RANCHERS GO TO
AID OF NEIGHBOR;
PLOW HIS LAND

One Of the most outstanding
practical examples of real neigh
bOrlinesS and goodwill ever re-
corded in Gallatin county was Civ
en- last Thursday at the Frank
Theisen ranch six miles southwest
of BOzeman on Middle Greek.
Mr.. Theisen has been laid up
for many weeks with a severe at
tack Of rheumatism. He had not
been able to do his spring work
and put in a crop. So on Thurs
day his neighbOrs appeared with
13 outfits, including 81 head Of
horses and three tractors, plOwed
so acres and narrowed and duck
footed 40 acres more. With this
generous Gift" Mr.. Theisen, who
is now recovering, viii be able
to get in a crop.
While the menfOlk were at work
IN the field, the women who ac-
cOmpanied them to the Theisen
ranch prepared generous quanti-
ties of food which they served to
the volunteers. The whole incl
dent was , splendid demOnstra-
ton Of a practical application Of
the Golden Rule, and Mr.. ThiesOu
is accordingly grateful.

thousands Of dollars have been col
lected, but there still remains about
100000 outstanding, which must be
liquidated by May 81. Of this total,
approximately 100000 is due from
the Northern Pacific and the Chicago,

MRS. WARDER N. ALWARD FATALLY
BURNED BY EXPLOSION OF GASOLINE
DIES AT DEACONESS HOSPITAL FEW HOURS LATER;
FUNERAL WEDNESDAY - TRAGEDY SADDEST
HERE IN MANY YEARS

One Of the saddest accidents that
has occurred in Bozeman In years
Saturday cost the life Of Mrs. Edith
Alisch Award, 35 years Of age, wife
Of Warder M. Award, a well-known
BOzeman man. Mrs. Award was IA
tally burned when a can of gasoline,
with which she was lighting a fire
in the kitchen stove, exploded and en-
veloped her in flames. She died at
the DeacOness hospital eight hours
later.
The accident happened at the L.
M. Blake home at 3O7 North Wal
lace street, to which Mrs. Award had
come from Gardiner only the day be-
fore to remain while Mrs. Blake
spent day or two in Butte. Drench-
ed from head to foot with the blazing
fluid, Mrs. Award, a veritable human
torch, ran across the street to the
home Of a neighbOr, Mrs. G. w.
Henke. The unfortunate woman's
cries for help brought Mrs. Henke
and her daughter, Mrs. Celia MOrey,
who by wrapping her in bathrObe
and a couch cover, succeeded in
smothering the flames, but not until
she had been terribly burned.
The driver of a passing car was
summoned, and Mrs. Award was
taken at once to the Deaconess hos
pital. Her husband, who was at
Gardiner, was notified and arrived
here by auto at 2 o'clock. When he
reached her bedside Mrs. Alward was
conscious and able to speak, but she
sank rapidly and shortly after 8 p. IN.
death brought an end to her suffer
ing.

though the budget for the local work
lis about $1O,OO0.i individuals in the
city are asked for a sum of only
$4S00 per year in the form of regular
and sustaining memberships, or less
than half the total budget. This fig
ure has not been realized for several
years and the association has gone
behind its expenses. An attempt is
now being made to catch up on back
bills by asking for cash contributions
of a popular amount, and in the regu-
lar and sustaining mebership cam
paigns the membership expected to
be increased.
Other income, outside of member
ships, which goes towards the support
of the Douglas Y. NJ. c. A., comes
from the mining companies, railroad,
dormftories and small revenue fea-
lures of the "Y." The board of di-
rectors feel that the people of Doug
las should consider themselves very
fortunate in securing a large share
of the operating expenses of their
r.. M. C. A. from these above mem
toned sources, but that they should
meet these companies half way.
Among the free services which the
local Y. NJ c. A. offers the public is
large reading room, comfortable in
all kinds of weather, which contains a
library of more than zoo books, and
is furnished with more than so maga-
zines and newspapers costing about
500 yearly. In addition to the above,
a public rset room is maintained in
which fere towels and soap are pro-
vided. Different organizations of the
city use the ''Y building for meet
ing purposes, for which no charge is
made, and the prices cHarged for boys
and regular memberships are less than
what it costs the association per mem
her in service rendered.
1t has also been pointed out that by
increasing the membership the cost OF
operation per member would be mate
rally reduced. The building is so
equipped and stated that with the
same overhead, including salaries,
light, coal, water and janitor service
700 members may be cared for as
cheaply as 400. After the present in
debtedness is cleaned up, it will be
the aim of the local directors to in
crease the membership to this figure.
