Now a mail bag is a pre-
cocious thing. Today'S ton of
letters included one from Will
liam P. Armstrong, known to
us as White-haired fight fan of
several decades standing, and
what does William want to
know except who will win the
understanding fight next
Thursday night? Sayeth or
Bill:
Pat O'COnnor and the rest
of US fellerS down around the
Court House are very anxious
to have you solve for us that
burning question, Who is going
to win the big milk fund fight
at Yankee Stadium June IL
between the American and Ger
man champiOnS?"
Whoa there. Bill! Wait a
minute! Isn't that a little
blunt? Isn't that warming up
to the subject just a bit sud-
denly?
Bill continues: 1--WE respect.
fully request you to give us
your personal opinion, as we
look upon you to have the
best judgment in this matter"
for which piece of bologna we
bow our heads in due reverence
and give thanks for such edl-
torial mama.
Armstrong declares. further
more, that he has picked the
last six heavyweight champion
ship fights, but that this one
has got him guessing.
That being the case, Bill, it
would seem more fitting that
you, not we, pick the winner of
this forthcoming embroglio, for
our fightpicking experience
dates only from the first Demp-
Sey-Tunney affair which we
missed as far as from here to
prohibition.
We have tried. however. to
make up for that since, not to
our knowledge having missed
forecasting a winner since that
day, our efforts in this line be-
ing confined only to the heav-
les. Some of the fans may bear
us out in this, while others
naturally only remember the
terrible sesquicentennial blum
der we pulled along with 1913

men who expressed themselves
at all before the fight.
We picked Dempsey to whip

the time, because we liked

NIGHT POLICEMEN
WILL BE PUT ON
COUNCIL DECIDES BETTEE
PROTECTION is NEEDED
CURFEW WILL RING

At their last meeting the city
council voted to instruct the pc
lice to resume the practice OF
sounding the siren and enforcing
the nine o'clock curfew fer child
rem.
The recent robberies and at
tempted robberies furnished an
argument in favor of better po-
lice protection that outweighed the
economy argument in the judg-
ment of Mayor Swedberg and the
aldermen. 1t was voted to hire
a night police as soon as a suit
able man can be found.
Monday night attempts were
made to steal several different
cars. In each case the cars were
either locked or for some other
reason could not be run. Ed
Krebsbach's car was pushed out
of the yard and a short distance
down the alley. The car was not
locked and in this instance the
thieves must have been frightened
away. Cars of Jim Brownlee, w.
Kearney and l.. L. Bogut were
also tempered with.
Sunday night the Clack oil sta
ion was entered and several tires
and tubes taken. An unsuccess-
'ul attempt was made to break in
0 the Motor Sales building.

by the same men. The programs
are planned and carried out as a
one-day intensive school for retail

of great interest to those engaged
in other kinds of business or in
no business at all. The speakers
were masters of their subjects
keen, clear, forceful. They shed
light on every subject they touch

awakened and inspired those who
present and heard.

FAMOUS HORSE
CASE DECIDED
PAYNE mot GUILTY" is THE
DECISION HANDED DOWN
BY JUDGE

From time to time someone in
quires as to the status of the
Horse case" against George Pay
ne, which was started nearly a
year ago following a roundup on
the reservation when several of
the reservation farmers had
horses u off from their range.
1t cost a number of the home
steaders considerable to get their
horses back, both in time and
money, and in some instances the
animals were never recovered.
The matter first came up in
justice court and was later sub
mitted to Judge Paul in the dis
trict court on briefs. Judge Paul
recently handed down a decision
finding Payne not guilty of the
charge. His lack of liability seems
be based on the fact that
it was not specifically shown that
the roundup was held without the
consent of the men whose horses
run off. Judge Paul further
states that inasmuch as the stat
ute of limitations has not expired.
new action could be instituted in
it could be shown that this
roundup was held without the
consent of those whose horses
run off. Part of the text of
the decision reads as follows:
