Victor T. Armstrong and family,
formerly residents Of Bozeman and
well known in the Gallatin valley,
survived the earthquake in Japan and
are safe, according to dispatch from
Washington D. G. to the Anaconda
Standard last week. The dispatch
gave the name as B. T. Armstrong
but there is little doubt but that 1t
referred to the Bozeman family. 1t
was also related that Mr.. and Mrs
R. H. Perkins, also of Montana, were
safe from the tolls of the quake.
Mrs. Oscar Tretsven of this city Is
a sister of Mrs. Armstrong and saiC
that she didn't doubt but that the
family referred to was the one for.
merly living in this city, regardless
Of the difference in the initials Of
Mr.. Armstrong and those given in the
dispatch.
While the families escaped tn,
earthquake, doubtless they suffered
loss of personal effects and belong
ings. Mrs. Tretsven, with few kin,
friends who have offered their help
is preparing box of winter clothinj

nine years, a boy five years and

Bang-Bang-Bang!

Gallatin valley echoed and re-
echoed Saturday morning to the tune
of many shot guns with the opening
of the season for the hunting OF
grouse, sage hens, prairie chickens
and pheasants. The season opened
Saturday morning and many hunters
took to the field with gun and dog,
declaring a ten day war on coveys OF
birds that they had Spotted" earlier
in the year. The season ends Monday
evening, September "a.
Saturday was fine day for hunt
ing but many sportsmen were unable
to get out on the opening day. De-
spite the foggy weather and some
rain Sunday, however, the city was
practically devoid of everyone who
owned or could borrow a shot gun.
The first couple of days hunting
was reported as excellent by many OF
those who went out. Gradually the
birds took to the timber though, and
today are making themselves as scarce
as possible. The birds learn the
meaning of a gun in a day, it seems
and take advantage of every oppor'
tunity to keep under cover.
Sunday many hunters went out will

By vicious attack and a right
hook to the chin 81 seconds after the
second round had started, Jack Demp-
sey, champion heavyweight of the
world, retained his title Friday night
at the Polo Grounds in New York,
flooring Louis Angel Firpo, pride of
Argentina.
During the first round the champion
floored the "Wild bull of the Pampas"
five times. Firpo was floored again
twice in the second round, before he
went down the third time for a sleep
on the canvas.
The bout throughout was character
lied by a viciousness and ferocity of
attack that has never before been
seen in the prize ring-and probably
never will be again. The two maulers
went at it hammer and tongs from
the first gong and had thousands Of
fans on their feet all the time during
the three minutes and 81 seconds that
4 the battle lasted.
4 At the end of the first round the
challenger was groggy and bleeding,
suffering visibly from the attack of
the champion. He had been flOored
