FRANK CATLIN
CHAMPION
DISPOSES OF OPPONENTS IN
HARD FOUGHT CLUB
TOURNAMENT

Meet Mr.. Frank Catlin, champ
ion of the Wolf Point Golf club
Only on such an occasion can we
indulge the much over-used title
of Mister 1t simply must be
done in this case to balance the
title of Champion on the other
end of Franks signature.
The annual tournament held
within the club is all finished and
the lineup is this:
Champion, Frank Catlin.
Runner up, DR.. J. R. Burgess.
Medalist (Best score in qualify
ing play) George H. Flint.
Winner of the consolation finals,
DR.. ]. G. DeWane.
The results of the first days
games were told last issue.
Elimination play continued last
Sunday. In fact Cook and Catlin
began their game Friday and play
ed 23 holes to a tie. Neither was
ever more than one up. Sunday
they played nine holes more and
were still tied up. Frank won
the 10th hole with par to
Johns 5, and the game.
Burgess won his game from
Foor by a comfortable lead
The final game, between Catlin
and Burgess, by the terms of the
tournament was 27 holes. The
first nine holes found them tied
but from then on the doctor was
slightly off his game and Catlin's
steadiness gave him a safe lead.
The game ended at the 22nd hole,
z up and 5 to play.
In the consolation finals, DR..
DeWane won from Marshall up.
The 1S hole tilt was close, and to
the players, interesting. The score
was tied four times. Charley was
/ up at the 9th, up at the 18th.
The game was all square at the
18th The doctor took the lead
for the first time at the 18th and
added the 18th.
A very pleasant incident of the
first day of the tournament was a
treat of delicious hot coffee, SER
we'd right out on the firing line |
by Mrs. ]. r. Burgess and Mrs.
Geo. H. Flint.
A banquet, with golf trimmings,
for the tournament participants,
and their wives, is in the planning,
as an appropriate conclusion.

UNDERSHERIFF OUT
ON EASTEND HOLD-UP

Undersheriff Charles Council is
out $22 by reason of hold-up in
Culbertson Monday evening about
6:10. George Grunst was in
charge of the Culbertson Filling
station which is owned by Mr.
Council He was at work on the
floor when two men entered, COW
cred him with their revolvers, and
demanded that he throw up his
hands. After rifling the cash reg
lister and taking the $40 watch be-
longing to Grunst, they locked
him in the lavatory and departed.
Grunst says the men were
strangers and that they did not
have a car. That evening two
suspicious characters were picked
up at Poplar and brought to Wolf
Point and lodged in the county
jail. They were found to have
on their person two ugly-looking
billies and a worn detective badge,
which paraphernalia the sheriff's
office retained. They gave their
names as J. K. Lynch of Nashua,
Ia, and Harold Deseve of Trego,
Iowa. They were released Tues
day when Grunst said they were
not the same men who held him
up. Up to the time of going to
press there has been no clue to
the identity of the men who rob
bed the station. Mr. Council says
that if the men had come about
four o'clock they would have got
ten considerably more cash from
the register.

NORRIS DOOMED
BY PROGRESSIVES
WESTERN REPUBLICANS ARE
FRIENDLY TO SENATOR
FROM NEBRASKA

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Repub-
lican progressives from some of
the great western agricultural
states have initiated a series of
conferences looking to an agree
ment upon candidate for the
presidential primaries in those
states early next year.
Senator Norris of Nebraska, who
has succeeded the late Robert M.
LaFollette as leader of the insurg-
ent group in the senate, is fore
most among those now under con-
sideration. The progressives be-
lieve that he can win in the north
western and other states and go
into the convention with a size
able delegation.
Those participating in the con-
ferences thus far include Senators
Borah of Idaho, Brookhart of Iowa
and Nye of North Dakota. Sena-
tors McMaster of South Dakota
and Frazier of North Dakota, as
we'll as other senators, are expect
ed to join in the conferences next
week
Senator Borah said Saturday it
was the purpose of the progress
sives to formulate program and
to throw the conf arences open to
all of those Interested He added
that there were many issues upon
which he could go along with Sen
ator Norris.
eff Norris is put forward" he
said, "he's mighty good platform
in himself. He has got a splendid
record down here"
Senator Norris himself said he
was not a candidate for president |
and was not allowing himself to
be deceived about the matter
However, he did not say that he
would not permit his name to be |
used in the primaries in his own
and a number of other western
states.
The Nebraskan did serve notice |
on the old guard leaders that if
they nominated an eastern con-
they would run into diff
ficulties in the west in the presi-
lential campaign. He named Sen
ators Borah and Johnson of Cali
fornia and former Governor Pin
chot of Pennsylvania as progress
5ives he could support and also /
said he could support his col
eague, Senator Howell, with en-
.husiasm.

WOMANBRAVES
ATLANTIC HOP
RUTH ELDER SEEKS FAME OF
BEING FIRST OF SEX
TO FLY ACROSS

ROOSEVELT FIELD, N. Y,
Oct. 11.-An American woman
Tuesday placed her life in the bal
ance in an attempt to be the first
of her sex to cross the Atlantic
ocean in an airplane.
Ruth Elder, 23-year-old Lake
land, Fla, aviatrix, was the wo-
man. Dressed as if for a game of
golf, she hoped off Tuesday with
her pilot and townsman, George
Haldeman, in the Stinson-Detroit-
er, American Girl. The hop-off
was made at 5:04 p m. Their
destination is LeBourget field,
Paris, France, where Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh concluded his fam
GUS transoceanic flight.
The American Girl took the air
gracefully after speeding down the
runway for about 1000 feet.
Miss Elder, also known as Mrs.
Lyle Womack, waved goodbye to
the few spectators from a cockpit
window. She carried with her a
tiny Bible, given by her mother;
Chinese ring and toy cat, all
of which she considered of equal
value in bringing good luck.
For rations on their 3,600-mile
air journey, Miss Elder and Halde-
man carried each three turkey and
three Swiss cheese sandwiches, a
flask of bouillon and three TASKS
of coffee. Caffein tablets were
carried in case of drowsiness.
The plane carried $40 gallons of
gasoline, 20 gallons of oil and a
radio sending outfit capable of
flashing messages about rs miles.
Their course was to be 1,244 miles
due east, thence in a northerly
direction following the ship lanes,
to the English channel. The fuel
was considered sufficient to carry
them 4,400 miles. The radio call
is WPAG. The plane is expected
to do 100 miles an hour

CLOTHING AND FOOD
WANTED FOR NEEDY

The Philanthropic department of
the Womans club is desirous this
year, not only to collect a good
supply of clothing to take care Of
the many demands which will
come in during the winter, but
they also want donations of veg
etables. There are one or two
families who are in actual need
at the present time, and it was
thought that some of the farmers
might have a surplus of vegeta-
bles this year, and that they would
be willing to bring in a bushel of
potatoes, a few beets, turnips,
cabbages or carrots for some who
are less fortunate than them
selves.
Donations of this sort may be
left with Mrs. Kelly at the Kelly
Hardware or with Mrs. ]. G.
Dougherty on Benton street, chair
man of the committee.
Every year this department has
many calls for clothing, particular
ly children's clothing Those who
have dresses, coats, underclothing,
shoes and stockings, which are
outgrown but not worn out, will
be assisting in a good work if
they will notify either Mrs. Thos.
R. Forbes, Mrs. Tom Kelly or Mrs.
]. G. Dougherty, or, better still,
leave them at the Kelly home.
Then, when calls for clothing are
received, the committee will be in
a position to furnish the needed
garments.
