Stacey Sentenced To
Five Years in Pen

Confessing his guilt as to the cause
of IL incendiary fires on the Kootenai
and Blackfeet forests early this month
Andrew Stacey of Pinkham Ridge, near
Eureka, was sentenced Friday 70
five years in the state prison at Deer
Lodge by Judge Asa Duncan.
Stacey is a resident of Pinkham
Ridge which several years ago was In
the limelight as the hot-bed of incen-
diarism. His object according to the
statement to the court, was to obtain
work fighting the fires which he
started. Judge Duncan informed him
that the court could find no more JUS
LITIGATION for setting forest fires thar
for setting fire to mans house to OBJ
tain work helping put the fire out.
The forest service will 60 to any pos
sible length to apprehend those who
wilfully set fires in the national for
ests, according to local forest officers
For years it has been the policy ia
run down every clue and whenever
local people are suspected, none Of
them are employed on the fires. Any
attempt to create work by criminally
setting the fires in the forests is there
fore futile. Instead, it is much more
likely to end in prison sentence such
as Stacey is to serve.
This is the first serious incendiary

After Store Robbers

Last Saturday Sheriff Baney and
Harold Miller left on trip that was to
end at Glenns Ferry. Ida, where two
men had been arrested who had con-
fessed to having robbed the Richard
X Miller store at Libby some weeks
1go. Sheriff Baney took Andrew Stacey
to Deer Lodge, Stacey having been
sentenced to five years in the peniten-
tiary for setting forest fires They then
planae]tr dive t. NAnns Ferry ~l1tcA
is in the southeastern part Of Idaho be-
tween Pocatello and Boise.
According to information received by
the sheriff's office in Libby, the two
men held in the Idaho city give the
names of Jack Robinson and Glen
Little The marshall at Glenns Ferry
became suspicious Of these two as they
hung around town and when he at
tempted to accost them they disap-
peared in nearby brush. Later federal
officer and the marshal searched the
mems car and found the goods that had
been stolen when the Libby store was
robbed The two men were later picked
up few miles out from the town. The
were suspected of having robbed an
Idaho pool hall, one of them having
$50 on his person when arrested and
the federal government wants them on
charge of car stealing. 1t is not YET
known whether Idaho authorities will
surrender them to be returned to Mon
tana.

Forester
Glad to Cooperate

w. E. Dexter, president of the Libby
Rod and Gun Club, is in receipt of
letter from Evan w. Kelley Of Mis-
soula, regional forester Of this district
in reply to one written to Mr.. Kelley
by the club short time ago relative
to the keeping Of sheep out of certain
districts here. Mr.. Kelley writes that
he is very glad to cooperate with the
Libby club and says, in part.
r. an vtKx RI " ec-spersa< with
your association in this matter and
have taken the necessary action to
have the area designated in your let
ter set aside for the use of game ex-
cept that local stockmen will be per-
mitted to use such range as is neces-
sary for the proper development and
maintenance of their ranches, and ex-
cept also that between Carney Peak
and the head Of Silver Butte Fisher
along the Cabinet divide a strip on the
Fisher river watershed approximately
mile wide adjacent to this divide is
badly needed in conjunction with other
range on the Clarksfork side of the
divide, and since this area has no value
as winter game range | am sure your
organization will not object. In taking
this action I wish to call attention to
the fact that the territory between
Libby creek and Fisher river within
the boundary of the Kootenai national
forest is better than 50 per cent pri-
vate land and to point out that the for
est service can not regulate the use of
these private lands.
Il wish to assure you, however, that
we shall be glad to cooperate with
the private owners of this land and in
carrying out the wishes of the Libby
Rod and Gun Club and trust that you
will get the concurrence in a similar
plan"

Dispatches in the daily papers tell
of the shooting as follows:
There were no eyewitnesses to the
shooting Of Mr.. and Mrs. Halderson.
It occurred in cabin adjoining the inn.
Van was playing cards with the Hald-
ersons just before the shooting. Ha
shot each with a rifle twice. He then
stepped into the dance hall and said
he had just killed two people, but if
those in the hall kept quiet he would
not harm them.
Van fled from the inn to his parked
automobile. Smiths car was parked di-
rectly in front of the Van machine, and
Smith came out at exactly the same
time and started to get into his car.

Keeping Up Appearances.

'Keeping up appearances" seems to
be a national trait. Like anything else,
1t can be overdone to the embarrass-
ment Of purse and person.
Expressing ambition in terms Of
higher living than one can afford al
ways seemed to us to be silly appear
ance." Living up to, but within. ones
income is all that any woman should
attempt. Beyond that lie debts, worries
and brow-creases.
Emulating ones neighbor is quite all
right, provided ones neighbor sets a
good example. It Is monkeyltke, how
ever, to try to live like ones neighbor
when the latter either enjoys larger
income or Is herself living beyond her
means on an income comparable with
yours.
Creditors become impatient after a
while in most communities, and keep
ing up appearances" Is a game that
has definite limits.
