Waters tried scraping them off
by driving under low branches, but
that didn't work and he tried break

was his mistake.
The bees took up their weapons
and went to war. waters and the
horses tried to leave the field OF

Then before the bees could be

DEFENDS FLAG
LOWERING
FOR DOG
Maine Governor Resents G. A.
RS Attitude Toward
Honor for Pet.
Rx International News Service.

AUGUSTA, Me-. July 5.-Consid-
cradle criticism has been voiced
here by the G. A. r. and other
military organizations over the
declaration Of Governor Perclval
Baxter recently that he would
esteem it an honor when his time
comes" to have the same Capitol
flags that were lowered for his dog,
Garry, lowered for him.
Governor Baxter ordered the
flags on the state House at half
mast when his pet dog, Garry, died.
In q statement defending his
action the governor said:
ut is my desire and my plan to
have the flags lowered during the
period of Garry's journey homeward
to the graves of his ancestors at
my island home, and this desire was
fulfilled and this plan executed.
"It may be that the comments
made upon my action will arouse
our people to a new realization or
their responsibilities to dumb ami
mails. If this be so, one of my pur.
poses will be accomplished.
"I firmly believe that when the
men and women of this State and
nation think through what I have
done they will seS that lesson in
the appreciation of dumb animals
has been taught and that my act
heightens the significance of our
flag as an emblem of human
achievement that has been made
possible largely through the faithful
service of dumb animals.
Esteems it an Honor.
''I : should esteem it an honor
when my time comes to have the
same Capitol flags that were low
cred for my dog, Garry, lowered
for me. 1t is my prayer that I
always may be as unselfish and rs
loyal to my Master, State and
nation as Garry was to me.

"In other words, by that vote,

council refused to stand for the en-

are encouraging the lawless per-

VIDA PLANNING BIG
Time JULY FOURTH
ALL REGULATION CELEBRATION
STUNTS AND THEN SOME
FIGHT NEWS BY RADIO

The people of Vida are making
elaborate plans to entertain and care
for the large crowd that will gather
to enjoy their Fourth of July cele-
bration. Wolf Point and a number
of other towns in this part of the
state are not putting on a celebration
this year, and for that reason many
of the people from these towns will
undoubtedly spend the Fourth at
Vida.
The committee in charge of affairs
say that it's bound to be big day,
beginning with an address at ten
O'Clock, which will be followed by
races of various sorts, a tug of war
between Sand Creek and Nickwall,
a ball game between Vida and Ham
bin and bucking and steer riding
contests. In the evening there will
be grand display of fireworks fol-
lowed by big dance for which the
Vida Syncepators will furnish the
music.
Special attention is going to be
paid to making women and children
comfortable during the day. Rest
rooms will be provided with cots and
other conveniences, and mothers of
small children need not stay at home
but can bring the children along and
know that there will be a place for
them to lie down and rest. An ad-
dition has just been built onto Vida
hall, making it the largest dance hall
in an inland town in this section of
the state There is large basement
and it is estimated that in case of
storm coming up, 1000 people can
be sheltered.
Dempsey and Gibbons fight returns
will be received by radio as the rounds
are fought.
Meals and light lunches will be
served during the day and evening.

gram will be found in next weeks

DON'T STEP ON GAS OR
SPEED COP Ill GET YOU

'fIt makes no difference whether ii
is a Rolls-Royce or a little tin liz
zette of home manufacture, speed
ing is speeding, and it's got to stop, y
says Chief of Police Ed Nichol, and
he is ably backed up in his assertion
by Assistant Chief Jim Yandell. "We
aren't laying for anyone, and we
aren't playing any favorites, but auto
drivers have got to watch their step
and not step too hard on the gas,
or they'll get pinched." And get
ting pinched means fine of five
The state law provides that the
maximum speed inside of city limits
shall be eight miles an hour, but the
council has modified this to ten
miles in Wolf Point, and after that
the lid gets clamped down, tight.
There are certain streets in the city
that are used for regular speedways
by thoughtless drivers, and numerous
complaints have been made, particu-
larly in the north part of town, by
parents who fear for the safety of
their children because of the care
lessness of car drivers. That child
ren should be taught not to play on
the street or public highway, would
not lessen the responsibility of the
driver, should an accident occur.
Another thing which has caused
considerable trouble and a number
of arrests during the past week is
the fact that many car owners have
not put 1923 license tags on their
cars Offenders that have been ar
rested have been warned to get tags
on their cars within a certain time.
Other matters in which auto driv-
ersl are very careless, says Mr.. Nichol,
are in parking their cars near the
curbing, and in turning around at
the itersection of streets, etc.
The Herald expects to print in the
next issue set of regulations con-
corning automobile driving, etc. In
the mean time, drivers who are in
doubt concerning what is or is not
permissible, may find out by consult
ing the statutes and the city ordi-
nances, and perhaps by so doing may
save themselves paying a fine, for

VIDA TAKES GAME FROM
HAMBLIN-SCORE 1919

Hamblin and Vida played an excit-
ing game of ball at Vida last Sun
day, resulting in 10-9 score in Vida's
favor, in the tenth inning. The teams
were pretty evenly matched and the
game kept the spectators on their
toes most Of the time.
Vida scored two in the second in
ming. Then Hamblin got four men
safely across the plate and the Ham
bin rooters, of whom there were a
big delegation, nearly went wild. AT
the end Of the ninth the score stood
9 to 9, and tenth inning had to be
played.
Funk and Mccartney were the bat
terry for Hamblin and C. Dye and Joe
Schillinger for Vida. Dye was hurt
and Schillinger took his place on the

in his place. The game was witnessed
by crowd of about 400.

WIN FOUR STRAIGHT
KING PITCHES ANOTHER NICE
GAME, GETTING IA STRIKE
OUTS-13 HITS

Once more the Wolves are victor
ious, making the fourth straight game
that they have won. The next game
scheduled for the Wolves is with
Poplar on the oath. The roundhouse
men will play the Wiiston carmen
here on the 18th. The game is called
for a 80.
The scores came as follows: jacob
opened the Wolves half of the first
with clean single to center, scoring
a few minutes later on hits by Sham
ley and Crockett, with Tripp out at
first thrown in. This ended the scor-
ing, both pitchers going along in fine
shape, until again in the Wolves
half of the fits Williams opened with
a sharp bingle to right, Eaton fol-
lowed with another wallop to left.
King advanced both runners by lay
ing a nice sacrifice down the third
base line, being put out at first. Then
jacob got a life on an error by
Brindlyson, scoring Williams. Then
good old Lee Chouinard erred at short
and Hewett at second kicked one
around to keep up the good work,
and by the time the smoke cleared
away and Brindlyson made his second
error of the inning, Williams, Eaton,
jacob, Stanley and Tripp had cross
ed the pan.
Opheim got their one run in the
ninth after one was out King, en-
joying nice lead, was taking things
easy, when he made one too good for
Wells, who got hold of it for two
bases and scored a moment later on
a hit by Patterson and an error by
Crockett. King then struck out
Zimmer for the final out of the game.

RIDE 'EM SIOUX POSTERS

That the Wolf Point Stampede this
year will be one of the biggest ever

T. R. |. H. SECRETARY
In WOLF POINT TODAY

A. L. Jordan of Columbia Falls,
secretary for Montana for'the Roose-
velt Highway association, was in the
city today in the interests of that or
ganization. In reviewing the work
that is being done this year in Mon
tana on the highway, Mr. Jordan
stated that almost a million dollars
of federal money would be spent in
Montana this year on the Roosevelt
highway. A large part of this work
is being done in the western part of
the state. There is one project under
way between Libby and Rexford, an
other through Roosevelt pass and a
third from Belton east to Essex along
the line of the Glacier National Park.
The contract was recently let for
graveling a stretch of road near
Brockton and in the near future the
contract for the road between Nashua
and Frazer will be awarded. 1t is
expected that this will cost in the
neighborhood Of $150,000 The road
through Hill and Toole counties is
practically completed. Of the zoo
miles across the state, but 272 re-
main to be graded.
Mr. Jordan says that he finds peo-
pie all along the highway very much
interested in the work that is being
done and anxious to see its compile
ton. He finds people on both sides
of the mountains eager to have the
highway completed SO that they can
drive across the mountains in cars.
He has had some very enthusiastic
meetings ar towns ALONG the line.

One hundred dollars fine and costs
and 100 days in jail was the sentence
passed upon c. L. Smith of this city
yesterday by Judge George Bourquir
in federal court at Great Falls. Smith
was on trial charged with violating
the liquor laws, the alleged violations
having taken place about a year ano
a half ago.
1t was Necessary to try the case
twice because of one stubborn juror
who refused to concur with the other
jurors in verdict. The case was out
80 hours with no decision reached
and new trial with a new jury was
necessary. The second trial took
place yesterday John L. Slattery
was the prosecuting attorney and H.
N. Marion, of this city defended
Smith. J. B. Randall, Alphena Old
rock and Mrs. Minnie Headdress
were witnesses in the case.
A Little History
1t will be recalled that on Decem-
Der 21, 1921, Superintendent Kitch
of the agency, E. J. Cody and w. j.
Kearney, then deputy sheriff and
chief of police respectively, raided
two stills and placed four men under
arrest. One still was found on the
VIM. Sibbitts place just west of town
and warrants were served upon Sibb-
tits and c. L. Smith in connection
with this seizure.
Those arrested were arraigned be-
fore J. B. Randall, then U. S. Com
missioner here. Three of the men,,
including Smith, were placed under
$500 bonds, but Sibbitts, who dis
claimed any connection with the busi-
ness, maintaining that Smith had
brought the home brew outfit to his
home and had promised to take 1T
away and had been repeatedly order
ed to do so by Sibbitts, who was only
put under 5000 bonds.
The two men implicated in con-
nection with the other still were
tried in federal court, sentenced and
served their terms in jail, but the
Smith matter was complicated by the
fact that Sibbitts, whose testimony
would have been important in the
trial of Smith, died before the case
came up for trial.
The Sentence
The Great Falls Leader of yester-
day says: Chas. L. Smith was found
guilty on three counts of violating the
Volstad act in the home of William
aged pioneer of the state,
at Wolf Point, by the second jury
drawn in his case at 2:15 p. m. this
He was sentenced to

Dump Grounds
The clerk reported that short
time ago Major Kitch came to Wolf
Point in response to the complaint of
1.-THE Indians that refuse was being
dumped upon the Indina cemetery.
The major called upon Police Judge

terry we found that refuse was being

terv grounds and also over other prop
erty and very little on the grounds
