BISON FOSSILS
VERY, VERY OLD
FOUND BY WELL
DIGGERS ARE REMAINS
OF "ICE AGE"

Fossil vertebrae which were ia
ken from a depth of between 80
and 80 feet when the new city
we'll was being dug last winter
have been classified by the Smith
sonian Institution of the United
States National Museum at Wash
ington d. c. as belonging to an
extinct species of bison, and
range in age from $4,000 years
to several hundred thousand years.
There are two pieces of. fossil in
q well preserved condition. They
were found in a stratum of blue
clay by workmen who gave them
to Fred Williams, city clerk.
They were sent to the Smith
sonian by interested. parties who
received the following opinion,
written by DR.. ]. w. Gidley, as
sisitant curator off mammalian
fossils, and who is one of the
greatest experts in the United
States in his field.
Scientists Classification
DR.. Gidley's opinion is:
"The bones belong to an ex-
;inct species of bison much like
The western buffalo" living TO-
lay. 1t is a dorsal vertebra car
'ying one of the long spines which
form the "hump" of the bison.

oleistocene, or so-called "Ice
Age', the geological period pre-

ibe anywhere from
twenty-five thousand to several
hundred thousand years old. Some

NO TOURNAMENT

The big rain and snow, and the
resulting bad road conditions, put
the kibosh on the golf tournament
that was to have opened last Sum

in good playing condition again,
and is well occupied every day.

Of Big Ranch

Senator j. w. Schnitzler, pres

premium next spring.

'26 SEASON OF
SPORTS UPSETS
BUT FEW CHAMPIONS SUR
VIVE, HAGEN, GOLF KING,
A RARE EXCEPTION

New York, Sept. 26.-Walter
Hagen's capture of the profession
al golf championship for the third
successive season stands out like
Gibraltar in a campaign that has
seen most of the rock-ribbed title
holding forces put to roult.
In clinching his place as the
king of match players and as
Bobby Jones' only rival for all
around supremacy on the links
for the year, Hagen defed pre-
Icedent as we'll as the 1926 jinx
that has beset more champions
than any other season on record.
The extent of the athletic up
heaval is bes. shown by the fact
that six of the nine worlds best
boxing titles either have changed
hands or been vacated, while four
out of FIVE major national golf
crowns have shifted and seven
out of eight national tennis cham
pionships have changed owner
ship. This takes in the big title
tilts of Great Britain and Ameri-
ca, where the main battles have
been fought.
Dempsey Tops Upsets
Jack Dempsey's decisive defeat
at the hands of Gene Tunney in
the spectacular sesqui-centennial
battle tops one of the biggest
year of upsets in boxing annals.
The downfall of the erstwhile
Manassah mauler" followed the
defeat earlier in the year of Har-
ry Greb, Paul Berlenbach, Mickey
Walker and Rocky Kansas. Kid
Kaplan voluntarily relinquished
his featherweight title so that
only Fidel La Barba, among the
flyweights; Charley Rosenberg,
in bantam circles, and Tod Nor
gan of the junior lightweights,
remained enthroned.
The tennis upsets, marked by
big Bill" Tilden's downfall be-
fore the French avalanche, found
Vincent Richards and Richard N.
Williams as the only defenders
of major individual titles. They
the United States doubles
crown. Helen Wills and Suzanne
Lenglen retired because of i'll
health from the defense of their
biggest titles.
New Golf Champions
New amateur and open cham
pions were crowned in both Brit
ish and American golf. Jones
lifted the open tiles won in 1925
by JIM Barnes and William McFar-
lane, but failed twice in his own
amateur field. The Georgian was
eliminated from the British anna
teur after beating Robert Harris,
the 1925 champion, and fell be-
fore George Won Elm in the final
of the American event.
The collection Of conquered
champions is rounded out by the
startling defeats in Berlin of
Paavo Nurmi and 6, general base
ball upheaval which has seen the
1925 pennant winners fade out,
as well as two batting kings, Rog-
ers Hornsby in the National
league, after a six-year reign, and
Harry Heilmann in the American.

GAME
GLASGOW, SAT.
FIRST GAME OFF - CLASS
ELECTIONS-JUNIORS PLAN
LYCEUM COURSE

"A IlS'lCeH ana faster team CNdD
last year, from the Wolf Point
high school, will go on the foot
ball field in Glasgow Saturday af-
ternoon to meet the Glasgow elev-
en- in the first game Of the sea
son. A game scheduled for last
Saturday in Wolf Point was called
off. The local squad has been
undergoing a strenuous hour and
a half scrimmage practice every
evening for the last week. The
one weak spot will be the mex
perience of part of the team.
Only four letter men from last
year are out this year.
Those four are Robert Moore,
who played half back last year !;
Claude Nichol, captain of the
team and half back; Harvey Vim
son, quarterback; and Charles
RatIhert, guard. This is the
fourth year of high school foot
ball for Moore and Nichol, the
third year for Ratheut and the
second for Vinson. Seven posi-
tions will therefore need to be
filled from among last years sub
stitutes and from new material.
Of the new material the most
promising is Tom House of Havre,
a man from their second team
who plays at tackle and Kay Lang
Of Froid. This is Lang's frs.
year at football but he has been
a star in other lines of athletics
and it is hoped will develop into
first class material. He will prob
aIbly have an end position.
Those who played as subs last
year are Wayde Littlefeld at
half back; Fred LaRoque at half
back and Ely McCown at center.

RAMPAGE OF
LAWLESSNESS
TIRE THIEVES, BURGLARS,
AND OTHERS KEEP THE
OFFICIALS BUSY

The lawless deeds of the Grim
inal element of the county led
the Roosevelt authorities a merry
chase this week. Safe blowers, as
yet unknown, were in McCabe
Monday night; Indians with a
thirst for automobile tires were
busy another night; and Harry
Burns, held on a charge of assault
in the second degree made trip
to Culbertson Tuesday necessary
for his hearing.
McCabe Safe Blowers
Unknown burglars left a trail
of blown safes and robbed firms
behind them in McCabe last Mon
day night Two safes were
blown, the one at the Farmers
Elevator and another at Scotty
Forbes pool hall. Quantities of
money and goods were stolen and
from another place they took q
five gallon can of gasoline. So far
they have not been detected.
From the Farmers Elevator
they took SIS in paper, $50 in
silver and one black handled
flashlight; from the pool hall they
took twelve boxes of cigars, 30
cartons of cigarettes. SIS in cash
and Pathfinder tire. The empty
can which had contained the gas
oline they stole was found Tues
day by the railroad tracks near
McCabe.
Tire Robbery
Automobile tires held an ire
sistible lure for two Indians,
Thomas Ironcloud and Charles
Charging Dog. The two men, who
were residents of Poplar, first
entered the private garage of
Louis j. Halverson and took tire
and rim from his car. They then
went to the garage on the Indian
government school grounds and
took four tires from the car of
Dan Mitchell. The property was
later located and warrants for
their arrest were sworn out on
"Wednesday. Charles Manning and
Dan Mitchell came to Wolf Point
and arrested Charging Dog here.
Ironcloud was arrested in Pop
lar. Ironcloud is in the Poplar
Jail and Charging Dog here.
Where their cases will be tried
has not been decided, as one al
legged robbery was made on civil
ian property and the other al
legged robbery on government prop
erty. Both have made full con-
fessions of their guilty deeds to
deputy county attorney Arlie
Foor.
Burns Hearing
Harry Burns, arrested lass
week on a vacant farm near Cul-
bertson was taken to Culbertson
Tuesday by Undersheriff Council
and was given a preliminary hear
ing before Justice Frank Moon,
on a charge of assault in the sec
ond degree on the person of James
owner Of the property
on which Burns was staying.
Burns waived examination and |
wss bound over to the district I
court. He was held under bond |
of $1,000 which he was unable to :
furnish and was taken back TO the
county jail at Wolf Point. !
