Oitdneu ABOUT the TNelKnDOTHOOu
Townsend, July 17.-The early crop
Of tomatoes is about ready for ship
ment and the growers are planning to
sell their output to the first highest
bidder as several buyers have promis-
ed to come to this section from the
city markets The growers fear that
the market price will be but one-half
of last years quotations owing to the
prediction made by some Of the big
dealers in the cities a few days ago.
Lateness of the local crop and south
ern competition have combined to un-
dermine prices for the early Delaware
tomatoes. Buyers on Monday bid
from $3.50 to 1928 a crate. These
prices compare with those Of from S5
to Sc crate paid year ago. Pros
poets are verw promising for a late
crop of tomatoes used in the can hous-
es. A few canneries have contracted
for god supply, but the most Of the
canning firms have decided to await
the prices offered by the open market
The farmers, on the other hand, decid-
ed to have only small patches IN many
instances and claim they will be pre-
pared to supply either the canneries or
the open market Should there be a
glut in the early tomato market, some
Of the canneries will open to pack the
surplus product.
Farmers Of this section have about
finished cutting their wheat crop and
within the next ten days will be busy
threshing and storing or shipping the
grain. From present indications the
crop is one Of the largest for many
years. There seems to be an abun.

BOWERY DANCE
AND MELODIANS
ATTRACT MANY

Last Saturday the Italian Girls
Victory club gave a Bowery dance at
the Labor Temple and although there
wasn't the usual extra big crowd,
there was large company present to
enjoy themselves nevertheless, and
did they! Who couldn't enjoy them
selves with the superior and ever
popular music of the Montana Melo-
dams filling the hall and putting pep
into the feet Of the dancers.
A prize of a $3.50 gold piece was
given to the fella and gal with the
best get-up characteristic of the
bowery. Joe Enrico won the prize
for the fellas, while another gold piece
was awarded to Katherine Jewett for
being the toughest lookin' gal. The
judges were D. w. Columbus, John
Wickstrom Fritz Schmidt and Gale
Nelson. When the time for judging
came, the dancers in costume only
were requested to dance SO as to let
the judges choose the most appropri-
ately dressed couples, and then the
winners we're acclaimed by popular
applause. Perhaps it would not be
amiss to state that although some Of
the individuals had prize winning cos
tunes, they were dressed for mas
querade, and as such they could not
be awarded prizes as the occasion was
a Bowery dance.
Most of the folks attending, how
ever, were not in costume at all, and
it would have been much more fun II
they had been so. There were almost
as many out-of -towners as there
were local folks present

ROAD ACROSS
RANCH RESISTED
BY OWNERS

Under a decision of the United
States supreme court controversy of
some two years duration was closed a
short time ago and a proposed road
across the Maurice Powers and Ann
Powers estate was ordered built, in
order that Joe Kompish could gain
access to his ranch. A board of APP
praisers had set $500 as a fair price
for the strip of land after the owners
had refused to give right-of-way
across the property.
Thursday morning Sheriff John AL
bert and two deputies, S. T. Mccall
and Floyd Gebo accompanied County
Surveyor Swan out to the property
and in order to follow out the instruc-
tions Of a court decree demanding that
Maurice Powers and his sons, Frances
and John, surrender the road site and
allow it to be surveyed.

the three ranchers were
placed under arrest and placed under
$500 bonds in each case.

Senator George w. Norris of Ne

whose shoulders more than any other
single man has fallen the mantle of
the La Toilette progressive leadership
in the Senate, makes waterpower the
main issue in the present political
campaign. He does not state that
he is for the election of Smith or for

say that the reelection of seven pro-

ARRESTED AS "KEY MAN"
Italian Believed Head of Chicago Kid
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Ring

CHICAGO, September "a R).-Pas-
ouale Capotosto has been arrested as
the "key man. to the kidnaping-extor-
ton ring which police have uncovered
through their investigation in the Billy
Ranieri abduction case.
Police said CapotoSto had been iden-
titled by four prominent contractors as
a member of an organization which had
tried to extort money from them. Ex-
tortion plots have been directed toward
more than 200 Italians during the past
six months, police said with at least
40 of that number paying the tribute
demanded.
+ Capotosto, according to the police be-
lief, penned 225 letters demanding
money under threats of death or kid
naping. CapoJosto and Angelo Petitti,
now under kidnapping charges in the
Ranieri case, are friends, having come
from the same town in Italy, police
said.
A new development in the extortion
ring investigation was the discovery
that fortune tellers, "seers" and clair
voyantS" had part in the plot. Per-
sons seeking to gain the return OF some
member of their family who had been
abducted were advised by some friend
to consult fortune teller. The ''seer"
would then give the victim of the ex-
tortionists advice on how to gain the
release of his relative, how much to
pay and where to pay it.

MORROW BELIEVED
OBJECT Of BANDITS
Ambassador Arrives in Town
Just After Brigands
Are Routed.
BY the Associated Press.


MEXICO CITY, September 24.-El
Universal today expressed the belief
that an attack staged by IS bandits
on the village of Huitzilac, midway
between Mexico City and Cuernavaca,
was directed against Dwight w. Nor
row, American Ambassador.
MIR. Morrow, who was spending the
week end at his new residence, in
Cuernavaca, arrived in Huitzilac after
the bandits had been driven off and
proceeded to Mexico City, arriving
there safely.
The newspaper asserted that some
one in Cuernavaca had warned the
brigands by telephone of Mr.. Morrow's
departure by automobile and the coup
failed because the outlaws failed to
take Huitzilac before he arrived.
The bandits in marching toward
Huitzilac did not attempt to hold up
any passing automobiles, apparently
being bent on seizing the town. The
men were disguised in the uniforms OF
federal soldiers and were thought to
have intended to take the village gar
rison by surprise. The soldiers, how
ever, opened fire upon the bandits
when they failed to recognize them.
and the outlaws fed to the mountains
after a brisk encounter.
