AFTER SIX YEARS FORCER
ASKS FOR PUNISHMENT

square, Roy Nelson, 81, volunteered
to Jailer Jack Barry when he walked
into the police station at Butte re-
Gently and related a story of being a
fugitive for six years from Bozeman,
where he says he forged a check for
twenty dollars.
Nelson, looking and tired
from long travelling, asked Assistant
Chief of police Mike O'Donnell to in
form Bozeman authorities that he
was in custody and announced that
he was ready to take any punishment
that might be due him.
The man declared that it was near
setting him crazy and stated that he
would 'stell everything to Gallatin
authorities when they came for him.
Nelson was a farmer lear Bozeman
six years ago when he sold an auto
mobile owned jointly by himself and
another man, he said. He also forged
a check, he said, and then disap-
peared.
In the six years of absence he has
not written to relatives in Bozeman
and has been in every section of the
country. Afraid to linger long in one
part, his life was one continual NOV
ing.

He has been in Butte about two
days coming from the coast, the pri-
soner told the officers.

HUGE GRAIN MERGER OF
ELEVATORS is DRAFTED

A plan for grain farmers to OWL
and control a huge system of eleva.
tors and grain facilities, now con-
trolled by five large board of trade
concerns, which would be merged
into a cooperative association, is in
the hands of a committee of the Am
erican Farm Bureau federation, head
ed by 0, E. Bradfute, president OF
the federation, as chairman of the
committee.
The merger plan would involve
about 25,000,000, it was said, repre-
senting the appraised value of the
properties of the five companies.
The plan was endorsed by George
Marcy, president of the Armour
Grain company, who said he believed
it would go through.
Although the firm of James A.
Patten, known as the wheat king
until he retired from the farm bur-
eau federation, Mr.. Patten said he
had no connection with the merger
arrangement. He explained that his
company leased it's elevators from the
Bartlett and Frazier estates, which
he said might be willing to sell their
property at a good price, but that
nothing definite had been done to-
ward their disposal. Mr.. Patten
made it plain that he had had no CON
nection with the plan.
Mr.. Patten, long known as the
wheat king" who retired from oper-
ations on the floor of the board of
trade, at his offices in the Bartlett
Frazier company, said that even
though the proposed merger was eff
fected, there still would be a number
of other large grain firms operating
in the market.
Mr. Marcy, head of the Armour
Grain company, in discussing the
plan, said the cooperative movement,
favored by President Coolidge and
aided by Frank o. Lowden, former
governor of Illinois, had grown to an
extent not generally suspected.

SKELETON MAY BE
CLUE TO KILLING
WAS JOHN AFFLERBACK VICTIM
OF HARRY RANDOLPH, THIEF
AND BAD CHARACTER?
Skeleton of man found near Laramie,
Wyoming, may be remains of Grass
Range Rancher, who disappeared
mysteriously.

The skeleton of a man found
near Laramie, Wyoming, with two
bullet holes through the skull, it
is believed by Nebraska, Colorado
and Wyoming officers, solves the
mysterious disappearance of ex-
sheriff John Afflerback who was
bomesteading in the Grass Range
country back in 1916.
A young man reared at York, Har-
ry Randolph, is alleged to have stolen
a car from that place and made his
way to Billings, where he left the car
in a garage. He went on to his home
stead in the Roy country.
The theft of the car was traced to
Randolph, and Mr.. Afflerback was
asked by the York authorities to re-
cover the car and bring Randolph
back to face a grand larceny charge.
Knew Him In Childhood.
The former sheriff had known
Randolph from the latter's childhood
and when he visited the man near
Roy, Randolph expressed his willing
ness to go back. They started rid
ing in the car Afflerback had recov-
cred. They were in Lewistown on
April Randolph later said that
Afflerback was with him until they
got there, when he went to the land
office. Afflerback did not return to
the car, and after waiting some time
Randolph said he drove on without
him.
However, before he got to Lewis
town it had been observed that he
had a large object stored away in the
rear of the car under canvass. The
it was later believed, was the
body of Afflerback.
Randolph got in some trouble in
Colorado and was returned to Ne
braska, where he served a short time
for stealing the car. Three years ago
be was shot and killed in Detroit by
a policeman in connection with a
robbery.
Afflerback's brother came here in
1916, and the route supposed to have
been followed by Randolph was gone
over, but no trace of the body of the
ex-sheriff could be found. Now a
skeleton unearthed near Laramie, is
believed to be that of the missing
man, as it corresponds as to height
and In the condition of the teeth. A
-usted bunch of keys found with the
skeleton may furnish the absolute
proof. The Officers of Nebraska
and Wyoming are conducting an in
Jestigation.

According to Taylor's statement
to Chief of Police Murphy, two men
ordered him to throw up his hands,
one OF them thrusting out his hand
covered by a handkerchief, which
was evidently supposed to conceal a
gun. Taylor said he pulled his gun
and grabbed McCorren by the throat,
and when the other started to run,
fired at him several times. The man
disappeared in the dark, though ap-
parently hit.
Taylor then called the police and
turned McCorren over to the GUS

GOVERNMENT HUNTERS
KILL MANY ANIMALS

Some idea of what the federal bu-
reau of biological survey is doing for
the sportsmen of Montana is shown
in the monthly report of Inspector r.
E. Bateman who is in charge of the
work in this state. During the month
of May, a total of 1927 predatory
animals were killed or taken.
In a letter to the hunters employed
under him, Mr.. Bateman writes:
During May Al regular salaried
and two cooperative hunters report
ed to the office and accounted for 900
true predatory animals, consisting of
10 adult and three bobcat kittens, 258
adult and GA coyote pups, two adult
and three wolf pups. In addition "a
coyotes were destroyed of which no
parts were saved, Is of which were
poisoned last winter, and 16 of which
were unmatured. This makes the
actual number of predatory animals
destroyed 954, which figuring on a
81 day basis averages 25 plus animals
per man. Three badgers and one
skunk were accounted for, while Is
badgers, seven skunks, a wild house
cat, and 103 p%orcupines were de-
stroyed of which no parts were saved.
Seven rattlesnakes, eight crows, five
hawks, 81 magpies and los magpie
eggs were destroyed. The hunters
also tore up % magpie nests.
1--WE wish to comment on the
large number of predatory animals
taken by some of the hunters during
the past month. 1t is believed that
June is almost as good a month for
den hunting as May, and that if the
hunters will take special care to COW
er the country and get into new To-
calities, they will do equally as well
as they did in May"

Barley Bad For Pigs

In tests carried on at the Montana
experiment station under the direc-
tion TO DR.. w. e. Joseph, it was found
that when barley alone was fed to
pigs, evidences of malnutrition very
quickly appeared. Pigs developed
leg weakness and pneumonia.
The addition of closely SKINNED
separator milk to the ration helped
somewhat but did not remedy the
fault. Skim milk with a little higher
per centage of butterfat produced bet
ter results. The addition of green
leafy alfalfa to the ration quickly cor
rected the trouble.

his third party plan, which he has long been

times of political unrest.
