LARGE LABOR SUP
PLY IN MONTANA

Helena.-There is a surplus of
men In the skilled and unskilled
trades in almost every section of
Montana, according to the statewide
monthly summary Of the division of
labor and publicity. Dillon and
Great Falls report the largest num-
Der of idle men. In other sections
the surplus is small. The SLIGHT
shortage of experienced miners ex-
listing at Butte for several months
has been greatly relieved, but about
100 men can be placed. In all other
lines labor supply and demand is re-
ported balanced in the Silver Bow
district.

BOY IS NABBED
In ATTEMPT TO
ROB MERCHANT
Harold Ryan Captured in Basement
of Globe Clothing Store at Wolf

WOLF POINT - An attempt to
burglarize the Globe Clothing store
resulted in the capture in the store
basement of Harold Ryan a 15-year
old boy, Werner Schneider, a high
school boy, who sleeps in the store
heard a noise in the basement soon
after 10 pm, and sent out an alarm
Ryan is also a school boy and is be-
lieved to be in league with other bows
or men.
When questioned, by County Attor-
ney Marion he told conflicting stories
and refused to give the correct names
OF those implicated with him. En-
trance was made to the store through
the coal chute, but once in it was verv
difficult to get out by the same man
ner and all other exits were stoutly
barred. The boy was thus trapped.
He lives with an uncle here and his
mother is in North Dakota.
The Globe clothing store seems to
be a particular taget for burglars.
The store has been burglarized four
times, and three times within the last
year. The last burglary occurred in
June, 1926, when more than $4,000
worth of merchandise was taken.
These burglaries have been timed to
take place when The Globe had on
hand a heavy stock of expensive goods
or when a sale was in progress and
there is apt to be considerable money
in the safe. The store is conducting
a sale at the present time.

DANBURY, Wis. September .
The last and final attack of their
ancient enemies. the white people
threatens TO overwhelm a valiant
handful of Chippewa Indians, named
THE Lost Band" which has hunted
and flshed on the headwaterS of the
st. CroiX River for half a century or
more.
Their hunting grounds are being
usurped by peaceful tourists and
Summer resorters from Minnesota,

dams, numbering $50 adults and their
children, are practically without a

Strong Tribal Organization.
After their refusal half century
ago to settle on the shores of Court
GRIZZLIES, with several other tribes
which had been allotted land on the
lake. the band wandered through the
country around the headwaters of
the st. CroiX River hunting and fish
ing for a living. Having a strong
tribal organization and distinct ira
dltions, these ChippewaS asked for
n reservation of their own, apart
from other tribes. Being refused
this. they appropriated the whole
region for their use. Their wander
ing habits caused the name 1.-The
Lost Band" to be attached to them.
Since the Civil War they have
been moving around the territory
which on early maps was named
'Moskeeto Country" because of the
dense swarms of mosquitoes lurking
in and around the lakes and swamps

But there is an angle, to say
nothing of an altitude, immeas-
urably more compelling. An
evocative lure may be reck-
oned with in the case OF any
one whose good fortune ever
permitted him to study the
baton of Arthur Nikisch, musi-
cal godfather, master and
friend to the young man, IN
many respects temperamentally
similar, allotted to Washington,
three seasons ago, by destiny
and the judgment of the Albion
pair. Already that Nikisch
baton begins to take on the pc
numbra of luminous legend,
though the man died but four
years ago.
