new FORD TAKEN;
THIEF IS JAILED

Allen Stewart, who picked UP
Fred Rathert's new Ford from the
street in front of the First State
Bank, is going to have good long
time to consider the folly of try
ing to get away with anything in
broad daylight in Wolf Point He
was caught with the car, later
confessed The lightest sentence
that can be imposed is from one
to two years in the penitentiary
A few minutes to five Monday
afternoon, Mr.. Rathert missed his
car from in front of the bank. He
at first thought some other mem
ber of the bank force had taken
it for a few minutes. Later he saw
his car standing in front of the
Westland Oil station, and it was
not until he saw the car drive east
onto the main highway that he
began to get suspicious. Quick
action was taken. Ed Nichol led
the pursuit and the car was over
taken about two miles east on the
grade where the driver had been
unable to negotiate the abrupt
turn
He was jailed and when arraign-
ed before Judge Gordon Tuesday
morning he pleaded guilty to the
charge of grand larceny. His case
will probably be taken up at the
next law and motion session of
district court The county attor-
ney's office will recommend len
iency on the part of the Judge.
Elmer Styer, who innocently as
sisted the would-be thief to get
the car started, was accorded a
generous amount of kidding on
Tuesday. Stewart, it is said, had
been drinking and was having diff
ficulty in making the car go.
Stewart, who is about 80 years
old, says that his home is in Hell
ena, Ark Recently he has been
employed by A. A. Bolander who
lives north of Brockton.

CHANEY'S NEWEST
A DETECTIVE ROLE

The motion picture has supplied
the latest step in the evolution of
the modern detective story. Per-
haps the most popular form of fic-
tion, the detective romance, which
has gone through a complete form
of evolution just as has poetry or
other form of literature, has now
reached it's ultimate on the screen.
Lon CLANCY, MAN of a Thousand
Faces" presents the ultra modern
detective story on the screen in
his latest Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
vehicle, London After Midnight" :"
In it is injected all the modern
mystery of the scientific detective,
together with a strange setting
and amazing plot in which incur
sions into the Great Beyond, spirit
ism and ghost lore vie with mod
ern science. The new picture,
which comes Thursday and Friday
to the Liberty theatre, is perhaps
the most unusual CLANCY has ever
been seen in
CLANCY in the new picture plays
a Scotland Yard detective, who
employs hypnotism to solve an
amazing plot cloaked behind the
"apparitions, vampires and
ghosts of a haunted" English
manor house.
Tod Browning, author and direc-
tor of the new story, holds the
plot to be the logical develop
ment of the modern detective
story.
The new picture, incidentally
brings to light the strange belief
in the vampires or "un-dead"-
corpses that range for prey at
night, often believed in by peas
ants in Europe even to this day.
settings and DISCUSSES
and strange ghostly illusions
mark the gripping plot.

IN COUNTRY

Wolf Point city schools opened
Monday with an enrolment OF
about $40 and a teaching staff of
twenty-five. The enrolment in
the first grade on the southside
is so large that it has been neces-
sary to divide it into two classes.

Undersheriff Council, has been en-
gagged to teach the second first
class. The gym will be used as
their class room.
An enrolment of 120 has been
reached in the high school, about
half of which is in the Freshman

be increased considerably as there

that they delay their entering no

POINTS TO CITY'S NEED
OF CHILDREN'S GROUNDS
The Editor,
Wolf Point Herald.

This state and country are full
of towns of two kinds-those that
are going ahead and those that
are falling behind A town that is
standing still has started back.
Some of the towns that are going
ahead are not especially blessed
with natural advantages and some
of those falling behind are rich in
suhc attributes. So the difference
is not to be found in this field.
When there is no civic pride, and
the prayer of the citizen is God
bless me and my wife, my son.
John and his wife, us four and no
more, Amen" that town will not
prosper and it's influence will fail.
If we continue to work together
here in Wolf Point as we have in
the past the progress that we have
made in the last few years is but
the foundation for coming achieve
ments which will be worked out.
We need better Fairgrounds for
the children. The public play
ground, whether connected with a
school or not, has become an in
tegral part of the life of modern
Our school play
ground does not provide facilities
for the numerous pupils who are
going there in ever increasing
With the coming of the
the streets can no
longer be used by the children as
a playground. But they will use
the streets if no better accommo-
dation offers itself. How to RENE
dy this situation is the problem
calling for solution. That it will
be solved and quickly goes with
out saying because the residents
of this city have always demon
strated the truth of the maxim
God helps them who help them
selves"

LOCAL ELEVATOR
NOT FOR SALE
POOL HEAD TELLS FARMERS
BUILDING OWNED BY OTHER
ORGANIZATION

P. H. McGurren, a director OF
the Wheat Pool from Minot, was
here last Saturday evening to
meet with members of the wheat
pool The meeting was held in
the room below the bank. Mr..
McGurren was asked number Of
questions relative to the pool
business as it affected the Wolf
Point community, but he was un-
able to give definite replies. He,
however. wired A. J. Scott, sec
retary of the Pool, requesting that
he come to Wolf Point next Satur-
day evening to take up these ques-
tions with the pool members.
In case Mr. Scott was unable to
come Mr.. McGurren promised to
go to Grand Forks himself and Sc
cure the desired information. He
told the local pool members that
he was just as interested as they
in getting to the bottom of the
matter as he was himself farmer
The meeting Saturday evening
was called with a view that some
action might be taken that would
enable the local pool members to
buy the Wheat Pool elevator. Jul
ius Cess had written to George
Duis, president of the pool, asking
that the pool put a price on the
elevator. The reply he received
was to the effect that the pool did
not own the elevator, but that it |
was owned by the Wheatgrowers |
Corporation, and that |
t was not for sale.

THE LIMIT TO TOUGH AND

A fair turnout Of devotees of tn,

There were five events. all in

round matches between clever
Youngsters Connors and Whit

Moran and Gumpy Regan went
four furious rounds with Moran,
the heavier of the two, getting the
best of it.
The semi-finals was between
Bobby Miller, Calgary and Alkali
Pete, Raymond. This was one of
the liveliest battles the fans have
witnessed locally. Pete started
with rush and carried the fight
to his opponent with determin-
alton if not with science. He
swung from all angles and landed
any place he could which was
sometimes dangerously low. In
the second round one of Pete's
haymakers was landed after the
gong sounded and was low be-
sides. Referee Altman of Richey
decided it was not intentional but
gave Bobby five minutes to recOy-
er.
Nip and Tuck
From then on Bobby did some
rushing himself and had Pete
groggy i'm some of the periods.
Plenty of the scarlet was spilled
and each had the other close to
