Did you ever hear of the Scotch
man who always insisted on pay
ing half price for his movie tiv-
-kets because he was blind in one
eye?
No, but that reminds me Of the
difference between a Scotchman,
a Jew, an Irishman and an Amer
lean.
What's that?
A Scotchman gets little and
spends little; Jew gets a lot and
spends little; and Irishman gets
little and spends lot; and Ameri-
can gets a lot and spends a lot.

We were very proud of the eggs

But a man ran over Biddy on the

And of our darling Biddy life

WILL CONFER ON
FARM SUBJECTS

! Agricultural conferences to dis
cuss problems affecting the earn
ing capacity of Roosevelt county
farms will be held November 4,
5 and II at Wolf Point, Bainville
and Culbertson. The meetings No
vember 4 at Wolf Point and No
vember at Bainville will be linn
tied to crop production subjects
while the meeting November II at
Culbertson will consider livestock
and dairy problems.
Conferences held in the past
have added greatly to the fund
of local information on crop and
livestock production and have
made it possible to recommend
definitely certain cropping meth
DDS and livestock management
practices. Following the conferen-
ces recommendation based on the
experiences of leading farmers,
community leaders and delegates
who attend the meeting will be
published and will be considered
at community meetings. Such rec
concentrations have been the
means of eliminating the trial and
error methods of determining
farm practices in many instances
in the past The coming confer
ences will, no doubt, add to the
fund of available information.
The first conference of this ma
.uce was held at Bainville in 1927
With $50 farmers from northeast
srn Montana attending. County
;rop and livestock conferences
we're held in Poplar and Bainville

lication under local conditions.

ROUNDUP FOREMAN GUILTY
FINED $lOO BY THE COURT
JUDGMENT AND OPINION OF
JUSTICE GERINGER IN
CELEBRATED CASE

Guilty of the crime charged in
the complaint with punishment
fixed at a fine of S10O; upon fail
ure to pay the fine imprisonment
in the county Jail one day for each
S2 of the fine.
Such is the judgment of Judge
H. d. Geringer in the famous
horse roundup" case heard in
justice court October s. The State
prosecuted George Payne on the
charge of driving horses from
their accustomed range County
Attorney Foor appeared for the
State in behalf of the complain
ing farmers. j. K Bramble ap-
peared for Payne Payne was fore
man or boss of the riders in the
employ of the Butte Packing COM
pany. Having gained permission
from Charles Eggers, agency SUI
perintendent, to roundup the hor-
ses of the packing company on
the Ft. Peck reservation, and such
Indian horses as the Indians wish
ed to sell, the riders swept across
the reservation collecting what
was estimated at 1000 or more
head of horses, including hundreds
of horses belonging to farmers To-
Gated on the reservation. Many
work teams were in the drove
that was taken to Oswego, one of
the company's shipping points.
Much Testimony Given
Before crowded court room
witnesses gave voluminous testi-
mony for both sides. Many instan-
ces were described of where and
how farm horses wre driven away.
Facts bearing on the leaseing of
Indian land, open range and re-
stricted land were brought out.
The defense claimed that in some
instances the horses taken were
on restricted land.
Supt Eggers stated that he had
given no authority for a general
roundup, or for collecting roundup
or trespass fees, although Deputy
Green of the agency force went
with the horse drivers. No one
would admit responsibility for the
roundup or its consequences.
1t was not the first time the res
arvation farmers have suffered
loss and Inconvenience from
similar source and the case was
looked upon as test of whether
or not such work can continue un-
touched by the law.
