W. A. TALMADCE dies
In BILLINGS AFTER
LINGERING ILLNESS

The many friends of w. A. Tai
madge in this city were shocked and
grieved to learn of his death in a
hospital in Billings Tuesday afternoon
at o'clock. Funeral services are be-
ing held at st. Luke's Episcopal
church in Billings this afternoon with
Rev. Frank Durant of this city off
ciating. Entombment will be made in
the Billings community mausoleum.
Mr.. Talmadge, known by many as
Sycamore Bill', had been i'll for about
2 years, his sickness resulting from
after effects of an influenza attack.

he went to Billings where he was en-

ware company building which is now
the Jeffery Hardware company. In
1906 he became associated with G. A.
Jeffery in the hardware business and
the two men later established hard
ware store in Joliet. Seven years
later Mr.. Talmadge took complete
charge of the Joliet store while Mr..
Jeffery remained with his present
place of business.
Mr.. Talmadge was member of the
Masonic lodge in Red Lodge, at Joliet
and was member of the commandery
at Billings. He was a Shriner.
Mr.. Talmadge is survived by his
widow; sons, Elmer of Joliet, Earl who
resides at Mullan, Ida, and brother
A. G. Talmadge of Bozeman. Mem
bers of his family were in Billings at
the time of his death.
Mr.. Talmade was held in very
high esteem by his host of friends in
Carbon and Yellowstone counties.
Among those who will attend his
funeral from here are Mr.. and Mrs.
0. j. Simmons, Mr.. and Mrs. H. A.
Simmons, Mr.. and Mrs. G. r. Nor
throp, G. A. Jeffery, I. F. Pollard, Mr..
and Mrs. E. A. Allen, Frank Llye, Mrs.

Student Enrolment
Totals 799 in the
Red Lodge Grades

A tabulation of student registration
in the Red Lodge public schools was
made yesterday by Superintendent of
Schools H. B. Field which indicated
that this years enrolment is 140 pu-
pills less than last year. Last years
enrolment, which was made at the end
of the first seven weeks of school in
the fall Of 1925, totalled 906 pupils.
Between now and the last of this per-
iod, or during the next seven weeks,
it is reasonable to expect that the
city school enrolment will increase as
children who have not yet enrolled
will do so within the next few weeks.
This will bring the present enrolment
considerably nearer the 906 registra-
ton of last year.
The following is the number of stud
ents in the elementary grades:

forth to land a job which offered unusual
advantages. 1t would mean hard work and

asked nothing more Of life than chance to

Cornelius prepared very carefully for the
interview with his prospective employers.
Properly attired, he entered their presence
and, in courteous manner, made known his
business. There was no waste of words, no
indecision, no lack Of interest on either side.
Cornelius made such a good impression that
he was employed on the spot.

N..tth a picnic dinner in the Tourist
park and every good thing imaginable
was there to eat. There was plenty
of hot coffee prepared by the ladies
committee and the dinner was served
cafeteria style. It is estimated that
500 people partook of the dinner. No
formality attended the affair, it was
just an old fashioned neighborly, hos
pitable event.
Following the dinner an interesting
programme of races and sports was
rendered, there being first and Sec
ond prize given in each contest and the
winners as announced by the judges
were as follows:
Boys Race Go to 14) Louis Ham

After the races the crowd gathered
on Main Street where they witnessed
woman steeple-jack scale the munic-
ipal flag pole to its top nearly 80
feet in the air. She made the ascent
without the use of spikes and her act
was spectacular to the extreme, con-
sidering that breeze was blowing at
the time that made her work even
more hazardous. A bucket of paint
was then sent up to her by means of
the flag rope and she neatly painted
the flag pole from top to bottom. She
then climbed the fagpole over the
First National Bank Building and
treated it to coat of paint also.
At 3 o'clock the Bridger Baseball
team crossed bats with crack team
from Hardin and the spectators wit
messed one of the best games played
there this season. The teams were
almost evenly matched and at the be-
ginning Of the seventh inning the
score stood one to one. Bridger fin
ally won the game with score of four
to one.
An enjoyable and we'll attended
dance in the evening closed the days
programme.

will preside and will deliver several
lectures. Among other speakers will
be Bishop George A. Miller, formerly
