The music for the dance was ex-
cellent. II was estimated that
there were between 230 and $50
people for the dance; $21.10 was
realized on the lunch alone and
many could not be served,
supplies being exhausted. Dance
tickets and supper cleared $110
above all expenses. About $50
is needed so further contributions
may be given to Walter Prather.

He charged that land value. as

made up not of the actual value of
the land, but of the improvements
surrounding the land. In the case OF
a vacant lot. he pointed out. sur
rounding property which was i'm
proved bore the high tax, while the
vacant property escaped with viz
tually no penalty. He charged that
this constituted taxation of effort
and industry and resulted in reward
for supinenesS and lazineSs.
Land owes its value to improve

provements" he said. Tax the land
which acquires such value through
no aid of its owners to support the

SUNFLOWER'S RIVAL

SUNFLOWER was always so intent
upon watching for Mr.. Sun thai
she did not notice anything else until
he arrived, and when one morning a
tall tree growing beside the wall near
her said, Miss Dawn looked very
beautiful this morning, didn't she?'
Miss Sunfiower looked surprised.

piled Tall Tree. Miss Dawn is the
beautiful creature that arrives before
Mr.. Sun and always waits for him.
You see, Sunflower, you are not the
only one who watches for him.

Convicted In District
Court On Liquor Charge

Leslie Walker was sentenced by
Judge Conner Wednesday to so DAYS
in jail and a fine of 5000 on a charge
of having Intoxicating liquor in his
possession. His fine was RENTED
and the IS days which Walker has
been in jail applied on his so day
sentence, leaving him Is days to
serve.
Walker is a transient laborer and
was arrested at Poplar. Justice J. j..
Hanson disqualified himself and the
case was filed in Judge Gordon's
court here, but there was no hearing
in justice court as County Attorney
Schoening decided to file direct in
formation in the district court. It
was a common, everyday case of
bottle on the hip, and as Walker had
been in Jail so long and behaved HIM
self as a prisoner, the county attor-
ney recommended the minimum SEN

so the court appointed j. K. Bramble
to defend him.

Poor Sunfower could only listen

she was not beautiful but she had

this he loved her best always.

OkIahoma's Oil
City Prosperous.

Gordon and J. B. Montgomery
who have been visiting the other
members of the family in this city
returned last week to Tulsa, Okla,
where they are engaged in the drug
business. j. B. Montgomery lived
here for a number of years and says
he is surprised and pleased at the way
Wolf Point has kept up during the
recent years of adversely. Tulsa, he
says, is strictly an oil city and has
been built by the oil industry. The
city is surrounded by producing wells
some of them as close as four miles
from the city limits. More wells are
being drilled and the aggregate pro-
duction is immense. The very low
price of crude has of course made the
oil business correspondingly less
profitable, but a flood of wealth is
being brought into the southern oil
fields even at present prices.

MYSTERY HANGS
OVER FLORIDA
SHOOTING
Man Who Admits Staying
Broward IN TusseI, to
Testify at Inquest
b. international News Service.

ORLANDO, Fla. Nov. 24.--I1al
Cady and his wounded wife, Louise
Cady. were expected to be among
the first witnesses called to the
stand upon the resumption here this
afternoon Of an inquest into the
death Of N. B. Broward, nephew
Of former Governor Napoleon
Broward. Of Florida, whose body
was found in the Cady home here
Saturday morning.
When the inquest adjourned Sat
urday. thirteen witnesses had been
heard, but no evidence introduced
tending to clarity the mystery
which still overshadowed the
tragedy today.
Practically all witnesses were
guests at a party at the Cady
home preceding the tragedy.
One OF the first officers on the
scene after neighbors heard shots in
the house, Il Is said, stated he
found Cady dazed, wiping his hands
upon a towel In the bathroom. At
his feet was the dead body of
Broward, and Mrs. Cady was in
her nightgown bleeding from a bull
let wound in the right shoulder.
Her injury was slight. On
nearby dresser laid q 80 caliber
pistol with three shells empty. One
had passed through Broward's heart
and lungs. Another had passed
through the flesh OF Mrs. Cady's
right shoulder, and a third was
lodged in the bathroom door.
Incoherently, according to Police
Lieutenant Harvey, Cady said he
and Broward had scuffled and that
he had tried to get Broward to go
home. When Broward refused,
Cady said he pointed his pistol at
the floor In the hope of frightening
him away.
Lady Badly Bruised.
Evidence at the inquest showed
a physical battle ensued in which
Broward was shot. Cady, who was
in court, was badly bruised about
the eyes and face, and also on the
chest. The latter injury, he said,
had been caused by Broward biting
him. Broward's body also showed
bruises.
The greatest interest centers now
about the story Of the Cadys, who
have been reticent SO far, but It In
doubtful II the inquest viii be open
to the public when either is placed
upon the stand. They are the only
witnesses to the shooting. Those
who testified Saturday were guests
who departed an hour and a hall
before the shots were heard.

When pedestrians use the StreetG
they should be guided by the rules
of the streets. If pedestrians knew
the signals used by automobile
drivers to denote turns they would
not be taken by surprise and caught
in a dangerous place in many
cases."
Policeman Phillips cautioned auto
mobile drivers to use more car.s in
making signals property and at
the proper time.
Menace in Signal DeIayF.
Mary drivers fail to signal for
turn until they have actually
begun the turn" he said. "What
chance does this give the man be-
hind? He might as well not have
made the signal
"Other drivers fail to signal for
stop until after they have sp-
piled the brakes and come almost
10 complete stop. For an emery.
ency stop this may sometimes be
unavoidable, but whenever the
driver knows he is going, to stop
or is likely TO have to stop he
should signal his intention before
he even puts his foot on the brake.
Motorists should signal for the
benefit of pedestrians as well as
other motorists. 1t is only a mas.
ter of courtesy to let a pedestrian
who is in doubt know what you in.
tend to do.
"In many cases the driver Of an
automobile can, by a wave of mis-
Land, indicate to a pedestrian that
he will turn in behind the man on
foot.
Instead Of that he uses his Morn
and both car and man head for
the curb at the same tiIno, each
trying to dodge the other, but both
making the wrong guess. That can
be avoided by the exercise Of COM
mon courtesy"
Proper Time To Stop.
Policeman Phillips urged motor
lists not to stop in the street car
tracks in the congested portion Of
the city and so obstruct traffic.
An automobile should not be
stopped on the car tracks unless
1t is absolutely unavoidable, he
said. If an automobiles should stop
In the track and motor1nan from
behind should signal with two rings
Of the bell his desire to come ahead
1t is the duty of the motorist to get
off the tracks If possible, he de-
clared.
Policeman Phillips, because of the
irregular shape Of the corner where
he is on duty, caused by the jog
In G street around the Patent OF
flee, is more troubled by "iay-walk-
ing" than the majority Of traffic
policemen.
That he, has not had a pedestrian
injured in more than year of duty
there is regarded by other police
men as a tribute to his skill in
handling the heavy traffic at that
important intersection.
