STATE AUTO BODY
SPONSORING SOUND
HIGHWAY PROGRAM

Details Of the plan under which the
temporary organization Of the Mon
tana Automobile association purposes
to operate, and of the adequate good
roads program it expects to sponsor
we're explained Thursday noon by T.
o. Hammond of Helena, treasurer,
and Addison X. Lusk of MissOula,
executive secretary, at a meeting at
the BOzemap grill.
The prime purposes of the Crganiza-
tion, the speakers said, are to bring
the motorists of the state into one
substantial body through which they
can work 90 far better advantage than
through scattered localized groups,
and to get behind some sound, con-
servative, and adequate road program
that viii bring the greatest possible
improvement for the highways Of
Montana.
The present Montana Automobile
association is only a temporary or
ganization, but the intention is to
build it up to a point where a per-
manent organization can be effected.
Membership in the state body carries
with it numerous benefits, including
a card in the American Automobile
association which insures certain cour-
tesies and privileges wherever one
may be. The membership fee is $40,
which pays up until April 1, 1927.
The meeting at the grill was well
attended, and considerable interest
was manifested. Further details Of
the associations plans and purposes
viii be published later.

UTAH AGGIES TRIM

BY SCORE OF lO-7
Thousands See State College
Boys Make Glorious But
Futile Bid for Victory

LOGAN, Utah, Nov. II. (By AssO-
ciated Press. Montana State col
Iege bowed before the Utah Aggies
this afternoon when the latter team
won the Armistice Day game by
score of z to 10. Thousands of spec
tators viewed the complete dominance
of the Utahans over the Mcntanans
although the final score hardly re-
vealed the difference in the two
elevens.
The game was fought mildly in the
first half, during which the Az
gies acquired three points through the
medium of a place kick, bat the last
half was filled with exciting moments
from the starting whistle until the
final gun. Utah made their touch
down when a forward pass from Led
bingham to Martindale was completed
bringing the Aggies into the lead af-
ter Montana had succeeded in making
a touchdown in the third quarter
when Dobeus blocked an Aggie punt
and raced with the ball to Utah's one
yard line, followed by a touchdown in
three line plunges.

W. c. DAILY TAKES
over THE HERALD
AT Three FORKS
Mr.. and Mrs. Dorsey, Veterans
of Newspaper Game, An
nOunce Retirement

w. G. Daily, an experienced news
paper man who halls from Minnesota,
has taken over the Three Forks Her
aid, which was founded in 1908 by Mr..
and Mrs. Paul S. Dorsey and since
that time conducted by them in so
satisfactory and creditable a manner.
Mr.. Daily has been many years in
the newspaper and printing business,
understands it thoroughly, and ap-
pears entirely competent to conduct
the Herald as a first class newspaper
that will be an asset to Three Forks.
In an announcement last week he de-
clared that the Herald will continue
to be independent in politics and will
endeavOr to serve the best interests
of the community. It is understood
that Mr.. Daily has leased the Herald
for a specific period with an option
to buy it later if he so desires.
While The Courier welcomes Mr..
Daily to the Gallatin journalistic field
most cordially, and wishes him the
fullest measure Of prosperity and
good will, it must express regret at
the retirement of Mr.. and Mrs. Dor
sey-those staunch pioneers Of journ-
alism in western Gallatin county who
have fought a good fight in more
respects than simply making a success
Of their newspaper enterprise.
In its early days the Herald strug-
gled against many unfavOrable con-
ditiOns. It's field was small and the
resources upon which it could draw
were slender. But under the able,
fair, and public-spirited management
of its proprietOrs it steadily gained in
popularity and influence until it be-
came a substantial enterprise, speak

CARD DECEMBER 8
Fans Assured Of Fine Entertain
Ment-OppOnent for Carl
son Is Sought

With the obtaining Of the required
guarantee and the signing up of
'ScOtty" Mcdonald Of BOzeman and
Emmett WOmack Of Ennis for the
main event, Gallatin boxing fans were
this week assured OF another excel
lent card, to be staged at Manhattan
on the evening Of Thursday, Decem-
Der 8.
The program, like those that have
preceded it, will be in the nature of
a benefit for the Manhattan public
schools. Promoter Harry Altenbrand
said yesterday that two or three of
the preliminaries had already been
tentatively arranged, but that no op-
pOnent had as yet been found for Max
Carlson Of Livingston, who is expect
ed to appear in the semi-windup.
"Scotty" Mcdonald WIS third man
in the ring several weeks ago when
Womack fought and won a decision
over Rex Moore Of Livingston. Firm
ly believing he could whip the Ennis
battler, "Scotty" was willing to meet
him under a provision that the win
ner take the entire purse. Womack
however, baked, and the match has
been arranged on a 6O-4O basis. Con-
tracts already have been signed and
forfeits deposited.
One of the preliminaries win be
between Earl Warwood of Belgrade
and Frank Sostello Of Manhattan
Warwood not long ago fought a draw
with Harold Kaiser, and SostellC
Jared likewise in his 60 with Jimmy
McAllister. Both men are willing
mixers, and their meeting in ths
squared circle should provide plenty
of excitement.

In Justice Court, to Charge
of Third Degree Assault

Thirty dollars fine was the penalty
imposed Thursday morning by w. H.
Axtell, justice of the peace, upon

entered a plea of guilty to a charge
Of third degree assault. The fine was

alleged that Smith had cuffed and
struck him after an alteration which
followed the Montana Wyoming foot
ball game Homecoming day, October
80. The dispute was over parking
rules, which Robertson asserted Smith
had violated.
The case against Sheriff Smith was
set for trial in justice court Monday
morning. A jury was impaneled and
a number of citizens had gathered
when, a few minutes before proceed
ings were scheduled to begin, Smith
appeared before Justice Axtell and
informed him that he would enter a
plea Of guilty. The justice took the
matter Of passing sentence under ad-
visement until Thursday morning

day night from Fort Clark to San
Antonio by automobile as Second
Lieutenant William J. Bradley, at
tached to the Fifth Cavalry at Fort
Clark, lay wounded and bleeding in
the tonneau.
Examination at the hospital, how
ever, disclosed the wounds would not
prove fatal but that Lieutenant Brad
lev has lost the sight of his left eye
and would probably be permanently
disfigured.
He was the third hunting victim to
suffer from serious gunshot wounds
this yesr.
His case, however, differed from the
two others in that he was not acct
dentally shot but suffered wounds fol-
lowing the premature explosion of a
rifle cartridge.
1t was while attempting to throw a
cartridge into the barrel of his gun
that the shell exploded. Fragments
of brass cut him seriously about the
face and head. His companions be-
lieving him fatally wounded drove
throughout the night to reach th'

JUDGE NJ CRORX
FLAYS ROAD
CONTRACTS
Says Bexar County Work
Cost State $4,000
Too Much.

Recent acts of the state highway
commission in letting road contracts
were flayed and the vigor with which
Attorney General Dan Moody attacked
and repudiated such acts were highly
commended by Judge W. W. McCrory
of the Ninety-fourth District Court
in an address before the Conopus club
at its luncheon in the Menger hctsl
Friday.
Judge McCNry cited numerous fis.
ures from the records to show that
road contracts for Bexar and neigh
boring counties were let at exorbitant
rates by the highway commission, -
constituted before recent designations.
The contract for the maintenance
Of roads in Bexar county was let for
$11,720, he declared.
II know of responsible contractors
who submitted bids to do the work
in this county for S4S,O00,'' Jude
McCrory said. ~This would have al
lowed the contractors $4,000 profit
for their work, and would have saved
the state nearly $4,000"
Similar statistics for Jackson
Wharton, Matagorda and other coun--
ties were quoted to show the road
contracts were not awarded on the
basis of low bids.
