Sinking Hill Alarms l Montana Residents

GREAT FALLS, Mont, July IT. Sliding of a hill above the Judith river, near Danvers in central Mon- tana, caused about 75 acres of bench land to sink more than 20 feet.
 Large crevasses, like those seen in glaciers, were formed in the earth as a result of the movement, Geologists believe the movement is not complete, and that if the hill continues toward the river a new channel may be formed.
 While such slides are more or less common in the Rocky noun tains, few have occurred in places so accessible to inspection. A party of geologists flew over the sinking hill and took pictures of the crater formed by the slide.

FILLS
POSITIONS BY VOTE

KINGSTON, Mass, April 18.-[P
With all due solemnity the little
town OF Kingston, Mass, elected a
pound keeper and a field driver at
its annual March town meeting, al
though the town has not had a
pound for so years.
The duties of the field driver, in
former times. was to round 10 stray
animals and take them to the
pound and otherwise see that the
creatures did no cause damage.
Times have changed so that stray
cows, pigs and horses no longer are
a cause for concern to Kingstonians.
Even old-timers have forgotten where
the pound was situated. But the
election was necessary to comply with
the law.
The town likewise chose two
fence viewers, old-time officials
whose duty it was to supervise the
erection and maintenance of fences
and boundaries. They are seldom
called upon to act now.
