T~ENDERFOOT GETS FILL
OF WILD WEST STUFF

to a dance at Nashua-after going
to Nashua it was found there was
no dance there-back to Wolf
Point-somebody suggested drinks
two of the men wouldn't drink
the party separated-somebody
gave a woman $500 for a bottle
of moon-a little later a man
came with a bottle Of liquor-real
fire water, so hot that it scared
the lips of the youthful drinker.
That was about the last he knew
until late the next afternoon when
he hazily came to at the Jail He
had been picked up out on the
prairie, about four o'clock in the
afternoon almost lifeless. He said
he had had more than 500 of
hard earned harvest money, but
his pockets were empty when he
was found. He had to borrow the
money for his fine from a pal.
His description as to the couple
from whom he got the moon
shine" was not definite enough
for them to be apprehended. Cope
land was carrying a gun, and it
on that charge that he was
brought into court. The gun as a
of protection had been a
total loss anyway.

TEN MILL LEVY UP
AT NOV. ELECTION

The county commissioners met
this week in regular session. For
the most part the time was taken
up with routine business. Two
matters of Importance, however,
were taken up. The commissioners
decided to present at the Novem-
Der election the matter of a 10
mill road levy for 1881. The COM
m~issioners are constantly being
asked for more and better roads
to various parts Of the county,
and unless a levy is voted it will
be impossible to go on with the
program of road construction de-
sired.
The question of the advisability
of a county agent has come up
from time to time, and for this
reason the commissioners decided
to have the matter come to a vote
at the November election.
Today the commissioners are
in special session to take
up the matter of special improve
ment districts in Brockton and
McCabe.

NO HUNTING ALLOWED
OF UPLAND GAME BIRDS

Ducks are the only game bird
that may be shot his fall accord
ing to a bulletin received by
Judge Gordon this week from the
state fish and game department.
The notice signed by Robert H.
Hill, secretary of the State Fish
and Game commission, says:
To all fish and game license
holders: At a regular meeting of
the State Fish and Game Commits
sion held at Helena, Montana, on
August 25th, 1880, an order was
made closing the season on all
upland game birds in the entire
state of Montana for the 1880 sea-
son, due to the scarcity of native
upland game birds in the state
and to prevent the undue deple-
ton thereof.
1t is, therefore, unlawful and a
misdemeanor punishable according
ly for anyone to shoot, kill, cap
ture, take or cause to be shot,
captured or taken any ma
tive upland game birds in the
State of Montana during 1880.

FARGO RESTAURANTS
SOLVE H,C.L. PROBLEM

DR.. A. R. Klatte, who with his
family has just returned from a
vacation trip, said that he was
impressed in Fargo by the way
some businesses were meeting
the hard times situation. He and
his wife got a meal at a certain
restaurant which they recalled
having patronized two years ago.
The dinner ordered was almost
identical with the one ordered on
the previous visit, but when he
came to pay the check DIR. Klatte
found that it was just half what
it had been two years ago. He
was interested in the difference
in prices and asked the proprietor
how they had been able to make
such a cut. The proprietor told
him that several of the restaur-
in Fargo had gotten together,
that they now buy local meat,
have it butchered in Fargo, and
use a common refrigerated store
room, from which each restaurant
checks out its meat as it is need
ed. This does away with freight
ways on the meat. helps the
local cattle raiser, and cuts down
the overhead of the individual
restaurants. Cooperation has cut
the costs by eliminating waste,
and the consumer has benefited
by the policy.

VIDA HAMMERS
SACO, 1914 WIN

They asked for it and they got
it: the third straight defeat for
Saco by the Vida ball team. 1t
was too cold for baseball and
many errors were made by fingers
too stiffened by the cold to obey
their owners will. Vida was handi-
capped by the absence of Toay,
the regular catcher, and the reg
ular first baseman was out be-
cause of a minor INJURY, making
a shift in the lineup necessary,
but Olson and Douglas of Circle
filled the vacancies in a capable
manner.
Scoring started in the second in
ming when Saco brought in three
runs and Vida could bring home
only two. Miller of Saco made a
three Dagger in this inning by
sending a long drive into left
field. In the fourth inning Bear
skin Of Saco knocked a home run
with nobody on, making four for
Saco. Then in the fifth Vida upset
things when Douglas and Olson
both made three baggers and wild
pitching by Edwards let them
Ward was then put on the
mound for Saco but Vida kept on
up the runs while Saco was
held ~scoreless during the remain

Capt. Dieudonne Coste and Maur-

today after achieving a feat that
hitherto had defied every chal-

The record-breaking craft with

rolled to a stop at Glib p. M, 81
hours and IS minutes after it had
scared aloft from LIE Bourget to
dare the perils of a North Atlantic
crossing.
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, who
first blazed the aerial trall be-

distance in 33 hours, 20 minutes.
But his was a "downhill" flight
because of the favorable winds on
a voyage eastward.

YOUTH FORCES CKS.
MUST STAND TRIAL
(Glasgow Courier)

Kenneth O. Kelvin, 10, of Min
neapolis was arrested Saturday at
Wolf Point and brought back to
Glasgow to face charges of forg-
ing the name Of his uncle, Gilbert
Kelvin, Of Nashua, to a number OF
checks. The boy appeared at his
uncle's ranch last week, having
beaten his way out on the rail-
road from the Twin Cities. Dur
ing his uncle's absence from the
house he evidently found his
check book, tore out a number of
checks, and going to Nashua,
forged his uncle's name to one
check for $4,000, which he cashed
at the bank. Another check for
$4,000 was used at the Halverson
store for the purchase of clothing.
He then hired a boy to drive him
to Wolf Point, where he used an
other forged check for $1,000 to
purchase clothing at a store there.
The Wolf Point merchant be-
came suspicious of the boy and
notified the Valley county sher-
ifs Office and Deputy Chas. Tay-
Tor and the uncle, Gilbert Kelvin,
drove to Wolf Point to get him,
where he had been arrested on
suspicion by the Roosevelt county
sheriff.
At a hearing before Judge G..
w. Rapp his bail bonds were set
at $4,000 and he will have a
hearing in district court on Sat
urday, September 6.
