Confession Discloses
Tale of Adventure I'm
Outlawry linn Ranch
Area Of Beaverhead

John Pavie and Henry #.
Calver, arrested recently ON Me-
dicine Lodge with two stolen
horses in their possession, were ar
raigned In the justice court at
Dillon and both entered pleas of
guilty, being bound over to the
district court for sentence.
Since their arrest several com
plants have been received in Dillon
from ranchers In the southern part
of Beaverhead county relative to
missing saddles, guns, clothing and
other articles and the answers of
the two men when questioned at the
sheriff's office brought forth a tale
of adventure that reads like the life
OF one of the noted outlaws of early
western history.
Starting frsm Dillon about O
week prior TO their arrest, with only
the clothes on their backs, they end
ed their trip about the county with
two good saddle horses, saddles,
new clothing, guns and provisions
worth several hundred dollars.
The first ranch they visited after
leaving Dillon was the Ben Taylor
place seven miles south of that city,
and here they say they appropriated
two horses, complete riding outfits,
boots, a watch, small sum of
money and gun. From there they
rode south and east, keeping In the
range of the foothills which divide
the Beaverhead valley from Sage
creek, and stopping at the Clay
ranch they left one of their old
saddles and took new one. Pro
ceeding on into Sage creek, they
visited the Herb Wheat ranch and in
creased their outfit with another
gun, pair of field glasses and sever
al other articles, leaving some of
the things they had taken before.
From there they made good time un-
til one of their horses went lame

UNDEFEATED CONY
SExTET BATTLES
PORTLAND SAT.

The undefeated Cony High school
girls basketball sextet will journey
Saturday afternoon to Portland.
where they will meet the Portland
High school basketeers in what prom
Uses to be the hardest game they
have played yet. Two years ago
Cony High was able to defeat their
sisters of the Forest City on their
own territory and they hope to dupli-
cate the feat this year.
The Portland High school lasses
have the reputation for having the
strongest girls team, year in and
year out. of probably any school in
the State. One well versed in bas-
ketball doings in the State said
Thursday that he did not believe that
Portland High school had averaged
to lose over one game in year in the
past ten years. Cony High school has
always given the Portland girls
hard rub, and although the local
team has not always come through
as winners, the Portland team has
always known that they have been
in n game.
The Cony High team this year has
won three straight games. They
started off strong with n win over
TIE aiuillflts tlSy uuIlIlCutSo liS iSot
with the Deering High seXtet and
then swamped the Skowhegan High
girls. With a record like this they
are rated as among the strongest
teams in the State, and plan to prove
that they are the strongest by win
over Portland High. In spite of the
fact that the Cony team is composed
principally of new players, they are
going like veterans and will without
doubt come through the season with
a fine record.
The following girls will make the
trip: Capt. Hussey. Manager Currier
and Moulton as forwards; Getchell,
Waugh and Milliken as forwards;
Davis, Duncan and Sears as guards.
The first two of each group will
probably start the game. Miss Allen
Of Colby. who did such n fine job
rcfereeing the game last Friday, will
go to Portland with the team to look
after the Cony end.
