The Wolf Point and some OF
the rural schools opened Monday
with fine weather and heavy en-

be split in order to work a system
of equalizing the work of the
teachers. The next week or two
will doubtless see the number OF
students further increased.
The enrolment at the opening
was: first grade, 81; second, 40;
third, 81; fourth, 50; fifth, So;
sixth, %; seventh, 40; eighth and
high school, 160.

TORTURE USED
BY THIEF GANG
LONE MAN VICTIM OF NIGHT
PROWLERS WHO DEMAND
"BOX or MONEY"

Late Saturday night a gang of
men whose identity is still un-
known, went to the home of Lem
uel G. Slower, living by himself
near the mouth of Sand Creek,
south of the Missouri, and over
powered him, demanding that he
give them his "box of money"
Slower told them that he had no
money. The gang tied him to his
bed and tortured him by burning
his feet with paper torches. They
searched his house and clothing
and finally secured $40 in change.
When they departed they left him
tied to the bed, but he managed
to free himself and go to the Cusk-
er home nearby where he gave
the alarm. Frank Bannister was
called and went to the Slower
home but no clue could be found
to the identity of the men. Mr..
Bannister says that the yard and
house give evidence of terrific
struggle, although Mr.. Slower was
not seriously injured.
1t is believed that the men row
ed across the river at Wolf Point,
as the row boat which belongs to
the ferryman, was found on the
south side of the river, when it

Resolutions
Resolutions adopted by the
meeting follow:
Members of the Theodore
Roosevelt International Highway
Inc, Montana Division, at their
annual convention in Chinook,
Mont, Monday, September 19,
1927, note with glowing satisfac-
tion the wonderful agricultural
prospects and the assurances Of
prosperity which lie before the
people of northern Montana.
During the past year, as re-
suit of the passage of Initiative
Measure, No. 81, and the levying
of gas tax for use of the state
highway commission in the con-
struction of the seven per cent
highway system in Montana in
conjunction with federal aid
great progress has been made in
road building in Montana and a
program has been outlined which
guarantees to this state a system
of wonderful highways.
"The record of the state high
way commission has been most
satisfactory and its work has
been highly pleasing, its program
contemplating road construction
that will benefit the whole state,
in fairness and with equal benefit
distributed throughout the COM
monwealth.
Lack of funds naturally de
lays the full completion of the
roadbuilding contemplated and
there is now being discussed a
proposition providing for an is
suance of bonds for highway
construction, to be paid principal

COMMUNITY FAIR
VOLT OCTOBER 4

With committees in charge oi
the various divisions of the fail
and with many of the preliminary
details cared for, the executive
committee in charge of the West
ern Roosevelt Fair to be held al
Volt, October 4th are looking for
ward to the most successful fair
held in that section. With favor

exhibit on and judging of field and
garden products, poultry, canned
goods, needle work and miscellan-

ly following the afternoon pro-
gram to enable everyone to see
the pictures before chore time.

from Benrud is anxious to cross
bats with the team composed of
men from the same community
who gave them a tough game a
year ago. In case this cannot be
scheduled other arrangements will
be made by the committee in
charge.
The Western Roosevelt Fair is
being sponsored jointly by the
Wide Awake, Volt and Benrud
communities, the committees of
these three communities having
organized into a fair board with
Sid Scourey of Volt president and
Joe Camrud of Benrud secretary.

and gardens produced in western

10000 WATCH TUNNEY WIN
SECOND Time FROM DEMPSEY
Winner and Loser Battle for Gigantic Purse of
ST. 154OOOO; Few Vacant Seats Are Left in Nam
moth Stadium Where Worlds Championship Is At
Stake Weather Is Rather Cool

Gene Tunney successfully de-
Tended the worlds heavyweight
championship Thursday night
at Soldier Field stadium, Chicago,
against a sensational challenge
from Jack Dempsey when he car
ried off the judges decision in a
10-round match before record
breaking crowd of 10000 that
paid S2,SOO,0OO to see the slashing
battle.
nT'ianney came back to win the
fight, with a brilliant rally in the
last two rounds after being knock
ed down for a count of nine in the
seventh round by smashing
right to the jaw, followed by a
left.
Dempsey seemed to have the
title in his grasp at this stage as
the slashing attack had Tunney
in retreat, but the champion, put
on the defensive, weathered the
storm until his head cleared.
Dempsey was at 1929 pounds
for the major effort of his color
full career, Tunney 1872. Both
were in perfect condition with
Dempsey two pounds lighter than
the night the former champion
conquered Jack Sharkey in New
York to inaugurate>, his comeback
campaign.
A Thriller
The announcing was good and
gave a realistic touch to the story
of the terrific battle. Reception
was very clear.
After the second round Gene
looked like winner nearly all the
way except in the 7th when Jack
for about ten seconds seemed to
have his old title nicely sewed up.
After the count of nine the an
nouncement was, "Tunney is up,
but to many it sounded like Tun-
ney is out. The moment brought
the greatest thrill of the exciting
40 minutes, with numerous cases
of near heart failure.
The Finish
They shook hands in the center
of the ring Jack floored Tunney
again with a left and right to
the chin. Gene was up before the
timer could start counting. Jacks
right smashed into Genes head
again and the water from Jacks
hair splashed over the ringside
writer's. Jack, the tiger again,
whaled in with both hands but
Tunney tied him up in a clinch.
They paused and as Dempsey
dropped his hands Tunney whip
ped a left and a right hook into
the Manassa mauler's face. Gene
came into the attack, ripping both
hands to the head. While Demp-
sey appeared to tire, Gene laid
him on the ropes, but the champ

DIRECTORS HEAR

w. L. YOUNG RETURNS FROM
CHINOOK-BRIDGE PRO-
GRAM LOOKS GOOD

Tuesday evening a session of
the directors of the Commercial
club was held to check up on high
way and bridge progress. 1t
proved to be an enthusiastic and
interesting meeting with a full at
tendance of directors and officers
Stennes, Huxsol, Flint, Appelgren,
Wigtil, Livingston, Johnsons
Young, Marshall, and Secy. Cor
don.
Young Reelected
w. L. Young had attended the
annual meeting of the Roosevelt
Highway association, at Chinook,
on the 10Th, as director from
Roosevelt county, and gave an in
teresting report of the proceed
ings. Two members of the State
/ Highway commission, o.. S. War
den and J. H. Rowe attended and
there was a good attendance from
places along the Roosevelt high
way. The program mapped out
promises rapid progress that Will
see a virtually completed federal
and state highway through the
state within two or three years.
The details of the convention will
be found in another story in this
issue. Mr.. Young was reelected
a director of the association to
represent this county. He extend
ed an invitation to the association
to meet at Wolf Point next year
Leavitt Coming
Congressman Scott Leavitt was
one of the speakers at the meet
ing. Mr.. Leavitt promised Mr.
Young he would come here Octo-
ber 1st to get in closer touch with
the Wolf Point bridge situation
and obtain data that will assist
him to render any service possible
at Washington.
The State highway commission
ers agreed to come at the earliest
date consistent with other appoint
ments already made at other
/
places, which include a trip to
Denver. There are many matters
of importance calling for the time
and attention of the commission.
Chairman Warden said that he
could stop at Wolf Point on his
way east, October 18th, and would
try to get the other members 10
agree to that date. The Chin
ook meeting developed that the
Wolf Point bridge project has
many friends among the leaders
of highway development and fav-
orable action by the authorities
appears to be only a matter OF
getting to it. 1t is recognized as
a great economic necessity for de-
velopment and traffic.
Glasgow Too
representatives from Jordon
and Glasgow had a map showing
a proposed bridge across the Mis-
souri, south of Glasgow which they
brought to the attention of the
State commissioners, who immed-
lately called in Mr.. Young to see
it. There was a general laugh
over the matter and Mr.. Rugg,
secretary of the Glasgow Chamber
of Commerce, explained that they
did not expect to place it ahead
of the Wolf Point project but that
they did think they ought to have
a bridge, too.
