BUTTE, Mont, Oct. 3.-Out here
in the open spaces Of Montana,
where men are men, they express
their political opinions in language
too strong to print. Expurgated.
these opinions are: Republican

The strong language in which

The story seemed so improbable to
detectives that they investigated for
several days before arresting Fenton
yesterday. He gave robbery as the
reason for the crime and said he
found SIS in the woman's room.

Miss Coleman had accidentally burned
herself to death while using can
