TEAR GAS BARRACE
DRIVES OUT THREE
MUCH RAIDED LAND OFFICE
EXPERIENCES NEW TYPE
OF THRILLER

1t made the inmates of the
old A. P. Larson land office build
ing weep to leave the old shack
last Friday evening when the
place was raided by Superintend-
ent Eggers' force about seven o.
clock in the evening. H. G. From
bey was in charge in the absence
of his regular bar tenders, and
he and the two customers in the
place neither stayed on the order
of their going nor stopped to emp
ty the contraband into the sewer
after one OF the deputies shot a
few tear gas bombs into the inner
room of the building.
The inner door has been so
we'll barricaded that heretofore
the officers have been able to get
only small quantities Of evidence
in the numerous raids made on
the place But the tear gas was
too much for Frombey and the
others, and the door was immed-
lately opened. The officers got a
jar and pitcher of moon and found
a tub of water in which were
number of bottles of beer and malt.
Frombey was arrested and the
fixtures were chopped to pieces by
the officers. This is the fourth
raid on the place within about a
month. With Supt. Eggers were
Deputies Kirn, Thompson and
Martin Mitchell
Frombey was brought before U.
S. Commissioner O. T. Stennes
and arraigned. It is understood
that he was given a chance to
plead guilty to a peace disturb
ance charge in police court and
pay a fine, but that he preferred
to take his chances on what he
would get at the next term of fed
eral court which is several months
in the future. He is out under $500

BRASS

S. Takahashi, a Japanese, who
has been around Wolf Point for
several months off and on, and
who claims to be an experienced
ju-jitsu wrestler was arrested
about eleven o'clock Friday even.
ing after he had forced his way
into the George Flint home. The
arrest was made by chief Of police
Ed Nichol When the Japanese
was searched he was found to
have on his person pair of
brass knuckles, and the charge
preferred against him was that
of having the knuckles in his pos
session.
When brought before Judge Cor
don on Saturday he freely admit
ed possession of the knuckles but
claimed that he had never used
them, being able to defend him
self by means of ju-jitsu. 1t is
understood that he claimed he had
been drinking on Friday night and
when he went into the Flint house
he thought he was going into the
house of Tom Kurokawa. He Is
believed to be the same man who
was seen prowling around the
Morris Listerud place earlier in
the evening and to have been at
other places. Several women have
been annoyed by being followed
when on the way home from down
town in the evening, and it is
thought that Takahashi is the one
who followed them.
Judge Gordon sentenced the jap
anese to serve six months in the
county Jail, which is not nearly
as severe as the punishment might
have been made for the offense
charged, but in view of the cir
cumstances he was not given the
maximum penalty.

Some Women Judge
Gordon Has Known

One of our exchanges published
story about woman who, while
using a revolver, shot herself
through both legs. Not an easy
thing to do. The one line head
over the story was, Woman Is
Honored". Our good friend Judge
Gordon read the story and
thoughtfully remarked: Il have
known many women in my time
who should have been honored
but were not"
The editor told him he was
callous hearted, sarcastic wretch.
That the head writer was not
seeking to be ironical but seri-
Gus. His thought was, here is a
woman who has refuted the foul
slander that women can't hit
anything.

FARM BOARD GRANTS WHEAT
POOL LOAN OF $2,5OO,OOO
WILL BE PUT OUT ON BASIS
OF FIXED SCHEDULES IN
TWO STATES

Washington, Nov. 8.-The Fed
eral Farm Board today approved
loan of s2,5O0,000 to the North
Dakota Montana Wheat Growers
association of Grand Forks, North
Dakota.
A commodity loan of s500,000
made recently, was increased to
s2,5OO00O, the miximum of a COM
modify loan, to supplant loans
from the intermediate Credit
Bank at st. Paul.
Chairman Legge of the Federal
Farm Board said Thursday in his
opinion anyone selling wheat or
cotton at the present market pric-
es is foolish
The farm board heads state
ment was made when it was call
to his attention that wheat prices
in some exchanges had dropped
below the level set by the board
through it's supplemental loans to
cooperatives for advances to grow
er members.
4 don't think there is any dang
er of wheat prices dropping below
the loan level for any length Of
time the chairman said.
Pool Head Comments
THE S2,500,000 made available
to the North Dakota-Montana
Wheat Pool through the action of
the federal farm board will be
greatly appreciated by our farmer
members who have recently made
many applications for advances on
wheat Geo. E. Duis, president,
said today.
The sum OF s5OO,OO0 was allow
ed the Wheat Pool some time ago
for loans on wheat. Decision by
the farm board that 81 per bushel
was a fair advance for wheat in
North Dakota and SO cents per
bushel in Montana and authoriz-
ing of loans on that basis brought
about an urgent need for more
money to be loaned out.
The Wheat Pool made applca-
ton for S2,0OO,0O0 additional funds
for loaning purposes and today's I
action of the farm board granted
this request

CHEVROLET CONCERNS
BIG USED CAR AUCTION

The used car sale put on here
Saturday by the Northern Chevro-
let company of this city and the
Glasgow Motors proved an un-
qualified success. Nearly all the
9S cars and trucks were sold and
prices were bid up as high as ex-
pected. The Chevrolet companies
used The Wolf Point Herald as
their advertising medium with
posters from the page display
and perhaps the largst assemblage
ever brought to the town bent on
buying one kind of merchandise
was the result. The advertising
expense was only about one per
cent of the receipts. 1t pays to

POPLAR
GIRL ATTACKED
CONSTRUCTION CREW COOK,
ADMITS ACT; "ONLY A
BUM" REPORTS 1T

4 Charles F. Starke, AZ, cook on
the Great Northern work train,
was arrested at Poplar charged
with a statutory offense against a
I 12-year old girl. The crime was
committed Tuesday afternoon be-
tween the hours of two and three.
According to the girls story,
which was straightforward she
was attacked when passing the
car on the way from her home
to the Great Northern depot to
meet the "Skidoo" on which she
expected her mother. She said the
man in the cook car offered her
piece of pie if she would get
into the car, and said that when
she started to run away he grabb-
ed her and pushed her into the
car where the attack was consum-
ated. The girl cried and tried fut-
lily to defend herself.
A man by the name of McDon-
aid who said he was only a bum
but could not stand for such treat
ment of a child, heard the girls
screams and reported the matter
to Deputy Sheriff Ford Monroe,
who notified Supt. Eggers. Coun-
ty attorney Foor went to Poplar
and took statements from several
people.
Has Wife and Sons
Starke was arrested and brought
before Judge Hurry of Glasgow
at law and motion session of
court Thursday He admitted the
charges against him. When asked
if he did not know that the girl
was under IS he said he had not
thought anything about that. He
said he had been drinking, though |
not to such an extent he did not
know what he was doing. Starke |
said he is 47 years old and that
ne has a wife and four sons rang
ng in age from 8 to IA, living
IN a farm near Chester.
Russell Kaine, a waiter, told of
rearing the girl cry and of other
hings which transpired in the
,ar.
Judge Hurry appointed Frank
1atlin attorney for Starke and
he case will probably come up
or hearing at the next law and
notion day before Judge Paul.

GAYETY OF JAZZ
in new film PLAY
JOAN CRAWFORD AND DOUG
FAIRBANKS, JR. IN GREAT
PICTURE

Kaleidoscope settings and the
whirl and swirl of the age of
youth and it's buoyant fol
bles, tinsel and glitter-and under
it all the mighty undercurrent of
the laws of life which no fashion,
mode or cult can change-these
are the dominating elements in
Our Modern Maidens," coming to
the Liberty Theatre Thursday and
Friday.
No better vehicle could have
been found for Joan Crawford's
debut as full-fledged star of the
screen than this drama.
Though it echoes the spirit Of
youth-though it's gay settings
and gorgeous details are replete
with the spirit of modern young
sters seeking fun and pleasure
there is a far deeper and more
dramatic note in the play. It's
drama rests on the immutable
laws of life-which none can defy
and "get away with it."
Miss Crawford plays a modern
girl, raised in luxury and the spirit
of jazz, who gets the idea that one
can bargain with the devil and
cheat him out of his due.
1t is all staged with gorgeous
settings and lavish spectacle. The
great wedding scene, the party in

Among the numerous attachments
which formed the wind-up OF

court at Great Falls, "the soft

career which the old A. P. Larson

ed since it was purchased last
spring by H. G. Fromby and Earl
Stringer. During the last six
months it has been raided by fed
eral and agency officials nearly a
dozen times. AS result of these
raids Earl Stringer and Ray Bah

BENEFIT BALL IDEA GROWS
AND GROWS; FOR STATION KICK
JUST EVERYBODY KICKS IN
WITH SIS OR MORE THE
w. p. WAY

With Bill Rogers and Charley
Council at the head, one of the
biggest and finest pieces of co.
operative work ever put over in
this town and district is under
way this week 1t is a monster
benefit ball for KGCX, Westland
radio station, located in the West
land building, Wolf Point.
Pay in Tickets
The novel plan was conceived
by Mr.. Rogers and literally every
body has fallen in line and are
doing their level best to help the
committee, w. A. Rogers and
Charley Council, to make it the
biggest success of it's kind ever
achieved locally. The big idea is
to turn every dollar contributed
to the cause into the benefit
fund. This is done by paying for
everything, hall, music and all
other essentials with dance tick
cts. Concerns and individuals
signed up for SIS each and some
of them for larger sums, and are
given whatever number of tickets
are wanted, not exceeding the
number of dollars they contribute.
$500 in Wolf Point
Wednesday and Thursday Bill
and Charley gathered in over $500
in Wolf Point. Thursday they
went to Poplar and received the
most open-handed and generous
treatment possible The Poplar
Legion had planned a dance for
Thanksgiving night, the same date
as the benefit dance, but gener-
ously offered to change their
night to Thanksgiving eve. The
Poplar Harmonizers agreed to fur
nish the music and take their pay
in tickets. Bill and Charley, not
to be outdone, got busy and sold
nearly all the tickets for them,
before leaving town.
Expect $500
The committee will visit other
towns both east and west of here
and expect to bring the total to
$500 or $1,000.
1t is confidently expected that
rural radio owners and others
who enjoy KGCX service, when
they learn of this enterprise, will
many of them purchase a ticket
TO the benefit ball. All such per-
sons should see Council or Rog-
ers or send their dollar by mail
and receive ticket.
Must Be Maintained
1t should be remembered by all
that this section is extremely for
tunate to have a broadcasting sta
tion of the power and efficiency
Of KICK, that it is a non-profit
institution that requires not only
much money but lot of time and
work to maintain, and keep the
on the air. There are
a number of cities, both large and
small that would be very glad to
nave this station, but we want to
keep it right where it is. So let
is join in the spirit of the slogan
If this cooperative enterprise
Come on, folks. let's put this

 In the first month Of the present year only 17 persons were arrested in the state on prohibition charges, II by federal agents and three by state agents assisted by federal agents, as compared with o23 ar rested in the same month last year.
 The number of illicit distllcrics seized sank from three in 1928 to two in 1929; the number of illicit stills from six to two: but the num- Der of gallons of mash confiscated rose from 50 to 200, the number of gallons Of spirits from l26 to 130, of malt liquor from 260 to 995. while six gallons of wine were confiscated in January, 1923, and five in January. 1929
