Feminine visitors at the studio IN
Hollywood, where Constance Tai

ticuIarly boyish bob and wore it per-

The new hair dress brought out
the blonde tints in the stars hair and
made Ii seem much lighter than when
she wore it curled.
If the frequency Of arguments at
the studio is q criterion, feminine adj
n,irers the world over win find much
food for conversation in Comics new
haircut when it is seen for the first
time in "Her Sister From Paris" at
the D & R theater Friday and Satur7
day.
One reason for the peculiar cut was
that in this new picture Constance

one being vivacious, flirtatious stage
dancer who completely charms male
hearts with, amusing and sometimes
alarming complications.

POTATO EXPERT SAYS
WE HAVE RIGHT SOIL

George T. Murray visited Wolf
Point last Saturday as representa-
tive for w. j. Roberts, the potato
dealer of Berthold, N. d. Potato
growing is an important industry
in the Berthold district and Mr.
Roberts is one of the largest grow
ers as well as dealers in the North
west. His potato warehouse, with
capacity of 10000 bushels, is
one of the largest to be found any
where.
Mr.. Murray, who is a farmer and
potato grower at Berthold, says
that investigations have led him to
the conclusion that the soil in this
county on the lower benches of
the Missouri, after being condi-
toned, is just as good for growing
potatoes as the soil at Berthold.
He says that many people who
have attempted to make profit
from potatoes by growing them for
table use have become discouraged
because of fiucuating prices and
the heavy cost of transportation
to the large markets. He believes
that the small grower who has
good potato soil should confine
to growing for the local
market or for seed, for which
there is always a large demand in
the southern states.

COURT SETS NEW DATE AFTER
DELAY THROUGH APPEAL;
INTENTIONAL

Ferdinand Schlaps will be hanged
on Friday, May 20, 1927, in the
county Jail yard at Wolf Point
Executive clemency is, of course,
always an intervening possibility
Judge Paul, presiding at district
court here Wednesday, for the sec
ond time set the date for Schlaps'
execution. An appeal from the
district court by the attorneys for
the defense brought about a delay
of nearly seven months.
Saturday afternoon, May 1, 1926,
Schlaps shot down Tony Geisler
and his wife, Ludmilla, at their
farm home near Beim post office.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1927-04-15

A single barrel, single shot shot
gun, belonging to Geisler, was the
weapon used by the 1S-year old
farm hand, who had been employed
by the Geislers just month. Two
charges were fired at each victim,
in each case while their backs
were toward their slayer
Confessed
Schlaps made both oral and
written confession to the crimes,
and testified to the facts during his
trial. He wanted his employers
new sedan car and made first use
of it to convey the bodies to the
Little Muddy river, several miles
from the Geisler farm. He also
found ten or twenty dollars in the
house and took it.
Schlaps was tried for the muir
der of Mrs. Geisler, whom he says
he shot in the house after her hus-
band had been killed at the barn
The Geislers had been married
not quite a year when they were
and the wife was an ex-
pectant mother.
Moron
The defense of Schlaps was
based on the claim that he was of
low mentality and not fully ac-
countable for his act The trial
lasted 16 days. The jury was of
one mind from the first ballot for
a verdict of guilty and the death
penalty. The defendant was sui
