LISMAS RANCHER
BROWNS in MISSOURI

Nashua, Sept. 11.-Clay Shipp
aged 80, a rancher at Lismas,
about 35 miles south of Nashua,
was drowned in the Missouri riv-
er Tuesday evening last week,
while attempting to ford the
stream on horseback. Men have
been dragging the river, but up
to Friday night the body had not
been recovered.
Shipp, who had the day before
driven a large bunch of cattle, in
company with other riders from
the Lismas section, was returning
with the horses and had driven
them into the river, while he
waited with his own saddle horse
to cross the ferry. When the
horses reached mid-stream they
started to turn back, whereupon
Shipp jumped on his own horse
and plunged into the river to head
them off.
After he and his horse reached
the middle of the stream they
crossed sandIbar and in going
into the next current or channel
Of the river, the horse either
jumped or fell into hole and
both went under water. When the
horse came to the top it was rid
erless. Shipp came to the surface
once, but he was unable, to swim
because he was loaded down with
chaps and other paraphernalia
and the ferrymen were powerless
10 give him aid. After Shipp was
free from the horse he was rid
ng in the river, he yelled to per-
sons on the shore: Come and get
ne; I'm not going to make it,
One good swimmer Immediately
lisrobed preparing to go to
Ships assistance, but before
ne had time to get into the river
Shipp sank and never came up.
Shipp was unmarried and had
ived in the Lisrnas section since
he war.

MAY Be EXTORTIONER

John Stanley, an I. w. w. or
ganizer was arrested in Bainville
Wednesday by Sheriff Anderson,
County Attorney Marion and
Deputy Sheriff John Iwen on a
charge of extortion. He was
brought to Wolf Point Thursday
by Iwen and is now lodged in the

The incident which brought
about Stanley's arrest is alleged
to have occurred August 81 in a
box car at Froid. He accosted
three youths who were high
school boys returning from thresh-
ing in the north country to their
home in Bainville and using
threatening language and actions
forced them to each give him
$3.50 for which he made out /.
w. w. cards and gave them.

to himself by attempting to enter
a complaint against a man who
he claimed shot at him. When
he talked with officials they be-
gan checking up on his record
with the result that a warrant
was sworn out against him.
Another matter which it has
oeen reported he was connected
With was the throwing off from
/ moving freight train of several
,ther boys returning from the
hreshing operations when they
'efused to join the I. w. W.
Stanley is believed to be an 1.

MILLINERY SHOP
SUFFERS DAMAGE
EARLY MORNING BLAZE IN
HAT SHOP is CHECKED
BY FIREMEN

Fire of unknown origin practic-
ally destroyed the stock of the
Munsing Hat Shop on Main street
at about 400 o'clock Wednesday
morning. Most of the personal
effects of Mrs. Nina Munsing,
owner of the shop were also de-
stroyed. The interior of the
building was somewhat burned
and damaged by water but The
main framework of the building
is intact.
The damage done is estimated
to be between $500 and $1,000.
It is fully covered by insurance.
The stock was owned by Mrs.
Munsing and the building by
Johnson and Isachsen.
Origin Unknown
There are several theories as
to the origin of the fire but none
of them have been solved. AS
some painting work had been
done IN the building during the
last few days it is possible that
it might have been spontaneous
combustion resulting from a pile
Of oily paint rags.
Narrow Escape
Mrs. Munsing had living apart
ments back of the shop and lived
there. She says that when she
woke from sound sleep the
room was filled with suffocating
smoke and the ceiling above the
stove was mass Of flames. She
tried to use the telephone to call
the fire departm emit but found that
it was already too hot to handleI
so throwing a coat on she took
a few personal effects into the
street and called for help. Mrs.
Luella Barry, whose apartment is
across the street heard her and

VISIT TO SOUTHEAST
COUNTRY INTERESTING

The editor and family returned
last Thursday evening from a
short but very pleasant and inter
esting motor tour that included
in order, Vida, Richey, Glendive,
and Wibaux, Montana; Beach,
Sentinel Butte and Medora,
North Dakota; doubling back to
Glendive) Sidney, Fairview, Balm
vile, Culbertson, Brockton and
Poplar.
A Contrast
The rather short crops in the
dry land farming districts the
flourishing irrigated beet, alfalfa
and corn fields in Yellowstone
Valley, and the picturesque Bad
Land cattle ranges around Medora
were all greatly in contrast to
vast expsmses of bumper crops of
wheat, oats and flax seen on a
former tour of the Ophe;m,
Glentana, Peerless, Scobey, Flax
vile, Plentywood, Froid country.
Nine Holes of Golf
Short visits or overnight stops
were made at nearly all the towns
on the last trip. A round of golf
was played on the remarkably
we'll built and kept links of the
Richey club with A. c. Paulson,
who. is as courteous as he is ex-
pert at the game.
The busy railroad city of Glen
dive has many outstanding i'm
provements-paved streets, al
beautiful railroad depot, city
park, tourist park, country club
and golf links.
History in the Concrete
Wibaux and Meldiora are sur
rounded by historical milestones,
and frontier traditions that carry
the visitor back to the early day
canching experiences of Theodore
and Pierre Wibaux, and
,he industrial dream of the ad-
yenturous and gallant Marquis
leMores.
The splendid exhibits of grain,
grasses, vegetables, fruits, live
stock and poultry at the well at
ended Richland county fair, at
Sidney were among the sights that
,enewed and substantiated our
'aith in Montana.
Fairview
At Fairview, through the kind
courtesy of Mr.. and Mrs. H. A.
oeglow, we greatly enjoyed a ride
around the city and up onto the
ills to the west for view of the
beautiful, well improved valley.

FINE EXHIBITS
AT INDIAN FAIR
WONDERFUL SHOWING OF
FARM AND DOMESTIC
PRODUCTS

AS a boost for the Fort Peck
reservation lands and as proof of
the agricultural progress being
made by Indian farmers, the 1926
annual Fort Peck Indian Fair was
a great success. The racks and
tables that filled Glacier hall were
loaded with beautiful grains,
grasses, vegetables, and triumphs
of the domestic sciences such as
jellies and preserves, pastry,
fancy needle work, garments and
beaded work. There were also
many excellent samples of work
done by the Indian students at
the various schools, principally
the Industrial Training school at
Wolf Point.
Real Food
The wonderfully fine displays
by the different Farm Chapters
of corn, beans, squashes, potatoes,
beets, turnips, carrots, ETC., sug-
gested winter supplies and bar
riers to hunger and want. Pride
in their farming successes and
the awards they won was evident
4mong the Indian farmers and
sheir wives. The Judging, and the
premium awards, as listed follow
ing this story, were made byI
County Agents Warden of Roose-
velt county and Lantz Of Phillips
county.

NEW STUDENTS CROWD THE
GRADES-TEACHERS FORM
ASSOCIATION

The Wolf Poin+ schools open
ed Monday morning with the high
school divisions reporting a larg-
er enrolment than last year. BY
Wednesday evening there were
155 pupils registered in high
school and 9Th grade with several
more registrations practically cer-
tain. The total for the term will
probably reach 100. Every seat
in the assembly hall is filled.
Twenty-nine seniors with their
work in such shape that the sue
cessful completion of this years
work will bring them diplomas
have registered. This will be the
largest senior class in the history
of the high school. The junior
class is also unusually large.
There are scores of new stu
dents registered this year, some
from other schools and high
schools and many from the sur
rounding country. Several of
these are from other states indi-
eating a number of new families
in town. One student from a for
eign country is in the second
grade, Siraanoosh Ohanesian from
Armenia.
The lower grades are over
crowded and a reapportionment
among the rooms will be necessary
and one or more additional pri-
mary teachers will be engaged.

CONFUSION CAUSED
BY STATION SHIFTS
Varying Wave Lengths Keep
Fans Uncertain-Hope for
Better Situation.

Unfortunately for the radio fans
and the broadcast stations themselves
some of the new organizations which
have entered the wireless entertain
ment game cannot seem to stay put.
After choosing wave lengths they
thought the best available, which
were announced by the Commerce De
partment as their normal channels
these stations change their wave
lengths when and as they please.
This, to say the least, is confusing
to the fans. Even with new broad
cast lists available every month or
week 1t would be impossible to keep
the fans posted as to the correct chan
nels on which to listen in for such
stations. If the fans can't find these
stations what is the use in their
broadcasting?
Perhaps this is too pessimistic, only
a few stations have made more than
one change, but, on the other hand
If this Is a forerunner of shifts by
many stations, the future outlook is
discouraging. WCRW, a new Chi
cago station licensed recently to Op'
crate on 1893 meters, shifted this
week to 416.4 meters. WkBA, an.
other new Chicago broadcaster, also
changed from it's original wave OF
1858 meters downward to 209.7
meters. An original shift, to say the
least. Conditions in Chicago, how
ever, are bad, with As stations in
the neighborhood. New York is al.
most as congested, with practically
40 stations located within so miles
of it's center, and shifts are expected
there also.
WKDB's switch to a lower wave
length may be indicative of the in.
creasing popularity of the shorter
wave lengths in the broadcast band
with the increase in the number of
stations on the air. Many broad
casters have found these channels
very satisfactory. WOK, on PIT
meters, is received we'll at consider
able distances from Chicago and is
popular. 1t may develop that the
lower channels just above 200 meters,
down to which most standard receiv-
ing sets will now tune, will become
as desirable as are the higher wave
lengths.
There may be a demand for chan.
neis between 200 and 26O meters
where most Of the stations are rela.
lively low in power and interference
would not be as great as among the
higher powered stations on the longer
wave lengths. If this should come
about it might relieve the tension
in the upper two-thirds of the band
and make for less interference and
confusion all around.
