ARTIST And WIFE
WALKING FROM [. |.
TO ARCTIC CIRCLE

Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Darling, pedes-
trian tourists, spent a short time in
Wolf Point last week en- route to a
point 410 miles north of Sitka, Alaska
of 10 miles north of the Arctic cir
Gle. According to Mr.. Darling they
made their start from Easthampton,
L. l., and have walked all the way
excepting a comparatively short dis
tance when they accepted ride on
account Of bad weather
Mr.. Darling might be called pro-
fessional hiker, this being his 22nd
year on the road. He has visited Al
states of the union and nearly every
city of over 10000. He has been
around the world three times, but of
course does not claim to have made
those journeys on foot. Since their
marriage a few years ago Mrs. Darl-
ing seems to have acquired the hik-
ing habit and ability to keep up with
her husband.
Mr. Darling is an artist and pays
EXPENSES by painting pictures suit
able for use on magazine covers.
Adventure is one Of the magazines
that frequently uses Mr.. Darling's
pictures.
Two years ago Mr.. Darling and his
wife made trip around "the horn
in the interests of Adventure in a
75-foot cruiser On their hikes they
carry remarkably complete outfits,
done up in rolls, including several
changes of clothing for each of them,
cooking utensils, pup tent and camp
outfit. Paddy, their dog, completes
their party.

VISIT OLD HAUNTS

PLAYED WITH INDIAN BOYS IN
1876 - FATHER BUILT

Motor From Coast To Seek Old
Friends - Find Country and
People Changed

Forty-eight years ago, in 1875, j.
M. Working of Augusta, ILL.,, entered
the employ of the Indian department
of the federal government and was
sent to Wolf Point, Montana, assign
ed to the job of erecting and running
saw mill and serving as boss car
penter at the Indian agency.
Last week the two sons of ]. M.
Working returned here to visit the
spot where as young boys they came
in contact with the West, then gen
timely wild and wooly, and mixed
with Indians who lived outside the
covers of dime novels.
Los Angeles-Wolf Point
1t is common enough for citizens of
this city to take motor tours with
points on the coast as their desti-
nation, but it is quite out of the or
dinary for residents of coast cities
to take pilgrimage with Wolf Point
as their objective.
J. w. Working, of Eugene, Ore,
and G. F. Working of Los Angeles,
the sons of j M. Working, long ago
determined that they would some
day visit Wolf Point, Montana, a
place that ali through the years of
their lives retained a firm hold on
their memories and had for them a
peculiar charm.
After At Years
Last Friday evening, accompanied
by their wives, and J. w. also by his
little daughter, they pitched camp on
the spot near the city power plant
usually selected by tourists. The
Working brothers were back at Wolf
Point and on the spot they say was
occupied by the pole frames on which
the Assiniboines laid their dead back
in the 70's. After almost half cen
tury they found it more difficult than
they had thought to pick up old con-
nections and find people who could
give them the information they crav
ed concerning early days. Recent
years have made deep inroads on the
ranks of the old pioneers. Sandy
Knorr, a name they remembered, Joe
whom they also recalled
as an army scout, Bill Sibbits, Jakey
Wirtz, Chief Redstone, all have pass
ed. Peter Mathews, Indian school
teacher in '76 is missing. Sherman
Cogswell, although he came here
eight years after the Workings had
gone, would have proved the most
man in the community
for them to meet, and no doubt has
an intimate knowledge of many of
5he people and events that the Work /
ngs recall But Mr.. Cogswell is

However, many of the local people

themselves well pleased with their

ubstance: eve wish you would say

PETER THE BOLD AT
HOTEL ANDERSON
BOARD WITH $4,000
TO co ON

Peter Ray Tenenko, or Tininenko,
who is referred to by the Valley
Tribune of Bainville as 'hard boil
ed young Russian" made business
lively with officials last week, having
broken jail at Bainville he breezed
into Wolf Point and endeavored to
make himself prominent through his
gifts as a conversationalist. He was
not entirely a stranger and some re-
called his visit of two years ago.
After Peter had made himself at
home around certain places, small
articles of value turned up missing.
He declared his intention of engag-
ing in business here, but finally decid-
ed to go and look Scobey over. After
making part Of the distance he hired
Milton Siljenberg to take him the
rest of the way by car and paid him
with 81 check on the Security State
Bank of this city. Along the road
he regaled the farmers with colorful
stores of his adventures.
Mr.. Siljenberg chanced to come to
Wolf Point the next day and on pre-
senting the check for payment found |
it was worthless, as Tenenko had no
money in the Security bank. Sheriff
Anderson was notified and got in
touch with the officials at Scobey |
who arrested Peter at the point of
gun<after he had shown considerable |
fight Sheriff Anderson and Deputy |
Council brought him back here and /
he was tried before Judge Gordon on
a charge of issuing worthless check.
Teneko admitted that he had issued
the check, but claimed he had told
it was no good. Mr.. Sill
ienberg remembered no such warn
ing.
Dangerous Character
Tenenko has a bad record both
here and at other places and is free
with his threats against officials, de-
.laring boldly that the next officer
who tried to arrest him would get
shot. These facts, together with the
need of discouraging the practice of
ioating bum checks pursuaded Judge
Gordon that a sentence of six months
n the county jail and fine of $500
would be light enough in this case.
The Judge says something must be
lone to call attention to the serious
less Of the offence of passing bad
hecks, and he thinks that few SEN
ences of six months and $500 fine
With the privilege of serving out the
inc at $500 day, may have some
influence on irresponsibles who be-
ONE quite numerous at about this
eason. +.
The officers gave him a free ride
o the county jail, and the janitor ,

Entertainment. !

Mr.. Calder. Mr.. President, the
beans that are referred to in this bill
were owned by one Eli N. Sonnenstrahl
He offered to sell them to the govern
ment at cost. The government refused
to take them; but in 1918, without no
tice, the government commandeered
these beans, and paid him some $22,-
600 for them. He claims that they
were worth $26,00O At any rate, the
government refused to pay him more
than they rendered him. Subsequently
however, n negotiations with the Navy
department, they offered to give him
an additional sum of $47266. He be
lieved he was entitled to something
like $2,851. He asks the right to sue

NIFTY bishops of the Protestant

Bishop Charles H. Brent, formerly
chief of the chaplain service, A. E. F.,
In asking the President for the release
Of all political prisoners" now serving
sentences. Bishop Brent's reasons for
advocating amnesty which the other
bishops indorse are:
1.-The nations with whom we were
associated in the war all promptly
granted an amnesty to their political
prisoners.
II am assured by competent law
yers who have examined the evidence
In the case that these men are in pris-
on solely for expression of opinion in
writing or speech.
'Ehis is a fitting moment in which
to grant them an unconditional amnes-
ty as an act of delayed justice.
my observation leads me to believe
that such a course would meet with
the unqualified support of the vast ma
iority of our citizens"

residue of war chest funds to the Le-
gion.
His most remarkable victory was
the recent ruling of the Ohio Court of
Appeals, awarding fund of $115,0OO
collected during the war to supply
comforts for the men Of the Eighty
third division, to the Legion.
The court ruled that the Legion is
the one representative organization Of
comforts belonging to the men who
served should come properly, to them
in their present organization. "As the
G. A. r. is to the Civil war, so the
American Legion is and will be the
outstanding military organization rep
resenting the ex-soldiers Of the World
war;" the opinion of the court stated.
Mr.. Bettman has started a member
ship campaign in Ohio with a goal Of
10000 Legionnaires. Ohio posts will
have exceptional inducements to beat
the bushes for new members, since the
war chest fund awarded by the Court
Of Appeals will be distributed among
the posts on basis of membership
on July 1.

personal friend of the late f. w. Gal

Gentlemen:

think that am entitled to be called
4 charter member of the Edgeworth
Smokers Club, as have used the Edge
worth Sliced Plug between twenty and
twenty-five years.
When I commenced using it was
selling hardware on the road. One OF my
customers who kept general store told
me that he had just received new to-
bacco and wished that 1 would try 1t.
He gave me a box for which he charged
me zoe. He made a mistake, as 1t was
selling at that time for 25c. liked it
SO we'll that made it a point to ask for
1t in every store in the different towns
that made; but few had it. The next
time that I called on this customer
bought six boxes, which would last until
got around again. / still continued to
ask foritin the different towns and tried
to induce the dealers to stock it.
In1906 or 1907 went to So. Carolina
and stayed there three years. / was sur
prised not to be able to get it there. At
that time was in Beaufort, S. c., and
made frequent trips to Savannah, Ga,
and Charleston, sc. and was unable to
get tin either of these cities, Finally /
ordered some direct from you and also
induced a dealer in Beaufort to stock it.
I have used it always for over twenty
years except occasionally When coulo
not get it. I figure that have smoked
over 1000 of the Csc boxes, which have
cost for the last few years 35c. For at
least five years have not bought cigar.
Have had some given to me, but they do
not take the place of the old pipe filled
with Edgeworth.
I am sixty-one years of age and still
think that it is the best tobacco on the
market. / don't think there is man
living who has smoked any more Edge
worth than I. What do you think?
Yours truly,
