turned their verdict in shortly ore
than an hour. Seagraves was released

his home on the night lie thefts were
committed and invited him to take a
ride. Both of them drank quantity
of moonshine whiskey, and consumed
all they had with them while making
the trip toward the Stevens ranch,
which Danner afterwards learned was
to be their objective
Danner, in detailing parts Of the
trip, said that after all their booze
had been drank, Seagraves drove into
certain place on the road, stopped
the car and both of them went to
strawstack in the field. There they
found cached a quantity of moonshine
from which Seagraves filled up 9
demijohn with about half gallon o.
liquor.
This was on the night of March %
1928, and within few minutes aftea
continuing their journey they drov'

and Aunt in Spokane. Oldest
Girl Already There

Mr.. and Mrs. ]. E. Oberholser, of
Spokane, Wash, have become the
good angels in the case of the Danner
children and will take all four of
them to live in Spokane. On Satur-

will be taken later by Mr.. and Mrs.
Oberholser.
Mr.. Oberholser is a jobber in Spo-
kane, a man of well-to-do circum-
stances, and the brother of banners
first wife. He will be enabled to
give the children a better home than
what they have hitherto known.
Arrangements were made for Flor

full injury which the girl suffered al

LIVESTOCK TOUR IS
INTERESTING MANY
Two Day Trip to be Made to Many
Pure-bred Stock Farms in
Gallatin County

The livestock tour of Gallatin coun-
ty purebred farms, which is being
planned by County Agent Bodley for
August 7 and 8, will be something
different from anything ever before
attempted in Gallatin county. 1t is not
meant for a mere pleasure jaunt; it
is no advertising scheme for the
breeders. 1t is really a postgraduate
school in livestock management
crowded into two days time.
We've got to get away from ex-
elusive grain farming. Everyone
knows that who stops to consider.
Over-production of grain is what is
bringing so many farmers to the
verge of bankruptcy. We've got to
keep on farming, at least most OF us
have, and there seems to be no other
way out than the production Of live
stock.
In this tour a short visit will be
made to a representative herd of pure
bred livestock of practically every
breed represented IN Gallatin county.
The breeder will be called upon to
give a five-minute talk on his ami
mails, their blood lines and the meth
ods of production he has found to be
most successful. Mr.. Bodley has
asked these breeders to put forth
their most practical suggestions the
suggestions that will be Of interest to
the practical farmers of the county
1t stands to reason that these mer
who make a business of good stock
have found out how to care for them
properly. 1t should follow that theil
suggestions can be adapted to your
own fam.
Every farmer in the county is cor
daily invited to make this trip. L
is not a get-together meeting OF the
pure-bred breeders, but a gathering
of Gallatin valley farmers to learl
something from each other.
There is another phase OF the ques
ton. Most of us do not know wha
good livestock there is in the county
We read of this man or that takinI
p few prizes at the state fair, bu
when it comes to getting a ram or

for every farmer to see these pure
bred animals in their home garb, nc
fitted for show, but in everyday cor
dition. He can learn what they al

ROTARY PICNIC
FOR LOCAL BOYS
Club Will Entertain All BOzeman
Boys Between s and 10
Years

At the Rotary luncheon held yester-
day noon it was suggested by Presi-
dent Ralph Schuyler that the club
entertain all the boys in Bozeman be-
tween the ages of 8 and 10 at a
picnic at Bozeman Hot Springs some
time during the month of August.
The suggestion evidently met with
the warm approval of the club and
before the meeting adjourned full
program of sports and entertainment
for the afternoon was tentatively
planned. It is estimated that some
200 boys will enjoy the picnic.
AS yet no definite date has been
set for the fair but it will probably
be held about the middle of August
It is planned to have ball game be-
tween nine of the Rotarians and the
fastest of the younger talent in Boze-
man. The boys will have to go some
to beat the talent that the Rotary can
put in the field. AS yet no team has
been selected for the organization but
there is a wealth of material from
which to draw. Jack Collins of the
Northern Pacific is said to have re-
fused major league berth recently
as backstop, while Bill Berthot IS

LEAVES FOR HOME
North Dakota Man Charged With OBJ
tanning Money Under False
Pretenses Gets Bail

Chris P. Burnstad, former North
Dakota cattleman, who was held at
the county jail on a charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenses, was
released Thursday when he furnished
cash bail to the amount of $4,000 to
insure mis- appearance at his trial this
fall. Immediately after securing bail
Mr.. Burnstad left for his home in
Burnstad, N. D.
Burstad is charged with committing
the alleged crime in Gallatin county
in August, 1919, when he bought a
number of steers in the Willow Creek
country an dobtained the money for
their purchase from ugene Thorn
dixie, of Willow Greek, acting as agent
for the st. Paul loan company.
The revival of the case after four
yesrs by County Attorney E. A. Pc
terson resulted in Sheriff Jim Smith
journeying to the Dakota town and re-
turning with the defendant. Mr.
Burnstad appeared to be anxious tt
come here to answer the charges, anC
refused to take advantage of forcing
extradition.
The sheriff returned to Bozemal
with his prisoner Thursday, July II
and the following day he was ar
raigned. He pleaded not guilty an
bail bonds were fixed.
Since that time Mr.. Burnstad ha
been busy trying to secure bail amon
his friends in the western part of tn
county. This failing, he got into com
munication with his friends in Mort

in cash in each case.
Saturday evening Storts told Hop.

the gas and oil supply of the car, an
had Hopper carry extra supplies Q
, oil and gas in cans.
