BANCROFT TO
RELY MAINLY
ON VETERANS
Boston Braves, However.
Have an Abundance Of New
Material to Fall Back on

Boston. Feb. 3.-LP-Whilc the
Boston Braves face the opening of
the spring training season with an
abundance Of new material to be
tested. indications are that Manager
Dave Bancroft will rely mainly on
last seasons veterans to keep the
team in the race for the National
League pcnnant.
Pitchers compose the greater part
of the fresh material which Bancroft
viii take to st. tersburg, Fla. next
month. To the Braves staff of We
teran hurlcrs have been added several
prospects expected TO bring needed
strength to this department.
The new twirlers include Jack
Knight, purchased from the Philadel-
phia Nationals at the waiver price.
and Charles Robertson, drafted from
Milwaukee. Robertson was once with
the Chicago White SoX, for which he
had the distinction of pitching a no.
hit game. Archie Kelsey. young
southpaw, was bought from Waterloo,
Iowa.
The Braves have recalled Arthur
Mills from Providence Herman
Holshauser, another pitcher, was
picked up from Charlotte, y. 6.
Infield Remains Intact
None of the players who composed
the Braves infield last season is
missing from the roster but the club
has acquired several requirements
Outstanding among the new infleld
material is Herbert Thomas. recalled
from Providence, where he ranked as
the. best infelder in the Eastern
League last season.
For the outfield, the Braves have
all the players who finished the sea
son there for the team last year, rs
. well as two promising candidates
Lance Richbourg, a bright outfield
prospect, comes to the Braves IRON
Milwaukee, where fans rated him as
better than Schultz, for whom the
St. Louis Browns paid $4,000. An
other promising youngster IS "Ked
Barron, n former Georgia Tech foot
hall and baseball star, who performed
well in the outficld for Providence
last season.
Contending for n chance to WORK
behind the bat with each" Taylor
first string catches, will be Franz
Hogan, who led the New England
League in batting last year. He was
farmed out to Lynn and reJolned the
Braves after the New England League
schedule was finished.

HERE DURING STAMPEDE

w. M. Combes and his pilot, w
H. Connor, are her from Sidney
with Mr.. Combes' new Waco bi-
plane just recently purchased.
They made many flights Thursday,
carrying passengers and found

The Waco is said to be the very
latest model bi-plane and is adapt
ed especially to commercial work.
1t is easily handled and can land
or take off on any small level
spot, free from distractions. Mr..
Combes says he bought it partly
to crafty his hobby and partly for
taxi business. He can pilot the
plane himself but never carries
passengers, leaving that for Mr..
Connor who is a trained aviator
with war experience.
Mr.. Combes is a member of the
Sidney golf club and says there
is considerable in common be-
tween aviation and golfing, as in
either science proficiency depends
not only on natural aptitude but
on practice, practice and still more
practice.

lightning Strikes Man
Pulling Weeds In Field

RED LODGE.-Lightning claim
ed the life of Charles H. Ranta.
46, at his ranch 10 miles north of
Red Lodge. on Dry creek, while
he was pulling weeds in a field
not far from his farm home. He
was alone at the time and the
tragedy was not known until about
an hour later, when his daughter,
Helen, went to call him to dinner.
The little girl ran to her mother
and told Of finding her father limp
and helpless. DR.. E. NJ. Adams
was called from Red Lodge at
once but found that the man had
been dead for more than an hour,
probably having died instantaneo-
ously. The electric storm during
which he ] ost his life was not
noted as having been particularly
severe, but the one savage bolt
had struck him squarely on the
head and coursed down his body
to his lower limbs and had literal
ly torn the shoes from his feet.
His neck was broken. This is the
first fatality from lightning in the
community tbs season.

POINT CLUB SWINGERS
ENJOY DAY AT RICHEY

A team of II members of the
Wolf Point club accepted the in
vitation OF the Richey Golf club
for IS holes of match play last
Sunday and enjoyed a fine trip
and interesting tournament.
In the hurry of getting started
home so as to catch the ferry,
the exact result of the match was
not checked up, but is was evi-
dent that Wolf Point was the win
ner by a fair margin of points
The match was for holes on the
point system.
The enterprising Richey club
has the best course the Wolf Point
players have seen any place, in
Guiding the local course. The
Richey course is cleverly laid out,
well kept and decidedly sporty.
Their wonderful sand greens are
their best feature. It is safe to
venture the assertion that not a.
mother town the size Of Richey in
Montana or the states immediate
ly surrounding has as fine golf
course. An extra rank growth of
grass this season is a drawback to
all prairie links as it makes the
rough" rough with vengeance.
The Richey players viii play a
return match on the Wolf Point
course next Sunday Some will
come over Saturday to see some
of the Stampede.

2 SOUGHT FOR
BRUTAL CRIME
ASSAULT ON GIRL NEAR
BROCkTON ALLEGED; IN
DIANS WANTED

Complaint was filed in the coun-
ty attorneys Office Thursday
against two Indians whose identi-
ty is uncertain on a charge of rape.
Complaint was sworn to by John
Bertino, who resides in the Brock
ton vicinity.
According to the information
given the authorities the offense
was committed late Wednesday af-
ernoon, July 13, when 20-year
old sister of Bertino went to the
pasture to bring home some cows.
Two Indians came riding by, one
on white pony and the other on
pinto. 1t was alleged that they
seized the young woman and by
means of force committed the
dastardly crime.
AS soon as she had reached
home and told of what had hap
pened her brother says he took
his rifle and set out to find and
apprehend her assailants, but they
could not be located.
Justice Charles Gordon issued
John Doe warrants for the arrest
of the two Indians and it is ex-
pected that they can be found with
out great delay. Two Indians
were arrested in Wolf Point on
suspicion Thursday but were re-
leased when they gave satisfactory
information as to their movements.
The victim of the assault says
that she will be able to identify
her assailants when she sees them.
Supt. Chas. Eggers was in town
and was advised of the affair and
will use all efforts to apprehend
the Indians wanted The sheriff's
Office is making every effort to
locate the guilty parties.

lST HORSE SALE
HELD JULY nth
ELEVEN HUNDRED ARE SOLD
ONLY FEW WORK HORSES,
CANNERIES GET MOST

The first sale of abandoned an(
Indian horses, held at the stampede
grounds last Monday, brought in
about $4,000. Eleven hundred head
of horses were sold under the ham
mer Most of them were small
cayuses. The Butte Packing Co
bought one lot of 666 horses. About
400 of the horses were Indian stock
There were number of good
work horses which brought from
$14 to $40 a head, while the can
ners brought only s2.75 to $500.
The horse sale brought to Wolf
Point large number of farmers,
stockmen and buyers.
Immediately after the stampede
another roundup will be started
and as soon as that is completed
date will be set for the second
sale and the brands will be adver-
tised in the Herald.
There are thousands of stray or
abandoned horses on the reserva-
ton, which have reverted practic-
ally to the wild state. Years when
there is a shortage of feed they
eat grass which is needed for the
cattle and sheep and destroy a
amount of grain. The
purpose of the official roundup is
to rid the range of this nuisance.
The purpose of advertising the
brands is tc give owners of the
stock an opportunity of claiming
they if they so desire.
