LOCALS TAKE LAST GAME OF
SEASON FROM BENTON TEAM

The local team added another scalp
to its belt last Sunday thanks Il
Fort Benton's inability to play fast
baseball
The visitors came here, a highly
recommended team, the recommen-
dation apparently gained by their
victories over other towns in Fort
Benton neighborhood They found 4
different brand Of baseball played in
this section, though; we have but 10

seemed to have the local boys meas
ure in the early innings and Cold
berg was also whiting EN- by the
visitors in grand style Costly er-
rors behind Hindle seemed to dis
courage him somewhat and starting
in the fourth the locals proceeded
to cast the gypsy curse upon his Of
ferings a-la-massacre.
Hindle was the only man on the
Fort Benton lineup that showed any
sign whatever Of ever playing on
a baseball diamond before. He was
directly responsible for all Of his
teams runs making two two.5ase
hits, scoring three men and scoring
once himself The II to A score,
from the Fort Benton outlook, was
the sad result of a good pitcher han
dicapped by an awfuIIy rotten team
behind him.
Cochlan and Prouty were Kevin's
big men Of the day The former,
who played third, made two spectac-
ular catches Of foul balls, one of
which he caught as he fell over the
water can near the Kevin dugout
He made four out of five hits and
scored three runs by his lonesome.
Prouty's hitting also helped mater
tally in the garnering Of the large
score. while his work behind the
bat was never better.

O'Neils TO Drill Two Tests
In Field North Of Collins

One well was spudded in Sunday
and another will be started within q
few dayss on an unnamed oil struc-
ture which lies between Collins and
Brady, it was announced here Sun
day night by John O'Neil of Sun
burst, representing the California
Petroleum corporation.
The well which was spudded in
Sunday is in Sc Sc Sc S6-26-2w, about
three miles north of Collins and di-
rectly west Of the station OF Perish
ing on the Great Northern railway
The location is only one mile from
the highway leading from Great
Falls to Shelby.
Nadeau brothers Of the Kevin-Sun-
burst field have been given a con.
tract for drilling the present test rc
the contact between the Ellis form
alton and the Madison limestone, MI.
O'Neil stated and another rig is be-
ing moved in preparatory to starting
a second well as soon as possible.
The location for the second test has
not yet been definitely selected.
The customary practice in develop
ment Of wildcat structures is to sink
one test before starting another but
Mr.. O'NeiI stated that drilling would
be in progress in two wells in this
area at the same time because Of a
desire to check on deductions as to
the geology Of the structure as rap
idly as possible The wells will be
located SO that when completed,
their logs, together with those Of
other holes drilled nearby in prev
ious years. may be correc. ed and the
possible production area Of the struc-
ture defined
The location for the first test is
an ideal one, Mr.. ONeil said. Fuel
is shipped from Sunburst to Perish
ing, which is only short distance
from the well and it is possible to
reach the site BY automobile under
virtually any kind Of weather con-
ditions Water for drilling purposes
is being hauled from Muddy creek,
about two and one-haIf miles away.
The structure on which the wells
are to be drilled hes northwest Of
the Bannatyne structure and south
east Of the Pondera field It is the
belief Of Mr. O'Neil and other repre-
senatives Of the California corpor-
alton, however, that the field on
which exploration is Just starting, is
entirely separate from the other two
structures. Great Falls Tribune.

The petitioner AYERS that he saw a
Ford car, coming in the darkness; no
knowledge of the identity Of the oc-
cupants; no load observable; no reas-
on whatever for believing that the
car contained liquor and was being
driven by a bootlegger, except that
he had been told the day before that
McCurdy, who was known to have
driven Ford car, was coming
through that night. Would he have
the right to stop and search every
Ford car that happened, on this par

DUCK SHOOTING TO Be
POPULAR This SEASON

With hunting season but few
weeks off, the sportsmen of this vic
unity are eagerly awaiting its open
ing in anticipation Of perhaps the
best duck shooting year ever in this
part Of the state.
The wet spring and rains OF early
summer have filled every waterhole
in these parts and ducks by the
thousands abound here Lake Ke-
vim but few blocks east Of the
town limits literally teem with fly
ing beauties who find the grass coy
erd body Of water a likeable feeding
ground
Reports of gun explosions are to
be heard at this time though the sea
sssi has not officially opened. This
practice should certainly be discour-
aged. The law has set the season
and we see no reason why people do
not comply with it. There is plenty
Of shooting in these parts for every
one and it is hard to understand
just why the trusty shot gun should
be brought forth from its case to be
used on game at this time with the
opening Of the season SO close at
hand M. G. Green is deputy game
warden of this district and has is,
sued a warning to the preseason
hunter The notice appeared in last
weeks issue Of this paper and was
NOT put in to Just fill space a
few arrests Of the "unsportsmanlike"
sportsman would probably help mat
ters a little at that.

Local Team Disbanded
This was the last game of the year
Tor the locals, for at a meeting Mon-
day night, officers and players OF
the team thought it advisable to dis-
band at this time owing to financial
conditions and the lateness Of the
season.
Though the 1927 season has come
to an end it will be well to say at
This time that the club in every de-
tail was satisfactory and a credit to
the town. Other baseball teams have
been started here but at no time has
the sport reached the popularity
shown this season. Games on the
home diamond were always greeted
by large crowds and the spirit man
Tested by the fan himself was en-
couraging to the highest degree.
The boys we're under considerable
handicap at the start OF the season,
having no paraphernalia OF any kind
to start with, and it was decided to
move the former location of the dia-
mond on Lake Kevin" to a more
favored spot, later decided on as
what proved to be the present park
located north Of the city It is one
Of the best playing fields IN this part
of the state and certainly a credit to
the town.
In response to financial help the
local population came forward with
a smile and with further enthusias-
tic support put the team on its feet
with little difficulty Harry G.
shanklin, president of the organic
alton, whose untiring eff0rss and IN
ceaging toll made the going seem
more smooth, is entitled to his share
Of what praise there might be for
the businesslike way in which the
club was handled.

at the start of the season and much
credit must be given him for round

Last week Federal Judge Charles
Pray handed down court ruling
IA nAregard to remanding the case Of
the State OF Montana VS. Albert Bet
cher and Louis Monroe. 1t will be
remembered that this case is an out
growth OF the shooting Of Omer Dill
man last fall while he was driving up
the seven mile hill from st. Mary's
by Indian police, who claimed that
they were looking for a certain booze
runner. The defendants had been
successful in having this case brought
to the federal court and in the mo-
tiOn by County Attorney Judson OF
Glacier county. to have it remanded
to the state courts, we herewith print
Judge Pray's review Of the case and
his reasons for granting the motion:
'sThe above case is again before
this court on motion to remand be-
cause OF a defective Information in
the former case, wherein the motion
to remand was granted, and which
required filing Of another inform
alton in the State Court.

now under consideration 1t is more
comprehensive than the first, but Il
does not present such a case as may
be found in either Of the principles

instance depends upon the reasonable
cause the officers had for belief thai

ably informed that an automobile

through the said Indian Reser-
vation.
aT'he pe1itionee mere states: On
the goth day OF October, 1926, at the
town of Browning, within the said
Indian Reservation, your petitioner
was informed by one Philip Arrow
Top that a man by the name OF Nc
Curdy would be coming through thel
reservation with load of whiskey on
the evening Of October II, 1925, and
the said Philip Arrow Top at the
same time told your petitioner thatl

gagged in the illegal transportation oil

United States and that he made fre-
quent trips with loads, Of wl1iskey

Holt Combine Harvesters
and Caterpillar Tractor

For forty years the Holt Combined
Harvesters have been harvesting
grain of all kinds in every grain pro
ducing country, many of them giving
twenty years service. During all this
time the company has been carrying
an aggressive experimentation to
make it better, with the idea in mind
OF making it a machine that will save
all the grain and last a life time.
This year the factory is putting out
more machines than ever before and
you need have no fear that the COM
pany will not be able to make deliv-
cry within a reasonable time after
ordering.
There will be a Holt Combined Har-
vester unloaded and set up in Plenty
wood, Froid, Scobey, Flaxville, Op-
helm and possibly other points for
your inspection by the 10th of May.
A15 foot Holt Combined Harvester
equipped with 90 bushel built in steel
grain tank, straw shroud and tractor
hitch can be bought f. o. b. factory
Tor S203000. The Company will -furn-
lSh a service man to set up the ma
chine on your ranch and instruct you
IN its use, and will service same dur
ing your harvest
This spring being late the Cater
pillar Tractor can be used much soon
er than any other tractor, on account
OF the large tractive surface of the
tracks and lighter weight for the
same power. The track now used on
the Caterpillar has been in use on
tractors for seven years and show
little wear indicating that it will last
the life of the tractor. A Caterpillar
Tractor can be furnished in three
sizes: Is, 25, and so horse power on
the draw bar. Delivery can be made
in two weeks.
