MILITARY AUTHORITY
TELLS OF BUNKER HILL

Late last September an American
Expeditionary force, consisting of the
18th Infantry, supplemented by a
small detachment of the 10th, left
its quarters in New York harbor for
location in the hills of southern
New York near the quaint old village
of Somers. The mission of these
troops was not to represent their
country in battle, but on the con-
trary to play the part of their guam
dam enemies, the British Regulars,
in the stirring scenes of Revolution
ary history to be depicted for the
first time on the silver screen, to
serve as an indelible record of the
patriotic deeds of our forefathers.
These troops of the famous 1st
Division were part of the army of
actors to be used in the filming of
the play America" staged by that
master genius Of the movies, Mr.. D.
w. Griffith. at the Liberty theatre on
Thursday and Friday. A reconnais-
sance party preceded the expedition
by several days and. having met Mr.
Griffith and his very able staff, soon
caught the spirit of the play.
A pyramidal tent camp was estab-
lished near Brewster, N. Y, water
piped in, and the first day spent in
getting acquainted with the various
sorts of variegated uniforms of the
British, Colonials, French, Tory
Greens and Morgan's Rifemen White

ROOMING HOUSE RAID
RESULTS in ARREST

Tom Dorr (also spelled Doer) was
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Council
on the 18th on a warrant charging
him with keeping Intoxicating IL
quors for sale at his rooming house
on South Front street. The arrest
followed a search of DORIS premises
which yielded several gallons of al
legged intoxicants. Evidence lead
ing to the search was revealed when
Joe Medicine Cloud and another
Indian were arrested on charge of
disturbing the peace, on the 18th.
Dorr was brought before Charles
Gordon's justice court and bound
over to the action of the district
court, bail being set at $500. The
defendant was lodged in Jail but
later secured signers to bond and
was then released.

FRIEND OF SIEGERT
SAYS ROBBERY MOTIVE

John Dorgan, of the Pershing
community, a friend and near neigh
Dor of Charles (Carl) Siegert, muir
dered Scobey man, was a caller at
the Herald office Wednesday. Mr..
Dorgan says that Siegert told him
that he had 500 which he intended
to use in opening up bottling works
in Scobey. As Siegert had no funds
in the bank at the time of his death
it is presumed that he had drawn it
out and that robbery was the motive
His body was found floating in the
Poplar creek by two Scobey school
teachers last Saturday. A cap had
been pulled down over the face and
hid a bullet wound in the temple.
At the coroner's inquest the verdict
that he had been murdered by un-
known parties was given.
Siegert came to the Pershing COM
munity from Long Prairie, Mimi,
and took up land. Last fall he went
to Scobey and said he planned on
opening bottling works. When no
mail was received from him in three
weeks brother, John Siegert, came
out here, arriving in Scobey on Sat
urday, just three hours before the
body was located. The only light he
was able to throw on the case was
that the mackinaw found on the
dead body was not his brothers.

%. One of the chief objects of the
meeting is discussion of the propo-
sition of acquiring the shipping

and bayonets afforded quite con-
trast to the sight of soldier in con-
ventional 0. D.
The troops were drilled for a short
time in the facings and in forming
fours, style 1775, somewhat similar
to the present British drill.
Perhaps the most widely celebrated
battle in American history is that of
Bunker HILL This was staged with
the greatest possible accuracy to his
torical facts and will no doubt afford
the best showing on the screen. Tao
tically speaking, the battle consisted
of three main assaults on a redoubt
and breastworks on the top of Breeds
Hill. The British troops moved for
ward slowly and steadily, in company
front, the whole line forming sort
of semi-circle around the foot of the
hill, the Grenadiers on the right. The
troops were heavily laden and carried
knapsacks. They delivered volleys
with the regularity of a full dress
parade and moved steadily onward
right up to the breastworks, where
Prescott gave the famous command,
sDon't fire until you see the whites
of their eyes," and in the volleys
that blazed from the rifles of the
Minute Men, the Grenadiers lost from
three-fourths to nine-tenths of their
men.
The charge was repeated with like
results. Then the third charge was
made, but without knapsacks. This
time the Red Coats held their fire and
stormed the redoubt and breastworks
with the bayonet. They went clear
over, gaining tactical victory, but
with loss of over twenty-five hun

INTENSE INTEREST
in BURESH-HOUSE

Never in the history of the town
has there been such intense interest
in a sporting event as has developed
over the wrestling match between
Stanley Buresh and Elwood House
which will take place at the Liberty
Theatre the evening of May 20. 1t
is held to be mat contest of the
first rank for men of their weights,
around It's or 1876 pounds.
House has met with very few de-
feats and his recent victory over
Bozinni, a finished wrestler whose
home is in Boston. placed him notch
higher in the opinion of his friends.
House is heavier than Buresh and
is also considerably older. He has
the advantage of long experience
and it is said he is getting in the
best of condition for this match.
Stanley Buresh has never lost
match to an opponent at or anywhere
near his weight. He has youth,
strength, speed, science and un-
bounded confidence in himself. He
is great on defense and his followers
simply cannot entertain such an idea
as his defeat. A great bout and a
long one is predicted Seats are in
strong demand. The ferry boats
will cross with Southsiders after the
match.

FERGUSON THE WINNER
In PLENTYWOOD BOUT

"Chick" Ferguson, local light
weight boxer, won the decision over
Bill Garner a Plentywood fighter,
in the seventh or, as some claim, the
eighth round. The decision was Civ
en- on foul after Garner had been
warned by Referee Harry Burnham
of Dooley half a dozen or more
times. The referees warnings were
based, it is said. on Gamers habit
of using his shoulders and elbows
on his opponent in the clinches.
The Plentywood boy was much
heavier and three inches taller than
''Fergy'' which gave him a fine chance
to come up under "Chicks" chin
with his shoulder when the two were
clinched. In the first three rounds
it is said that Garner made good
showing, but beginning with the
fourth the going got tougher and
tougher for him and it is claimed
that there would have no doubt Of
the outcome if the decision had not
been made on foul.
Garner was scheduled to go six
rounds with Bobby O'Brien as pre-
liminary to the Bolster Miller bout
at the Liberty theatre here Friday
evening but since the match with
Ferguson gave notice that he was
not coming and Ferguson will take
his place.

FIRST Home GAME
GOES TO VISITORS
SCOBEY'S BIG LEAGUE STARS
SLAUGHTER THE LOCALS
"RUTH" FULLY.

The Scobey-Wo Point ball game
Sunday was not exactly the kind of
a diamond contest that usually opens
the season in this city. There was
fine crowd. beautiful weather, ex-
cellent ground, an umpire that gave
the rooters no end of thrills. while
the game itself came under the head
of 'good comedy in addition"
The score of ITO in favor Of the
visitors was explained by the plain
fact that the Wolf Point team was
outclassed. Besides having had no
practice to speak of the Wolves have
not yet completed their lineup and
played the return game with Scobey
with a picked-up aggregation. Sew
eral of the boys displayed a very
good article of ball. The work of
the battery, Smith and Busby would
have been very creditable with a
strong team behind them. AS it was
there were some bright spots in the
play of the Wolves such as two nice
double plays, one by Bill Burgess
unassisted and one by Ferguson and
Burgess.
AS for the boys from the "great-
est primary wheat market" they have
three professional stars who are
drawing good salaries, supplemented
by a strong lineup of home players.
Their boxman was none other than
"Swede" Risberg, according to re-
ports which are no doubt correct,
who only a few seasons ago was one
of the best pitchers on the staff of
the Chicago White Sox.
The local players admit that they
are sadly in need of few more
players to brace their lineup and say
there is a healthy sentiment among
the business men in favor of getting |
them. 1t is a certainty that if Wolf |
Point has ball team she wants a
winning aggregation as that is the
kind she has always had, with very |
few exceptions.

OPHEIM BRANCH
IS ASSURED SOON
BRANCH FROM SCOBEY WEST
WARD TENTATIVELY PROM
ISED BY OFFICIALS

Extension of the Great Northern
railway westward from Scobey,
county seat, of Daniels county, to
Opheim, in northern Valley county,
a distance of approximately SO miles,
was tentatively agreed upon at a
mass meeting at Opheim last Satur-
day which was attended by about
500 farmers from the area interest
ed. The railway was represented
by L. C. Gilman, vice president and
general council; A. H. Hoagland,
chief engineer, and James Robinson,
assistant general freight agent.
Construction is contingent on the
farmers in the Opheim-Scobey dis
trict purchasing $500 shares Great
Northern stock at par as evidence of
their good will toward the railway
company. Within a few hours after
Mr.. Gilman stated his proposition
$4,000 of the $3.50, 900 stock guar
antee had been subscribed, and Of
ficials of the North Country Rail
road committee announced that they
could raise the balance in two or
three weeks.
Grading of the roadbed will be
started this summer. Immediately fol-
lowing the approval of the plan by
the board of directors of the Great
Northern system, and rails will be
laid next year. Mr.. Gilman said that
it was proposed to have the line in
operation by October 1, 1926.
Mr.. Gilman and his associates ar
rived in the Opheim country last
week on Thursday in response to an
invitation of the North Coast Rail
road committee of which w. G..
Kahle of Opheim is chairman. Other
officials of the committee are John
Mason, vice chairman H. N. Isaacs,
secretary, and F. F. Smith. treasurer.
This committee has been working on
the proposition of getting the Great |,
Northern interested in the proposed
for several months.
Mr.. Gilman, Mr. Hoagland and
Mr.. Robinson spent three days prior
to the mass meeting going over the
route and inspecting the
farms in the territory that viii he
served by the new railway.-Greatl !
