This farmer boy who refused
to wear the yoke of a Jew
gangster, who smiled in the
face of death and defied the
ignorant bully who disgraces
the office of chief of police of
this city, will be crucified on
the cross of their combined
savagery. What a miserable
farce, what a travesty on Gus
tice." They never gave this
boy a chance, but branded him
an outlaw. When Barnett's
plans to kill him failed, they
framed him.
Why, Rogers himself told me
that Frank Brunskill, after
pledging that he would see to
it that Nose Barnett and his
friends paid the hospital bill at
St. Barnabas, and they never
paid a cent! Barnett shot Rog-
ers down in cold blood; Brun-
skill turned the killer loose on
a nominal bond, then, even
when informed the victim was
within the shadow of death,
ordered him removed to an
other hospital; Barnett, the
known killer, a friend of the
chiefs, and a member of the
gambling syndicate; Rogers
facing a long prison term for
a crime he never committed.
And yet this blatant coward
boasts of the sacredness in
which he holds the oath he took
to protect life and property
and uphold the law! Bah!
Nose, the killer, a fugitive;
Rogers, the newspaper-made
notorious gunman," facing a
long prison term; Brunskill, ex-
beerwagon driver, kept at the
head of a police department.
And they call this "justice!'

Frank Brunskill has proven
himself to be grossly unfit to

to be an ally of the most no.

the city. He has illegally used
his official position to prevent
the exposure and certain pun

He has done nothing to-
ward protecting the taxpayers,
the business men, the decent
people of this city from the
vermin that feed on our social
body. He has done nothing in
the more than four years as
police chief, to rid the city of
that filthy, blackmailing rag,

the contrary, he has done
everything in his power TO
KEEP THAT SHEET ALIVE.

West Joins East in Cold
Spell Sunday and Monday

Chicago, Jan. 16.-(AP)- Strug-
Cling out of the grasp of sub-zero
temperatures and fighting thhe deep
est snow of the winter, the middle
west Sunday found SINE relief from
the cold wave of the past three days,
but was threatened with another
zero blanket within "a hours.
Temperatures which Saturday mite
lowered around the zero mark from
the Mississippi river to Great Lakes
section, rose during the day to
around 20 above with about the same
temperatures in prospect for Monday,
possibly accompanied by some snow,
but the weather bureau indicated a
new cold wave was forming in the
Manitoba, Canada, country and that
it might head this way by Monday
night or Tuesday.
1t is expected, however, that the
new cold blast would descend on the
northwest including the Dakotas and
Minnesota, but there were indications
that it might not spread so far south
as the late cold snap which passed
on eastward.
The coolest temperature in Chicago
Saturday night was three below.

Boys From Northern Montana Viii Go to Bozeman in Special
frain for lee-Day Session Sheridan County Boys to
Participate

Rozeman, Jan. 19-The annual
Boys Vocational conference at Mon
tana State college will open here on
Sunday evening, January 30, and will
continue until Wednesday evening.
This conference, the largest of its
kind held in the United States each
year, draws delegates from many
northwestern states and prominent
speakers and visitors from many
parts of the union. At this time, two
weeks before the convention gets un-
der way, 327 young men from Mon
tana high schools are already enroll
ed.
Prominent speakers on the pro-
gram will include George w. Hill,
New York; H. F. Foote, New York;

Declmer, Seattle; George Smell, In
ternatOnal Kiwanis trustee, Billings;

BrannOn, Helena; President Alfred
Atkinson of Montana State College,
and President c. H. Clapp of Mon
tana State university; Dean A. L.
Stone Of MissOula and Associate JUS
tice Albert J. Galen of Helena.
Because Bozeman would have diff
ficulty in finding housing for the
more than 1000 boys who attend this
conference, the Milwaukee railroad
is again sending a string of sleeping
cars to Bozeman for use by the con
ference delegates. The Pullman
company also is sending standard
sleeping cars to Bozeman for sleep
ing quarters for the boys. The Great
Northern and Northern Pacific fur
nish free transportation for judging
teams from the high schools along
their lines in Montana.
The Anaconda Copper Mining com
pany, whose financial assistance
made the first conference possible
again is cooperating by paying the
expenses of a number of young men
who otherwise could ont attend the
conference.
All delegates from northern Mon
tana will reach Bozeman by special
train Sunday afternoon. Special
trains also will leave Bozeman on
Wednesday afternoon taking the dele
gates their return journeys home.

Chevrolet Stands Up
Under Heavy. Strain

The strength and sturdiness built
into the Chevrolet closed car bodies
was stribingly proved recently when
5000 pounds of steel Traces fell five
floors from the roof of the Great
Western freight depot in Minneapolis,
Mimi, to the top of Chevrolet Sc
dan. The body of the car was unin-
jured
The radiator, however, was smash
ed in one place and the springs of
the car broken, while the body was
not even scratched. The steel frames,
fifty feet long, twenty-five feet wide
and ten feet in height, were being
hoisted to the top of the building by
derrick when a strong blast of
wind tipped the mass of steel down
ward with several tons of brick.
Large crowds assembled at the
scene of the accident were strongly
impressed with the strength of the
Chevrolet body. Had any one been
in the car, they would have escaped
uninjured, experts said. Another car
standing a few feet away was brush
ed by one of the steel girders and
completely demolished, its whole side
being torn off.

stood out as a feat unrivalled in west
ern swimming history, the young
Canadian, happy in his vioCory, gal
lantly stood aside to permit TWO
women and a man to share the glory
with him. The trio, Mrs. Margaret
C. Hauser of Long Beach; Miss MAR
tina Stager of Portland, Ore, and
Peter Meyer, of Cincinnati, Ono,
found odds too much against them
and were forced to abandon their at
tempt when in sight of their goal.
Daring and determination to COM
plete the swim were reflected in the
constant battle waged by the two
feminine natators against the cold,
especially during the night. Fame
to come to the first woman ever to
span the passage and a $4,000 prize
offered the first feminine entrant to
finish in the race, were denied Mrs.
Hauser when she was within mile
and a half of the maitland. There,
what strength remained from fight
ing the frigid waters and a tricky
current was exhausted in battling
through a heavy swell. The Long
Beach woman was in the water ap-
proximately 10 hours and 26 minutes.
She came closer to the mainland than
any of the IA other starters of her
sex. Miss Stager, although she swan
10 minutes longer than Mrs. Hauser,
halted her attempt when four miles
from the mainland.
Fog and cross currents encountered
in the close vicinity of Point Firmin
and against which he battled vainly
for more than two hours caused Mey-
er to rive up at Ais a. M, when he
was also but mile and a half from
the mainland shore. Pete Meyer of
Cincinnati, who stayed among the
leaders through most of the race,
swan between 81 to SO miles in the
16 hours and 81 minutes he was in
the water, his trainer said. He swan
the entire distance with a trudgeon
Crawl stroke, averaging from 36 to
A strokes to the minute.
