ARRESTS MADE FOR
ALLEGED SELLING OF
LIQUOR TO MINORS

City authorities working in con-
junction with the county officials
caused the arrest of seven people the
latter part of last week. The cause
of the arrests was that of the alleged
selling of Intoxicating liquors to
minors. Four men and three women
were accused Of this infraction of the
law, being: Henry Maxi, Joe Oberto,
Philip Matonovich, Isadore Enrico,
Mary Francone, Mary Kolarich and
Mrs. John Kapor.
The state law is very plain in the
matter of punishment and states that
the selling, giving away or furnish
ing any liquors to minors is punish
able the first time by fine OF not
less than $3.50 or more than $500 and
a term of not less than six months OF
more than II months in the county
jail. A second offense is harder and
is fine of from $500 to $4,000 and

EXTRA!

Yesterday Congressman Scott
Leavitt made statements before the
House Committee on Roads in
Washington in favor of the Red
Lodges Cooke City road. He was
ably supported by Senator Wheeler
and 0. H. P. Shelley. Mr.. Wheeler
also stated he was presenting the
sentiments of Senator Walsh, who
was unable to be present at the
time. A. E. Demarey, acting direc-
tor of the National Park Service
also voiced approval of the pro-
posed highway.
Congressman Chas. E. Winter,
of Casper, opposed the measure,
stating it was not his desire to
do so, but he read letters of pro-
test which had been sent to him
from commercial organizations in
Casper, Buffalo, Sheridan and
Cody.
The bill, introduced by Congress-
man Leavitt, apparently provides
for S1,943,00O as presented, al
though this is not known in Red
Lodge definitely. Because of the
numerous other bills before the
committee it is not known when
the hearing will be resumed.

CANADIAN LYNX
TRAPPED AT THE
ARROWHEAD RANCH

A Canadian lynx, trapped yesterday
morning at the Arrowhead ranch, by
George Throop, reposed all day yes
terday in the window of the Carbon
County News. It was brought to town
by Bill Dobson, owner of the ranch,
and proved a great attraction all day.
1t is exceptionally large, in fact
much larger than the bob cat which
is native of this section. It's feet are
large and resemble those of the snow
shoe rabbit. This species of lynr is
not common in this country and an
other peculiar fact is that they are
not usually found at an altitude equal
to that Of the Dobson ranch.
Mr. Throop is trapping that section
this winter and ON Monday he secured
an exceptionally fine bob-cat, which
also was on display in the window
along with the lynx.

SENDS
NEWS ON ROAD
FROM WASHINGTON
Billings Gazette)

A letter has been received by Ralph
G. Wiggenhorn from O. H. P Shelley,
who has been in charge of the efforts
at Washington to secure favorable ac-
ton on the proposed federal high
way from Red Lodge to Cooke City,
saying that the bill was due to be re-
ported out Of the committee into the
house Monday and that he anticipat-
ed favorable action at once.
A telegram was received by Mr..
Wiggenhorn Tuesday from Mr.. Shell
ley in answer to objections that have
been raised about the maintenance OF
the road, saying that the question OF
Cooke road maintenance will be work
ed out satisfactorily to those inter
ested in the approach roads to the
park The plan is to haze appropria-
lions for all approach roads together
with local cooperation at each en-
trance. The plan would benefit all en-
frances to the park and no forest
money would be used in the mainte-
nance.
A committee from Billings and Red
Lodge met with the Cody chamber OF
commerce Monday and presented then
viewpoint concerning the proposed
road before that organization. They
were kindly received, although they
found the sentiment there was against
the proposed route.

The MONTANANS
BIG FEATURE At
LAKE PLACID CLUB
MOvietOne and Paramount
Feature Them in Pictures
and Music

Mrs. Fred H. Alden recently re-
ceived some very fine pictures from
the Lake Placid Club, New York, sent
her by her son Frank G., who is man.
ager Of "The Montanans." The nota-
lions on the pictures will be of spec
ial interest to the friends of these
young men. They were all outdoor pic
lures and showed the nine-piece or
chestra seated at the edge of the lake,
playing for the fancy skaters. Clearly
defined was the Movietone appara-
tus, as the operators were taking rec
ords and pictures of the orchestra and
the antics of the skaters.
The Movietone is an improvement
over the Vitaphone and the pictures
! were shown for the first time last Fri
day night in the Roxy theatre in New
York City At the same time the
Paramount weekly photographers also
took number of pictures, and doubt
less one of these days the patrons of
the movies in Red Lodge will see the
bows on the silver screen.
Last Sundays New York Tribune
carried pictures Of the boys in the
Rotograveure section and apparently
the western boys are not lacking for
publicity Of the greatest kind. The
boys are spending their fourth season
at the wealthy club. Their contract
expires in March, at which time they
will go to New York City. They re-
turn again to the Lake Placid Club
June |, and fill another engagement
of five months.

DATE OF PRIMARY
ELECTION THIS
YEAR Is july II
Precinct Committeeman To
Have New and Important
Duty This Year

Fourteen dates in 1928 are listed
by the office of the secretary of state
as of interest to candidates and others
with more concern for the election
processes than a desire to exercise
their suffrage.
The more important of these OBJ
viously are July II, the date of the
primary, and November 6, the general
election. The primary date is a de-
parture from custom, it having been
fixed for August in years past. The
1927 legislature, in an effort to find
time more convenient to the farm
er, set it ahead to the third Tuesday
of July.
The first date on the calendar also
is new to Montana politics. 1t is May
8, first Tuesday of that month, when
under measure passed by the 1927
legislature, party precinct committee
men assemble at their county seats
to name delegates and alternates to
the state party conventions to be held
the following Tuesday, May Is, at the
SUdlC CdDllcl IlC oIdbC WIN CllglOil
selects presidential electors and dele
gates to the national conventions. The
act by which these offices were filled
by balliting at the primaries was re-
pealed by the voters in 1924, and the
1927 legislature instituted the eonven-
tion system.
The next date suggested by the Sec
rotary as of interest is June 7, which
is the last day for filling nominating
petitions. July 6 is the last day for
completing initiative petitions, July
27 is the last day on which candidates
nominated on more than one ballot
may file their acceptances.
On August the canvass Of the pri-
mary vote for officers must be con-
Guided and this, also, is the last day
for candidate 70 re aeco-...5 93 t..9il
expenses in seeking nominations.
On September petitions must be
filed for any candidates to be nominat-
ed outside the primary
Party machinery again takes I've
center of the stage September Is,
when the state central committees
gather to adopt their party platforms
and select their party officers.
After October II it will be too late
for a candidate to refuse to run De-
clinations cannot be accepted, under
the law, after that time.
November 81, candidates and spon-
sors of measures and men at the gen
eral election must have their expense
accounts in the hands Of the secretary
of state.
December 8 will tell the tale. Noon
of that day is the time set for the
state board of canvassers to meet and
certify the general election returns
to the governor. December the
board must canvass the initiative
and referendum measures and certify
the results of the vote for his procla-
nation.
January IA, 1929, ends the calendar.
On that date the presidential electors
meet at the office of the secretary of
state and prepare their message to
be CARED to the national capital to
announce the will of the voters of
Montana as to the identity Of their
next president and vice president.

CARBONFOSSIL BEDS
RECOGNIZED BY The
AMERICAN MUSEUM
Described In Scientific
Paper Published at
New York City

Carbon fossil beds in the Eagle Coal
Mine at Bearcreek receive recognition
at the American Museum of Natural
History, in a scientific paper publish
ed at New York City.
DR.. George Gaylord Simpson, As
sistant Curator of Fossil Mammals
under the title of "a New Mammalian
Fauna from the Fort Union Of South
ern Montana" in the American Mu
scum Novitates of February 2, 1923,
has described a collection of mammal
jaws and teeth collected by DR.. Far
mum Brown and DR.. J. G. F. Sieg-
friedt in. the Eagle Coal mine last sum-
mer.
The paper is well illustrated with
some 16 cuts showing the jaws, as well
as five varieties of separate teeth.
DR.. Simpson states in his paper
that the discovery of this new fauna
in the Fort Union at Bearcreek is of
considerable interest and scientific
Importance, on account of the speci
mems from Bearcreek presenting an
entirely different aspect. when COM
pared with the fossil collection from
the Fort Union of Sweetgrass county,
as confirmed by DR.. J. w. Gidley of
the National Museum at Washington,
D. G.
Much credit for the discovery and
prompt announcement of this new
fauna is given to Dr. Siegfriedt of
Bearcreek, Montana. 1t was he who
interested DR.. Henry Fairfield Os-
born, president of the American Mu-
scum of Natural History, in the Fort
Union fauna of Bearcreek, to the ex-
tent that his institution anticipates
doing research work in this field or
very extensive scale during the yeal
1929
DR.. Simpson Identifies new gener;
and species heretofore unknown, O
Insectivores, Primates, Creodonts ant
Placentals. In recognition of the dis
coveries made by Dr. Siegfriedt he
has named one Of the specimens for
him. Leipsanolestes Siegfriedti. This
specimen will be used as figure in
new book soon to be published on
the Evolution of Man.
The Siegfriedt collection which is
distinct from the specimens owned by
the American Museum, was described
in joint paper by DR.. w. D. Matthew
and Dr. Siegfriedt at the Geological
Society Meeting held at Cleveland
Ohio during the Christmas week in
! 1927

LOCAL MEN COP
AWARDS FOR 1927
BIG FISH CONTEST
c.. c.. Rowan Awarded First
Prize in National Contest
and r. GebO Second

Edgar w. Allen last week received
a letter from the John 7. Little Co.,
of Spokane, Washington, stating that
Attorney G. G.. Rowan of this city had
been awarded first prize for the 1927
Big Fish Contest conducted by them.
This company is one of the largest
exclusive fishing tackle dealers in the
northwest and this is the first year
they have offered prizes. Mr.. Allen is
their representative in Red Lodge.
Raymond Gebo was awarded the
second prize. This is a great honor
for Red Lodge, as both main prizes
come to us.
The fish winning second prize was
caught during August in Gardiner
Lake, just over the divide after climb
ing "slide-rock" trail. This Eastern
Brook trout was 81 u inches in length,
15A inches in girth and weighed 6
pounds and ounces. 1t was the larg-
est Eastern Brook caught up to that
time in the Beartooth region. Young
Gebo was accompanied at the time by
Mr.. Allen and they had several other
fish that closely matched the prize
winner.
This trout was given to the Bear
tooth Boosters Club and it was pack
ed in ice and Immediately dispatched
by personal messenger to Yellow
stone National Park and on Sunday
morning, August %, it formed the
principal dish for President and Mrs.
Coolidge breakfast, they being distin-
guished visitors in natures wonder
land at that time.
Mr.. Rowan's fish was also an Eas-
tern Brook and was caught shortly
after the Gebo fish. 1t weighed 6
pounds and II ounces and therefore
now holds the record of being the
largest variety of that trout ever
caught in cur mountains. Mr.. Rowan
has captured fish that have taken first
prizes for several years. In closing
their letter the Little company says
1--WE suppose if there were any
more prizes in this class, Red Lodge
would have got them. These men, anc
also Red Lodge, are to be congratulate
ed in the success they have achieved
in the piscatorial art"

DECIDE AGAINST
CONSOLIDATION OF
SCHOOL DISTRICTS

An election was held in School Dis
tricts No. 7 and No. 81 Monday for
the purpose of deciding as to whether
the two should be consolidated into
one. These two districts are Joliet and

had by such union.
The election resulted in Joliet vot-
ing 10 for the proposition and none
against; Elbow was II for and 27
against. The law states that major
ity vote must be had in each district,
so the consolidation was lost.
