.FROID PEOPLE
ROUND 'EM UP
Stage Successful Rabbit Drive and
Also Bag Four COyOtes-1OO Citi-
,zens Take Part in Slaughter of
Pests.

Last Sunday, according to schedule,
the sportsmen of Froid and the sur
rounding country, numbering about
100 men shouldered their shot guns
and formed a square around town
ship Sc north, of range 81 with the
firm intention of ridding that portion
Of the country of rabbits.
At 200 o'clock p. M, every man
from his outpost started for the cen
ter keeping as straight line as pos
sible to prevent the feet-footed ami
mails from getting through the line
and driving the rabbits to tne center.
There were many rabbits killed end
many more were mortally wounded
but managed to get into a hole. Sew
en- coyotes were routed out from their
hiding places on the prairie, but three
made their way through the ring un-
observed, while the other four met a
sad but good end, two being shot by
unknown parties and Norris Groven
and George Luebke each getting one.
The hunt was a grand success from
start to finish, including the coffee
made and brought to the center by
Mrs. Geo. Waters while it was steam
ing. The hunters brought their own
cups and lunch.

MASQUERADE BALL
THANKSGIVING NIGHT
d. of H. Lodge Completes Arrange
ments for Brilliant Array of
Clown, Ancient Ladies and Gents.
AristOcrats, TramDs Etc., at Farm
er Labor Temple, Nov. 26th.-
Kent's Orchestra Will Play.

In keeping with the reputation Of
The Degree of Honor Lodge in put
ting on the best masquerade ball of
the year, the members of that lodge
have completed arrangements for a
merry thrcng Of masqueraders and
some excellent prizes have been Sc
lected for the winners.
The dance will commence at 900
sharp and the grotesque figures will
trip the light fantastic until 11:OO
o'clock when the Grand March will
take place and the winners will be
awarded worthwhile prizes.
No one will be allowed on the floor
without being in full costume until
Il:OO o'clock. This rule will be
strictly adhered to, according to the
committee on arrangements, but after
ll:OO o'clock all will unmask and the
merry dance will continue until the
wee hours of the morning.
The price of admission will be SOC
to everyone, both ladies and gentle
men, masked or unmasked. This is
usual custom at masquerades as it
IS rather hard to tell which is which
from the costumes and a price for
everyone entering the hall prevents
confusion.
The well known Kent's orchestra
will furnish the music which assures
an evening full of pep from beginning
TO nd.
Delegations from all parts of the
county are planning on a sumptuous
dinner Thanksgiving day and then
driving to Plentywocd to take in the
big masquerade dance at the Farmer
Labor Temple. Plentywood will turn

ana glorious night for everyone.

Sunday night at 600 o'clock, Mel
vln Evension, well known farmer of
the Raymond country, had a narrow
escape from death when the tractor
which he was driving backed off q
bridge one-half mile south of Raw
mond and fell to the ground.
Mr.. Evenson was moving his
threshing outfit to the Dan Nicholson
farm to thresh and had crossed the
bridge south Of Raymond and started
up an incline. Tn some way the en-
CINE refused to perform and the out
fit began to go backwards down the
mill, the weight of the separator
pulling the engine with it. The night
was dark and after getting the sep
arator safely on the bridge the en-
CINE went through the railing and
dropped to the ground twenty feet be-
low, taking Mr.. Evenson with it.
Joe and Kenneth Collins fortunate
ly happened along at the time. and
after getting the unfortunate man
from the debris, brought him to the
PlentywoOd hospital, where an exam
nation showed a badly bruised body
and broken hip.
just how My. Evenson escaped be-
ing crushed to death by the mass of
iron no one knows, but it was a very
narrow escape. The engine is a to-
tai wreck.
Mr.. Evenson the week before had
a narrow escape when team ran
way, but his lucky charm was with
him and he again escaped.
The popular Raymond farmer has
the well-wishes of his friends in his
series of accidents and they are hop-
ing that the last accident broke the
jinx which has been lowering around
him for the past year.

COULD CLOSE
MONTANA MINES

COULD CLOSE
MONTANA MINES
For years past it has been QUIETLY
acquiring vast copper properties in
Chile and other parts of South Amer
lea. At the last election the spokes-
men Tor the Anaconda limited strong
ly that they could deliver this copper
Tor eight cents a pound in New
England and that if the Mines TaA
bill was passed they might close down
their Montana copper properties.
They have told delegations of miners
and smeltermen, who asked for an in
crease of wage, stories to the same
effect.
CAN BROWBEAT
LEGISLATORS
With the acquisition of the Silesia
mines, manned by cheap labor, the
Anaconda Company, are in a position
where they can get all the zinc and
copper ore abroad and shut down
their mines in Montana for lone
periods of time. They can. use this
as a whip over their miners when
they demand higher wage and thev
can browbeat legislative sessions in
to submissions on taxing matters bv
the use of the same weapon.
COMPANY LOBBYISTS BUSY
IN WASHINGTON
There is only one thing that the
high Officials of the Anaconda Com
pany fear and that is the imposition
of a tariff on copper which would
make the copper, mined by peon la
Dor IN Chile as expensive to the
eastern manufacturing interests, as
the copper mined at home. If a
tariff were imposed on copper as it
is now in steel, aluminium and other
precious metals, the Anaconda Com
pany would be forced to operate its
mines In Montana or lose its trade
to Independent producers in Arizona
and other western states. 1t is stat
ed that the company lobbyists are
now busy in Washington, D. c., lin
ing up Senators to oppose the forth
coming tariff bill of Senator Gamer
on of Arizona who is out to avert the
menace to the mining
towns of his state. The fine Italian
hand of the Anaconda company has
shown itself in propaganda

CAPITALIST REPORTERS
TO BE BARRED
The coming of Bouck, VINO is a
farm speaker of national fame, has
resulted in focusing the eyes Of the
state on eastern Montana. Several
papers have written in asking when
he is to be here, presumably with the
intention of sending reporters. They
might save their note paper because
it IS the intention of the promoters to
bar representatives of the capitalistic
press from the meeting. BOuck has
message of considerable import to
the farmers of Montana and he is
not going to give away his strategy
to the enemy. He is a straight from
the shoulder speaker and the people
who come to hear him will long re-
member his meetings.
MEETINGS TO BE HELD IN
DANIELS AND ROOSEVELT
COUNTIES
Requests for dates for Bouck meet
ings are now coming in to the Pro-
ducers News. Next week we will
try to arrange a schedule, but it is
now certain that he will speak at
Scobey and maybe Flaxville and 9th
er towns in that territory as well as
in Roosevelt and Sheridan county.
Remember the date he is to be at
Plentywood and Outlook and make
your arrangements accordingly.
