PARTICIPANT TN BEAR
CREEK HOLDUP CAUGHT

Sheriff John Albert drove to Bill
lings Sunday, where he took into
custody Tom Parkins and returned
with him that evening. Parkins is
inc of the men who held up the Reid
Football at Bearcreek ON the night Of
January End and he admits his guilt.
He was arraigned before Justice E.
B. Provinse, Monday morning, on
complaint previous filed against him
by County Attorney E. ?. Conwell,
charging him with robbery and his
bond was fixed at fifteen hundred
dollars. He is still in jail, as he has
tbeen unable to furnish bail. The
Reid poolhall holup was one of the
boldest robberies that has occurred
IN this county in recent years, when
two unmasked men lined up the pro-
prietor and his customers and after
taking what they had, escaped on
horseback. On being notified of the
crime Sheriff John Albert immedi-
ately got on their trail and after
trailing them below Belfry took
charge of their horses, which they
had abandoned when they took to the
hills. He also notified the sheriffs in
the surrounding counties, as we'll as
the railroad authorities to be on the
lookout and thus made their escape
practically impossible. Much credit
is due Sheriff Albert for his success
full efforts in the matter and as the
other robber is known, it is probable
that he also will be in custody within
a short time.

POULTRY SHOW PROVES
TO BE MOST SUCCESSFUL

The sixth annual Carbon County
Poultry Growers association show,
which was held Thursday, Friday and
Saturday of last week III the Masonic
Temple building, was the greatest
success of the entire series given by
the local poultry fanciers.
While some entries were not so
large as in past years, the turkey
department showed wonderful in
crease. Competition was keen in all
other lines, however, and some nigh
ty fine birds were on exhibit. The
attendance was also good this year,
as ideal weather prevailed all through
the show. The admission was free
and hundreds of people, We're on
hand each afternoon and evening.
On Friday evening an address was
given at the court house by judge
Chezem of Helena, the official Of
the show. A splendid talk was made
before large audenice and many
questions were asked and answered.
Following his talk, Jack Bresnahan,
popular manager of the Midland En-
pire fair at Billings, gave few words
in acknowledgment of the splendid
exhibits from Carbon County at the
fair, and extended another appeal for
more exhibits next fall

was to have been given to close the |
entertainment, but the machine was
found to be in bad shape and after

AIR MAIL PROBLEM
is GROUND DELAYS
Slow Delivery Is Cause of
Most of Complaints.

Washington. The majority of com.
plants concerning slow delivery of air
mail concern delays which occur ON
the ground. il is admitted by officials
of the Post-otiiee department. The de-
partment has launched a new effort TO
increase the speed of ground handling
so that the main value of Transporting
mail through the air may not be lost
through this handicap.
The problem of increasing ground
speeds is difficult. according to Earl
WadSworth, superintendent of air mail
service. The most that the depart
ment can do. says Mr. Wadsworth, is
to utilize to the fullest extent the ex-
isting means of transportation. Each
city and the mail airport terminal pre-
sents different difficulties.
Police Speed Deliveries.
Months of experimenting have been
required to determine what is the best
method of bringing New York'S air
mail from the eastern terminal at the
Newark airport into the general post
office at Eighth avenue and Twenty
third street.
In most cities the municipal govern
ment aids delivery by giving trucks
which are delivering the air mail the
right of way and allowing them TO dis
regard the speed limits In other cities
these trucks are accorded the same at
tention in traffic which fire apparatus
receives. Police are notified of the
comis Of the trucks and see that no
traffic instructions bar the way.
Amphibians Used in Chicago.
A special experiment was tried in
Chicago in an effort to speed the de
livery of mail arriving ON the trans.
continental mail planes. Amphibian
plane service was authorized there to
deliver the mail to the city, the am
phibans taking off from the air mail
field and flying to the lake front.
where the mails could be delivered to
trucks which then had only a short
haul to downtown post office stations.
This service must be suspended in the
winter as the amphibians cannot oper-
ate because of the ice in the lake.
Tests have been authorized of air
mail catching devices but the feasibil-
ity of placing them on the top of post
office buildings is not yet determined
because Of the fact that regulations
provide that airplanes must not fly
lower than 500 feet when passing over
cities.
It is possible that regulations might
be changed to allow the mail planes
to use such devices, but even then it
is problematical what the performance
of the planes would be down in the
canyons formed by tall office buildings.
The possibility of the use of pneu-
matte tubes for the transport of air
mail from the airports to the post of
| fees also is under consideration. The
expense of installing tubes over such
long distances is one of the limiting
factors in such plan, according TO
Mr.. Wadsworth.
