CAR HITS DITCH,
HURLINC DRIVER
THRU WINDSHIELD
VICTIM, A FINNISH ACTOR, RE-
SUMES TRIP LATER, so PLAY
AT BUTTE MAY GO ON.

Hitting a stretch of rough road as
he was turning out to pass a car,
just at the edge of town, Casper Mas
81, of South Platte, struck a culvert
His car veered into an irrigation ditch,
hurting him through the windshield,
which inflicted a cut ON the right side
of the head, cash along his right
thumb, and a laceration of the lobe
of the left ear. The latter wounds re-
quired several stitches to repair.
The accident occurred about 7:30
o'clock Friday evening.
Nassi, who is a member of a troupe
of Finnish players, was on his way to
Butte, where the company was en-
gagged to put on show Sunday night.
The other cars in the party, driven
by Matt Kentala, John Lampi and
John Rautillo, had started ahead of
him. In his endeayor to catch up with
them, he was travelling at a fairly
good pace. A passing driver brought
the injured man to town, where his
wounds were attended to,
Nassi carried six suit cases in his
car which contained most of the cos
tunes of the company. The ditch
water penetrated into all of them.
Imbued with the true actors creed
that the "show must go on Nassi
had the grips brought to town, hired
presser to come to his home to re-
pair the moistened garments, and af-
ter taking a few hours respite to re-
cover from the shock of the accident,
started out for Butte again at 8
o'clock Saturday morning.
The Nassi car was practically
wrecked.

DROPS THROUGH
BRIDGE, BLOCKING ROAD

John Peters and Dominic Marino
Jr, learned last Friday that they
were the last to pass over the Dredge
bridge at Clarks Fork, on the Cody
road, before a tractor and threshing
machine dropped through the floor
ing, causing a wide breach which
made the bridge impossible for sew
eral days.
Peters and Marino had visited the
Forsman ranch early in the afternoon
Thursday On leaving, Forsman got
into his can to follow along with them
for part of the trip back. Tagging
a little behind, tractor and thresh-
ing machine cut in between his car
and Marino's. AS Forsman drew up
to the bridge, he saw the machinery
crash through, just after the Mari
no car had got safely over. Peters
and Marino remained entirely ignor-
ant of the mishap behind them, un-
til Forsman met them again the next
day.
For several days after the accident,
the damaged bridge blocked traffic
over the Cody road. No detour signs
were posted, leaving it to the chance
driver to find the bridge blocked, and
then to retrace his course some four
miles to find another way around.

Bonfire Sets Grass
Ablaze at Willy Home

Burning literature, in the literal
and not figuartive sense, caused the
fire truck and volunteers to speed to
the Willy home on Adams street
about ten o'clock Saturday morning,
to extinguish threatening flames
which were sweeping up the hill in
back of the garage, fed by Highly in
flammable dry grass that covered the
lot.
Miss Lena Willy had been burning
some old papers and magazines in
back of the garage. The grass near
the pile caught fire. The blaze spread
rapidly, getting beyond her control,
when call was put in for the fire de-
partment. The men put out the fire
with little effort after their arrival.

Protest of Saddle

When Arthur Rintala of the Fox

one of his horses last Wednesday
evening, the animal turned on him,
hoisted his leg to deliver a vicious
kick, which caught Rintala full in the

dressed. What prevented the accident
from having more serious conse-
quences was the fact that the horse
was unshod.

County and State Tax
Levies Show Increase
Over Last Year

Tax levies for the county, school
districts and incorporate towns there
in, were fixed by the board of county
commissioners, meeting in special ses-
sion Monday.
Under the levies fixed for the coun-
ty proper, the total shows an increase
of five mills over last years, raised
from 35,5 to 40.5 mills. The increase
is confined to three departments. The
others remain exactly the same.
Under the new budget law passed
by the last legislature, the various
departments are required to estimate
their needs for the ensuing year, and
fixed, they cannot be exceeded. To
meet the needs of these budgets,
which were drawn with the idea of
providing safe leeway, the general
fund levy was raised from 7 to 9
mills.
Levy for the sinking fund hereto
fore has fallen short of properly
caring for maturing obligations. The
state has notified the county on diff
ferent occasions of the inadequacy of
the fund. To strengthen it, the levy
was increased from 3.5 to 5.5 mills.
The other MILL making up the total
of the five mill increase, was added to
the high school general fund, levy for
which was increased from 5 to 6
mills.
A like increase Of 5 mills was made
by the city of Red Lodge in its sched-
ule of levies submitted to the board,
total of which stands at 20 mills.
Joliet takes on ten mill increase, in
its 1929 total levy of 80 mills.
Complete schedule of levies for
county, state and towns is as follows:
