CARBON TAKES HARDIN
INTO CAMP BY 25 TO 10

In the last home game of the
season the Carbon County high school
basketball team triumphed over the
visiting team from Hardin. The boys
from Big Horn county have always
been good drawing cards and last
Saturday night was no exception, ahd
the fans were treated to an interest
ing game throughout.
The scoring throughout the entire
game was very close. Hardin scored
the first three points which compelled
Carbon to fight an uphill battle for
a while, but the score at the half
ended in II to Il tic. Hannula and
Martin doing most of the scoring for
Carbon. Bailey who substituted for
Geranaale in this game E,iased GOOD
floor game and strengthened the de.
fense.
The second half saw Carbon grad
ually increasing their lead with every
man on the Carbon team playing good
basketball. The game ended with
the final score of 25 to 10. Owens,
Hardin's star forward, failed to hit
his stride Saturday as Mattila and
Blazina were watching him quite
close. Riggs, the tall center of the
Hardin team did most of his teams
scoring and his shots were made from
mid-floor.

some time and was inherited by the
present county attorney along with a
lot of other matters. The State VS..
Lubeca Bonovich is the outcome of an
alteration which happe1bd in the
Carbon County court room several
years ago. Bad blood between the de-
fendant caused battle-royal in the
court room, it taking two men to sep
arate the defendant and Zlata Rogan-
ovich, who were tightly embraced in
each others arms, both on the floor
and the right index finger of one re-
posing in the pearly cavity of the
other. 1t was not alleged that the lady
bit the others finger off, but blood
poisoning developing, it was amputa-
ted. Dramatically holding the mutila-
ted hand aloft, the victim showed the
loss of the digit.
John G. Skinner represented the de-
fense, while E. P. Conwell and H. A..
Simmons were acting in the interest
of the State. After being out several
hours the jury returned a verdict ag-
ainst the claims Of the State. Mary
Zaputil proved one of the best inter
prefers ever seen in the local court
room, giving rapid answers to the
questions and answers which she
translated for both sides of the case.
The case of the State VS.. 3. M.
Phelps and William Shirren was clos
ed as far as the State is concerned
Friday evening when the jury reported
through the foreman, r. f. Simpson,
stating the defendants were not gull
ty. This case attracted great attention
as it involved large drove of steers
belonging to the Dana Cattle company
of Big Horn county. 1t was alleged
the defendants were driving these an
imals away from the home range.
The defense, however, put forth
strong case showing their innocense
and proved to the satisfaction Of the
court that they were out the day in
question looking for three female
dudes from Billings, who had become
lost in the section. Thinking the posse
following the two defendants and the
wife of Phelps, were the dudes in ques-
ton, they hid in the timber at either
side of the trail with the purpose of
having a joke on them. The cattle in
question were trailing down the road
and they showed they were not fol-
lowing them except with the intention
of riding through the herd.

statesmen HAVE
A NARROW ESCAPE

Two statesmen travelling for the
Kinds Motor Supply company of Bill
lings had a terrible time Tuesday
night in trying to drive from Robers F..
to Red Lodge. The two men, Bob
Braek and Jack Morgan, experienced
no trouble in driving their Chevrolet
coupe to Roberts Tuesday and so
started out to drive to Red Lodge as
they were told the road was cleared
of snow.
The wind came up and the boys
encountered many cars which we're
floundering around in the drifting
snow. Finally reaching a point about
five miles north of town it was found
that a team was being employed in
helping the stalled cars, but the poor
horses had played out and the driver
went home.
Brack and Morgan had gotten that
far under their own power and so
did not worry. Night came on while
they backed and bucked the drifts
and after their chains had become
worn out they still struggled on un-
til flat tires were encountered The
struggle was continued until Morgan
was found to be unconscious by his
companion The car III bucking the
huge drifts had had its exhaust pipe
buried i'll the fine snow and gas fill
ling the interior had overcome the
halfrfrozen and exhausted man.
Brack, being the smaller of the
two and a hard time in rescuing
his companion. 1t was useless to az
tempt doing any more to get the stall
led car out. His companion was un-
conscious and SO he started dragging
and pulling the overcome man around
in the snow, slapping and rubbing him
in order to bring him to. 1t was over
half mile to the Maryott home and
he started out with the stricken COM
panion. The snow was up to their
waists in places and before they
reached shelter their hands, faces and
feet were badly frost-bitten.
They stayed at the J, l.. Maryott
home that night and the next day they
came into town and made arrange
mcnts to get the car brought in to
town. Last night they were not the
worse for the experience and the ter
rible experience is now but a memory.
But neither of the young men care to
enact the trip over.

MAN ON
DUTY ON N. ?. TRAINS

A mechanical man, housed IN the
cupola of specially-constfucted.
modern steel coach, today is riding
Northern Pacific trains to ascertain
for officers how their locomoti es be-
have while on duty.
This mechanical man, a eenius
whose skill enables him to cheek and
record ON each of his p fingers a To-
eomotiye reaction when under pres
sure for performance in drawing
trains, has been perfected to save
money for the railroad and at the
same time increase the power of
steam locomotives. He has the ca
pacity to point out to a certainty
Whenever the power unit of train
IS Sinking. If it is avid in appetite,
the mechanical man would clearly in
dicate the locomotives digestive ap-
paratus needed adjustment or its
diet should be changed to make it
more vigorous.
The car containing the mechanical
man, who is in reality an automatic
scale which can measure accurately
the work performed by locomotives,
just has been constructed by the
Northern Pacific railway at the st.
Paul shops at cost of $105,000. Ae-
cording to Silas Zwight. general me-
chanieal superintendent. it is believed
to be the largest and hest equipped
dynamometer car in the world and
is necessary because the Northern Pa
cific now is utilizing locomotives of
enormous size.
The car is SO equipped with delicate
instruments that it will record %
aspects of the operation of locomo-
tive. These include steam pressure,
speed, air pressure, and many other
features. These in the aggregate
comprise the pullingpower of which
a locomotive is capable.
According to the railroad execu-
tives, present-day railroad operation
makes it essential that operating of
ficers know to certainty what Goals,
what adjustments to engines, and
what modern appliances on locomo-
tives yield the best results. It is
expected this monster car will solve
many hitherto difficult problem.
The car is 10 feet long; it weighs
16s,600 pounds; and has a capacity
to measure drawhar pull up to ESQ.,,
600 pounds and shock up to 1,250,000
pounds
At the head end of the car is
cupola in which are placed all the in
struments and gauges necessary for
locomotive testing. In the cupola is
a chronograph table over the top of
which there is always travelling,
when the car is in motaion,s "a con-
tinuous roll Of paper "a inches wide.
On this paper series of pens make
a continuous record Of % events,
some of the most important being,
drawbar pull, shock, speed, train line
air pressure, steam pressure, dis
tance marks, one minute marks, sta
tions, and mile posts. The paper is
driven through gearing from the car
axle.
The car is modern throughout and
has ample space for workroom, wash
room, shower bath, sleeping sections,
and dining room, and will be used on
the entire system between Minneapo-
lis-St. Paul and Spokane, Seattle, Ia
coma and Portland.

IN good shape again Tuesday evening,
when the latest snow storm started.
Drifting snow now blocks all high

bad, still Red Lodge should feel that

points in all directions around us.

DE PRIEST
AS HIS OFFICE
NE|GHBOR

Representatives George M.
Pritchard (Rl of North Carolina has
ordered his secretary to vacate the
office assigned to him next to that
of oscar DePriest R.) of Illinois, first
negro Representative in 2s years,
thereby causing considerable worry
to those charged with the task Of
supplying offices to members Of the
House.
Pritchard's secretary is using the
office of Representative.elect Charles
A. Jonas R.) of North Carolina, and
it appears that he will begin his serv-
ice in Congress without an office of
his own unless he engages rooms in
a private office building.
DePriest's secretary is installed in
room 1870. House Office Building, and
Is quite satisfied. The office Is as
good as new Representatives usually
draw.
The North Carolina Congressman
who objected to room Nd. 1872 may
get an office after Congress opens,
since the Speaker then will be able
to assign a few members to vacant
offices in the Capitol.
Only one other member of the
House, Representative-elect Fred G.
Johnson (R.) of Nebraska, is without
an office. He was a bit late In put.
ting in a claim.
Superintendent Kerrigan explained
that offices are assigned according
to seniority and on dates of filing.
He is hard put for room to house
the 435 members of the House, and
says that someone will have to take
the office next to DePriest. Repre-

passes anything in our town, four
times the size.
Furthermore, a sectarian appeal
to religion isn't reaching the people.
Of course it feels good to those who
have a sectarian consciousness, but
it doen't reach far beyond that.
Churches are more interested in cap
turing new families to support their
sect than they are in actually serv-
ing them. Our greatest concern is
for the young people. The churches
have little to offer them beyond a cut
and dried religious program. And
they are not being reached.
A survey of the children enrolled
in the Plentywood Schools shows that
in Grade 2, 35 per cent of the chill
dren are out of reach of any church.
That e that no church pretends
to serve them. In the four high
school classes the percentages are 80,
80, 5O and 10 respectively. These
figures show the steady climb our
young people are making away from
the church. When an average of
ASP per cent of high school students
have no contacts with the church is
a deplorable situation if the Christian
religion really ear anything and
the church really has a commission
to go out and serve the whole world.
1t simply can that the church
isn't hitting the ball. 1t is a poor out
look for the moral and spiritual well
fare of the next generation of a
dults, but it is a worse outlook for
the future of sectarian churches
which in this generation have failed
in their task.
