ARCHIE GETS into
<t--
PECK OF TROUBLE

Archie Mallon, arrested at Logan
last Thursday on a charge Of dis
turbing the peace, pleaded guilty
when arraigned in Justice of the
Peace Axtell's court and was fined
$50 and sentenced to serve 80 days
in the county Jail. Later Mallon paid
the fine, plus $13.25 costs, and the
Jail term was suspended. o..
Archie's troubles, however, were
not over. With an astonishing disre-
gard for prOpriety he had paid the
costs with a personal check which,
Sheriff Slaughter later found, was
'no good" That not only violated
the law but flouted official dignity,
and MallOn soon was back in jail
again.
The complaint this time was filed
by the sheriff. Brought into court.
Archie made good the check, plus
$13.25 more for further costs. He
was not released, and while decision
upon the penalty to be imposed fol
his latest Offense is being given ju-
dicial consideration by Justice Ak
tell, Archie occupies a cell.

LIVESTOCK LOSS
DUE TO STORM
Cold and Snow Hard on Lambs
and Calves-Range COndi-
tiOn Not So Good

Long continued storms and snow
have been damaging to Montana live
stock, and unless relief comes short
" conditions in the industry will be
serious, according to the report for
the week ended April %, issued by
the Montana division of publicity in
cooperation with the state extension
service. Storage supplies of feed
are practically exhausted in a few
counties. Range conditions generally
are poor, due to retarded growth Of
grass. In the western section Of
Sanders county there is reported 8
shortage of hay that is putting cat
tie on grass in very thin condition.
The unreasonable weather has
caused trouble with lambing and some
sheepmen report heavy losses. Per-
centage of loss of lambs cannot yet
be ascertained but reports from Cas-
cade, Fergus, POndera, Phillips,
Blaine, ChOuteau, Lewis and Clark,
and Rosebud indicate that some loss
has been sustained in nearly all
sheep growing sections Of the state.
ChOuteau reports loss of both calves
and lambs in the storm. The Phillips
county spring pig crop will be small
due to small litters, it is said, and
Blaine reports some loss of cattle.
The storms which have character
lied the week have been accompanied
by moisture which, although not bad
ly needed will supplement reserves
and be Of use later in the season
High winds with heavy falls of snow
or rain prevailed with few exceptions
Roads have been rendered almost i'm.
passable in some sections. Rosebud
reports a solid week Of almost con
tinuous snow and rain.
Winter wheat is still looking good
Field work has been progressing
where weather conditions permit out
side operations.

WOMACK- -DOZART
BATTLE DRAW
Many Fans Disagree With Jud-
ges-GOOd Preliminary Bouts
Another Card Soon

After 10 rounds of fierce fighting,
the Emmett WOmack-Jim DoZart
boxing bout, feature event of an ex-
cellent card at Manhattan last Thurs
day evening, was declared a draw.
The decision, while probably just,
could not be designated as popular,
many of the fans believing that Do
zart should have been awarded a win.
However, a careful analysis of the
battle, and consideration of the con-
dition of both principals at its close,
would seem to Justify the verdict.
In the second round, as WOmack
came in furiOusly, DOzart landed a
hard one on Womack's cheek that
dazed the Ennis "bearcat" and sent
him staggering to the ropes. Do
zart, however, was too cautious and
thereby lost his best opportunity for
a knockout. In the third the Wy
Oming man used his left with bloody
effect, sending five straight ones to
WOmack's face and then socking a
hard right to the same nlace. This
was DOzart's round by a wide mar
gin.
Womack failed to produce an eff
fective counter for DoZart's left, and
suffered considerably from its fire.
quency and power In the seventh
he rallied and punished Dozart Sc
verely, and tried to repeat in the
eighth but was frustrated by clever
blocking and lodging. Both men ap-
peared tired and their blows lacked
steam. The tenth had the crowd IL
an uproar, with each fighter trying
desperately for a knockout and each
too anxious and too tired to put II
over.
All of the preliminaries were good
ones and held much Of interest. The
Onlv knockout came in the bout be-
tween Luke Hoffman of NJ. S. G. and
Louis Krause of Ennis when, In the
second round, Krause slipped one to
Hoffman's solar pleXus and the lO-
cal boy went down to stay. Few saw
the blow, and many believed Hoffman
had quit cold. This is denied by his
handlers, who declare that he was
clearly out and so weak that ne had
to be assisted to his dressing room.
OFT ROmney, physical director Al
M. S. c., officiated as referee with
his usual efficiency. The attendance
was very good, and the card was FuT
off without any vexing delays.
Already talk of another series OF
bouts, to be staged at Manhattan
June Is, is heard, but at yet no def.
mite plans are being made. WOmack
it is understood, may again appear II
the main bout, matched with a suit
able contender to be selected from
the several who have signified a de
sire to meet him.

STORM CEASES,
COLD CONTINUES

Wednesday brought an end, at least
temporarily, to the rough weather
Bozeman and the Gallatin had ex-
perienced for 10 days. While the fire.
quent falls of snow ceased, however,
and Old Sol did his best to melt some
Of it from the ground during middle
Of-the-day hours, unusually low tenn
peratures prevailed at night and III
the early mornings.
For Easter Sunday the weather
man was kind enough to halt the
snowfall until late evening, giving
churchgoers an opportunity to display
their seasonal finery, although a cold,
raw wind made the wearing of such
attire a shivery proposition.
Monday night the mercury began to
shrink, and by Tuesday morning II
had gotten within reach of the zero
mark, temperatures as low as six
above being reported here; four above
at Gallatin Gateway, and five above
at Belgrade. Wednesday night was
considerably warmer, but the ther.
mometer still registered well above
the freezing point.
With the coming of Thursday, in
dicatiOns were that not only was thl
storm, or series of storms, over bu
that more pleasant temperature
probably would prevail. A heav,
covering Of snow blankets the east
ern and northern sections Of the val
lev, and in the hills it is said to Ii
anywhere from 10 to 80 inches deep.
Farmers are showing some anxiet
over the delav to spring work. Th
moisture will be beneficial, but
late seeding should be followed by
short growing season, much los
would result. 1t is hoped that plOv
ing, which last year was begun Apr
ID, may be in full swing before tn
first Of the month.

INJUNCTIONS THREATENED

NEW YORK, January 10 LP).- r..
junction suits will be filed against Tia.
Mexican government by all American
oil companies operating i'm that cour.
try, if President Gales carries on
his intention to cancel all drilling pei
mits issued since the beginning o. tHs
year. 1t was learned yesterday.
The suits. known as "amperos, vii.
he entered in the lower courts. They
will be directed specifically against
the Mexican alien land and petroleum
law. which provides that petroleum
lands ON which applications for con
firmation of rights were not filed 10y
January ] should revert TO the ua-
ton.
Fears We're expressed in some qua.
tiers that the Mexican government IS
action is a preliminary step toward
ultimate confscation of the properties
Thus far the only official informa
ton received here was a telegram
from the representative of thu
Huasteca Petroleum Co, subsidiary
of the Pan-American Petroleum and
Transport Co, stating that he had
been advised by the Mexican Petroleum
agent in Tampico that three drilling
permits issued since January l had
been ordered Cancelled" because of
the companv's failure to apply for
concessions under the new law prior
to the beginning of the year.
The telegram did not reveal wheth"r
actual cancellations had taken place
