contest to select play
ers but chose ten players by lot.
The twenty were made into five
foursomes. The first pair of
players on the Richey list (be-
low played with the first pair
on the Wolf Point list and so on
down. AS shown by the totals
the Wolves were winners in the
play by 81 strokes.
Some Good Scores
The visitors made creditable
showing considering that the
course was new to them and some
what sportier than their own
course. Mr.. Paulson of Richey
turned in remarkably good card
with a 40, 43. Foley, Cowan,
Finley and Peterson all broke so
on at least one round. Chapman.
Rathert and Marion were the low
card men for the locals, all keep
ing under 80 for the 18 holes. A
return match will probably be
played soon. Richey is reported to
have an extra good course. The
Richey players were entertained
at dinner and supper. Soft

ternoon at the nineteenth green" +"

'ORPHAN' R0USES
LOCAL SYMPATHY
NEW FRIENDS HERE BUY HER
TICKET TO SHELBY
DISCOVER FRAUD

Saying she was an orphan and
that both her parents were dead a
girl. giving her name as Gladys
Hughes, and saying she came from
Brush Lake, aroused considerable
sympathy among local people last
week. Her story as she told it re-
peatedly to various officials was
that she had been working on a
farm near Brush Lake. When
her job was done the family she
worked for paid her and she start
ed from their place with $50 and
a horse, to ride to Sunburst where
she claimed she had friends. The
sum of money she had was either
spent or lost along the way.
Buns Ride
Somewhere in the vicinity of
Culbertson she claimed her horse
stumbled and fell on the railroad
track and she thought it was dead.
She took the saddle off and left
it at a neighboring farm house
and spent the night there. In the
morning she says the horse was
gone from where she had left it.
She went out to the tracks and
climbed aboard a train whose en-
gineer was R. S. Jelley of this
city. Mr.. Jelley's sympathy was
aroused by the girls story and
he brought her into Wolf Point
and took her to his home where
she was given meals and the au-
thorities notified of her plight.
Buy Her r. r. Ticket
SO sincere did her story seem
that one local official with money
from his own pocket wired herI
friends in Sunburst who said sheI
could come and make her home
with them. He bought her a tick
ct to Shelby where they said they
would meet her, and she was sent
on her way.
Dad Shows Up
The sympathetic and kind
hearted people of this city receiv-
ed rude jolt Wednesday when
Undersheriff Council met her
father in Culbertson and learned
that she had run away from her
home in North Dakota and that
he was looking for her to bring
her back. She had told local peo-
pie that she was 10 but her faith
er says that she is only IA years
old.

BEHIND The FRONT
in SUNNY FRANCE
Sunny FranceW
"It may be so, we do not know.

"Sunny FranceW
"It may be so, we do not know.
It sounds so-queerw
Just about two million ex-
doughboys who got "over there"
during the late unpleasantness in
France are going to be poignantly
taken back to their soldier days
when they see "Sunny France"
as it is pictured in "Behind the
Front" which Director Edward
Sutherland has filmed for Para
mount.
And the words of the cynical
old song are going to rise to their
lips when they mentally jog along
with Wallace Beery and Raymond
Hatton, as wild pair of dough-
boys as ever shovelled rock in the
S. o. S., and look out at the
French scenery, mournful in a
heavy rain, from the side of a
dinky box-car suitable for $40
men or s horses"
No more realistic or humorous
scenes have been filmed in pic
lures than those in this side-split-
ting comedy of life in the belated
A. E. F. which Paramount has
contributed to the cause of keep
ing alive the laughter of the dough-
boys-and all others.
Street Cleaners
Possibly one of the biggest
laughs of the picture is the scene
where Beery and Hatton are as
signed to clean up a street in a
French village. That was some
Job, as any one who has been to
France knows. They got it done
just as a regiment of cavalry
came along!
Behind the Front" is ripping
comedy, which will be doubly en-
ioyed by ex-soldiers. 1t was
adapted by Monty Brice from
Hugh Wiley's Saturday Evening
POST story, "The Spoils of War;"
and will be shown at the Liberty
Thursday and Friday, June 24-25.

The unusual spring drouth that
has existed in nearly all parts of
the middle and Northwestern
states was ended during the past
week with general rains that
started in eastern states with vio-
lent storms. Floods did great
damage in places. In Wyoming
a small tornado and terrific hail
storm wrought havoc.
Two Days of Rain
Montana escaped all violence
of the lements but was soaked
over the whole state by rains that
began in the western part Sun
day and the eastern end Monday
morning and continued most of
the time until Tuesday night.
Here the rain was unusually gen
lie, beginning very light and in
creasing steadily. Just how much
fell in the different communities
has not been reported but it is
certain that it was general. Vida
people say the land was soaked to.
a good depth by series Of show
ers. The Sand Creek country was
also reached. North country far
mers say the rain there appears
to have been even heavier than
here in the river valley. Froid
and the east end of Roosevelt
county reports ample rain fall for
present needs. Equally good re-
ports come from Valley county
and the west area. Probably an
inch and a half would come close
to the average for this corner
of the state but the rain fell in
a manner to make it equal to a
two or three inch fall of rain of
the dashing, thunderstorm sort.
Almost Assured
The rain was badly needed
here as elsewhere but was in time
to save large percentage of the
fields and make prospects very
bright for at least an average
yield. Some fields of small grain
had been damaged or ruined by
the high winds that marked the
dry spell. There was still stored
moisture in the soil and most grain
