To DEATH

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. %
G.N.s. s.l.--While the battered body of
Robert Chapman, youthful leading
man OF the Green Street Theater,
lay in the morgue. police today were
attempting to capture two men who
are alleged to have thrown him
from the apartment window of Allen
Hoffman, playwright. ~
Hoffman told police two men
came sto his apartment and de.
manded liquor. When refused, he
said they attacked him and knocked
him unconscious He believes they
threw Chapman from the sixth story
tof the apartment into the light well.
Miss Elaine Worth, star of the
Green Street Theater, became fys-
terical when she viewed Chapman's
body at the morgue. She was said
to have been the girl friend of
Gerri Ferri. gang leader. who was
found murdered in his apartment
last October. =,
Attended Party
In recountfng his story to Off.
GERS, Hoffman said he and Chap
man had gone to the apartment of
Miss Florence Bell, one of the cast
at the Green Street theater.. and
remained there for several hours
after the performanc of the play
in which Chapman appeared.
There, Hoffman said. he met
Edessa Fowler, an actress; Ken.
meth Du Plan. an actor. and VIII.
liam Heattersan. sailor stationed
on the u. S. s. Mexico.
When the party broke up. Hoff.
man said he and Chapman took
Miss Fowler to her home and then
went directly to his apartment.
Chapman's body was found by a
Filipino janitor, who told officers
he met Hoffman as he was going
upstairs to notify the landlord of
the tragedy. He, asserted Hoffman
said:

intruders thought his apartment
was a bootlegger's and that they
started the fight when they were
refused liquor. He had lived II the
apartment only week. although
he had occupied another apartment

Mr.. and Mrs. j. j. Baker OF

Of Mr.. Nyquist at Cokato and for
fishing in Minnesota lakes. some
thing that was greatly enjoyed,
especially by Mr.. Baker. Mr..
Baker drove a new truck home
form st. Paul.
While fishing from a boat on
Lake Francis Mr.. Baker had a
rather thrilling experience. On
June 10th. while far out on the
lake, deeply ~engrossed in Turing
the fish to his hook, he noticed a
loud splash and soon several
more. He said to himself: THE

plunks in the water followed and
then Mr.. Baker received a sharp
blow on his back. He could not
believe that that was a fish, and
he was much mystified until a
large chunk of ice landed in his
boat and made him realize that
he was in a hail storm. He says
it beat anything he ever saw in
the way of hail. The chunks were
irregular and of great size. They
fell straight down and were not
accompanied by rain. However,
they were scattering and he reach
ed shore without being injured.
The hail storm was merely a
manifestation on the edge of what
was a terrific and destructive
storm or series of storms that hit
that day. Two people
were killed in the vicinity of Co
katO and many buildings and
were blown or torn to pieces.

WHEAT EXPERTS SAY:

Don't start the combine till the
wheat is ready to harvest.
Don't get into the field when
the dew is on or shortly after a

"Store your wheat in dry, well
ventilated bins. Wheat dumped
on the ground is graded down by
tarnish, ground odor, bleaching,
foreign matter and mustiness.
"By all means do not mix a load
of damp wheat with dry wheat.
If you do the whole binfull will
be damaged"
Agricultural colleges in many
states are conducting experiments
this year in methods of storage on
the farm. Special attention is be-
ing given to methods of veRtilat-
ing the bins so slightly damp

Confined from first pagel
under date of May %, 1929, which
relates to certain complaints filed
by Moses White Horse regarding
a celebration to be held on the
rodeo grounds at Wolf Point,
which Moses states is being done
without the consent of the Fort
Peck Indians.
For the information of the office.
| desire to say that there is locat-
ed on the Fort Peck sub-agency
reserve at Wolf Point the build
ing and grounds used for rodeo
purposes. The sub-agency reserve
at the present time is covered by
a grazing permit in favor of one
Ray Mitchell which permit was
regularly approved by the office.
1t has been customary for the CITY
of Wolf Point to hold a rodeo cele-
bration each year during the
month of July and occupy these
grounds and buildings for that
purpose. In fact, the buildings be-
long to the city of Wolf Point.
In fairness to the Indians they
have been given free admission
each year to all exercises held on
the grounds; they have been en-
ployed by the rodeo committee in
every capacity in which they
would work, and the hay used for
rodeo stock has always been pur-
chased from the Indians if pos
sible.
note that Wolf Point has been
advertising their rodeo celebration
to be held during the month of
July for home time past. This
matter has not been called TO my
by the rodeo committee.
June 8 the mayor of the city
Of Wolf Point and the chairman
OF the Board of County Commits
5ioners came to sec me and stated
they would desire the use of
the rodeo grounds and that they
would make the same arrange
ments which have been made
heretofore.
Now, am not certain that these
officials r representing the rodeo
committee, but they made the re-
Iuest. | therefore respectfully re-
commend that the city of Wolf
Point be allowed to use the rodeo
for their celebration this
ear under the same terms and
conditions which have been grant
ID to them during the past two
ears, namely, that during their ,
hree-day celebration that all In
are given whatever employ
1ent there is available which they :
7ill accept; that they are admitted :
7ithout admission fee, and that .
ay for the rodeo stock be pur- !,
hased from Indians if possible.
