PAYS FOR FARM and
EQUIPMENT, One CROP
RichIand County Leader)

One of the outstanding come
backs of eastern Montana has
been demonstrated here this sea-
son by Secondo Pistocco, an ltal-
ian boy who came here five years
ago from the Illinois coal fields.
Secondo purchased a half section
farm this spring from R. ID. Pet
rik. fifteen miles northwest of
Lambert, at the same time renting
another farm adjoining it and
planted four hundred acres of
wheat, from which he threshed
nearly nine thousand bushels of
No. 1 wheat, Mr.. Pistocco purchas-
ed his whole farming outfit this
season, consisting of all power
machinery from a tractor to a
combine, and he tells the editor
that he will pay for everything
this season with his wheat crop,
including the land, and he says,
he will have a few hundred dol
lars left to carry him through the
winter. 1t is a fact that this is
not done in all cases but in cases
where the farmer wants to get
down and work it ear be done.
Another thing Mr.. Pistocco had in
his favor was plenty of rainfall.

direction and Mrs. Berge was left
lying bound and gagged for sew
eral hours, when another truck
driver found the woman. She
was taken home, where, aside
from v shock and exposure
she was unframed.
1t is now thought that the sup
posed tourists were bank robbers.
Mrs. Berge describes one man as
being OF small stature, wearing a
moustache; the second, a large
dark heavy set man, whose upper
teeth were nearly all gold and
were prominent. The third per-
son, dressed in knickers, is believ-
ed to be another man dressed as a
woman, as the voice and carriage
~noticeably masculine.

An immense painting showed
the old fort as il had been in it's
youth, showed the log buildings.
Indian tepees and lodges. After
the celebration. this huge painting
was stored in the Fort Union
depot and was thought to have
been still there. A year or so ago.,
this depot was closed. Fort Union
then became not even a flag sta
ton. The depot was one of the
buildings burned.
