FEDERAL OFFICERS
RAID SMOKE HOUSE
Find Liquor and Lose 1t During
Search, But Finally Recover Evi-
dence-GeOrge Dunno Arrested.

Wednesday evening at S:15 o'clock,
Custom Officer Arkwright and BOr-
der Patrolman Lawrence entered the
Smoke House cigar store and placed
George Dunno, who was in charge un-
der arrest.
Armed with search warrants the
officers set to work looking for con-
traband goods. Their search finally
brought forth three quarts of mixed
Canadian whiskey, one quart of Cor
don gin and about 80 quarts of Cana
dian beer. Some difficulty was ex-
perienced in keeping the evidence in
tact during the search
Dunno was taken before U. S.
Commissioner Belanski where he
plead not guilty and was released on
bonds to appear before the federal
court at Great Falls.
After giving Dunn, a receipt for
the liquor, the two officers found that
they had been robbed of the greater
share of their plunder during the pro-
cess of bringing Dunn before the
Commissioner. However, the two
young men who had played the trick
on the officers, readily consented tC
return the booze if they were not
charged with interfering with an ar
rest and carrying smuggled goods as
was first threatened by the federal
men. Thursday morning the two
young culprits returned the liquor anC
1t was hastily locked away.

GARNER WINS FROM
MOORE IN FIFTH
PlentywOOd Boxers Lack of Condi-
tiOn Spells Defeat In the Fifth.
Red Bolster Wins From ZenOr on
Points.

Last Friday night before a fair.
sized crowd of fans, Bill Garner wor
in the fifth round, from Joe Moore, ir
a scheduled 10-round bout.
The battle started out with all the
appearance of being an extraordinary
exhibition and Moore showed fine ring
generalship, Outpointing Bill easily in
all points of the game. The first
round went to Moore by wide mar
gin and the second rounds was
Moore's, but was contested more by
Garner than the first. The thirc
round was even as was the fourth
AS Moore took his corner in the
fourth it could be plainly seen thai
he was rapidly tiring. In the fifth
after a few passes, Moore apparently
went all in, and Garner tried for ar
opening throughout the greater part
of the round with Moore hanging on
to hand out k.o. The bell saved
the Plentywood boxer who was abso.
lutely helpless.
When the bell sounded for the open.
ing of the sixth, Moore's seconds
threw in the sponge, giving Garner
the victory.
MOore's thumb was dislocated in the
last round which also helped to de.
feat the Plentywood boxer, and the
injured thumb was badly swelled III
after the bout.
The Ground match between, "Red'
Bolster of Plentywood and Kid Zenol
of Forsyth was nice little battle
The exhibition started out with "Red'
on the aggressive and for while i
looked as though Zenor would not gC
the full length of the battle, but tn,
Forsyth lad was tough and grew bet
ter the last three rounds of the bou
and was perhaps in little better con
dition than the Plentywood lad at tn,
end. The decision was given to "Red'
on points and was heartily applaudeC
by the fans.
Young Nau of Outlook did not an
pear for his preliminary bout will
Fighting Dubry of Raymond an,
many of the fans were disappointed
as they looked forward to a gooc
mathc between the boxers. Dubr,

Gently to show the works of the Ger

small museum in the Tuilleries gar
dens, a government building near the

When Max Reinhardt, the great

at the governments theatre, the

but he was welcomed when he came
here and was entertained by theatre

appearing in the artistic world but
there is a halt whenever someone tries
to bridge the gap too rapidly.
