OPENS new CORPS
CAPT. STEVENS THANKS PEOPLE

The large attendance, as well as the
generous donations, was so generally
satisfactory, and the interest in the
opening services of the new Bozeman
corps of the Salvation Army, held
Saturday and Sunday at the corner
of Main and Tracy, and at the Saliva
ton Army hall, 3O4 East Main street,
was so keen that Captain F. Sevens
and Lieut.. B. M. Humphrey, officers
in charge, wish to express through
the columns of The Bozeman Courier
their heartfelt appreciation to the peo-
pie of Bozeman and the Gallatin val
ley.

Captain Stevens says kettles will
soon be placed at the most prominent

BELGRADE PUPILS

The Belgrade schools celebrated
Education week by a special program
last Thursday. The first part of the
program was a parade of the school
children, who marched from the school
building down the main street of the
town. The procession was led by the
first grade children, dressed as little
soldiers, carrying flags. They bore a
banner with the slogan among Us
May Be Future Presidents" They
represented patriotism. Then followed
the second and third grades, dressed
in overalls and sunbonnets, represent
ing the farm act. Each grade fol-
lowed in turn, stopping at intervals
to give spirited yells for their teach
ers and for a gym. After the grade
children, marched the manual train

With the opening last Saturday of
the Bozeman corps of the Salvation
Army, neither Captain William E.
Hopper, or first assisting training
cadet Hattie Hamilton, of Livingston,
will make any further weekly trips to
this city. Miss Hamilton had made
an enviable record for sales of War

weekly paper in southcentral Mon
tana, as a result of which she re-
ceived honorable mention in an article
in a recent number of the War Cry.
The story was accompanied by a pic

Of very grave Importance to Butte,
as well as to the state at large, is the
closing down of four of the Anaconda
company's mines, which was done
without previous notification or warn
ming, on the evening of the End inst.
This wholly unexpected action on the
part of the Anaconda management, it
is reported, throws out of employment
at least 800 miners and thus deprives
them of the means of supporting
themselves and families, at least for
the time being, perhaps for the entire
winter.

NEGRO IS HELD FOR MEMPHIS MANS DEATH
Bandit Stays Merchant And Wounds
 His Woman Companion

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 24-One negro was under detention tonight for question" in connection with the killing early today of W. O. Spencer, chain store manager, and the wound ing of Miss Laura Wheaton Johnson, domestic science teacher in d Mem- phis school by a highwayman, be- leved to be a negro, and in the opin- ion of city and county police off cials, probably the same man who shot to death Duncan Waller, May field, Ky, salesman, and Mrs. Ruth Me Elwain Tucker at Berclair, a Memphis suburb, last January.
 No charge has been placed against the man now under arrest and it was stated he was brought to police headquarters merely to be questioned.
 Spencer and Miss Johnson were fired on without warning, when the automobile in which they were riding was stopped momentarily on coun- try road near Memphis shortly after midnight. Spencer was struck in the head by one of the bullets and almost Instantly killed. Miss Johnson was wounded In the neck. The highway man fled, after rifling Spencer's pockets and stripping Miss Johnson's fingers of rings.
 Similarity of the methods employed by the slayer of Waller and Mrs. Tucker and the highwayman who killed Spencer caused the police to advance the theory that the same man is responsible for both crimes. In both instances robbery was the apparent motive.

 States Attorney Robert E. Crowe's promise to carry the probe to the limit has net been forgotten, it was announced.

REMARK OF SOLICITOR IN CASE HELD PROPER
Supreme Court Reverses Appeals Court In Tyler Trial
 STATE CAPITAL BUREAU1
 THE AGE-HERALD {
Montgomery. Ala. May 24 J


 The supreme fourt in decision an- nounced Thursday reversed the de- cision of the court of appeals in the case of Lon Tyler versus the state, and remanded the case for a new hearing before the court of appeals, granting the writ of certoirari sought by the state.
 The case was originally tried in the Jefferson county circuit court and was appealed to the court of appeals. Tyler had been convicted of murder in lower court, and the court of appeals held that the trial judge committed reversible error in holding that the circuit solicitor did not go beyond the proper bounds of legal argument when he made the assertion to the jury that We have had too much killing around here, don't you know we have? Do you know why?" The brief submitted to the supreme court on behalf of the state by Attorney General Harwell C.. Davis stated that: "We think it en- tirely clear that the court of appeals has erred in this ruling. It is a mat ter of common knowledge as shown by statistics that there Is too much murder in Alabama, In Jefferson county, and that there is too much Of all sorts of crime. This was a mere personal observation by the solicitor based on such common knowledge" The supreme court upheld the state's S contention and reversed and remand ed the case.
