Phantom Of The Opera
Awakens Great Interest

Since the rumor first gained
beadway that the Liberty theatre
was bartering with Carl Laemmle
for a local showing of the French
mystery super-thriler, "T h e
Phantom of the OPERA" featur-
ing Lon CLANCY supported by Mary
Philbin, Norman Kerry, host of
well-known principals and vast
east, the management has been
stormed with inquiries as to the
date of showing.
C. J. Severson, manager of the
Liberty, stated to representative
of this newspaper yesterday that
the big romantic spectacle will be
shown March 80 and 81.
The local manager was frank to
say that negotiations had been de-
layed for time due to the ex-
ceptional cost of bringing the big
feature to Wolf Point, cost that
seemed to him prohibitive, until
the persistent demand of his pa
irons made the showing impera-
tive.

Annual Olds Day Fine Success

The First Annual Oldsmobile
Day came to a successful close
Monday afternoon when the meet
ing of the dealers from the north
eastern Montana district was dis
missed. All day long dealers
from the district were busy with
sight seeing, conferences with
Minneapolis representatives, a
luncheon for them and their wives
at o'clock, the free movie in
the afternoon and the final con-
ference in the Palm room Of the
sherman hotel at 2:30. Every
dealer left for his home feeling
better understanding of the Olds-
mobile organization and with
pleasant memories of the enter
tainment he received while in Wolf
Point.
The morning was largely taken
up with the gathering of the deal
ers from their various home towns.
They were shown through the 10
cal Oldsmobile establishment, met
the men from the Minneapolis Of
fees and in general were sight
seeing about town.
Luncheon
At o'clock a luncheon was
served at Stephens Cafe which was
attended by R. B. Hulick, sales
promotion manager from the Min
neapolis office: R. o. Hervey,
sales representative for this terri
tory; Dwight Davis, service man.

WHO CAN LOCATE
OLD RIVER BOAT
IN LONG DELAYED LETTER
OLD RIVERMAN RECALLS
INCIDENT OF 1860

Do any of the old-timers along
this stretch of the Missouri know
the spot where the steamer Chip
pewa exploded and sank in 1860?
If they do a reward of SO awaits
them at Devils Lake, North Da-
kota. But if it takes as long for
the ten spot to reach Montana as
was necessary to bring the letter
here telling of the offer, the
money can't be spent for at least
seven years.
Seven Years Delay
The Herald received a rather
strange message this week from a
person signing himself E. E.
Herman. The envelope appears
somewhat soiled and yellow but
not crumpled. It is a Scent gov
ernment stamped envelope Of the
kind used for a short time during
the war. The postmark on the en-
velope is March Is, 1926 but the
earliest date at the top Of the let
ter is March %, 1919. Below
this has been written in pen, July
5, 1923 and again below this, II
fresh ink, March 1926.
Two different colors of type
writer ribbon and pen and ink ad
ditions, evidently made at differ
ent times, indicate that part o.
the letter was originally written a
the time of the first date with ad
ditions and alterations in Jul.
1928 and again the present month
and year. It is quite evident tina
the writer has a real desire t
know the location where the "st
Chippewa" went down, and if, per
chance. this comes to the notic'
.of anyone who has any recollec
tion of the location where tn
steamer sank they should give Nh
Herman the satisfaction of wha
they know.

Here is the letter as nearly a
it can be produced in type.

NATIONAL AUTO
LAW GRABS TWO
STREEPY WHO OPERATED
HERE IN 1928 FIRST
TO BE SENTENCED

Ed Nichol and Frank Bannis-
ter of this city were subpoenaed
as witnesses in Judge Pray's U.
S. district court in the case of
Blair Streepy who was prosecut-
ed under the new federal motor
vehicle theft law. Streepy got in.
to trouble with the officers here
about three years ago when he
hired a local man to go to Glen
tana with him and drive back a
Studebaker car that turned out
to be stolen property. Streepy and
his operations were trailed by fed
eral officers until he was brought
into court at Great Falls, convict
ed and sentenced. The new law
is likely to make things tough for
the gang of auto thieves said to-
be operating in this corner of the
state. The following account of
the trials of Streepy and Harry
Huffman of Dooley is reprinted
from the Great Falls Tribune.
Breaking Up Gang
Efforts of the federal depart
ment of justice to break up an
ring of automobile thieves,
said to be operating with north
eastern Montana as it's headquar-
ters, were successful in the first
two cases, involving violations of
the national motor vehicle theft,
brought before Judge Charles n.
Pray in federal court.
Saturday, after a jury had
found Blair Streepy Of Peerless
guilty Of violation Of the law on
three counts, Harry Huffman Of
Dooley pleaded guilty to having
a stolen car in his possession and
was sentenced to serve 60 days
in Jail. The court later stayed theI
sentence until further orders.
Stolen Car Stolen
At the hour that HuifmanI
pleaded guilty to possession of
the car, stolen from Crosby, n.
D., the machine was no longer IN
his possession, it was revealed la
ter. A report reached federal
court Saturday morning that dur
ing the time Huffman had been
in Great Falls in connection with
his arraignment and trial the car
had been stolen from his ranch in
Dooley. Huffman had not learned
of this fact when he entered his
plea.

For several weeks past the ice
on the river has been thin and
vehicles have not been abe &c

thin spots and open places which
