FINDS DETROIT
WONDERFUL CITY
J. 3. RANDALL VISITS SONS
SEES SIGHTS OF THE
MOTOR HUB

Postmaster Randall returned
from his months vacation Satur-
day. He went east by train as far
as Detroit where he spent eleven
days with his sons William and
Bruce. Mr. Randall can scarcely
find words to describe the wonders
of Detroit, which is almost or
quite at the head of the American
industrial cities, he says. He says
st greatly surpasses Chicago in
outward evidences of intensified
business. Views from the tops Of
tall buildings show forest of
chimneys and stacks, but, besides
these, the city has many beauty
spots in its parks and residence
sections. The electric displays are
marvellous and impossible of des-
cription. 1t is claimed that more
people pass through Cadillac
Square in a day than any similar
spot in any other city in America.
Drives Car Home
Great as is the business activity
there are still many idle men. The
great Ford plants are at present
shut down, while machinery is be-
ing changed preparatory to the
of the new model
about to be brought out. Strict
secrecy is maintained as to the
features of the new car. officials
of the company claim that they
do not yet know what the new

REVIVED-HEAPS OF FUN
INJURIES NOT FATAL

The good old game known as
baseball, still played in many To-
calities and formerly popular in
this city, was dug up and busted
off on the Volt diamond last Sun
day afternoon. A bunch of old
mercial and professional circles of
Wolf Point, drove up to demon

The final picture thrown on the
score board showed Volt IA,
Wolves 13.
But there was mistake in the
figures some place. The Voltage"
proved too heavy for the live
wires and several plugs blew up.
There were no serious injuries,
except to athletic regulations.
The drug store had record sale
of liniment next day. Johnny Her
man went about with the aid of
a couple of short lengths of 4.
Fremont Green was a striking re-
production of Jack Dempsey after
Gene Tunney got through with
him. But, Oh, boyl 1t was rare
amusement for the natives and
tenderfeet who had gathered to
the number of 500 or a thousand.
The roofing was wild but it was
all good patured because Albert
Lee did a high class job as umpire
and disputes were very few and
mild. There was some good ball
playing on both sides. Whatever
was lacking in skill or practice
was more than made up by en-
and earnest effort. This
was evident from the crutches,
bandages and limping gaits noticed
the next day.

Dog Poisoner Busy
On The Southside

Some person with an evident dis
like for dogs has been scattering
poison through the southern por
tion of the southside of town for
a month or more, and has been
successful in killing five or six pets.
This cowardly practice meets the
approval of no one except those of
the same stripe as the poisoner.
If a person is annoyed by dogs
the straightforward and honorable
way is to go to the owner and tell
him so. Few. if any. dog owners,
will fail to take care of their dogs
if complaint is made. L. NJ Clay
ton and A. w. Huxsol have offered
a 800 reward, in this issue. for
information leading to the identi-
fcation of the guilty person.

May Leave Vida Phone
Messages At Herald Office

The lack of telephone connec-
tion with Vida and the Southside
country is proving a great incon-
venience. Until the river gets in
condition so that the wire can be
restrung across the stream, those
having brief messages of real i'm
portance and urgency to transmit
to Vida, will have a chance of
getting them sent across if they
put them in writing and leave
them at The Herald office.

progress with his contract to grade
and gravel the business streets
and has finished cutting down and
bringing to grade the block be-
tween Second and Third avenues.
Putting the gravel on the block
was begun Wednesday. Just when
this block will be finished is not
known now, but it will certainly
be before the beginning of the
Stampede. This block was in the
worst condition and requires more
work than any of the others.

HORSE And BRAND LIST
HOLDSPAPERFEW HOURS


In order to give legal notice of
the horse roundup sale, to be
held July Il. it was necessary that
a complete list describing the
horses and brands should be pub
lished in this weeks Herald. The
roundup people were unable to
complete the list until Thursday
and, as it fills more than nine col
umns and entailed an immense
amount of work, it was impossi-
BILE to get the paper out on time.
The backshop crew made excel
lent time after the list was re-
ceived and worked part of Thurs
day night, so the issue is only
few hours behind time.

Farmers Protest

About 700 head of horses were
ness for the sale but a protest to
the commissioners had been made
by a large number of farmers who
claimed work animals had been
some of them off from farms and
leased land with neither taxes nor
grazing fees against them.
Through a misinterpretation of
roundup, only a notice of where
lists were posted had been pub
lished. with no publication of a
list of the horses with brands de-
scribed. A large crowd of ranch
ers, stockmen, and others inter
ested in the roundup gathered in
Wolf Point Monday and gave the
town the atmosphere of the old
ranching days. The commission
ers heard all sides, and went to
Poplar with the deputy county at
torney, A. M. Foor, where anoth
er meeting was held. 1t was fin
ally decided to abide by the coun-
ty attorneys Interpretation of the
law and give due notice of the
sale by both posting and publica-
tion.
Commissioners Attitude
The investigation brought out
that there had been some reckless
work by some of the roundup
riders and il is understood that
there will be a general shake-up in
the crew before the work is con-
tinued The count board demand
ed that farmers work horses
should be turned over to them
without any expense to the far
mers. The whole matter, as ad-
justed, left no hard feeling and it
was generally agreed that the
roundup is necessary and viii
prove a great benefit to legitimate
patrons of the range, which is now
frequented by thousands of un-
branded and abandoned horses.
many of which have not value ex-
cept to sell to canneries.
Other Sales
With all parties doing their best
to comply with the law and be
fair, the business of clearing the
reservation of such animals is
bound to be difficult and confus-
ing on account of conflicting in
terests. The law providing for
such a roundup was passed by the
legislature last winter and would
have been easier to be complied
with had it not been so long de-
layed. The business of clearing
the reservation of these abandon
ed animals will call for a series
of sales similar to the one to be
held on the 11th.
