B. K. WHEELER AT
RICHLAND, JULY 9

B. K. Wheeler, Montana's jun
ior senator, will be the principa
speaker at Richards annual cele
bration next Monday, July
Other events of the day will in
clude a rodeo and a ball game be
tween Scobey and Opheim. The
Scobey high school band and the
Opheim band will furnish music
during the day.
Richland is in Daniels county
35 miles west of Scobey, and it is
expected that people from a wide
radius will attend the celebration
to hear what Senator Wheeler has
to say on the issues of the day
He is an eloquent speaker. In a
recent talk at Great Falls, in
words that typified his indepen-
dence of thought and action, he
summed up his attitude toward
graft and corruption as follows:
81 am not asking you to vote for
me. Vote for what is the best in
terest of your own fireside. | am
going to continue to do what
have done and l have no apology
to make to anyone. | am not go
ing to bend my knees to suit the
policies of anyone. No one can
tell me what to do.
"Unless there is a moral awaken
ing among the people to fight for
what is right, this country is 60
ing the same way as other great
civilizations have gone I don't
care whether it is my party or
some other party, if it's crooked,
I'm against it."
At this same meeting VIM. B.
Wilson, secretary of labor under
President Wilson, appeared on the
platform with Senator Wheeler
and paid him the following tri-
butte:
"Our country has produced
many brilliant men sitting in the
senate, but I know of no senator
who has better grasp on the
needs of the great masses no mat
ter of what walk of life, or who
has given more intelligent and
service, who has made
a better record in single term in
he United States senate than Bur
ION K Wheeler.
Senator Wheeler is not against
big business or little business" he
said, "only crooked business, and
wherever crooked business has
shown it's head, there Senator
Wheeler has been to fight it"

ed by weather, reduced the at
tendance of visitors at the Upper
Missouri Golf tournament held at
Williston last Sunday. Eight or
ten of the local club had origin
ally intended to go but the bunch
ing of local events, circus, Fourth,
etc. kept all but four at home.

man, ]. r. Burgess and R. j..
White attended for one day and
enjoyed it greatly. The local
golfers always like to go to Will
liston
Chapman and Burgess made
scores that qualified them for the
championship flight. Rathert was
tied with two others for place in
the champ squad but lost in the
draw. "Chappie" drew the player
who proved later to be the runner
up of the tournament and lost his
first match game by one hole.
"Doc" won his first game and
dropped his second. Bob and
Fred played through in the conso-
lations.
Rev. Stoffel of Williston won
first place and Ben Kruckeberg of

THE POWER OF GASOLINE, ETC.
DEMONSTRATED IN AUTO CRASH
NIGHT COLLISION ON ROAD
AT EDGE OF WOLF PIT,
NO FATALITIES

Several people were severely
injured when three automobiles
smashed as the result of a spec
tacular collision on the Roosevelt
highway about a quarter of mile
west of the city limits Wednes-
day night at around eleven o'clock
Mr.. and Mrs Martin Paulson, ac-
companied by their two children
and two other children were re-
turning from the Glasgow rodeo
to their home at Poplar. AS they
approached Wolf Point a car
owned and driven by Ben Jansen,
proprietor of local shoe repair
shop, came from the east.
Out of Control
According to the word of the
Paulsons, and others, Jansen was
driving at high speed and was
having poor success in controlling
his car, which, it is said, was
weaving from one side of the high
way to the other. Mr.. PaulsOn,
as a measure of safety, steered
his car to the right side of the
road and slowed down to a very
low speed. When only a few feet
in front of them, the Jansen car
turned toward the Ford, driven by
Paulson, and the left side of the
front of the Jansen car struck
the right side of Paulson's car
with great force. The Ford was
turned partly sidewise and forced
back into the ditch, but remained
upright. Jansen's car, a new
Olds coach, turned almost directly
across the highway and remained
on it's wheels.
Children Thrown Out
Mrs. Paulson was thrown into
the windshield and severely cut
about the throat, chin and nose.
Flying glass made numerous
wounds on her face. In addition
she was severely bruised and
wrenched. Mr. Paulson received
minor cuts and bruises. Two of
the four children in the rear seat
were thrown out on the gravel, /
and severely scratched, but none
were badly injured. That no one
was killed is marvellous.
The front part of the Olds was
well spattered with blood, but jan
sen, aside from cuts, is believed |
to be not greatly injured. A
small boy riding with Jansen, said
to be one of the Ren boys, was
severely bruised and cut on his
face and nose. The Olds car was
badly wrecked, receiving more
damage than the Ford. Several
minutes after the collision occur
red. small car said to be carry
ing Richard Jacobson and Arthur
Schwan of the Volt country, came
upon the wreck at rather high
speed and ran into the rear OF
the wrecked Olds. This accident
was witnessed by number of
people that had gathered at the
scene of the first accident.
In the afternoon Mr.. and Mrs.
Paulson and children found a
means of continuing on their way
% Poplar, after having their car
taken to a local garage. The
Jansen car was brought in and
aiken to the Camrud garage.
Two of the Paulson children
lad been playing in the Midget =,
oand of Poplar at Glasgow.

Kellogg's Remark
Is MiscOnstrued
By United Press Leascd Wire

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-An apI
parent misinterpretation of a press
conference remark by Secretary OF
State Kellogg today caused disseml
ination of a report that he had am
nourced he would resign next
March 4, but state department Off
cials later corrected this with the
statement that no such announce
mcnt was made.
Kellogg, together with other presi-
Dental appOintees, normally wlil
offer his resignation as matter of
form on MARCEL 4, even if the Re
publicans are continued in office.
1t was explained, however, that
Kellogg 5 remark today was made in
connection with the resignation he
submitted during change of ad
ministrations while he was ambassa
dor to London. On that occasion, il
was said, Kellogg expected his resig
nation to be accepted.
