New Mooney Evidence

ChicagO-(FP)-RumOrs current
n Chicago for over a year that
German-American editor would con-
fess to participation in the San
Francisco preparedness day explO-
sion, for which Tom Mooney and
Warren X. Billings were framed,
simmered down this week to rather
slender reality. Pres. John Fitz-
patrick of the Chicago Federation
of Labor made public the statement
of a recently deceased western
sports writer of German extraction
who had been told by his wife, also
deceased, that she was warned by
German-American neighbOrs not to
watch the parade because something
terrible would happen. The neigh
bors were. described as German
agents.
There remains no doubt, however
that Mooney and Billings were
framed by California capitalist re-
action.

FROID TO SOON HAVE
FLAG DECORATIONS

Froid-Twenty-two beautiful Amer
lean flags will adorn each side of
main street on special occasions thru
out the year. The flags will be 4xo
with IL foot pole and inch socket.
These flags and equipment have been
purchased by practically every bust
ness place in town and the City Coun-
Gil has purchased a number for use
of the city. In doing this Froid is
simply keeping pace with most of the
towns in northeastern Montana.
The question of decorating the lit
tie city of Froid on such days as Me-
mortal Day, Flag Day, Fourth of July
and especially on the 22nd of next
month when Froid is to entertain hun
dreds of visitors who are to come by
airplane from Detroit, Mich, has been
dreamed of but nothing attempted
along this line. Now we are to see
ourselves as we have seen others and
we are glad that our citizens are in
keeping with the spirit of yesterday
today and tomorrow.
The flags are expected to arrive il
about two weeks.

UNKNOWN PARTIES
STEAL R. R. ENGINE
Beat Caretaker Into UncOnsclOusness
At Flaxville and Steal Great
Northern Freight Engine for Ride
to ScObey.

Many reports are heard of auto
mobiles being stolen every day, but
it was left to a group OF men near
Flaxville to put the finishing touches
to banditry when they stole freight
engine for a proposed ride TO Scooey
last Friday evening.
The freight train had laid up at
Flaxville for the night because of the
time limit and the engine had been
turned over to the caretaker for the
night to keep fired up and to see that
nothing was molested and the crew
retired for their rest about nine o.
clock.
At midnight several men accosted
the caretaker of the engine and gruf-
fly informed him to get the engine
under full head of steam and take
them to Scobey. This, the engine
tender refused to do, whereupon they
beat him into Inconsistencies and
took the engine themselves. Their
attempt to run the engine, however
proved to be failure as they only
were able to get a distance of foul
or five miles when the engine appar
emily refused to perform, so they
abandoned the locomotive and disap
peared.
In due time the engine was missed
by the crew and a search disclosed
the caretaker lying along the track il
an unconscious condition and the en-
CINE down the track apparently un
damaged. The unconscious man wa
revived but was unable to tell who tn
men were who attacked him and stol
the locomotive.

pitched all the time, not trying to
walk even Happy" Felsch, whom
he caused to pop up high ones for the
fielders until the eighth when he
smacked the ball for three-bagger.
The game was well attended anC
the fans enjoyed the exhibition, ap-
preciating the fact that it would be
hard to find the great National game
played better anywhere.

tic ocean in an airplane, and the two
men who aided her in the crossing,
Monday night sought well-earned re-
pose in this little Welsh town. Mon
day, shortly after noon, Miss Amelia
Earhart of Boston with Wilmer Stultz
the pilot and Louis Gordon, landed
their tri-motored monoplane, Friend
ship, in BURY Port estuary, off this
port, completing in 20 hours and AZ
minutes the flight from Trepassy Bay,
Newfoundland.
Tuesday they will fly the Friendship
to Southampton, which, as an alterna-
tive to Valencia Bay, Ireland, they
had set as tn egoal of their trans
oceanic flight. Southampton they
missed by flying about 100 miles too
far northwest.

preaching from the southwest like a
great black bird AS it drew nearer
the drone of its three powerful en-
gines became audible but it was not
until the big ship flew low over Liam
ely railway station (four miles from
BURY POrt) that it dawned on the
curious crowd that this was the
Friendship and that aboard it was the
first woman to cross the Atlantic in
an airplane.
Town Is Excited
The Stars and Stripes painted on
the fuselage and the printed letters OF
its name could be seen. Once BURY
Port had seen this insignia it was a
town transported with excitement.
After circling gracefully over the
town the plane continued at low al
titude along the river to the coast anC
there narrowly escaped disaster wheT
it passed only few yards to the side
of the BURY Port copper works chin
ney. Observers held their breath, but
the plane slipped by to make a grace
full landing a few minutes later in the
estuary. The tide was almost deaC
low when the plane SKINNED the wa
ter, taxing up to a buoy where thu
filters made fast while launches anC
boats from the shore scurried out t.

The great voyage from America hal
ended; their dreams were realized, an,
the plane and its occupants were OF
land once more.
The entire population of this littl
town soon had rushed to greet tn
filters and the entire district abou
here soon was in a ferment of excite
ment. Not in years had the vicinit
been so awakened.
