MOVIE-MADS RUSH TO
HOLLYWOOD And GRIEF

Thousands of girls flock to Hol-

coming screen stars and thousands
flock back to their homes every
year thoroughly convinced that
every girl in the world has the
same ambitions and that if they
all got into the movies there
wouldn't be any customers left to
go and see the pictures every 9th
er night or so.
There is hardly town of any
size in the United States that
hasn't contributed its share to
these thousands. They come from
here, there, and everywhere. It
reached such point that Holly
wood and Los Angeles Chambers
of Commerce had to publicly an

enough jobs to go around.

Waste Oil Causes Small
Blaze In G.. N. Yards

The Wolf Point fire department
answered call about 1880 O'Clock
last Saturday night in the Great
Northern Railway yards. No dam
age was done by the small fire
which was burning there and af-
ter remaining until all danger was
past the apparatus returned to
their quarters.
The-fre was caused by oil from
a tender, which had been recent
ly filled by the rain crew. The
spout on the tender had been fill
ed too full to close it and conse-
quently oil leaked on the ground
A few minutes later some waste
was kicked out of the tender as
it had become ignited from un-
known cause. The waste lighted
the surplus oil and it burned fur
iously for a few minutes but wa:
far enough from all buildings that
no damage was done.

STILES Farm Is

Chas. Stille, whose fine farm
is just across the Missouri, has be-

Itatoes. The editor can testify to
their fine quality. On Mr.. STILES
place on the fertile river bottom
failures are unknown in such
crops as alfalfa and spuds. He
is thorough and successful in his
methods and manages to get his
potato crop on the market early
while it brings top prices. But
there is always big demand for
them from his old customers. Last
winter Mr.. Stille gave California
a careful looking over while on
avisit to his daughter and son,
and concluded that the much ad-
vertised coast state has no ad-
vantages, to offer the farmer, that
equal those found here in Mon
tana.

CAR LEAVES GRADE
LOCAL BOYS HURT

Jim Cook and Bruce Randall,
well known young men of this
city, were badly bruised and shak-
en- up last Saturday when
the yellow "bug" Jim was driving
left the grade east of town. The
car skidded in the loose gravel,
crashed through the barbed wire
fence between the highway and
the railroad and snapped off a
telephone pole. The accident oc-
CURED about half way between
town and the grade crossing.
When it was evident what was
going to happen both boys tried
to jump from the car but Jim was
unable to get out before the
crash as he was hindered by the
steering gear. The impact with
the telephone pole threw him out.
Bruce had climbed partly out and
the impact threw him with great
force to the ground some distance
from the car.
The main injury Jim suffered
was a torn ligament in one arm
and some scratches. Bruce was
badly scratched by the barbed
wire fence, had some bad cuts on
his back, was cut about the face
and had one knee wrenched.
The force which the car gained
as it left the road and went
through the fence tore the boys
clothes to shreds. They lay where
they were thrown from the car
for short time, until party of
tourists passed by, picked them up
and brought them into local
office for treatment.

The closing chapters and fna
scenes in the trial of Ferdinand
Schlaps, enacted Friday and Sat
urday, included the most tense
periods of the long ordeal. After
the late Friday evening session
court adjourned until ten O'Clock
Saturday morning. The jury sent
word soon after nine Saturday
that a verdict had been reached
and few minutes before ten al
necessary. parties were in court
and the court room packed.
An expectant hush fell ON the
crowded court room as Andrew
Harbo, Froid, foreman of the
jury, announced that they had
come to a verdict. Judge Paul
read the verdict and handed it
to Clerk of the Court Thomas R.
Forbes to file and read aloud.
Premonition of Fate
Schlaps sat slumped down in
his chair as if already he had a
premonition of his fate. When
brought from the jail to the court
room he resisted the officers and
kicked and fought so that it was
necessary to handcuff him. But
in the court room he was quiet.
His face was swollen from weep
ing, and with his manacled hands
he held a handkerchief over his
lips, but there was no start or
change of expression when the
verdict was read. An officer sat
on either side of him but there
was no further revolt against
their authority
In hopeless despair he sat there
es the spectators filed out of the
crowded court room. Officers had
to assist him to his feet when they
started back to the jail. Friday
he sat erect in the same chair, ap-
parently little interested in the
flood Of oratory that swirled
around his head. One thought
perhaps he did not comprehend.
Saturday his tear-swollen face and
detected mein show that he does
understand what has been going
on and that he had some realiza-
tion of his probable punishment
even before the verdict was an
nounced.
Mother Awaits Verdict
The little kerchiefed mother
awaited word of her boys fate
in an adjoining room. She, too,
had a premonition of the verdict.
Friday, to those who could talk
her language, she declared that
she had taught her boy what was
right and what was wrong; that
he had done wrong and must suf-
fer the penalty. But ones heart
was touched with pity as tight
Tipped and white-faced she sat-
quietly in the front row of spec
tators where a seat had been REL
served for her by the attorneys
for the defense. Hour after hour
she sat there as the attorneys pre-
sented their arguments to the
jury, now asking that her son payI
with his own life for the lives of
those he had slain, that the coun-
try might know that outlawry
could not go unpunished in Roose-
welt county, now asking that the
jury be lenient in their judgment
of the youth because his mentali-
ity was not of high order.
