A TERRIFIC BLOW

AT the same time, the rum.smug.
Cling combine. which is said TO be at
war with olmsted. would be dealt a
terrific blow. as would every other
smuggler on the Sound. The small
retailer would be forced to buy from
olmsted. and the other smugglers
would be unable TO face the com,
petition.
On the Atlantic, smugglers have
long been buying their liquor from
incoming ships outside the three.mile
limit, Il is pointed out, but here the
smuggler must purchase his stock
from Canadian liquor houses. paying
a heavy duty TO Canada and heavy
profit to the liquor firms

Baby Girl BORN HIM Car
Named After Woman
w mo Rendered Help

A story of timely aid given at a
critical moment by which a baby
girl was ushered into the world and
the mothers life probably saved
was told recently by those who
learned of the incident at Billings
hospital. The Good Samaritan in
this incident was Mrs. Ralph Bun
ker of Roundup.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bunker were driving
to Billings and, at point in Yellow
stone county, they were hailed by the
driver of small car. He was in
formed them that he was taking his
wife to the hospital but that the
stork was getting the best of the race
and he was at loss as to what to
do. Mrs. Bunker quickly changed to
the car with the sufferer and with
skill and kindness gave such atten-
tion and relief as were possible I'M
der the circumstances. Within a
few minutes baby girl came into the
world, and it was held lovingly in
Mrs. Bunkers arms as the journey
was continued to the hospital
Several hours after the arrival in
Billings, Mrs. Bunker again visited
the hospital to enquire as to the con-
dition of her two patients and was
deeply gratified to learn that both
we're in excellent health. In graft
-ude to their preserver the parents
nemed their daughter Lucille.

Although Colonel Majors made
only one visit to Montana in the
early territorial days-in the spring
i of 186o-there are few of the sur

some recollections of the early
freighter, especially those who
came from points along the Mis-

the acquaintance and had business
dealings with him when, in the
years Immediately preceding the
Civil War and during that conflict
he was the senior member of the
mammoth transportation firm of
Majors, Russell & Weddell, the
most stupendous concern in the
United States. The ramifications
of its business extended from all
the known outfitting places on the
river from St. Louis to Omaha, to
every fort, post and important town
in the far western states and terri
tories between the Mexican and
British boundary lines.
Besides the animals employed in
the famous PONY express" service
from the Missouri river to San
which were purchased by
Ben Holiday when the Overland
Stage line was established, the firm
had at one time over 1000 mules
and $500 yoke of oxen engaged in
