CLEVER STOP OF
RUNAWAY TEAM

On Monday afternoon q team con
sisting of two horses hitched to q
heavy wagon and two tied behind, rar
away down Castner street and were
stopped in a spectacular manner BY
F. s. Carley of the Carley Brothers
garage.
The driver, Billy O'Neill, had gone
into the Belt Farmers Mill and Eleva.
tor office when something started the
team. O'Neill made run for the
wagon and succeeded in getting in, but
got out again as rapidly as possible
when he found the reins were trailing
on the ground.
1t was raining and the streets were
very slippery. O'Neill made beauti-
full slide when he jumped and escaped
any injury The outfit made a grace
full turn at Boboth's, missing a car in
front of the Times office and making
such a racket that they had a clear
right of way through the business
section. The runaways were slipping
and sliding, giving promise Of landing
IN q heap most anywhere One or two
men got out in front of them and
waved their hands and cried whoa"
with vigor but the team went by with
a rush as they side-stepped.
Carley was getting a drink at the
fountain across from the garage as
the runaways started to make the
turn toward the red bridge. After a
run of so yards he grasped the har-
ness of the off horse with one hand
and the bit with the other. In so yards
unaided he brought the team to halt.
1t was a regular movie picture
stunt and ELECTED applause and ap-
proval from everyone who saw it.
Headed as the team was for the old
bridge site, disaster and wreckags
could hardly have been avoided il the
outfit had not been stopped. As it
was, no damage was done to anything
it being little short of miraculous how
q runaway team could avoid ali the
cars which were parked along the
street at that time Of day.

STATE FAIR TO
SUPPLY TENTS

Heralded as the most marked cd
vance in tourist camp management
since their establishment, it il pre-
dicted that within three years every
tourist camp in the country that il
worthy of the name win adopt an m
novation the Montana State Fair an
nounees will be in effect ct its tourist
camp during this years fair, Septem-
Der 1928 inclusive.
The innovation Is SO simple it seems
strange it was not thought Of long
before. But Secretary Moore takes
no credit for it; he says it was forced
upon the fair by the scores of letters
from farmers throughout the state
announcing they and their families
intend to motor to the fair for TIE
first vacation In several years.
We're going to make tent reserva-
tions," said Mr.. Moore. "for all Mon
tsns people who request 1t and accou.-
pany their requests by the sdmissioa
fee for the number Of days they want
the reservation to be In effect. ThA
tents will be numbered, and the fam
lily applying for the reservation win
find their tickets and tent number 1t
the general ticket booth. Then thau
will be fixed out for as long . tims
on the grounds as their tickets coves-
The general admission charge to -
grounds will admit them to the slsc-
trio lighted tourist camp, give them =
tent, free fuel, use Of the chiidrsn's
the day nursery, admis-
sion to the elaborate night shows and
other privileges.
Tourist camp reservations are juzt
as logical as hotel reservations, sleep
er reservations or reservations of
other kinds. The number of farmers
who have written in that they are
coming to the fair by auto this season
us to take this step, 70 that
those who have had the foresight ts
plan their trips this early, and to ad-
wise us, will not be crowded out Ia
privilege will also snabas
US to make adequate preparations b
take care of larger number in bst-
ter way than we could do otherwise.
"The farmers Of Montana, Judging
by the letters coming to this office,
are restive and weary Of the uninter-
rupted life on the farm. 1t has bssn
three years, and in many cases longer
than that, since the majority Of the1
nave gotten away even for few days
rom the daily round Of chores. I think
L is hopeful sign that SO many Of
hem are planning on few days
ling with their families at the fair.
IN the tourist camp they will meet
'armers as well as townspeople from
III parts Of the state, they'll see the
lights, and go back home with fresh
,oint Of view that will make them bst-
er able to find way out Of their diff
iculties."
Persons desiring reservations made
Or them at the tourist camp should
write Secretary Moore, Helena, Mont,
remittance for tickets for
ach member Of the party. Daily ad-
MISSIONS are 30 cents for adults, but
ticket for the four days Of the fair
osts $3.50. Children are admitted
rec on two days, and on the other
ays the admission fee for them is =

brought him home with a scorching

From then until the eighth the
game was a classic. Both sides
threatened at. different times but fast
prevented any scoring.
In the eighth Culver went out, Dris-

one for two sacks and Hicks sent a
hot one to Oriet who dropped the ball
while trying to tag Fluhr, Hicks being
safe at first. The next man up struck
out, Hicks stealing second on the first
pitched ball. Harper then put the

GRIZZLIES FACE
HARD SCHEDULE

The Grizzlies face heavy football
season next fall, with the first game
scheduled for second Saturday of the
college year. Three varsity games
will be played on Dornblaser field
The first game of the season will be
home game with Mount ST. Charles
college invading the Grizzly lair.
Three weeks later Gonzaga will
visit the Garden City to give battle to
the Montana huskies, and the final
home game of the season will take
place on November 8, when the an
nual tangle with the Whitman Mis-
sionaries is scheduled.
October 6-Mount st. Charles at
Missoula.
October 13-University of Idaho at
Moscow.
October 20-State School of Mines
at Butte.
October 27-Gonzaga at Missoula.
November Whitman at Missoula.
November 10-University of Wash
ington at Seattle.
November 17-State College at
Bozeman.
December Pacific University at
Portland.
The prospects for successful sea-
son are much brighter than they were
a year ago. Thirty-four men, not in
cluding the old varsity men, turned
out daily for six weeks spring foot
ball practice under the tutelage of
Jelly Ellicott. Much promising ma
terial was found in the spring squad,
and the men were thoroughly drilled
in football fundamentals, with some
scrImmage thrown in to make the
work interesting.
1t is confidently expected that the
football team will carry off high hon
ors in the coming football season, and
the approach of the season is being
looked forward to with much interest
as the hoped-for success will be
something in the nature of come
back after a rather disastrous season
last year. The team seemed to suf-
fer from one of the periodic slumps
that overtake almost every athletic
organization from time to time, and
was also considerably handicapped by
early season injuries to keystone men,
The squad had some difficulty in ad-
justing itself to different style of !
play than il had become accustomed
to, but Coach Stewart and his aides
pulled the team through the trying
season with record that was far
from being discreditable.
The results of the season were:
Montana 0; University of Washing
ton 26.
Montana 81; Montana Wesleyan O.
Montana 15; Idaho Institute OF
Technology IL.
Montana Z; Montana State College
Montana 0; Whitman Is.
Montana 0; University of Idaho 49,
The Grizzlies won half their games
and retained the state championship
in spite Of a weak backfield which
more than offset good line. The
first game, that with the Washington
Sun Dodgers, resulted in injuries to
Elliott, Madsen and Murphy, which
kept all three men on the bench more
or less during the remainder Of the
season.
