Officers John e. Martin and Will

thrilling encounter with an un-
known automobile and its occu-
pants after midnight Sunday. The
authorities believe the occupants of

lower Delaware and the adjoining
counties OF the Eastern Shore, or
rum-runners. Martin was on his
way home at High and Conwell
streets. He heard a motor coming
from the direction OF West Seaford

near he saw II had no lights, and
he signalled 1t to stop. Instead Of
slackening speed, the driver tried
to run down the officer, who fired
five shots after the flying car.
officer Hilbert, standing at the
corner Of High and Arch SITS, three
blocks away, hearing the shots and

into the street and endeavored to

WHEAT YIELDS
FIFTY BUSHELS.

BILLINGS, Aug. 27.-As a on
testant for the summer tillage clup
production prize in this district, R.
D. Sarver and A. E. Rogers have en-
tered a 20-acre tract on their farm,
10R miles southwest of B~roadview,
on which they are Just finishing har-
vesting a crop of winter wheat that
averaged a little more than so bush
els to the acre. The land is not irri-
gated, but was summer fallowed, ac-
cording to the directions of the sum-
mer tillage club of the Montana De-
velopment association, which is of
fering the prizes.
The wheat is of the Turkey Red va
riety, planted last fall and is being
graded as No. l dark northern, with
no dockage at the elevator where it
is being delivered direct from the big
combination harvester and thresher
being used in harvesting the crop.
Sarver and Rogers, who are farm
ing their two places together, have
425 acres of wheat, all of which has
been summer fallOwed, but only &c
acres which has been entered in the
contest. Most Of their crop is winter
wheat, although they have a consider.
able. acreage of spring wheat they
have not started to cut. MIR. Sarver
who was a recent visitor to Billings
said they had suffered a slight hal
damage in spots on their ranches
one of the heaviest being on the q
acres entered in the contest. Othe,
farmers in that vicinity. he said, haC
been less fortunate than they, and il
scattered areas the hail losses ha,
been heavy. Grasshoppers, accord
ing to MIR. Saver, have done littl
damage to that section as a whole.

arrested in Spokane, Wash, when

Petitions are now being circulated
in Great Falls seeking the parOl of

that the two boys, who are well known
in Great Falls, be sent to Great Falls
and be required to report on parole
until they have reached the age of q.
In the meantime, Mr.. Sullivan is
left without his car, the insurance
company in which he had a policy
refusing to return it. Sullivan is
equally insistent that the car must be
returned by the company, from which
he asks damages amounting to 80 per

With this seasons potato crop es-

ment of agriculture considerably be-
low the average crop for the five
year period of 1917 to 1921 inclusive,
and Montana's crop estimated at a
million bushels less than a year ago,
Montana growers are displaying con-
siderable more interest in marketing
matters than they did a year ago.
Because of the brighter prospects
and the chance of getting fancy prices
for quality stuff, potato men of this
state are evincing more than usua.
interest in the potato grading dem
o%nstrations that will be a feature of
the Montana state fair at Helena
September 1928, inclusive.
The bulk of the potatoes that find
their way into commercial channels
are now being marketed in accordance
with federal grades and regulations,
Because Montana is a comparatively
new producer commercially, less at.
tention has been given this phase OF
the matter and in many instances
Notwithstanding the generally super.
Tor quality of the Montana product, il

it was entitled. The potato grading

CHINOOK, Aug. 27.-The North
Montana Poultry show, to be held at
Chinook at the time Of the Northern
Montana Corn show, November s, g.,
and 10, promises to surpass all similar
events I'VE put on in Montana terri
tory
This show, sponsored by the Blaine
County Poultry association, will in
clude birds from the largest and most
prominent poultry farms of the entire
northwest. Several prominent breed
ers of states outside of Montana have
already signified their desire to show.
All of Montana's foremost poultry
breeders are expected to be we'll rep
resented. One breeder is planning to
show a hundred birds. All classes of
poultry will be shown. The utility
strains will probably outnumber all
others, but there will be large num-
bers of all varieties, including many
of the most interesting novelty breeds.
The Indian game chickens will have
a prominent part in the poultry dis
play. Chinese pheasants will also be
shown. Ducks, geese and turkeys are
sure to play a conspicuous part.
There is intense interest in this
show on the part of all old breeders of
fancy poultry. 1t is expected that
new breeders will appear who will for
the first time challenge the proves
Of the more seasoned showmen be-
cause of the fact that they show in
new territory.
Under the able management of the
association. the show is destined to
prove an unsurpassed success. With
the appointment of managers of the
type of F. A. Grace, secretary, and
Mrs. j. P. Sundquist, superintendent
to handle the details of the show, sue,

"The farmers of Montana, judging
from the letters coming to this office,
are restless and weary of the uninter-

death when the automobile in which
they were coming up the valley was
struck by the passenger train near
Bass Spur. Mr.. Hall was driving the
car and had progressed far up the in
cline to the track when the noise of
the approaching train notified him of
the danger.
Hay grasped the steering wheel and
turned the automobile until only one
wheel was on the track. He then
jumped and was attempting to drag
the older man from the seat when the
train hit. MIR. Hall was thrown some
distance, but not injured. Hay also
escaped injury. The automobile was
a wreck.
