FURTHER RESEARCH
WORK TO BEGIN ON
LOCAL FOSSIL BED

Word has been received by DR..
J. c. F. Siegfriedt from the Carnegie
Museum of Pittsburgh that DR.. j..
Leroy Kay, field man and paleontolo-
gist, will arrive here about January l
to begin further research work in the
fossil bed of the Eagle Coal Mine in
Bearcreek, a few miles from Red
Lodge. This will be DR.. Kay's second
visit in Bearcreek and Red Lodge.
During the past summer he made
cursory investigation of the fossil bed
in the Eagle Coal Mine and gathered
several hundred pounds of matrix IN
which the bone fossils were found.
This material was investigated by
paleontologists of the museum IN
which several new genera of mammals
were discovered. The indications are,
from the small amount of material in
yestigated, that in this fossil bed the
scientists will no doubt uncover a wide
variety of genera and species OF NAM
mails. heretofore unknown in the Basal
E0cene.
DR.. Siegfriedt's collection, which at
present consists of fifteen jaw bones
with perfect dentition, is now being
investigated by several institutions IN
the east.
1t is reported that the Bearcreek fos-
sill bed is one of three locations In the
North American continent where
mammal fossils are found in lower
tertiary; the other locations being
Sweet Grass county in Montana and
New Mexico. The Carbon county To-
cation is where the tooth, reported
as huan TOOTH was found in 1926 by
DIR. Siegfriedt. The tooth has caused
great deal of discussion as to
whether it is of primate or of lower
mammal.

Right OF Woman
To Serve on Jury
Is Challenged

From the $50 Edition of Yesterdays STAR
The right of Mrs. Lille Green to
serve as a juror in the Criminal
Division of the District Supreme
Court was challenged yesterday
safternoon in motion for new trial
filed by Attorney Abner Siegal on
behalf of Malcomb Howard, col
ored. who was recently convicted
of murder in the first degree by a
jury before Justice Hoehling COM
posed Of Mrs. Green, Miss Fannie
Haar and 10 men.
Siegai contends Mrs. Green is
disqualified as being in the pay
of the United States. She is the
wife of d deputy United States
marshal, who receives his pay
from the United States. The
lawyer quotes a decision of Justice
Hoehling in a divorce action I'm
which the court held that husband
and wife are one, and he argues
that therefore Mrs. Green and her
husband are one. and since the
deputy draws pay from the United
States his wife is disqualified as
juror.
Mrs. Green has served on a num-
Der OF cases since her appointment
as 81 juror. and should the motion
of Siegai prevail and a new trial be
granted, 1t is expected n number OF
other prisoners convicted by juries
on which she sat may take ad-
vantage Of the technicality to ask
a retrial.

the good of European business. the
United States should retain its tariff
wall.
use as a club, but Europe should
abolish high tariffs as between nations
on that continent for their own good.
Mr. Depew has always been a high
tariff man..
Never in the history of the United
States have such business opportun-
tiles been opened and prosperity been
so high, Mr.. Depew said. Part of this,
he declared, Is, due to the absolute
freedom of business intercourse be-
tween 4s States and part to the lesson
of thrift the American people are
learning.
Mr.. Depew said the American girl
of today is the same unspolled girl
her grandmother was so and 10 years
ago, and any charge that she Is wild
and immoral is untrue.
"She has adapted herself to changed
and largely led them" ne
said, "but she is essentially the same
girl as her grandmother was"
Mr.. Depew is well and vigorous Tor
a man of his advanced years. He de-
clares his eyesight and hearing are
