Beaten, Burned
Dies Of Injuries
Wolf Point Indian Victim of Brutal
Attack; Three Suspects Nabbed

Poplar, Nov. 30th-Injuries suf-
fered at the hands of assailants who,
attacking him while he was driving
home, gave him a brutal beating,
wrapped him in a quilt, overturned
the wagon box upon him and set it
on fire, resulted in the death here of
Ernest Pipe, an Indian who lived near
Wolf Point. l..
When Pipe was discoveredn the
next morning, both legs were burned
to crisp, his head bore an ugly
wound and severe bruises, but he
was still living. He died at 8 o'clock
the following morning. He was con-
,scous just before death and talked
to his brother, telling him what he
could about the attack and who his
assailants were. He said he had no
recollection of what occurred after
he was struck on the head and did
not realize that he was burned.
Peter Martin, John Joshua and a
young fellow by the name of Garfield
are implicated in the attack, Martin
and Joshua having been arrested and
lodged in the county Jail Reports
say that all the men had been drink
ing but so far no other reason has
been developed for the attack.

Seal Sale Now On
tuberculosis Association Sends 5000
Towards Expenses of Clinics

| The Montana tuberculosis Asso-
citation has sent a check for $4,000
to help pay expenses of our clinics
for tonsils and adenoids held last
summer.
While it was generally understood
that McCone County paid all expenses
for these clinics, we must not lose
sight of the fact that it was the TuDer.
culosis Association who started the
movement by sending their health
nurse, Mrs. Crockett, who examined
all school children in the spring of
1922, and found a large number of
them who needed an operation.
Mrs. Crockett's expenses were paid
by the Association and now we have,
received check for $4,000. to help
pay for our clinics. which amount
has been turned over to the County
Treasurer.
The 1928 Christmas Seal Sale is
now on. Last year this county's
quota was $4,000 worth of seals. OF
that we sold s124.O0. worth. This
year we are asked to sell $4,000
worth of stamps in this county. Now
let us try to dispose of every one.
thereby helping to promote health in
our state, and also giving the children
in McCone County better chance.
Two thirds of the amount for seals
sold comes back to us for that pur-
pose. BUY THE XMAS SEALS.
That means something and gives
returns.

special benefits accrue you will get
your share. which will be governed
by the number OF pounds OF cattle you
have shipped during the time you
have been a member OF the associa-
ton. But remember you are not a
member until you have asked to be-
come one. Therefore the sooner you
get post card, write on 1t. stating
that you wish to become a member
OF the Askov Live Stock Shipping
Association and sending it to the
secretary the better you are off.
Please drop a post card to the secre-
tary so that he has something TO
show.
The board OF directors have caused
the above article to be published in

of clearing up the above mentioned
misunderstanding and to be sure Of
not having any trouble in the future
in regard to memberships.

NOTICE TO LIVE STOCK
SHIPPERS
You Must Declare Your Intentions
II You Desire Membership In
Askov Live Stock Ship
ping Association.

The board OF directors wish to call
shippers or those farmers who ship
live stock through the Askov Live
Stock Shipping Association that there
is more or less misunderstanding in
regard TO who is a member and who
is not a member OF the Askov Live
Stock Shipping Association. There
fore the board of directors wish to
make II plain and understood. namely
this: All live stock shippers that
ship live stock through this associa-
ton and have had their name written
In the book OF the Askov Live Stock
Shipping Association are members,
and all those who have not given In
their names and requested to become
members are not members regardless
whether or not they ship any stock
II seems that there are some who
have the idea that just as soon as a
man ships some live stock through
the association then he becomes a
member, which is wrong. He or she
is not member until the party has
requested TO be so. There are no fees
to be paid. All that is required is
that you must be governed by the
associations rules and bylaws and
have your name put down as a mem
Der. There must be limit some
where.
OF course anyone Is welcome to
ship their stock through the associa-
ton and still not be member, but In
case that the Askov Live Stock Ship
ping Association declares a dividend,
as Il expects TO do, (the association
has accumulated little money! then
those farmers that have shipped
cattle through the association and
have not become members, cannot ex-
pect to get any part OF said dividend.
Therefore you are all invited to send
in your names % C. Flint, secretary.
and become members Of the associa-
