Own Husbands.

ence)-The younger generation mere
is doubling it's efforts in its revolt
against the ancient Chinese custom
in marriages, which gives the girl no
right to select the man of her choice.
or to even see her future husband
until after her marriage. A recent
suicide by beautiful 18-year-old bride
who killed herself because she could
not have her way is being used as
horrible example.
The young girl was an adopted
daughter of an old dope fiend and
gambler She learned that he had
sold her for a slight sum to an old
man already married. She pleaded
with her parent, but she could not
get him to release her from the con-
tract already made. On the wedding
day as she was being dressed she hid
a razor on her finery. While she was
being carried to her new home in II

was found dead when the bridal pro-
cession reached the destination, when
1t was noticed that blood was dripping
from the chair.

STRAW HAT PARADE
TO BE FEATURED IN
GREAT FALLS SOON

Great Falls, March 21.-If engage
ments already scheduled do not inter-
fere, Governor ]. +. Erickson will
come to Great Falls to wear his straw
hat the first time this year, and lead
the straw hat parade which will be
held at an early date under the aus
pieces of the Advertising club to cele.
brate Montana's winterless winter.
The committee in charge of the event
communicated with the governor Sat
urday afternoon and received assur-
ance that the chief executive will be
here if possible.
In the meantime, negotiations are
proceeding with the Pathe company
to send camera man to Great Falls
so that pictures of the parade may be
shown throughout the United States
that people elsewhere may learn that
the general impressions of the cooler
season in Montana are erroneous. The
result of these negotiations will be
made known shortly.
Other plans for making the celebra-
ton notable one, a festival in which
all Great Falls will participate, have
been made. Until it is determined
whether Gov Erickson can come, and
whether Pathe can send a man, the
date for the parade will not be set, but
lit is expected to be held this week
either Wednesday or Friday. Some OF
the larger stores have announced their
intention to close during the parade
which will likely be during the noon
hour. The school authorities will be
asked to permit the children to march
; 1t is planned to obtain band. Special
window decorations for the stores
have been suggested.

office buildings saw him stop and lif,
his gun to his head. At a cry from
one of his pals he lowered the gun,
bat raised it to his temple again. 1t
apparently missed fire. for he was
seen to lower the weapon a second
time, adjust the action and then
raise to his head. AS the weapon
was discharged he leaped in the air
and fell, lying motionless.
Police reserves and details of de
tectives with machine guns had ar.
rived and pelted the yard with steel
jacketed bullets.
Orville Halstead, police officer off
duty, was one of the first to begin
firing from outside the prison wall.
He heard the shots and mounting a
fire escape opened fire on the
bandits. One of his bullets struck
Amberg in the arm.
Rushed the Yard ~
Officers of the Industrial squad
finally rushed the yard.
A workman named Kelly was in a
ditch in the yard when the battle
began and narrowly missed death as
both sides fired upon him during the
fight. He saved himself by lying in
the ditch.
