Of Sports
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,

The All-NeW Britain football team
is all set tor the first clash of the
season Sunday afternoon with the
Ail-Soutnern Collegiates at Memorial
held in Willow Brook park. With
the addition of Red" O'Neil to the
line, the team shapes up as state
championship outfit.
Efforts are being made by the
management OF the team to secure
the services OF 'Zev" Graham star
quarterback last year on the Ford
ham university eleven. Graham
was running mate of Jim ZakzeW-
ski on the university team and with
this pair in operation, New Britain
will have two combinations for for
ward passing that will make it a
feared combination.
Tonight and Thursday night
Coach Dave Dunn will push the
squad through practice sessions.
These will be held at Willow Brook
park where lights have been strung
I'D. Signal drill will be gone
through and all details of offense
and defense for Sunday will be
worked out.
At the present time, the team
shapes up as one Of the best that
this city has had in a number OF sea-
sons. Thompson, star backfleld man
of last year, has signified his will
lingness to come to this city to play
but whether his services will be re-
quired or not, remains to be seen.
The present backfeld shapes up as
a really good combination. Radze-
at the halfback positions and Girls
at the holfback positions and Girls
void and Flanagan at fullback with
Graham and O'Dell at the quarter
post, is a strong combination on
paper and their work in practice
stamps them as a fast. heavy and
strong offensive machine.
In the line with O'Neil or McCue
at center, HuInphries, Nanfeldt and
Jumbo at guards, Donlan, WcrWaiss
and Conklin at tackles and Holz-
heimcr, Brink, station and possibly,
"Cnk" Connolly at ends, there
should be little to worry the coach
or the fans.
The bleachers which will give
the seating capacity at the field &C
commodations for 10000 fans, are
all at the park and will be set up in
time for the game Sunday after
noon This will make things COM
Portable for the fans who plan to at
tend and there isn't any doubt but
that there will be large crowd on
hand to see the opening game.
The Rangers football team has
been organized for the season and
the squad will hold its first practice
Thursday night at 1880 o'clock at
the foot of Arch street.
Dope on the unfinished baseball
games in the city, is lacking and at
the present time, the managers Of
tie various clubs are undecided on
whether to prolong the season at
home or not. The Red Sox will play
in Middletown Saturday and although
a game will be arranged for Sunday
the opposition is not yet known.

lars worth of negotiable bonds, left
as they came, Hesurely, entered their
automobile and drove at a furious
pace towards the North Dakota line.
The whole thing happened so quickly
and surprisingly that no one in Froid
could give a satisfactory description
of the robbers, or give directions as
to how they left town.
Aviator Gives Chase
Senator Schnitzler, who owns the
bank, which is one of the soundest
institutions of the kind in Montana,
was attending a sale when the rob
berry occurred. When the employees
in the bank finally secured a screw
driver and unfastened the bolts of the
vault so that they could get out they
telephoned the Roosevelt County SEN
ator and Mr.. Schnitzler at once head
ed towards his town and bank Mean

ler's aviator, repaired to the hangar
with the intention of taking to the
air" after the bandits. He found the
/ Ryan Plane disabled by having the
wing and propeller wires cut and the
spark plugs broken off. Evidently
the robbers planned their work we'll
and knew that they would be pursued
by the airplane. Mr.. Schnitzler's avi-
ator, in addition to being an expert
airman, is a master mechanic He
soon had the plane ''fixed up" so that
he could pursue the robbers. He
tracked them towards Williston,
where he notified the Williams Coun-
W Sheriff. He then flew in the di-
rection of Wolf Point and scanned all
the roads for a car bearing the de-
scription of the one that parked out
side the Froid bank at the fateful
hour it was robbed. One thing is GER
tain, the trail of the robbers was fol-
lowed 20 miles east of Froid until it
was lost in the hills.

EMBEZZL ZLEMENT T

H. S. Smith. agent of the Gen
eral Guarantee Fund Insurance
Company Of Omaha, was arrest

ElrOy on warrant of embezzle-
ment two weeks ago. He was

This week he was again arrest
ed, sworn out by Sam Christian
son of Medicine Lake, on the
charge of passing a fraudulent
check. He was released Wednes-
day on the order of the County
Attorney who stated that he had
paid up tho cheek. As Smith is a
notorious character around hotel
lObbies who frequently charges
that the trouble with farmers is
that they do nc work harder and
raise more, the case is looked for
ward to with much interest. The
public expect the County Attorney

The II jurors, selected after a DAYS
and half devoted to the examination
of 40 talisman, Tuesday heard the
opening statement for the government
and part of that for he defense, and
will begin Wednesday to listen to the
testimony of nearly hundred wit
nesses.
Then they will hear more argument
by counsel and an exposition of the
law by Justice Siddons before they re-
tire to deliberate on a verdict. Upon
being locked up at that time they will
elect foreman and there was specu-
latiOn whether the men would honor
one of the women with that office.
Owen j. Roberts for the govern
ment, and Martin w. Littleton for the
defense, outlined to the jury what
both sides will undertake to prove.
The special oil counsel for the govern
ment will present substantially the
same set of facts as passed upon by
the United States supreme court in
holding that the lease resulted from
'cOlluSlon and conspiracy" between
Fail and Sinclair and in characterizing
Fall as a ''faithless" public officer.
/ Under the law that decision cannot be
introduced in this case. The Jury
starts with a clean slate and open
mind and is sworn to return its verdict
upon the evidence adduced in Justice
Siddons' court.
Addressing the jury for only 20
minutes, in a tone barely raised above
! the conversational, Roberts said the
A government would show that, as a re-
suit of the conspiracy between Fall
and Sinclair, the government was de-
frauded of:
First, Teapot dome and the oil con-
tanned in it
Second, the service Of Fall as a
faithful public officer.
Third, the policy of retaining oil II
the ground for the future needs of the
navy.
Fourth, the policy of competitiv,
bidding in leasing public oil lands.
In undertaking to convince the jury
of these things, he said evidenc,
would be adduced as to secrecy at
tending the leasing negotiations ant
that Fall came into possession of Lib
erty bonds of high value immediatel,
after the negotiations with Sinclai
were concluded.
Roberts laid emphasis upon the Lib
erty bond transactions. He said that

State Papers Carry Story
The following story, giving details
of the show, has been sent to all the
papers of the state and is now being
published in all the dailies. This ex-
tensive publicity is certain to bear
rich results. The story is as follows:

Contrary to general belief in the
state, the seed corn crop of Montana
this year will be good, say extension
workers. Careful selection and adap-
tation have made possible good

not apparently favorable to corn
growing. There will be some fine ex-
hibits of corn at the show at Plenty
wood.

Der of exhibits to the show at Plenty

Bennett Outlines Objects
Jack Bennett, the first speaker, out
lined the objects of the meeting. He
said he was not there to criticize the
county officers. They were busy at
this time and he thought it was up to
those who lived in town to "clean up
their own backyards" He said the
Mayor and City Council and City Po-
lice were responsible for conditions in
Plentywood. He wanted this meeting
to stiffen the backbone and improve
the moral tone of the town
Wagner Speaks
City Attorney Jim Wagner was the
next speaker. He deplored the con-
ditions inside high wall fences and
criticized the failure of the Mayor and
