FEDERAL SQUAD
ON THE ROUNDUP
OLD OFFENDERS 3 UP
AGAIN AFTER QUIET
SEASON

Federal officers Otto Waddell, J.
II. Cosgriff, ID. A. Brainerd and
Chas. Thompson, of the agency
police, were here last week Fri
day and Saturday. Friday they
discovered the paraphernalia Of a
still about nine and a half miles
Southeast of Wolf Point. Earl
Stringer, H. r. Braeuniger and P.
J. Hannaway were arrested,
charged with violation of the ma
tional prohibition act in that they
possessed utensils designed 70
manufacture intoxicating liquor.
They were brought before U. s.
Commissioner Stennes on Satur-
day and were bound over to the
next term Of federal district court
at Great Falls. Bonds were sci
at the customary $500 apiece.
Bondsmen in each case were Lest
er Gross of Wolf Point and Eu-
gene Grandchamps of Frazer.
The federal officers also brought
M before the commissioner Tom
Dorr, ST., and Archie Maertin,
arrested several months ago on Ii
quor possession charges. 1t
seems these cases were not com
pleted, and the men were without
bondsmen. Lester Gross and O..
K. Nasty went on Tom DORIS
bonds, and j. NJ. Mus and v. A.
Lowell were Maertin's bondsmen.
R. r. Simons was brought into
court on a possession charge. The
charge first lodged against him
was that of selling liquor to a
minor, and he was brought before
Judge Gordon. 1t was ~contended
by Simons that the signer of the
affidavit, MILFORD Fromdahl. was
over 81, and Simons got off with
a SO fine. Fromdahl claimed to
have bought a pint of moonshine
from Simons for $3.50.
Search of the Simons place
Monday by federal officials reveal
ed a five gallon keg with about a
gallon of alleged moonshine in it.
A large number of bottle corks
were on the floor, and there was
a rubber tube for siphoning the
liquor out of the keg into bottles.
Everything indicated that the
place had been doing a thriving
business. The liquor was not
found in the house occupied BY
the Simons family, but In another
building on the same lot. Simons
refused to open this building for
the officers, and it was necessary
70 force entrance.
Brought before Commissioner
Stennes on a possession charge,
Simons was bound over under
$500 bonds. Bondsmen were ]. B.
Welzenbach and Elmer Miller.
1t is understood that Simons
has been selling to school boys,
but when arrested he tried to beg
off on a plea of having a family
to look after. 1t will be recalled
that at the last term of federal
court Simons was sharply repri-
manded by Judge Pray for engag-
ing in liquor traffic, particularly
On account of having a family IF !
children. At that time he was
given a s25 fine and a so day sus-
sentence.

Work of Only Medical
School of Aviation

San Antonio. Texas.-The only
school of aviation medicine in the
United States $ intensifying its train
ing of doctors whose job is to restrict
army aviators TO men who are in extra
perfect physical condition.
Tests conducted by graduates of
this unique school at Brooks field in
dictate that young men from twenty
to twenty-eight years of age are the
best prospects for air service. This
class, 1t has been found, Is most apt
to possess that set Of physical, mental
and nervous attributes so rigidly de-
manded of army flyers.
And these flight surgeons them
selves must undergo an almost equally
exacting training to qualify as examin-
ing specialists. Added requisites for
the army pilot in turn have stepped
up this process of training his ex-
amiaers.
A reaction time machine and a
complex co-ordinator" are two ex.
amples Of complicated apparatus that
the aviation medic must use. The
former was invented by Capt. It. II.
Thorne to test emotional response.
The latter Is used to record in hun
dredths of a second the visual and
auditory stimuli of prospective airmen.

Wood Case at Muncie to
Reach Jury Early in
Week.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
MUNCIE, Ind, Feb. 1.-State and
defense attorneys presented their
last evidences today in the trial of
James E. S. Wood, charged with
the murder of Mr.. and Mrs. George
F. Heath, hoping to place the case
before the jury early next week.
The state Friday attacked the
theory of the defense that Wood
was insane, with testimony from
Woods former fellow workmen, his
landlady, BARRIERS. garagemen and
grocer. All witnesses told the court
they believed Wood insane.
Among state witnesses in rebuttal
were detectives and the sheriff who
captured Wood after his alleged
clubbing to death of the couple.
Three doctors, members of a COM
mission appointed by the court to
determine Woods mental condition,
earlier in the trial had testified
Wood was insane.
The commission will be called
upon for its formal report after
both sides have ended testimony.
