DOUBLE-CROSSED
 OPPONENT IN DUEL

RED LODGE, Mont, Feb. 20. - After having arranged with Mike Pepovitch to fight tuel, Mike Re jonivich reported to Police Chief McAllister that Pepovich had threat to shoot him and would be found with gun in his possession.
 Chief McAllister repaired to the rendezvous for the encounter and "covered" Pepovich when the latter appeared, Pepovich was so infuri- ated at this denuement that he re- fused to give up his weapon and Me Allister was compelled, at the risk of his own life, to beat the man over the head before he could disarm him.
 The foregoing is the gist of a story told Justice of the Peace Newman, when the two principals were ar raigned on charges of carrying con- cealed weapons, disturbing the peace and threatening to kill.
 Rejonivich's alleged frameup de- veloped quite "kickback" when Justice Newman fined him $50 and sentenced him to serve 10 days in the county jail. Apparently believ- ing that Pepovich was more sinned against that shining, the court i'm posed a fine of $50 and let him go.

MAMMOTH KIN RHIN0 IS NOW
 BEING REBUILT

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Baluchiter- ium lived about 2,000,000 years ago. He weighed about twenty tons. Now they're putting together his scattered remains just as the great American family puts together pieces of puzzle for week or so after Christmas.
 The American Museum of Natural History, through it's president, an nounces that the reconstruction of the fossil remains of the old-timer has progressed sufficiently to show that it was apparently the largest land mammal ever found, with the excep- tion of some now extinct elephants.
 Baluchitherium Grangeri is the full name. He is a cousin-or perhaps substantial limb of the family tree of the white rhinoceros, but if the two were posing for their reading from left to right the prehistoric living mountain would overshadow his mere two-ton pygmy relative to the point of the absurd. Baluchitherium was about twelve feet high, as near as the musium can figure, and twenty-four feet long. He had no horns, but enor- nous, powerful tusks, and an almost impenetrable skin.
 Granger Credited
 The museum gives credit for the ancient's reconstruction to Walter Granger (from which name the "Grangeri" of Baluchitherium Gran geri is -derived). Granger represents the Division of Paleontology of the museum with the Third Asiatic Mu- scum, now half way finished with five years of valuable research work III Mongolia. Granger ranks high in the profession throughout the world.
 A former worker for the museum c. Forster Cooper, found the first re- mains of the animal while working with an expedition in the northwest of India in 1911. Granger has now found the skull-2,500 miles away from the scene of the first find
 The discoveries of the expedition to Mongolia have opened a new volume in the great history of prehistoric times. since the great plateau Of that land, called the "crown of the world, hitherto had been untouched as field for geological research.
 Believed Barren
 Mongolia formerly was considered barren of fossils The museum sees in the finding of Baluchitherium skull proof that animal life existed there in several of the great geologl- cal periods similar to those in Amer ica in those times. This adds strength to the theory that great Hand bridge connected Asia and North America in the distant past perhaps 2,OO0,OO0 years ago.
 The expedition is using camel car avan and numbers of motor cars i'll its work. Camp is made at many points, and groups from the main party travel in all directions in their cars, look ing for those important. documents written by Nature years ago that tell us now few bits of life before civili- zation was ever thought of.

RUSSIA IS SSTRONC FOR
 EVANGELISTS

CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-Soviet Russia is open to large evangelistic and re- form movement in the Russian church and outside of the Russian church, ac- cording to Bishop John L. Nuelson of Zurich, Switzerland, who is in charge of the Methodist Episcopal church ac- tivities in Russia and who has recent ly arrived in the United States after extensive travelling and investigation in that country. Bishop Nuelson tells of recent interview with the arch bishop of Moscow and the whole gov erning body of the new Russian church. He was asked many ques- tions regarding the American churches in general and Methodism in partic- ular.
 The bishop says; "They told me, Our aim is to purge the church of the elements of heathenism and lead Jesus Christ, and to rid it of the monk ish idea"
 Bishop Nuelson quoted the Soviet church dignitaries as saying, we have to build a new church, which is free church, and under republican form of government; we want to build on an evangelistic basis. You have had this experience in America, you can tell us how to do this thing.
 'I received two documents from these men, one an invitation issued by the government body of the church of Russia to the Methodist Episcopal church to send fraternal m assengers to their next conference which will meet this month, in order to ad- wise and guide them in the building up of their church. The second was one inviting the Protestant churches of America to send fraternal messen- gers to the church of Russia.
 The Board of Bishops have assigned three of it's bishops to attend the con- ference in Russia and the Federal Churches of Christ will also send fra ternal messengers"

ATTACKSON U.S.
ONLY SATIRE,
HE SAYS
British Newspaper Man De-
cIares There Is No Anti-Ameri-
can Feeling Behind Work.
By DAVID M. CHURCH,
International News Service.

LONDON, May 31.-Great Britain
has had no consistently anti-Ameri-
can publicist, since Horatio Bot
tomley gave up his editorial chair
in the offices of John Bull' and
took occupancy Of cell at the
Wormwood Scrubs prison.
Bottomley hardly let q week pass
without an attack upon America.
Since his departure from public life
there has been no newspaper which
has taken up the vitriolic pen which
he laid down. All English newspa-
pers have spoken frankly at inter-
walls with regard to American at
fairs, but none has been persistent
American baiters, although at times
it has appeared as though Lord
Beaverbrook's Express" and "Sun-
day Express were bidding for the
honors once held by Bottomley's
John Bull"
He Attacks Everything
The Sunday Express" edited by
A. Beverly Baxter, a young and
perhaps inexperienced newspaper
man, has blossomed forth quite
consistently with attacks on things
American, and especially bitter have
American theater and American cul-
ture. These continued attacks fin
ally led to charges being publicly
made that Baxter was unfairly anti
American.
Young Mr.. Baxter, with a worried
air and something that seems al.
than a column of his paper to ex-
al of Ofn Hnk hA a.
cane nor unfair, but that he is
merely INDUCING in the great Brit
ish indoor sport-satire. His ex-
swallow, and II Baxter Is a satirist
then George Bernard Shaw is a
poet; but, at any rate, Baxter has
had his day in court.
Americans seem to have forgot
ten that satire is the natural men,
tai exercise of the British" said
Baxter in his explanation. I'VE
make fun of our politicians; we ex-
pose our own absurdities to the
crayon of the cartoonist and the
pen of the humorist.
British satire is seldom i'll ma
tured. Very often we ridicule the
very things we love as we'll as the
things we dislike. That spirit Of
caricature is in all classes and
creeds.
But the American apparently
does not take kindly to the use or
acceptance of satire.
II am afraid that we shall go on
poking fun at our American guests
as long as we are on good terms
with each other, and may that be
forever. The impulse is irresistible.
There is no anti-American feel
ing in this office or in this country.
"If there were we would not
satirize the United States so fire.
quently, for repeat that Is the
British method of expressing inter
est. And If great trouble ever

Bull we shall cross the floor OF
the Atlantic and sit together at the
same table,"
Americans in London are having
difficulty in accepting Bakers ex-

At any rate, America may rest
easily once more. Mr.. Baxter does

SCORE OF SPECIAL SHRINE TRAINS NOW ON WAY TO CAPT
Potato Crop Reported
Short a Peck.
aPerson
By international News service.

CHICAGO, May 31.-The cur
tailment of potato production by
20 per cent this year promises
a shortage of one peck per per-
son instead Of an over-produc-
ton of one bushel per capita,
as last year, the National Insti-
tute Of Progressive Farming
has announced following it's pre-
liminary survey of potato-grow-
ing sections.
There has been a great de-
crease In acreage, the institute
said, as growers whose last
seasons potatoes were allowed
to rot in the fields or fed to
livestock, because of over pro-
duction which glutted the mar
kets, were not willing to risk a
repetition Of last years failure.
In 1922 the potato production
reached the record figure Of
45O, 100000 bushels, the institute
said, whereas the estimated
yield for 1928 will only be about
36O,0O0,0OO.
