Break Bars on
Neu Crossing

The highway office is worried be-
cause unknown parties have torn
down the blockade on the concrete at
Dickeyville and traffic has been going
over the new bridge. A certain time
is allowed for the concrete to cure"
and use of the road before the period
is up relieves the contractor of re-
sponsibility. The barricades have
been replaced and request is made
that they be left there.
The Platte river bridge will be
thrown open to traffic next Sunday,
August 20. The bridge has been
under construction for the past year
and quarter. 1t will greatly speed
up traffic to southbound points and
afford a certain method of crossing
river that is occasionally quite tur
bulent.

GOLD ROBBERY
HEARING SET
FOR AUGUST 10
Mysterious Tavera Case
Still..Baffles Crawford
County Officials

PRAIRIE DU CHEN, Wis.-Aug.
14.-The justice court hearing of Ell
den Powers accused of completely in
the $4,000 Horrigan robbery was
postponed until August IS, on motion
of the district attorney. The condi-
ton of Ellen Horrigan, complaining
witness, was given as the reason. Her
injuries in the encounter with the
robbers have so far prevented her
from appearing in court.
Powers claims to have perfect
alibi and Miss Horrigan has not
named him as her assailant, although
she knows him personally and he is
from the same section. He is out on
$1,000 BAIL
Victims Are Silent.
The Horrigans are very reticent
about the robbery refusing to discuss
the matter. Miss Horrigan's wounds
are proving more serious than was at
first supposed, the cut across the
forehead being especially bad.
This robbery was committed on the
morning of July "a, when the woman,
who is ga years old, was alone at the
farm home in the township of Clay
ton, near Soldiers Grove, the two
brothers being out in the field at
work. Two men approached the place
claiming to be looking for lost COW.
While one engaged her in converse
ton the other entered the house.
When she started to follow she was
set upon and beaten by the one man
until she was unconscious. Her
brother found her on his return to
the house about noon. A trunk had
been opened and much money taken.
The amount is estimated to be about
$4,000, $4,000 gold and the balance
currency.
No Faith In Banks.
This family has not trusted banks
since failure at BoscObel some 40
years ago endangered the fathers
savings and he recovered it, it is said,
from the banker at the point OF re-
y0lver.

jolting himself up bit, but aside
from slight bump the little girl

Name Wanted!

Two joint inventors of Great
Falls have built and can demon
strate to you a machine for which
they have applied for patent rights,
and now they want a trade name.
The machine is a full automatic
photograph. 1t plays either side of
any size or style of disc record, the
selection being made by simply turn
ing a knob to any record and then
press the BUTTON and it will play the
selected record as many times as
you desire without your touching
the machine, or by turning the hand
wheel the machine will play both
sides of every record in the maya
zine. The magazine is simply a
place for the records.
The machine is encased in a hand
some cabinet and looks like the or
binary Victrola except it is a little
wider. This machine eliminates tie
handling and hunting of records, the
changing of needles; no springs to
rewind: all scratch noises except
that heard in the r%eproducsr disc;
dust and dirt on records. the case
being dust proof. and the machine
is simple in design and action.
This machine is desired in the
home, cafes, schools, public places
of amusement, and parties, due %
the quick selection of amusement
the elimination of labor and time,
the correct and safe handling Of
records insuring the maximum life
and playing qualities of a record,
and its continuous playing if neces-
sary.
1t is our plan to decide on a name
n then TO organize a company TO
handle the entire patent right of
this machine, and we will give 100
shares of stock in this company to
the person who will suggest a name
that meets u approval. The stock
will have a value of $100 per
share.
We want a name which will dis
tinguish this machine and would be
a popular name throughout our
country, and due to the fact that
at the present time we have several
demands for this machine. it looks
like an assured success from the
word 60.
This machine is the result Of four
years of careful study and research
work. and we have reduced it in
size and pieces. and it carries with
it some very simple mechanics that
you see in ordinary life. and we will
continue to improve and develop the
machine until it will be possible
to make a selection from any part
of the DON without going directly
to the machine.
Mail your name and address with
the suggested name to Box 81, Tri-
bune, and we will publish our ans
wer, May oath. all names must be
received by May 22nd.
