Valentino Takes Boxing
Lessons From Dempsey

Rudolph Valentino has taken up
boxing in a serious way and has
engaged Gentleman Gene" Del
mont, well-known professional prize
fighter, as his trainer. No less per
son than Jack Dempsey, friend of
Valentines, is also helping with the
stars ring training. Jack drops
around to the studio once or twice
a week to see how his protege is
progressing in fisticuffs.
Valentino boxed nearly every
morning during the making of "Cob-
ra," which will open at the Liberty
theatre, beginning Thursday, for
two days. belmont came to the stu
dio at 6 o'clock and boxed for an
hour with the star.
"When he told me to be there at
6, thought he was joking" Del
mont said "But I got there prompt
" on time the first day and found
he was already there ahead of me.
AValentino would make an excel
lent boxer. He is very fast on his
feet and has a good wallop. His
physique is surprising.
Cobra" was adapted from the
Martin Brown play which ran for
seven months on Broadway. The
strong supporting cast includes Nita
Naldi, Gertrude Olmsted, Casson Fer

SOME RABBIT HUNTERS

Todd Shamley and Ed Ablin have
issued challenge to the rabbit hum

They shot 60 rabbits in a short

TWO DAIRY SCHOOLS
VALUABLE TO FARMERS

Two dairy schools were conducted
last week, one at the Froid Creamery
and the other in the Lanark COM
munity with 29 farmers registered
at these two afternoon sessions. Mr..
Tretsven, the dairy specialist from
the college discussed important prob
lens concerning the dairy business
that were most vital to the farmers
in attendance and plainly showed
how the dairy farmers in this sec
ton of the state were losing a large
amount of feed through the lack Of
attention in balancing rations.
He showed the best combination of
feeds to make the best success in
milk production at the least cost,
taking into consideration feeds that
could be successfully grown in east
ern Roosevelt county and it was the
consensus of opinion Of the farmers
in attendance that the Tretsven
Dairy School was worth many dol
lars to those in attendance.
Quality Essentials
Other important factors he discuss
ed were sanitary and convenient
equipment necessary for quality pro-
duction together with the importance
of building herds from the best pro
ducing animals and how to determine
these animals. All farmers in at
tendance at the meeting were very
much interested in milk production
and most of them expressed the fact
that they were fully compensated |
for their attendance at these

Accident In R. r. Yards

J. B. Kelly of the Northside sus-
tanned slight burns in a peculiar ac-
cident last Monday night while he
was working on an engine in the To-
cal yards. Kelly had climbed into
one Of the oil burning engines to
clean certain parts of it, planning
on working only a few minutes in
the engine and consequently had ta-
ken no precaution to have the heat
turned off in the chamber where he
was working. AS ne stepped inside
the door slammed after him, catch
ing on the outside and he was un-
able to release it. Later in the eve
ming a fellow workman discovered
him but only after he had received
slight burns. Kelly is better today
and is back on the job.

GOING, GOING, GONE
RIGHT BACK AGAIN

Col. S. E. Sunny, the well known
auctioneer, is home again, arriving
Saturday evening from Pleasant
vile, Iowa, where he went about
month ago. His friends were much
surprised since S. E. had declared
when he left that he would stay all
winter. But he says he just could
NIT do it. After he had his visit out
the call of Montana was too strong.
The old friends and relatives, down
in the Buckeye state, treated him
fine. He was entertained and dined
to the limit but as steady thing
Iowa is nothing like Montana to a
rowing spirit like the Colonel. He
loves the great open spaces, and the
wine-like ozone that breezes over
the fertile plateaus along the Mis-
souri,.
When it comes to a comparison of
financial conditions among the far
mers of Iowa and northeastern Mon
tana Mr. Sunny says that local far
mers are the lucky folks. The tre-
mendous initiation and deflation re-
sulting from the war. and land spec
ulations incident to that period, left
many farmers high and dry and
busted. Others still hang on with
large equities but owe SO much they
don't know where the final outcome
will leave them. Crops this season
were only fair, lots of the corn was
soft Many of these hardworking
young Iowans, Sunny says, are COM
ing to Montana just as soon as they
can make the turn.

WOLVES DEFEAT
POPLAR 1920
BOE, SMITH, ERICKSON ROLL
UP LARGE SCORE FOR
SPEEDY POINTERS

In a wild orgy Of scoring the
Wolves independent basket ball quint
administered a crushing defeat to
Poplar tonight in the Poplar high
! school gymnasium, the game ending
36 to 20. In the first five minutes
of playing the local boys made three
baskets and from then on the Wolves
remained in the lead unstemmed by
the personal fouls frequently de-
clared by the referee, Alfred Tunem,
principal of the Poplar high school.
In the third and fourth quarters two
of Wolf Points players were declar-
ed out on personal fouls and Poplar,
taking advantage of what they ex-
pected to be green players, made a
score, but the new men in the game
disappointed their opponents by add
ing several figures to the Wolf Point
end of the sce-e.
Ray Boe, Buddy" Smith and
"Swede" Erickson were the stars for
Wolf Point, Boe scoring 16 points,
Buddy" 10 points. and "Swede"
six points. Bryan Barickman and
Chester Sherdahl each scored two
points.
The Lineup
The Wolf Point boys who started
the game were Ray Boe, center;
Buddy" Smith and Chester Sher-
dahl, forwards; Bryan Barickman
and Dick Busby, guards. "Swede"
Erickson substituted for Chester
Sherdahl in the third quarter. In
the last quarter there was consider
able shifting in the lineup with
Dave Maltby and Chester Sherdahl
playing part of the time. Art Hall
was unable to attend the game or
play because of a badly sprained
ankle and Bob Parke, who has been
playing guard, has been transferred
to Bainville and was unable to get to
tie game.
Members of the Poplar quint were
Tom Pickett, Harold Hayne, Fred
Hayne, Kern and Wilbur Brown.
Granslan was used as a substitute.
Harold Hayne and Brown
did most of the scoring for Poplar.
Roofing Helps
If support has anything to do with
a game Wolf Point had that game
won before a single player trotted
out on the floor A large crowd of
rooters under the leadership of Theo
Wright, high school yell leader
we're there with pep and enthusiasm.
Only a small crowd from Poplar
came to the game, me st of them be-
ng children from the grades and
what enthusiasm they had gradually
lied out as the Wolves piled up the
ore. Considering that they were
,laying on the home floor and with
certain advantages in their favor
he Poplar team was a disappoint-
nent to their own fans
The manager of the Wolves has
'eceived offers of games from the
Iavre All-Stars and from Froid to
,lay games in Wolf Point. These
cams are on tour and wish to stop
lere. 1t is likely that game will
,e played with Williston after the
rst of the year.

Presbyterian Church
Receives Fine Gift

The local Presbyterian church last
week received a valuable gift from a
Presbyterian church in Philadelphia,
Penn. in the form Of text books val
ued at nearly 500, for the week day
religious services. The books were
sent here express prepaid. There
are three sets of the books, making
about II books altogether. Although
the name of the church could not be
obtained the local church wishes to
express its deep gratitude to their
benefactor

Take Bank Checks

The drawer holding the cash and
bank checks was carried away. The
cash register was forced but only
a small amount of change was Sc
cured Some of the bank checks
were torn to bits and scattered on
the floor which indicated the rob
bers were peeved because they did
not find more money. In actual
cash and checks about 5000 was
stolen, but Saturday evening many
checks were cashed of which there
was no record made on the register.
Chose Big Day
A widely advertised stock-reduc-
tion sale was in progress at the
Globe and Saturday had been big
day. John F. Cook, the proprietor,
had made large bank deposit at
$50 or the yeggs would have made
a haul of several times what they
got The total loss and damage is
around $1,000. The safe is wreck,
the register badly damaged, the
front and back doors and locks
smashed, several pairs of valuable
wool blankets were spoiled and some
valuable papers, besides the cash and
checks, either stolen or destroyed.
Doors Forced
Entrance was made by forcing the
front door with some implement like
crowbar. Then two Yale locks of
the heaviest kind were torn from
the back door where they held iron
bars in place. The door into the
basement was also forced.
A half barrel, picked up in the
alley was brought in and partly ,
filled with water from a tap in the
basement. This was to wet the
blankets with which the safe was
wrapped to muffle the explosion. The
safe blowing was very successful,
large pane of glass just above the
safe was not cracked but the doors
of the strong box were rended as
if made of pine. Other parts of the
job bore evidence of having been
done by amateurs. This is the sec
ond time the Globe has been victim
of yeggs in a few months. On the
other occasion silk goods to the value
of about $500 were stolen. The
sheriff's office is following up clews
in connection with Sunday nights
job and it is expected that develop
ments will follow.
Oxford Entered
The same night the Oxford Billiard
Parlor and Lunch room was entered
by the front door, apparently with
the same as used at the
Globe. F. B. Turner, the proprietor,
says his safe was unlocked and con- !
aimed no cash. A small sum in the
,ash register was not touched. 1t is {
that the burglars were |
alarmed by the night force in the
Wolf Point Bakery next door. Mr..
Schaale and his helper heard the
loise and came out to investigate.
\ man was seen going east through :
he alley. This was about 2:30 a. m. :
Streets Dark 6
The work at the Globe necessarily l.
ook some time and probably was !
,egun soon after midnight when the :
treet lights are turned off. !
Mr.. Cook had his store protected
n several ways. The doors and -
windows were we'll bolted and bar ;.
ed a light was kept burning out !,

WOLF POINT Is
CULBERTSON 8
RAY BOE is THE OUTSTANDING
PLAYER FOR WOLVES
HAGEN INJURED

The Wolves independent basket
ball team redeemed their defeat at
the hands of Culbertson last week,
when in the local H. S. gym they
romped over the "Sharpshooters" to
the tune of % to Friday evening.
Ray Boe, high school coach and cen
ter on the local team was easily the
star of the evening. Like a flash
he darted from one end of the floor
to the other, seeming to cover ev-
cry part of it at once. The local
boys played the five-man defense and
consequently much of the time Boe
found himself alone with the ball
at the opposite end of the field from
the goal and it was necessary for
him to make his goals either by long
field shots or by dribbling for long
distances. Eight field goals and one
free throw were to his credit at the
end of the game.
Buddy Smith played his usual
snappy style Of basketball, throwing
every ounce of energy into the game
and scoring eight points for the
Wolves.
The Culbertson boys played
swift game and were strong on pass
ing but in spite of their successful
passes the even stronger defense of
the Wolves held them down to eight
points, five of which were in the first
quarter. After that the Wolves hit
their full stride and the "Sharp-
shooters" were only able to score
four points in the remaining three
quarters.
Player Faints
The only mar on an interesting
game was the illness of Carl Hagen
of Culbertson. Several times early
in the game he nearly tainted and
MS fellow players urged him to leave
5he game but he refused. Between
,he third and fourth quarters he
tainted and was carried off the floor.
He was unconscious for several
hours. The party of young people
With whom he drove over from Gull
oertson say that he ate a heavy meal
ust before the game and also that
le has been subject to such spells
md it is believed that his faint was
lue to that rather than to any IN
ury received in the game.
Lineups
The Wolf Point boys who started
he game were Ray Boe, center;
Buddy" Smith and Bob Parke, for
Yards; Art Hall and Bryan Barick-
nan, guards. Later in the game
)ave Maltby and Dick Busby were
sed as substitutes. The Rev. A. o.
ohnson was the referee for the
anne.
The boys on the Culbertson squad
yere William and George Grunst,
Warren Hill, Oscar and Carl Hagen
nd Karl Kaufman.
The high school gymnasium was
acked to capacity Friday night with
zeal fans and with the several large
arties from Culbertson and Poplar
-ho motored here to see the game.
Two squads of high school players
FINISHED preliminaries for the main
anne.
The latter part of this week the
1olves hope to arrange game with
oplar. At first Poplar requested
night on which the Wolves could !
0t come but they are hoping to ar
snge some other evening. :
