BURGLARS BREAK
THROUGH GLASS
J. c. PENNEY'S AND COFFEY
GROCERY ENTERED; MOTH
ING TAKEN

A bold but unsuccessful attempt
to extract cash from the tills of
the j. H. Coffey grocery and the
]. c. Penney store, better known
as the Golden Rule, was made
early Thursday morning. The rob
bers are believed to have been
the same men who were observed
climbing off from a freight train
about four a. m. Martin Michael
son and a helper were improving
the cool morning hours by unload
ing coal at the coal sheds, and
observed two men, answering the
meagre descriptions given of the
robbers, climbing out of box car
as freight slowed up.
The yeggs were very direct in
their methods and simply went to
the front door of each store and
kicked or knocked a hole in the
plate glass large enough to crawl
through. They tried the cash
registers but found the money had
all been placed in the safe. At
the Golden Rule their movements
were observed by Marshall Farley,
clerk, who sleeps in the balcony
right over the front entrance The
visitors did not stay long and as
soon as they were gone Mr.. Far
ley telephoned the store manager,
o. c. Heinze, who called up Police
man Shamley. By the time the
officer and Mr.. Heinze reached the
scene the robbers had made their
escape and could not be found.

]. c. PENNEY co. MAKES
OPENING GANNOUNCEMENT

A full length six-column display
in this issue makes formal an
nouncement of the taking over OF
the Jones chain of stores by the
J. c. Penney Co. The new com
pany is an immense concern that
has grown and prospered through
offering exceptional values in mer-
chandise and letting the public
know about it by the liberal use
of newspaper space. Business
concerns that advertise are the
ones that help the town grow by
increasing the trade volume and
trade territory. They deserve the
patronage of all interested in the
town.

which has been under suspicion
for some time A number of in

set had to be postponed because
Supt Eggers was called to Helena

now set for July 29th. A quantity
of liquor is said to have been seiz-
ed at the Duncan house.
Old Law Invoked
A vigorous and systematic clean
up of the liquor sellers on the res
ervation is being made by Supt.
Eggers, who does not bother with
the Volstead act and the compli-
Gated enforcement laws, but Is
proceeding under the old federal
law, enacted long before prohibit
ion, which provides severe penal
ties for introducing intoxicating
liquor on an Indian reservation.
That the uperintendent's cam
paign is having effect and putting
fear into the booze
fraternity was well prov
en- by the noticeable scarcity of in
toxication, fights and accidents in
Wolf Point during the Stampede.
Law abiding citizens are congrat-
ulating Mr.. Eggers on his good
work.

LACY HEARING AT
SIDNEY MONDAY
GYPSY PILOT FACING THEFT
COUNT is SECLUDED IN PRIS-
ON ON JUSTICE ORDER

SIDNEY, July 20.-The hearing
of A ]. "Steve" Lacy, charged
with stealing an airship at Galena,
ILL.,, and transporting it to Guyman,
Okla, set for July 9 before local
United States Commissioner Har-
ry Clark, has been continued to
July 25, on motion of the United
States attorney. Lacy continues to
be held in the local county jail,
unable to raise $4,000 bond. The
motion made by Assistant United
States Attorney L. V. Ketter, was
based on the statement that the
government was unable to secure
witnesses in time.
Lacy, a gypsy air pilot, was pick
ed up here three weeks ago by
George T. O'Brien, Richland coun-
ty sheriff, upon advice from the
department of justice office at
Butte, and when arraigned, he re-
fused to make plea. At that
time he was in possession of a
plane alleged to be the property
of A. P. Nelson, st. Paul, he hav-
ing disappeared from st. Paul
March 1.
Nelson came to Sidney and re-
claimed his ship, although the mot
or was the property of William
Combs of this city, the original
motor being in Glendive in dis
manteled condition.
In an interview with the Sidney
Tribune correspondent three weeks
ago Lacy admitted he did trans
port the plane, alleged by the
to be stolen from Gal
ena to Guyman, but that it was
done at the instigation of his en-
ployer, who ordered that he do
so. Lacy, admitting that he is
deserter from the marines, claims
that his employers are making him
the "goat" and that high Illinois
protection is being given to those
for whom he worked.
Acting under orders from the |
of justice, Butte, Sher-
iff O'Brien has refused to permit
any one to see Lacy and for three
weeks the prisoner has had no
contact with the outside world.
At the time of his arrest, Lacy
had Just been employed by Will
lam Coombs as a pilot and was
about to go to Ohio to fly a ship
back for Mr.. Coombs, who has
started in commercial airplane
business. Coombs has since en-
3loyed another pilot and brought
MS ship home.

WHAT IS A MERCHANT

A merchant is man who oper-
ates more than store: ne main
tains an institution.
The merchant is the man who
brings for local selection the pro-

The local store in some form you
would not be able to conveniently
buy the hundred and one things
that civilization regards as nee
essities, nor the cove ted thing S
that become the realization of
the more or less well-to-do.
The merchant is the man who
carries on credit those who must
have time, and those who want
time as matter of their own pay
ing convenience: and in either
case the merchant pays you int.
crest on his own money.
The merchant is tho man who
must not only make service and
variety of merchandise his inside
rules of success, bat who must
reach out and find his customers
thru the recognized avenues Of
good business practice: he must
tind you if his business is to re-
ach above the mere transient
trade.
The merchant is the man who
pays taxes to maintain local gov
eminent and law and order; who
contributes to worthy charities
and civic interests, generally
without viii nper or compl aint:
you can always find him approach
able; and in the process he exists
and let's live.
The merchant is the man whom

jealous eye all encroachments
against local prosperity; this with
out conditions of advertisins pat
