. will be present to discuss, the
situation with the stockholders and
20 explain to them definitely just what
may be expected on the part of both
stockholders and depositors before the
bank would be permitted to reopen.
"A report has unfortunately been
widely circulated to the effect that the
stockholders only expected to pay a
% per cent assessment and thus be
relieved from further liability" said
Mr.. Gray. This was never the in
t~ention. as it is evident that a - per
cent assessment would not be suffici-
ent to reopen the bank and put it on
the proper financial basis. It was the
intention of the stockholders to pay a
voluntary % per cent assessment upon
demand, which. of course. would not
release them from their statutory IL
ability. but would leave them subject
to call for such additional amount as
might be necessary.
1T is now evident that in order to
furnish the necessary cash reserve and
to release collateral held in the east
which must be released before de-
positors can expect any dividends that
the stockholders will be required to
pay into the bank, practically all ever
if not their entire statutory liability.
But if this is done it is eually essen
tial that all depositors sign up for the
reorganization as the bank could not
open without these depositors being
signed up, even though the stockhold-
crs should pay in their full statutory
liability of 100 per cent on the dollar.
"Depositors who have not signed
should not delay. believing thereby that
they will be paid in full, because the
money paid in by stockholders in the
event that the bank should reopen
would not be available for the payment
of any depositors who have not signed.
Delay in signing up for reorganization
only means added expense and loss to
all depositors."

STATES TAXES
CUT This YEAR,
SAYSFRANTzKE
Public Demand For Economy
Reduces Collections In
Montana.

For the first time in the history OF
the state, the Montana tax bill will
show a reduction this year over the
previous year. according to A.. A
Frantzke of Lewistown, secretary Of
the Montana Taxpayers association.
due to the agitation for economy
that has been raised throughout the
state, there has been a general and coD-
sistent policy of retrenchment followed"
he said. Il believe that in virtually
every case of where an increased tax
levy has been voted upon it has been
voted down. l know of but one case
where this has not been the result.
There will be few if any additional
bonds passed and in every line county
and city officials are going to watch
the community purses.
with good crops the government of
communities is going to be on a firmer
financial basis. Already there is about
Is per cent of the delinquent taxes
paid and this will increase as the sea-
son progresses. The delinquent taxes
on Montana farms are to be the first
consideration of the farmers this fall
when they begin TO get the money for
their crops.
MANY counties will be in good fin
ancial condition after this first year.
Others will take a longer time and
some that have weighed themselves
down with heavy bond issues will
spend years in recovering their place
on firm foundations. Only the strict
economy of their officials will bring
them back.
my predictions of better tax condi-
tions are based in the understanding
that there will be no new or freak laws
passed that will call for increased ex-
penditures. Our organization is TAX
ing no political stand nor is it trying
to influence legislation, but it would be
most unfortunate if the good work to-
ward economy that is now inculcated
in the people and in public officials
were to lose their results through new
forcing of expenditures"

Oldti1ner Believes
in Doodlebug When

Doodle bugs be most peculiar ami

popularity by them as fosters them,
said the Lease hound as he settled
| down in the lobby chair and laid away
his multi-colored map.
doodle bug artists, the opponents
of the willow rod, the oil daisy and
the like-they're all most amazin' crit
~ters," he continued. "And logical too.
If a geologist could be a half as logi-
cal and q quarter as cocksure as is a
doodle bug man, he'd have his fortune
made. l never did hear. / never did
see, a first ate doodle bug exponent

theory to back him up. l may doubt
a doodle bug when I'm away from one,
but in their presence I'm always a firm
believer.
Sometimes / think the boys who fol-
low the willow rod have al advantage.
All you have to do is find the tree
that your theory calls for and then
you travel over the country discover
ing oil. There's a friend of mine just
the other day that told me that if he
could find some tree that carries a
long Italian name, his fortune would
be made. He makes his divining rod
from the roots on the south SIDE of the
tree on the theory that sunlight gives
it it's peculiar and mystic powers.
Then there is my own theory of the
old daisy. You take these daisies out
to the middle of the acreage you own.
Holding the daisy upright. you skip
lightly in the direction in which your
shadow falls. With each skip. you
pluck a petal: There's oil. There's
not. There's oil. There's not The
last petal tells the story. II you don't
find oil with the first daisy, just take
another.

just raised cane. 1t was a wonderful
thing to see and I've Token the time
