Old Resident of BOzeman Works in the
Morning and Dies Shortly
After Noon

Albert Smith, for the past 25 years
a resident of Bozeman, died at his
home 210 Church avenue south Tues
day afternoon shortly before one
O'clock. Mr. Smith returned from
work at noon and complained about
not feeling well. He was induced to
lie down for a short time to rest. A
few minutes later his wife noticed
that everything was not right and
hastily summoned a physician, who
found Mr.. Smith dead when he arrived
Death was due to apoplexy.
Mr.. Smith had not been feeling well
for some time and Monday he COM
planned of headache and pains in his
back. Tuesday morning he seemed
better and went to work as usual, but
on returning home at noon he COM
planned of illness again. After eating
luncheon he lay down for rest and
never got up.
The body was taken to the West
parlors and arrangements have not
been made for the funeral, depending
on hearing from some of Mrs. Smiths
people.
Mir. Smith was born in New York,
December %, 1856. His parents died
when he was boy, and at the age of
IA he started to learn the harness
making trade, which he has followed
most of the. time since he came to
Montana about % years ago. He
worked first for Frank Griffin when
he came to Bozeman. After Mr.. Grif-
fin left here Mr. Smith went to Bill
lings, where he was employed as har-
ness maker for Yegen brothers for
about two years. Returning to Boze-
man he worked for some time for the
Ellis-Brandley company, then went
into business for himself at Three
Forks, where he spent about two
years.
1t was while Mr. and Mrs. Smith
were living at Three Forks that he
had the first attack with his heart anC
a stroke of paralysis, and he decided
to purchase farm in the valley, hop
ing to regain his health. His wife

DECORATION DAY
|. WELL OBSERVED
Interesting Parade Features After
noon Exercises Hundreds of
School Children Make Pretty
Picture

1t has been q true Memorial Day,
for scarcely had the parade disband
ed this afternoon than the rain start
ed in earnest. Even during the par
ade itself a light mist fell, but the
weather man was kind enough to hold
the real downpour until after the
parade was through.
1t has been a number of years
since there was such comprehens-
i've observance of Memorial Day in
Bozeman. All morning the cemetery
was thronged and beautiful flowers
of every kind decorated the '1ittle
green tents" where the loved ones of
Bozeman are laid to rest. Spring
flowers from the foothills, violets
from the woodlands, greenhouse pro-
ducts of rare color and fragrance,
and flowers from the home gardens,
tended by loving hands, graced the
cemetery on every hand.
The parade was both interesting
and unusual. Major Charles Sheri-
dan, adjutant general of Montana,
headed the procession, with the COM
manders of the G. A. R. and the Span
ish war veterans beside him. Next
came the Bozeman band, and follow
ing it the local company of the 163rd
infantry, home boys in uniform and
parading for the first time. Next in
order, at the head of the real war
veterans, came the G. A. R., a little
handful of the once numerous Will
liam English post, growing weak in
body but strong in the spirit that
, bade them march forth to preserve
the Union in 81. Behind the G. A
R. were the Spanish war veterans
men in the late prime of life
strong men who in a few years more
will be the oldest American veterans
Next in order were the World Wa
veterans, a goodly number of young
men with most of their future still
J before them.

LIVINGSTON man
|. Will CONTRIBUTE
Beckwith Fined $40O and Car Con,
fiscated for Trying to Bring
Booze Into Dry Gallatin
County

1t don't pay to be negligent about
the license on your car. AT least that
is the experience of J. Cleve Beck
with, of Livingston. Beckwith was
driving a big sedan car into Bozeman
Sunday evening, the car still having
its 1922 license plates. Just outside
of the city the motor was stopped by
men of the sheriff's force and Beck
with was asked why he did not have
a new license. incidentally the Off
GERS took occasion to look into the
car itself and found five ten-gallop
kegs of "moon."
Beckwith had young woman with
him, and was apparently taking a
pleasure drive. His idea was all
right, and had it not been for the un-
fortunate license plates he might have
got away with it. We say "might, -
for failure to get booze into the Gala
tin is fast becoming a habit, with
Sheriff Jim Smith on the job.
Beckwith and his friend were taken
to jail and given a nights lodging.
Monday morning the young woman
was released and allowed to return
home, after she had told the court
she was merely taking a ride with
the man. Beckwith was charged with
transporting liquor, and pleaded
guilty, drowning down a fine of $400
, the heaviest yet assessed in Gallatir
county. In levying the fine the court
told Beckwith that it did not pay tt
bring booze into Gallatin county.
Two Livingston friends of Beck
with were in court when the man wa:
sentenced, and returned home, pre-
Sunlably to get the money to liberat'
hims In case it IS. not Forthcoming
he will spend 200 days in Jail. Beck
with will also have to pay fine fo
not having a 1923 license on his car
and in addition the car itself has beel
confiscated. Incidentally the man i
still further out of pocket, for tn
"moon" is said to be worth in tn
neighborhood of $40 gallon.

CITY BASEBALL
RACE IS STARTED
Keen Interest Shown in Sport and
Race This Season Promises to Be
Best Yet. Rotarians Win
First Game

The city baseball season started off
last Friday with the aid of brass
band, big parade and a whole lot of
interest shown by local fans. In or
der to help the game along, the mer-
chants of the city closed their stores
at o'clock, and from the size of the
parade and the opening crowd, all
Bozeman turned out to the initial
game.
The first game was between the
Rotary club team and the outfit man.
aged by Jack Harader, of the cham
Der of commerce, the Rotarians win
ming by the easy margin of Is to 10.
Failure to field in the pinches spelled
the downfall of the chamber Of COM
emrce players, though the heavy
smuggling of the winning team might
have turned the trick against snap
pier fielding.
The Rotarians started out with a
genuine slugging bee, scoring IL runs
in the first three innings. The c. of
C.'s scored two runs in the first in
ming, but failed to hit effectively
against Pitcher Finley until the fifth,
when they started a rally, but the lead
already piled up against them was TOO
great to overcome.
Although there were many errors
on both sides, the game was played in
good form, and was much better than
might have been expected in the first
appearance on the diamond for the
season.
George Finley pitched a good game
for the Rotarians until the fifth in
ming, when he weakened, allowing his
opponents eight runs in the last three
innings. Ely took the mound for the
Chamber of Commerce, but was re-
placed in the second by Johnson.
Neither were able to hold the ROtar-
ian sluggers. Lyons was called from
first base to fill the place. He pitched
in good form for two innings, but
weakened in the last and allowed his
opponents three runs.
The score by innings for the first
game was as follows:

The second game of the season was
played Tuesday evening between the
Elks and Kiwanis, resulting in 2z
tie. the game being called on accoun
of darkness. This game was a rea
thriller, with pitchers working air
tight ball and snappy fielding char
acterizing the play throughout.
A walk and an error in the frs
inning gave the Kiwanis two men or
