Attorney against Kittock.
Poodle WOnder at Charpe

People Wonder at Charge
Why a charge of first degree mur-
der was not preferred on the evi-
dence supposed to be in the posses
sion cf the prosecutor is another mat
ter which is causing a lot Of talk in
Scobey and the surrounding country.
1t is pointed out that it is the in
variable rule for prosecutors to pre-
fer a capital charge in such cases
and the court and jury, after a fair
trial, to reduce the charge in ac-
cordance with the evidence.
Minnesota Paper Takes Notice
Another striking coincidence in con-
nection with the arrest at this time
is that the local paper published in
Long Prairie, Minnesota, published an
editorial deunciatory of the murder
and asking why some arrest was not
made Soon after the article was
published in the Minnesota paper,
printed in the neighborhood where
! the unfortunate victim Of lawless con-
ditions in Scobey was born and rear
ed, a chain of circumstances was Gre
ated which caused County Attorney

AMERICAN LEGION
DANCE AT KOSKI BARN

Plentywood Post of the American
Legion is having a dance in Kosh's
barn Saturday evening, July 18th.
This is the most logical place for a
real time, says one of the promoters.
It's by far the largest and best dance
floor in eastern Montana. Dancing in
this place is just like bowery; lot
of fresh air when you want it.
One thing to be remembered that a
heck of a good time is assured to
old and young alike and the pro-
ceeds go to a good cause.

CIVIL WAR VETERAN

The funeral was held from the

wire from Congressman Scott Leavitt
advising that his bill authorizing the

Leiper's Strange Interpretation of

The latest exploit of Leiper in the

ing that the mortgagor was entitled
to possession cf his homestead during
the period of redemption, was cited to
Leiper, that gentleman brushed the
act of the legislature aside by stating
that such law would not be passed

NOTES CHARACTER OF PLANTS

Landscape Architect Gives Directions Regarding
'sFoundation Plantng' and Tells How Setting of
Shrubs and Evergreens May Be Made Effective.

Virginia cottages still testify. Its
deep rich green and dense texture give
an impression of dignity not inconsist-

of the dwarf box (buxus suffruticosa),
box IT. plants of any size Is expensive.
But IL the owner is too restless to
wait for small plants to develop, he
can often justify the cost of pair of
box bushes by cutting down the
amount of planting around the house.
With a large pair of box bushes by
the front door he will often find that
he needs only a vine or two and groups
of lilacS at the corners of the house
to make the planting complete.
Substitutes Available.
There are, among the needle ever

pensive than box, that often can be
substituted for it in a doorstep plant

Landscape Architect.

The foundation paintings. the shrubs
planted Immediately about the base of
the house, are used as setting. To
properly fulfill their function they
must be in keeping with the house
But, unfortunately. the character OF
he house is no more frequently con-
sidered in arranging its planting than
her figure is considered by the woman
who insists on wearing unbecoming
clothes because they are in style. The
usual consideration is not for plant
ing in keeping with the house, but for
planting in the latest style. For
his reason we have been deluged with
foundation paintings of small ever
greens. regardless Of the house against
which they were used, simply because
hey were the fashion.
Some houses need just this treatment.
The Italian house. large or small, can
not be made to conform with an Amer.

Shrubs of Grandmother's Day.
The shrubs that look best with

large flowers of pink and white and

all, box, unquestionably supreme
among shrubs. These few items from
