WHEAT BUYING
! BY j. s. HELD
i FUTILE
Chicago Board of Trade Head
Says ''Gould Plan" Will Be
of No Benefit.
BY H. C. HAMILTON.
Cosmopolitan News Service.

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-Plans to put
the Government in the wheat bust
ness again, through the appropria
ton of. $4,000. 900 with which tc
supply a long time credit to Ger
many with which to buy American
wheat, are meeting with small en-
enlargement in the Middle West
and Northwest, where most of the
American grain is raised.
The plan, known as the Gould
plan, Is arousing only apathet1c i'll
terest among wheat growers, and
Is being criticised among dealers IN
the commodity as far fetched and
not likely to result in real relief
to anyone except, perhaps, a few
nillers, who hold wheat, or specu-
lators.
President John =. Stream. head
Of the Chicago Board of Trade, the
seat of the nations greatest trading
in futures, frankly does not believe
the Government viii get behind the
enterprise.
1.-THE idea that an advance in
the price of wheat now would help
the farmer is fallacious," said
Stream. Farmers are now holding
80 per cent of their winter wheat
and at least so per cent OF Their
spring wheat. This proves that the
farmers who are holding their wheat
are not not pressed for cash. Those
farmers who needed ready money
are the ones who have thrown their
wheat SURPRISES on the market"

Smith STARTS FIRST
MOVE FOR DEFENSE
Demurrer in Danner Divorce Case Is
First Action of Counsel
for Defense

The first move in the legal battle
which will be fought in the fall term
of court around S. o. Danner, who is
being held without bail in the county
Jail, accused of the murder of John
and Florence Sprouse, on November
IA, 1920, was made last week by JUS
tin M. Smith, attorney for Danner,
when he filed a demurrer in the di-
vOrce suit started by Iva Danner, who
is seeking a separation from her hus-
band, S. o. Danner. If the demur-
rer is sustained by the court the
states star witness will be affected
by the ruling, for the law is to the
effect that a wife can give little
damaging testimony concerning her
husband.
Mrs. Danner started divorce pro-
ceedings June 9 last, the day follow
ing her remarkable confession impli-
eating and charging her husband with
the double murder of the Sprouses
June she piloted Sheriff Jim Smith
and a party of officials to the grave
site on the Yellowstone trail at Cen,
trail Park, where the two bodies
which were afterwards identified as
John and Florence Sprouse, were un
earthed.
In her bill for divorce, Mrs. Dannel
made the charge of cruelty. A copy o.
the complaint was given to Dame
the same day. That evening, in con
versation with newspaper men, Dan
ner said he couldn't understand wh,
"she has made the statement that
killed those people at Central Park,
but he continued, and produced tn
copy of the complaint for divorce
"that is the reason why she said wha
she did. She's tired of me, and want
to get rid of me. There's anothe
fellow she likes better"
During the entire conversation q
that time, Danner would refer bac
to the divorce bill, and several time
said in substance: 'I never did any
thing to mama (Mrs. Danner) tha
she should want to get divorce frol
me. l don't care about the othe
charges against me (meaning tn
murder charges). What makes m
feel bad is that she wants to get RI
of me. If she gets her divorce,

No, it should not be called a pleasure
jaunt.
When Mr.. Harding first proposed
his trip to Alaska, it was suggested
by many that he utilize it for cam

clared he would cancel the trip rather
than allow the expedition to SAVIOR

the trip as president of the United
States, that partisan politics be en-
tirely eliminated, and that reception
committees be urged to include MEM
bers of all political parties and all
religious faiths.
If, then. any accomplishments are
TO be expected from this presidential
journey here in the west, they must
be the result of the meeting that has
taken place between the chief execu-
tive of the LAND and its private citi-
zens, and the beneficiaries will be
the government on the one side and
the public on the other.

REMARKABLE BONE
FOUND BY BENEPE.

A remarkable petrified bone that
closely resembles the main bone in
the human forearm was found on the
Benepe ranch some seven miles south
west Of Manhattan Saturday when an
excavation was being made for a wesl.
The bone was buried under % feet
of sand that had partially cemented
and hence is in perfect state Of
preservation.
The remarkable thing about this
bone is its size, as it is q inches long,
and proportionately large in circum-
ference. Local physicians who have
Examined it state that it more close
ly resembles the forearm bone in a
man than any other bone, yet the inn
mense size is hard to explain. Mr..
Benepe plans to ship the bone to the
Smithsonian Institute in Washington
to be identified.
AS the excavation was but four feet
in diameter, it may be that there are
other bones in the surrounding area,
and it is easily possible that we may
have some interesting relics of pre-
historic men excavated N Gallatin
county. =

The hay crop of the valley is
only average. For some reason the
alfalfa is not nearly as heavy as it
was year ago, and even the timothy
and other late hays do not look over
ly promising in many instances.
There is not a great deal of red clo-
yer in the valley, but what there is
is excellent and promises to furnish
some of the best hay of the season.
Pastures are unusually good this
season and all the stock is in top
condition.
Wet, cold weather has proved quite
detriment to the grasshoppers, and
in the opinion of Mr.. Bodley all seri-
Gus danger from this pest for the
present year is passed. This does
not mean that farmers should grow
careless and neglect to poison where
conditions warrant it, but the whole
sale destruction that was eveident in
some instances last year will not be
! prevalent this season in the opinion

NOT HIS OWN CAR
CLAIMS BECKWITH
BOOtlegger EndeavOrs to Get COnfis-
Gated Car. Claims it Was Only
Partly Paid For

In the hearing regarding the con-
fiscation of the car of ]. Cleve Beck
with, which was captured by the sher-
iff's force with Beckwith, a young
woman and so gallons of "moon"
sometime since, Beckwith put up the
customary story of the car belonging
to the other fellow. Beckwith said
he paid so much down on the car and
was TO pay the balance at different
times, but the ownership of the car
was not to pass to him until the en-
tire debt was paid. In connection with
his story of how he got the car Beck
with told Judge Law how he happened
to come to Bozeman with the booze
and claimed that C. ]. Mccarthy was
responsible for his trip.
Beckwith testified that Sunday aft
ernoon, May 20, Mccarthy came to
him in Livingston and wanted to buy
so or 100 gallons of moonshine. Beck
with told him he could furnish him SO
gallons, for which Mccarthy said he
would pay SO a gallon to have it de-
livereds in Bozeman. This price was
besides the $6 which the booze was TO
cast.
After the agreement and strange
lments were made, Beckwith loaded up
his seven-passenger sedan car with
five 10-gallon kegs of whiskey, got a
young lady to make the trip with him
and started for Bozeman. Mccarthy
according to Beckwith, was to lead
the way to Bozeman with his car, and
shows the Livingston man where to
plant the booze when this city was
reached.
Early in the evening, the sheriff
office was notified by someone, sup
pesed TO be the city police, that car
with a quantity of hooch was to arrive
in Bozepan over the Livingston roaC
some time during the evening. The
sheriff's force went IN search of the
rum runner. Along about IL D. m.
the officials met two cars, one Of
which turned out on the road Just
about the time the cemetery hill was
reached. The sheriff's car innediate
ly stopped the Beckwith car and the
man was interrogated about the 1926
license he was travelling with. A search

CITIZENS should
KNOW Paving COST
Commissioners Urge Investigation of
Costs Before Creating Improve
ment Districts

In the opinion of the three city
commissioners there should be no
more special improvement districts
created in Bozeman until the citizens
or rather the taxpayers involved as
certain the full costs of such i'm
provements. Furthermore, in the fu-
ture, no petitions for improvement
districts will be considered unless ac-
con1panied by certified check which
viii cover all preliminary expenses.
This expressed opinion on the part
of the commissioners is the result of
the petition of property owners on
South Tracy and Harrison, who de-
sired special improvement district
for paving created. The city went
ahead with the preliminary arrange
ments, the advertising and other
items, but when the cost of the paw
ing was ascertained by the property
owners, they began to object, and now
do not want the district. This leaves
the city in the hole in regard to al
this preliminary expense.
A week ago, property owners OF
North Grand, from Main to Willard
petitioned for an improvement distric
which called for the paving of tina
part of the city. The commissioner
J are of the opinion shat the said prop
erty owners are asking for something
which they will object to when the,
learn what it will cost. Therefore
the mayor is desirous of having theT
fully acquainted with all of the fact
in the case before they go too fan
also, he and the rest of the commits
sioners want them to guarantee tn
city's preliminary expense in the maj
ter before further action is taken

BANNER CHILDREN
GO TO STATE HOME
Children of Accused Man Sent to
Orphanage in Twin
Bridges

The three small children of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. o. Danner were sent to the
state home at Twin Bridges this
morning in the custody of Mrs. ]. C..
Neely, county matron. The children
are Ella, aged 6, Marvin, aged 3, and
Donald, aged IL years.
The older daughter of S. o. Danner,
Florence, who has been i'll at the
Deaconess Hospital, will be kept there
for the present, and it is thought that
relatives in the east will take care of
her.
Mrs. Danner is being held in Boze-
man under the care of the sheriff's
force, as the star witness in the trial
of her husband this fall. If Mrs.
Danner gets the divorce she is trying
to secure she will be free to testify
against Danner in his trial for the
alleged murder Of John and Florence
Sprouse on November IA, 1920, at
Central Park.
Whether or not Mrs. Danner will
ask for the custody of her children
after the trial Of her husband is over
has not been ascertained, and for the
present it was deemed that the best
place for the little tots would be in
the state orphanage.

CONPAN c Returns
FROM CAMP LEWIS
BOzeman Company Returns From
Summer Camp and Boys are
Pleased With Their Outing

After two weeks spent at Camp
Lewis, Washington, under army reg
ulations and doing army work, Com
pany G, 163rd Infantry, Montana Ma
tional Guard, returned home Monday
evening. Tanned with two weeks
constant outdoor exercise, greatly inn
proved in their marching and general
bearing, the company had all the APP
pearance of real soldiers, and ac-
cording to their officers, were
credit to the state while at Camp
Lewis.
When the company left here some
of the boys did not like the idea of
the trip; they had other plans for
their summer. But now on their re-
turn there is not a lad in the COM
pany, so the boys themselves claim,
who was not glad he had made the
trip. It was an experience worth
much to the company, both in regard
to the training received and the rec
reation afforded the men on Sundays
and other hours they had for their
own pleasure. A number of the men
were able to go to Victoria and Van
cOuver and to other points of inter
est along the Sound.
The boys made a good record.
While there was no competitive drills
or other elimination contests, still the
Company C men quote officer and Of
ficer of the regular army who compli-
mented them on their appearance,
their drilling and their general con-
duct In athletics the company
stood at the top Of all Montana SOL
diers and were fully equal to any
at the camp, which incfaded troops
from all the northwestern states.
Naturally, military training was
the chief activity during their stay
at the camp, with drills, parades
marches and different maneuvers un-
der the direction of regular army Of
ficers- The local company learned a
lot of drill and tactics and came home
with new enthusiasm for the organ
ization to which they belong.
The men Of the company are unan-
irnous in praising the conduct Of their
officers and the treatment accorded
thena at the camp. In fact, the only
summing up possible to this story is
that everybody is glad they went.

MRS. C. w. LOGAN DIES
SATURDAY AT RANCH
Long Time Resident of GaIlatin Is
Victim of Pneumonia at Ranch
Home Near Logan

Mrs. Savannah Victoria Logan, wife
of c. w. Logan, and for many years
one of the best known farm women
of Gallatin county, died at her ranch
home near Logan Saturday morning,
following an illness of many weeks,
from pneumonia.
She was born July 80, 1860, near St.
Joseph, Mo-, and moved with her
parents in her girlhood days to Kan
sas, where she lived until 1888, when
she came with her sister, the late
Mrs. J. D. McCamman, to Montana,
locating at Bozeman. Since that time
her residence has been in Bozeman
or other parts of the Gallatin valley.
She was married in December, 1886,
to G. w. Logan, of Bozeman, and they
lived for some time in or near Boze-
man, moving about 18 years ago to
their ranch near Logan, where they
have since made their home, though
they have visited Bozeman many
times, and have had many warm
friends here, as we'll as in that part
of the county where they have resid-
ed more recently.
About a month ago Mrs. Logan's
brother, James B. Mcdaniel, died
from pneumonia at his home in Lo-
gan, and few days after his death
| she was taken i'll with pneumonia.
For days her condition was considered
critical, and her friends In Bozeman
as well as in Logan and vicinity, and
the relatives, were mnch concerned
about her, but she seemed to be get
ting along all right with conditions
favorable for her ultimate recovery
when two days ago she was taken
worse, her heart was affected, and
she did not have the vitality to throw
off the disease
Mrs. Logan is survived by her hus-
band and by one son, Charles Logan,
who with his wife came from De-
tr0it, Minn., about two weeks ago
and were with the mother during hea
last days She leaves one brother
John Mcdaniel, of Logan, and many
friends wiao win sympakhize with the
