taken Immediately to a hospital and
died as he was being carried inside.
The bullet penetrated the lower por-
tion of his heart.
The slayer ran after firing the shot
and short time later Lyons walked
up to two policemen and asked if any
body had been shot. He so nearly
corresponded to the description of
the gunman given by Mrs. Curry
as the man who shot her husband
that he was taken to the police sta
ton for examination. There, the pol
ice say, he was positively identified
by Mrs. Curry as the man who did the
shooting, but the prisoner denied any
knowledge of the crime. Several
hours later he was awakened in his
cell by Sergeant D. T. McElliott and
it is alleged he broke down and con-
fessed the shooting when informed
that Curry had died.

KILL 800 COYOTES in
VALLEY COUNTY DRIVE

Great inroads have been made in
the coyote population of Valley coun-
ty during the past two months as a
result of special determination cam
paign put on by the sheepmen of the
county, according to M. e. Stebbins,
county agent. Under the plan the
sheepmen raised $1,000 by assessing
the growers at the rate of cents a
head, and this sum matched by asim-
liar amount from the state furnished
tempting bounties for hunters. Boun-
ties on mother coyotes were set at

Mary Roberts Rinehart and E. A.
Brininstool.
The following poems by Brock
ett are taken from a little book of
verse called, Fenced Up Trails, F."
which were read at a Wolves club
gathering at Eaton's ranch.
"Cowboy Sentiment"
When the herds a'grazin' good, and
your pardner's gone to sleep,
An there's nothin much to do but
lay around.
It's then you think about the future
the present and the past,
When you're laying and a dozin' on
the ground.
You think about some gal you met
month or so ago,
And the thoughts of her-they kind
of make you dream;
The Wolf Point herald., 1924-07-10

Then you wish you wasn't quite sc
slow
Or that women were exactly what
they seem.
You think about the little home just
big enough for two,
You can see her there a smilin' all
the time;
With just little bit of work to do,
Such as sweep the floor and cook you
something fine.
And you wont be a'punchin' cows
You'll quit it all for good,
You'll get place and settle down
for life;
And there wont be nothin' much for
you to do,
Only just to love and please your
little wife.
All at once you hear a whoopin'-
and you know it's the relief.
You can see him comm towards YOU
on the run;
Pretty soon you see it's Shorty-iust
common ole cow-hand,
But he's like all others-full of fun.
Then you realize his comm means
that you can go to camp,
And that supper's ready for you when
you do.
Then all your towers have crumbled
with the comm of relief,
And this cowboy life means every
thing to you.
You jump up quick like a relay man,
And hit your pony down the thigh;
You're just common ole cow-hand-
And you'll be one when you die.
IF
If you've never suffered hunger
From early morn till late at night,
If you never was hot an thirsty
Till a spring fixed things alright,
If you never saddled up at daylight
To make a circle long and far,
If you never topped a broncho
And got that buckin' jar,
If you never wrestled calves
Till your back ached plumb thro,
And never went a'reppin' in a country
strange and new,
If you never swan river
On horse that couldn't swim,

The Verse of Bruce Brockett, Montana s.
Cowboy Poet, Registers True Romance
and Realities of Western Ranger Life

And never stood night guard
In your little old hen skin,
Then you don't know much of COW
boys,
And the things they are and amt.
All you know is just a glitter
That's been told with words of
paint.
Right now want to tell you
It's not half like what they draw,
Though cowboy is as happy
AS anyone you ever saw
He quits sometimes and goes to town
And swears he's going to stay;
But when he thinks it oven
He comes back right away;
Cause there's something fine about it
That makes them all return in
time,
And live among the cattle,
The alkali, and lime.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Mary Roberts Rinehart-
IN nef COWBOY garb arrayed,
Don't look like an eastern author
A restin from her trade.
You see her lopin' toward you
In her chaps and muffler gay,
Her 8 x beaver tilted
In that good old western way.
Just settin' in the saddle
Like as if she didn't care
What her pony did or didn't
Cause she'd set him fair and
square.
She's the kindest hearted person
UnneedfuI of test,
And fits in with the habits
Of the people in the West.

in many of the localities where fruits
are being shipped successfully to dis
tant markets the quality is not nearly
up to that of the Bitter Root product,
the height of production comes at a
time when the markets may be glut-
ted and the yield per acre is not
nearly so high as in the Bitter Root

Mr.. Ward has spent AZ years in
the Bitter Root valley. For years he
has advocated improved methods of
marketing, declaring that the prod
ucts would sell themselves if prop
erly presented to the public.
The Bitter Root Farm Products
company, under the management of
Charles Crawford, representing the
DAILY estate, has given every possible
encouragement to the farmers for the
betterment of their marketing. This
concern, with capital of 100000,
will be the agency, if present plans
carry out, for placing the valleys fine
products before the world.
The whole project is one which
has provided an incentive to every
man and woman in the valley. In

TIME history of a nomadic
l people lives in the songs and
stories of their poets or min
strels. True of ancient times, it is
still true today in the sections in
habited by Americas national type
of cowboy.
Whether in the trail songs, those
endless tunes of the night herd; or
the livelier passages that may be
heard at chuck-wagon gatherings,
country dances or wilder nights in
town, the cowboy faithfully records
the romance and tragedy of his
calling.
The COW country has countless
such songs and poems of nameless
origin that are known far and wide,
but of those individuals who have
been successful in this particular
field few can lay claim to an init
mate knowledge of the life they
portray.
The work of Charles Badger
Clark, E. A. Brininstool, H. H.
Frank B. Linderman and
one or two others being the most
outstanding examples.
In southern Montana there lives
a young rider, Bruce Brockett, who
is unusually talented in this way.

the Board of Education of District
No. IL as Directors at the election
to be held on Saturday, July 10.
Frank Erchuil, Jr. has also filed.
The filings closed on Monday even

Several were under the impression
that the closing of the filings was
ten days before election and intend
ed to file at that time. Now since
the date passed by them, they have
given up the idea.
However, DR.. H. C. Newgord was
prevailed upon by the ladies of the
Law Enforcement League to cast
his hat in the ring and he will be a
candidate conducting his campaign
with stickers.
It is the duty of every good citi-
zen to vote at this election. The
same rules as apply at other cleo
tions prevail in this. You must be
a citizen of the United States, a
citizen of the state of Minnesota for
six months and citizen of the dis
trict for thirty days and be 81
years of age. This applies to men

LEGION BOYS STAGE A
GLORIOUS CELEBRATION.
From Early Morning Until Late at Night There
Was Joy and Happiness-.-Not an Accident
Happened to Mar the Day.
Weather Built for the Occasion--.Not Hot or
Cold, just Right-.-Good Sports, Parade,
Ball Game, Fireworks, Dance.

The finest display Of fireworks
ever shown here was burned on the
hill south of the ball park at
o'clock. 1t opened with a lombard
ment of aerial bombs after which
rockets, fountains, candles, cascades,
wheels and set pieces followed.
Someone with a sense of alleged
humor had fired a fiery cross a
short distance from the fireworks.
The report at once became general
that the Clan were here but it ap-
peared more like punk joke to
those who saw the display.
"The Virginians" Of Virginia fur
nished the music for the ball at the
Auditorium in the evening and
which was attended by over two
hundred couples. The music was
good and the crowd congenial. The
dance broke up at 2 o'clock.
The day was ideal. 1t had rained
the day before and the ground was
jus right minimizing the fire danger
attendent on such days. Not a
cloud marred the festivities all day
and no accidents were recorded al
though there were many narrow
escapes. The police had their part
well in hand and they were kept
busy as auto traffic at times tended
on the dangerous. One thing that
has never been explained is why
people will persist in driving into
and through crowd when they can
get around it. Also why will some
try out their engines with the cut
out open when speakers are trying
to talk to a crowd or someone is
making an announcement.
It was a fine celebration and the
Legion boys and the Auxiliary mem
bers are to be congratulated. Both
organizations did excellent and hard
work. The several stands main
tanned by the organizations did good
business.
