GREAT NORTHERN
CUTTING COSTS
LOCAL ROUND HOUSE FORCE
MUCH REDUCED-SAME
AT OTHER POINTS

Following up an economy pro.
gram made possible by bigger en-
gines, oil fuel, longer trains and
longer runs, the Great Northern
administration is making radical
changes at some of the terminals
on its line in Montana. More
than half of the round house force
will be laid off here March Is. The
car repair men will also be laid
off and the switch crews reduced.
Train crews will change here
as usual but engines will not be
changed. Both passenger and
freight trains will make the run
between Williston and Havre,
about 300 miles. No change in
schedules or running time have
been announced.
Big Saving To Roads
The same reduction in forces
will be made at Troy it is stated,
and according to rumor at Cut
Bank also. 1t is estimated that
the saving in annual operating ex-
penses will amount to hundreds
Of thousands of dollars. The
mammoth oil-burning engines ap-
pear to have ushered in new
epoch in transportation and event
lally should result in largely re-
luced freight and passenger
rates that would bring a recon-
oensing benefit to the general pub
ic to offset losses from reduced
oay rolls. i
1t is not known as yet just
low many men will be thrown out
# employment. The remarkably
,pen winter and absence of
torms has made railroading easy
md far less work for train men.
Rumors of changes at this and
,ther division points have been
for some time and the
lews was no surprise to local peo-
lie, but of course is a hard blow
o the men and families whose
ource of income has been wiped
ut.

DAINTY MARION DAVIES
WHIPPING POST VICTIM

One of the most spectacular
scenes ever filmed in motion pic
lures is the big mob scenes in the
Cosmopolitan picture, "Little Old
New York" starring Marion Dav-
les, which is at the Liberty theatre
on Thursday and Friday. Miss
Davies, swung on the shoulder of
big Louis Wolheim, is rushed
through mob of a thousand
bowling men to the whipping-post
to receive the punishment which
the crowd demands because she
rang the frebell and stopped the
prize-fight.
The scene occurs in the streets
surrounding Bowling Green and
the Battery Of New York as they
appeared a century ago.
Cameramen cranked madly as
the mob swirled around the plat
form upon which the whipping
post was stationed. The cruel,
avenging faces of the mob; the
huge, brutal appearances of VOL
helm is contrasted with the fair
fragile delicacy of Miss Davies as
she is lashed to the whipping-postI
all combine to make the scene
a most thrilling one. Refusing to
employ a double" Miss Davies
insisted on taking the lashes in
flicted by the cruel whip herself.
Although Wolheim tried to lay on
the lashes as lightly as he could
and still register the proper eff
feet it was impossible to spare the
dainty little star entirely.

JULIA DE- LAHUNT
SUCCUMBS TO FLU
SUDDEN RELAPSE FATAL TO.
WIDOW, M. J. DE LAHUNT
3 CHILDREN SURVIVE

Mrs. Julia Delahunt, widow Of
the late M. J. Delahunt, died at
the family residence in this city
at 8 O'Clock Thursday morning,
following an attack of flu and
other complications. Mrs. Della
hunt was taken i'll with the flu
Sunday, February %. She was
sick in bed for two days but then
got up thinking that she was
strong enough to be out. On Fri
day she had a relapse and was de-
lirious for two days. She be-
came unconscious about 48 hours
before her death and from then
until she breathed her last recog-
nized no one. An infection in the
head resulting from the complica-
tions which developed after the
relapse on Friday was the immedi-
ate cause of death.
Born In Minnesota
Julia Calvin was born in Nor
ris, Minnesota 46 years ago. She
was raised there and attended the
Morris schools. In 1907 she and
NJ. J. Delahunt were married. Mr..
Delahunt was also a resident of
Morris. They made their home
there until 1913. Thomas j., the
oldest son and his brother John
Robert were both born in Morris.
In 1913 Mr.. and Mrs. Delahunt
and their two sons came to Wolf
Point to live. Mary was born
here six years ago. The Della
hunts also had ranch on the
south side of the river where they
spent their summers, returning to
Wolf Point during the remainder
IF the year where Mr.. Delahunt
had business interests. Mr.. De-
ahunt died in May, 1925, from
leart failure. Since then Mrs.
Oelahunt and the children have
oeen living in town where the
.wo boys attended high school
and Mary the first grade.

PIONEER OF The
OLD WEST PASSES
JACOB BAUER SUFFOCATED
BY GAS-ALONE IN
LOG CABIN

The death of Jacob Bauer al
the age of rs, at Culbertson last
Saturday, marked the passing of
another of hte earliest white set
tiers Of this portion of Montana,
and one whose life history brist-
les with the events of the old
West. The old pioneer was found
unconscious in the log house
where he lived alone about five
miles west of Culbertson. His
son had taken him home from
town Wednesday night, and his un-
conscious form was discovered by
his son-in-law Friday. Although
at first it was thought possible
there had been foul play, it was
later conclusively established that
his condition when found had been
induced by asphyxiation. County
Attorney Marion went to Cul-
bertson and investigated the case.
Mr.. Bauer was a radio enthusi-
asst and had a radio in his cabin.
1t is the theory that while listen-I
ing in an oil lamp standing on
the radio was in some mannerl
tipped over, causing the fire that
ignited clothing on the wall, and
the burning oil burned a hole
through the floor. The radio set
was partly burned and the bat
teries melted. Experts claim that
this could generate a poisonous
gas. The cabin was evidently
closed up very tightly and the fire
finally was extinguished through
lack of oxygen.
In The State SIS Years
A Culbertson news correspond
ant says in sketch of his life
that Jacob Bauer had lived in
Montana for 55 years and is list
I'd among the progressive men of
he state in a book under that
title, written in 1909.
Mr.. Bauer, who owned 1900
acres of land in that locality and
Who is survived by five children,
in Company D, Seventh
United States Infantry in the
ipring of 1870 at Cincinnati,
ohio. The company came to Fort
3uford, N. D., where he served
lntil the fall Of 1871.
On leaving the service he made
trip on foot from Fort Buford
0 the Musselshell district in Mon
ana where he devoted his atten-
ion to hunting until the spring Of
872, when he went to Helena by
vay Of Fort Benton.

TEST YOUR SEED
GRAIN, Be SAFE
TERMINATION OF D A M P
GRAIN MAY BE HURT
BY FREEZING

Seed grain of wheat, oats and
barley which has a high moisture
content may have been greatly
damaged by the alternate freez-
ing and thawing of the past win
ter, and all farmers Of Montana
who have wet grain on hand which
they intend to use for seed should
have it tested for termination be-
fore planting time, advises w. O..
Whitcomb, superintendent of the
Montana Grain Laboratory at
Bozeman.
Moisture Dangerous
Tests just completed at the
laboratory show that grain having
16 per cent moisture or less is
terminating from 96 to 100 per
cent, while grain with moisture
content of more than 16 per cent
terminated from SO to 81 per-
cent. Grain which has come
through the winter with more than
16 per cent moisture is likely tol
have a low termination. Some
of the samples of wet grain were
dried before testing but drying at
this time had little effect on ger
mination.
Tests on oats and barley also
showed that excessive moisture
content greatly reduces germina-
ton and that little or no benefit
is obtained by drying such grain
before planting.
Fall Was Wet
Results of the tests indicate, ac-
cording to Mr.. Whitcomb, that
grain which is stored in a wet con-
dition is damaged by alternate
thawing and freezing during the
winter. Ordinarily, Mr.. Whit
comb explains, seed grain in Mon
tana is threshed and stored under
fairly dry conditions, and farmers
have concerned themselves little
with the testing of such seed. Or
dinarily, such seed tests high and
there is little need for testing.
This year, farmers are faced with
entirely different conditions. Much
of the grain in storage on farms
has a high moisture content and
farmers must test their grain or
have it tested to determine wheth-
er or not it has been damaged.
The state grain laboratory at
Bozeman makes such tests without
charge.

BURESH TAKES
ALLEYS TITLE
BEATS MONTANA CHAMPION
ON THE AT-THRILLING
73 MINUTE STRUGGLE

Two straight falls, the first in
421a minutes, the second in 81
minutes, gave the Wednesday
night wrestling match to Stanley
Buresh over his opponent, Tom
Alley. 1t was the third finish
match between the two and it was
agreed in advance that it should
be decisive. The match was
announced to be on winner take
all terms which added much to the
interest of the fans. Buresh got
toe hold that brought him the
first fall after nearly three-quar-
ters of an hour of the fastest,
cleverest work ever seen here. The
grip that resulted in the second
fall was a body scissors and wrist
lock.
Alley Comedies Defeat
After referee Paul Thorn had
patted Stanley on the back the
second time Tom came to the
front of the stage and told the
crowd he had been beaten fair
and square and had no alibies to
offer. He considered it no dis
grace to be beaten by wrestler
like Buresh. 81 never was in bet
Ter condition in my life," said
Tom, STANLEY Buresh is won
lerful man | do not believe there
S man of his weight in the
world who can beat him." Toms
speech made a hit with the house
md shouts and applause rent the
lir-it was the finishing touch to
he most classic mat event ever
tagged in the city,
Great Exhibition
Both men had been seen in ac-
ion here many times but the fans
greed that they had never seen
ither wrestler in such excellent
and had never seen ,
hem show quite so much stuff.
While strictly clean in every move, :
he work was fast and furious and
