FAITHFUL AIREDALE DOG
WATCHES SPROUCESs GRAVES

When Mr.. and Mrs. Seth Ora Dan
ner cleaned up camp after the alleged
murders at Central Park, November
16, 1920, they forgot one thing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sprouce had an Aire-
dale dog which they had brought
with them from their home in South
Dakota. After the alleged crimes
were committed and the banners had
left, the dog remained and day after
day without food kept to the place
where he had last seen his master.
Efforts were made by persons in
Central Park to coax the animal
away, and sometimes he would go,
but only to get something to eat, then
he would return to his vigil.
There are people in Central Park
who recall the strange actions of the
Airedale now, but at the time nothing
was thought of it except that the
owners had abandoned him.

~terially improved the crop outlook in
the southeastern part, according to
reports to the Montana department
of agriculture. The wet weather has
halted grasshopper damage, Madison
and Lewis and Clark counties being
the only mes to report the pest as
serious. There was some scattering
hail but the only serious damage re-
ported was to winter wheat in Fer
gus county. The labor situation con-
tinues to ease UP, except in Ravalli.

ever, he was eventually captured and
his career of crime ended. One of

However, his boast failed and tba

take thousands of dollars for the ex-

years, but on the other hand I would
not give a thin dime to go through
