TRAGEDIES MAR
TOURS IN YELLOW
STONE PARK

If press dispatches are correct com
ing from Yellowstone park there we're
three deaths there last week caused
by accidents at the geysers. and a
cross bruin at Tower Falls. The de-
tails of one death are that George
Brown of Lampassas, Tex, was IA
tally scalded when he fell into one
OF the boiling pools about seven miles
north of Old Faithful. He was rescued
by his two sons who were seriously
burned in getting their father out of
the pool. Mr.. Brown died while being
taken to a hospital at Mammoth.
The other reports, which have not
been corroborated, are of the death
of a boy from scalding near Old
Faithful, and of a woman who had
her throat cut by wicked blow of
bear near the Tower Falls camp.
1t is hoped that the rumor of the
latter two deaths are unfounded.
Every effort is made to suppress news
OF this character in the park, and for
this reason, those who would other
wise scott at idle rumors from I'M
authentic sources, have every reason
to believe some of the stories which
are carried by the tourists out the
several gateways. Much criticism is
given park officials for the policy it
maintains, as it is argued that GER
tain amount Of honest publicity would
40 much toward averting accidents,
especially in regard to bites and blows
from the bear, as it is only when
tourists invite familiarity of the bear
that they are injured. -Cody Enter

oeratic primary in which number of
parsons We're barred from voting be-
cause they refused to subscribe to the
rule requiring allegiance to the ma
tional ticket in order to cast primary
ballot.
The rule which requires primary
voters to pledge allegiance to the ma
tional nominees of the party caused
several score persons in different
parts of the state to be denied the
ballot when they refused to take the
oath. In Saluda county a score,
mostly women, requested either that
they be allowed to vote under a re-
Taxed rule or be allowed to vote as
basis for court test of the party rule.
These requests were denied by election
managers.
Similar refusals occurred in Sumter
and Greenville counties.
One refusal was reported in Column
bia though the major furry in the
capital came when it was discovered
that election managers were inadvert-
emily administering an oath contain
ing clause that had been stricken
out by the state convention of 1928.
The vote was reported as light up

Mr.. King was working for Herbert
father in the blacksmith shop at the
time. 1t was he who went for the doc.
tor when Herbert was born. Mr.. King
ate his meals with the Hoover family
West Branch was at that time a
town of about 400 population. It had
two blacksmith shops. one hotel. a
livery stable, four general stores. and
a restaurant. 1t is located in Cedar
County, where broad Quaker hats and
poke bonnets were worn for almost
generation. Cedar county was on the
western edge of the original Black
Hawk Purchase which was the
nucleus of the State of Iowa. Here
farms bordered rougher land of hill
and ravine.
According to Mr.. King, Hoover was
a respected name in Iowa. The fam.
fly originated in Holland. but has been
represented in the United States for
nearly two centuries. Andrew Hoover

MONTANA OIL CO.
PAYS zoe PER CENT
PER MONTH

The Kalispell-kevin syndicate has
resumed payments of dividends total
ing more than 200 per cent monthly
on the origin ia-sstment in the
kelvin Sunburst Iield.
This company, ormed BY Is invest
ors who each put 500 into the pot,
has paid since its inception dividends
totaling S919.S62.50, giving each orig
inal investor a clean profit Of more
than $4,000 after returning to him
his investment.
In addition, the company has paid
taxes to the government totaling ST.
1900.
The company has never drilled a
well, taking its revenue exclusively
from royalties on acreage which it
leased IN the early days of the field,
then turned over to others for devel-
opment.
Indicative of the fact that its period
of profit is by no means over is the
fact that only 10 wells have been
drilled on the acreage on which it
holds royalty, with approximately 700
proven locations yet to be drilled.
The company was formed in March,
1921, and has among its original unit
holders J. E. Erickson, governor of
Montana. Checks totaling S13,s25
are now being sent out to the

MONTANA INDIAN
HAS LONG LIST OF
s-' ACHIEVEMENTS

Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance of
the blood band of Blackfoot Indians
of Montana is the author of Long
Lance" published and pronounced by
irwin S. Cobb as a valuable contribu
ton to Americana
This book tells of the days when
Long Lance used to drift down from
Alberta into Montana with rowing.
hunting, fighting band of Blackfeet
Chief Long Lance rode after buffalo
before he ever heard English spoken.
But during the last 20 years he had
graduated from two colleges, entered
West Point, won honors as a World
war hero, distinguished himself in
athletics, lectured for the United
States bureau of economics and be-
come not only chief Of his tribe but
unofficially spokesman for all the
Plains Indians.
During boyhood he was trained as a
warrior and looked forward to the
career of a brave. It was a terrific
shock to be packed off to mission
school when his people signed a treaty
and went to live on the reservation
Later he was taken by his people with
a troop of trick riders in Buffalo
Bill show, then he became cowboy
and then went to Carlisle.
At Carlisle he proved to be a nat
ural leader in school affairs, won the
highest scholastic honors and excelled
in athletics, playing on Jim Thorpe's
famous football eleven.
Graduating from Carlisle he went
to st. Johns Military academy at
Manlius where his versatile record at
tracted the attention of President
Wilson, who appointed him to West
Point, the first Indian ever so hon
ored.
But when the war broke out he re-
linquished this appointment, walked
into the recruiting office of an Amer
lean Legion being formed in Calgary,
Alberta, and enrolled as a private in
a battalion about to go abroad, re-
fuslng, when recognized, to wait for
training as an officer.
In France he became shipping and
scouting sergeant, was wounded Sc
verely three times and received the
Groix de Guerre and the Italian war
cross, rising through successive promo
lions to captain of the 50th battalion
of Calgary. When President Wilson
arrived in Paris, after the war. he
recognized Long Lance's ability by as
signing him to secret service and Of
fering him a permanent captaincy
IN the United States army.
Meanwhile Long Lance, weighing
1874 pounds, had won the light-heavy-
weight boxing championship of the
Canadian army and had beaten the
heavyweight champion wrestler of the
United States army who weighed 237
pounds. On his return he worked out
with Jack Dempsey (whom he could
beat in wlestling), and Dempsey de-
clared TO newspaper reporters he could
make the chief light-heavyweight
champion of the world in three
months.
But Long Lance turned down this
and movie offer and went to work
1cr oeveraI years as newspaper re-
