Dublin in connection with the mutiny
in the ranks Of the nationalist army,
as disclosed in the official ~communica-
ton, saying that orders for the arrest
of Mai. Gen. Liam Tobin and Col
Charles Dalton had been issued.
A political meeting in connection
with the by-election for a dali seat was
attended by about 10000 persons and
was characterized throughout by ex-
IRENE disorder. There were frequent
shouts Of Cup, De Valera !"
Precautions have been taken for any
ev~entuality. The guards have been
doubled at all Dublin barracks, leaves
of absence have been cancelled and
there is unusual military activity.
In addition to the trouble at Temple

TARIFF RAISED TO BAR
CANADA FLOOD OF GRAIN

Washington.-An increase Of II
cents a bushel in the tariff rate on
wheat was ordered by President Cool
idge. Acting under the flexible pro-
vision of the tariff, the president also
ordered an increase of 26 cents a hun
bred pounds in the duty on wheat flour
and a decrease of 80 per cent in the
ad valorem rate on mill feeds. The
new rate on wheat. will be ~ cents a
bushel, compared with the present
rate of 30 cents. All rates become eff
fective in 80 days.
The increase will become effective
in time to be applied to the flood of
Canadian wheat which descends on
the United States about the middle of
April each year with the opening of
navigation on the Great Lakes.
The advance in rates was sought to
aid particularly the hard wheat grow
ers of the northwest, but the resultant
increase in the price of spring wheat
is expected to be reflected in the mar
ket quotations on winter wheat raised
in the middle western and other states.

CAR-WAGON COLLISION
RESULTS IN DISASTER

While returning to Glasgow in a
light delivery car, J. X. Mitchell, city
treasurer and acting manager, collided
head on with a team and heavy wagon,
driven by Col. e. f. Jacobs, auctioneer,
and sustained injuries which necessl-
tated the taking of 10 stitches, and an
hour and a half's work on the operat-
ing table at the local hospital.
With two others, Mitchell left the
city for a trip into the country. When
u about four miles, the lights on the
car refused to function, so they were
returning to the city to have them re-
paired.
They had gone only a short distance
when the accident occurred, the inn
pact lo~osening the wagon pole from
the neckyoke and forced it up through
the windshield of the automobile,
catching Mitchell in the mouth and
tearing and decorating his face.
The other victims of the accident re-
ceived only slight bruises from broken
glass and the shock. Colonel Jacobs
back was wrenched.

BEET GROWERS
ACCEPT 1924 CONTRACT
Conference, With Commercial Club as
Mediator, Results in a Salts
factory Adjustment

The beet growers of the Billings dis
trict, the Great Western Sugar COM
pany and the Billings Commercial club
Joined hands in a movement which
resulted in the sugar company agree
ing to eliminate the limited liability
clause from the 1924 contract and as
sures that between 25,O00 and $1,000
acres Of sugar beets will be planted in
the Billings district this year. The
announcement of the sugar company
that the clause would be eliminated
was the big event of the year in beet
growing circles. The concession was
made after the Billings Commercial
club had espoused the of the
beet groves and through its board OF
trustees had sent a special committee
to wait upon the sugar company.
The clause complained of is that
waving liability of either party to the
contract in Ease non-fulfillment of its
terms if due to strikes, fires or acct
dents. Owing to the presence of that
clause, the 400 members of the newly
formed beet growers association had
declined to accept the contract and
existed at one time a serious
possibility that. as a result of the con-
troversy, there would be a large de-
crease in the beet acreage for 1924 in
stead of an increase as has been an
-icipated.

OF ENTOMbEO
MINERS BEING REMOVED
Several Charred Bodies Brought Out;
One HeImetman Dies of Asphyxl-
alton in Gas-fiIled Galleries

Castle Gate, Utah.-Ten charred
and mutilated bodies have been re-
moved from mine No. 2 of the Utah
Fuel company, in which l7o miners
were eatombed as the result of an
explosion. About 20 other bodies have
been located, but not removed from
the mine. Gas in the inner recesses
of the mine is hampering the work OF
r~escuers, it is understood. 1t is gen.
orally believed all of the miners per-
iShed.
There are approximately 20 bodies
on one of the slopes in the mine, but
it is impossible to reach them because
of distractions, according to two
helmetmen who came out Of the work
ings at 6 o'clock in the evening.
The interior recesses of the mine are
filled with poisonous gas, according
to helmetmen, and they have had to
proceed cautiously. There is no short
age of men willing to risk life to get
to comrades within the mine.
Two helmetmen were overcome, and
George Wilson, head of a crew from
Standardville, died from asphyxiation
when the nose piece of his helmet be-
came detached several hundred feet
inside the main portal.
Rescue crews are getting better or
ganized, but just how long it will be
before all of the mine can be explored
is uncertain. A United States bureau
of mines car arrived from Wyoming
and government officials are lending
all possible aid.
The Knights of Phythias hall here
is being used as a morgue and the
bodies recovered from the mine have
been taken there.

PRISON SHADOW
FOR TRAGIC JEST
Man Who Killed Chum in William
Tell Imitation Spared by
District Court

In the district court at Hardin, be-
Cosgrove, charged with involuntary
manslaughter, was found guilty, the
jury fixing punishment at from n to
two years in the state prison. The
sentence was suspended by the court.
The death of Henry Abendroth In
August, 1922, occurred while he was
riding the range during the fall round
up in company with COsgrove and two
or three other employees of the j. b.
Long Cattle company, witnesses testi-
flying that his death was due to his
having beer shot by Cosgrove. On the
date of the shooting the men were re-
turning from work when Abendroth, it
seems, challenged Cosgrove to shoot
a hole through his hat, which he was
holding in his hand. Cosgrove was
considered an expert shot with a six
shooter, and Immediately drew his
gun and shot at the hat, but missed.
Abendroth her placed his hat upon
his head, and was supposed to have
made remarks to the effect that Cos
grove could not hit the hat while it
was on the owners head. AT any rate,
the second shot was fired, and Aben-
droth fell to the ground mortally in
jured, the bullet having entered his
head just above the left ear, and died
within a few minutes.
Cosgrove then came to Hardin, a
distance of more than 80 miles, and no.
titled the coroner and sheriff.
In passing sentence, Judge Spencer
paroled the young man after admon-
ishing him to discontine such danger
Gus pranks. This action seems to
meet general approval.

GASSER COMES IN NEAR
BROADVIEW, SALTWATER co.

A flow of gas, estimated at between
100000 and 100000 cubic feet per
day, has been struck at the Murray
No. 3 well on the Broadyiew dome,
seven miles south of that place and ~
miles northwest Of Billings. The gas
is said to be of an extremely wet char
acter, with a very high gasoline 0 n
tent.
The flow was struck in the first
frontier sands at a depth of 1,46O feet.
The drill had not penetrated more than
a foot into the sand before the gas
was struck. It is the intention of the
company to case off the gas, using it
for commercial purposes and continue
drilling, as a slight spray of oil was
at first noted in the gas which is
coming from the well.

NEAR FIST FIGHT STARTS
BONUS BILL LEGISLATION

Washington.-Soldier bonus legisla-
ton got away to a flying start at the
first executive meeting of the house
ways and means committee, when it
voted, 16 to 4, to frame a bill, but a
snag was struck when the form of
payment was discussed.
Attention was centered on two plans
-paid-up insurance policies, and a
two-fold scheme with options of full
cash payments or insurance. After a
heated discussion Of the proposal,
marked by a spirited verbal battle be-
tween Representatives Treadway of
Massachusetts, and Crowther of New
York, Republicans, further considera-
ton was postponed.
Representative Treadway was one
of those voting against any form OF
bonus, and when Mr.. Crowther later
charged the committee with dilatory
tactics, which, he said, were aimed to
delay the progress of the legislation,
Mr.. Treadway took issue.
One word led to another, and Repre-
sentative Bacharach, Republican, New
Jersey, stepped between the two mem
bers when they started toward each
A reconciliation was quickly
effected.
The other three who opposed the
bonus were Representatives Tilson,
and Mills, New York, Re
and Collier emOcra Mis-
sissippi.

Results Of Farm Bureaus Work

Fl. f. DePew, reputed to be the best

bureau.
1t is his opinion that Richland coun-
ty agriculture is on a better basis than
eve before and that business and
finance will soon sense the fact. Ac-
cording to Mr.. DePew, present troubles
come from the fact that it is pay day
for past mistakes, rather than present
