Gently, turned up one of the most in

a roman knight. together with shield,
sword, spear and several utensils, in
Guiding an exquisite vase.
Director Velkoff, of the National
Museum, and Mr.. Popoff, an expert
on Greek antiquities, estimate that
the find dates back to the pre-Alex-

he may have been a dweller of the
Hellenic colony on the Black Sea
coast.
On the helmet, we'll preserved and

TOO MUCH BOOSTING IS
CALIFORNIA; UNDOING,
LOS ANGELES MAN

Southern California is continuing
to experience a slump in all lines of
industry, and hundreds of people who
a year or two ago were hurrying from
all parts of the country down to Los
Angeles and other cities in that part
of the state are now equally anxious
to get back to some place where they
can secure employment, said c. Daw-
son, of Los Angeles, who was in Liv-
fngston recently en- route to Leth-
bridge, Alta, where he has ranching
interests.
Mr.. Dawson believes that the big
factor in bringing about the predica-
ment in which that part of Califor.
MIA o finds itself can be traced di-
rectly to the publicity campaign
which was carried on in all parts of
the United States to induce people to
locate in California.
Thousands of people from all sec
lions flocked there, cities and towns
rapidly grew in population, new
stores and other places of business
were opened up to take care of the
needs of the people, and for a time
with the oil fields going full blast
and a big building campaign being
carried on the large majority of the
people found at least partial employ
ment. Then, when slack times came
on, thousands we're left without Jobs
and with little or no money to tide
them over the dull period. And, since
last spring, Mr.. Dawson said, the
roads leading out of southern Cali
fornia have carried thousands Of
people who are leaving the state.

Foot OF Road Agent
sSClubfoot'' George is
ON Exhibition Inn A
Virginia City Cafe

The foot Of an ordinary human
being is not an object of much at
tention. But, when that foot is
the pedal extremity of a road agent
who died swinging at the end of a
rope in 1864, and is in addition a
club foot, it becomes a real Curl
osity.
In a glass case, at Walkers soft
drink parlor, down at Virginia City,
there is on exhibition just such a
foot, and, as an exhibit, it is proving
more than the usual attraction.
This particular foot once formed a
part of the body of "Clubfoot"
George Lane, who with four of his
fellows was hanged by the Vigilantes
at Virginia City in 1864. It is we'll
preserved as is the bit of WOODEN
sock which clings to it. The story of
how this foot found its way into a
glass case when it properly belonged
with the rest of the body in the quiet
grave, dates back 20 years to the
time when Jim Walker a mayor of
Virginia City.
Mayor Walker decided that the
graves of the five road agents repos-
ing on the brow of a hill overlooking
the city, should be properly marked.
When the time arrived for this mark
ing, there arose a heated dispute as
to the identity of the bones resting in
each grave; and to settle the contro-
versy, A. B. Davis, at one time cap
tain OF the Junction Vigilantes was
in. Mr.. Davis had braved the
power of the road agents, and had
the rope around the neck of
George Ives, the first outlaw, to be-
come subject to the quick and sure
Vigilante justice in Montana. The
had also participated in the
execution of Clubfoot George and his
Desperate companions.
Pointin gto one of the graves, Mr..
Davis declared that Clubfoot "
George rested there. other members
If the marking party disagreed with
The captain. The body was disin-
erred and the club foot of Lane was
the word of Davis was taken
