Officers Pitch in
and Uncover Still
Built In Haystack

Butte, April 27.-The old saw about
looking for q needle in q haystack"
evidently inspired "dry" officers who
welded pitchforks to capture one of
the most carefully secreted stills found
near here since moonshining became
an industry. It was in the center of
an innocent-looking haystack and was
located after q pitchfork had come in
contact with a barrel Of "white mule
yelled BY great piles Of Montana's best
hay.
The catch was made on a ranch near
the Northern Pacific steel bridge
south of the county poor farm and re-
suited in the arrest of Martin Moran
and the c0nfiscation of 40 gallons Of
moon and about 400 gallons of mash.
Another still, buried in the ground,
was located in an adjoining building.
1t was hack on the farm" labor
for Prohibition Officer Hotter and De-
teetives Rodda and Gerry of the police
when the still was found nestled in q
tiny o in the very center Of the
stack. Discovery Of a moon barrel
after prodding with a pitchfork led the
officers to pitch more hay and uncover
an opening to a tunnel that led to the
center of the stack. Crawling in the
tunnel the officers came 10 a door
which, opened, revealed q small room
about eight by 10 feet, which housed
the still. Several barrels Of mash
that were working" were also found
in the room, the police said.
When nobody was found on the
premises on the first trip the officers
returned later in the evening and ar
rested Moran. said to be the owner of
theh place, while he was on the road.
His bonds were fixed at $500.

First Shipment
of Hungarian Birds
Arrive in Helena

Helena, April 27.-Hungarian part
ridges, Il part Of a shipment Of more
than 1000 birds which left Hamburg,
Germany, April l., on board the Pana-
man. for Montana have arrived in the
capital city and some Of the specimens
can be seen in the show window of a
Main street cigar store.
There were $40 pairs altogether
shipped from Europe for Montana, but
IL birds were lost in transit, whether
at sea or between here and New York
city, is not known. The birds have
been purchased by the state game and
fish commission TO replenish the game
stock lost by indiscriminate cunning
in the early days.
This species Of bird has been tried
out in the east but the experiments
have not met with satisfactory results,
but in Washington the results have
been highly gratifying. These birds.
it is said, are fast multiplying in Spo-
kane county. Washington, and many
have migrated into Idaho. The ship
ment to Montana is said to be the larg-
est shipment of Hungarian partridges
TO America. Some of the birds were
shipped at New York direct to other
parts of the state.

Moonshiners Borrow
House In Anaconda
While Owner Is Away

Anaconda. April 27.-Apparently
property rights are no longer taken
into consideration by those determined
to 90 into-the moonshine business.
When Frank McElhennie left Ana
conda several months ago to give his
attention to business nItters else
where, he left his house at 1903 East
Third street in custody of the Abbott
company.
When Mr.. Abbott unlocked the place
Saturday to show it to a prospective
tenant, he discovered five barrels Of
raisin and peach mash stored in one
of the rooms. Further search dis
closed several other articles said to be
used in the manufacture of moonshine.
1t was apparent the owners of the
layout had never attempted { o operate
a still in the house. but the appear
ance of the mash, and the presence Of
other articles, gave rise to the sup
position that operations were to start
within a day or so.
Mr.. Abbott notified the authorities
of his find, and the stuff was carted
to the city dump. where it was
DESTROYED.

The HQskin Letter 50 . : Rs:sz
EARLY POLITICAL INDICATIONS.

cent Of the. normal democratic
to republican politicians.
Some Reaction Expected
Some reaction from the tremendous
republican victory of 1920 was natur-
ally expected. Then republicans won
the house by a tremendously increased
majority, and President Harding was
swept into office by the greatest
majority ever heard Of in this oun
try. His majority in the popular vote
was greater, for instance, than the
total vote received by Woodrow Will
son in 1916. when the republican vote
was split between Taft and Roose-
welt.
Politicians whose views carry weight
look for a reduction in the republican
house membership. While they would
not car to say so publicly, the present
majority in the lower branch Of con-
discipline, they contend. because a
wrong way on a party measure now is
no cause for a moments worry.
1t is an open secret in Washington
that the democratic national commit
tee is beginning to be a little fearful
that the apathy of republican voters
this ear may result in a democratic
majority in the house. With an eye
to the future this is not desired by
the democratic organization. In order
to have q good ground for a general
attack in 1924, when another presi-
Dental election occurs, issues would
be clearer if the party now out of
power could duck responsibility for all
measures. This could not be true il
the democrats should win the house
this fall.
This is the situation as it is gen.
orally viewed In Washington at the
present time. About six months re-
main before the election in November.
Within that period it is possible, of
course, that congress may be able to
redeem itself somewhat in the eyes
of the people. However, there are
pessimists in the republican ranks in
congress who declare that the coun-
try expected a republican administra-
ton to perform some miracle of legis-
laton to put the country on it's feet
In a business way almost over night,
reducing taxes and bringing prosperity.
Some of these men look forward con-
fidently, but naturally with no joy, to
being retired to private life. II bust
ness should have n sharp revival
within that period, the prospects for
many present members of congress
would revive with the business boom.

Glacier Threatens

Missoula. April 27.--A huge glacier
near st. Regis which threatens to

proximately $50 feet, is about 80 feet
In thickness and extends back up the
mountainside for a distance of from
$50 to 200 feet" said Supervisor
White. ut moves forward a little
each day, necessitating the blasting
away of a portion from time to the

less unusually warm weather comes at
once, which may mean a freshet."

Mid-Northern Takes
Harlow Oil Holdings
to Complete Well
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Harlowton. April 27.-The Mid
Northern OIL company closed the deal
this week whereby it takes over the
Big Elk dome holdings Of the Harlow
Oil & Gas company, the Liberty Oil
company and the Two Dot Oil com
pany, to develop on a 60-40 basis. This
makes a block of nearly 10000 acres IT
which about $4,000 is owned by Harlow
Oil & Gas, and it is said to be of
the most compactly blocked fields in
the state.
The Mid-Northern agrees to finish
the present we'll which is down at a
depth of 1886 feet and if the outlook
justifies, to develop the entire field. All
machinery and equipment is on the
ground as it was left when the well
was closed down for lack of funds. The
Mid Northern expects to put a drilling
crew in the field by May I.
The deal has been pending for sew
eral months but owing to many legal
entanglements, it was not consummated
until this week.
