COUPE in COOP AFTER
VISIT TO CHICKEN COOP

Tuesday morning about day
break, Cliff Wilson heard a COM
motion near his house and got up
to investigate. He found that
there was a car parked north of
his chicken coop. Two men came
in sight as Wilson approached the
south side of the coop. 1t was too
dark to distinguish their features.
Wilson fired twice into the ground,
and the men turned and ran off
across the flat east of town as if
pursued by the Old Nick. In their
flight they abandoned the car, a
Ford coupe, which had the ignition
locked and no key in the lock. The,
car was also minus a license.
Mr.. Wilson notified the Sheriff's
office, and that evening the car
was taken to the Jail for safe keep
ing. At the time this is written Il
is still in the custody of Sheriff
and Undersheriff Coun-
Gil.
Thursday a man named Hend-
walked into the sheriff's
cdice and said he was looking for
Ford coupe. Inquiry revealed
that the car had been purchased
this spring of a Glasgow concern
and that the license had been
sent for, but not yet received.
The man said that the a had
been left parked in front of the
coming house on Third avenue
Ind had been taken from there,
hat the car had been driven
bout by various parties. Under
Council sent him in quest
# the man who had the key, but
hat gentleman is probably still
.oing. At any rate the Ford coupe
8 still in custody of the officers.

END BRIDGE
TO COME TO VOTE
COMMISSIONERS WILL SUBMIT
QUESTION TO VOTERS
JULY IS

One of the things accomplished
by the board of county commits
Sioners this week was the pas
sage of a resolution permitting
the matter of a special five mill
levy for the construction of a
bridge at CuIbertson to be voted
on at the primary election. This
levy would be for a period of
one year only and would provide
about $4,000. State highway en-
gineers have made soundings at
the site and have found that the
nature of the river bed is such
that no caissons would be needed,
making the cost less than that
of the Wolf Point Bridge.
The building of this bridge would
be financed in part by the federal
government, leaving 44% of the
cost to be divided between Roose-
welt and Richland counties, should
both counties vote the necessary
1t is Culbertson's purpose
to raise a considerable sum at
home, so that the tax that would
be distributed over the county by
OF the five mill levy would
be negligible.
The proposed bridge would be
On the Canadian-Mexico north and
south highway which passes
through the east end of the coun-
", and would not only be valu- |
ible as a link on a through traf-
lie highway, but would be the
means of opening UP farm land
development in northern Richland
county south of Culbertson. The
situation at Culbertson
s much the same as it is at Wolf
POINT, and lack of bridge facili-
les has retarded the development
f that section.
A delegation of men from Gull
met with the commission
RS Monday and went owe with
hem the bridge project. Those in
he party included ]. E. Peterson,
:. w. Stahl, S. S. Moen, K. l..

Liberty theatre on Tuesday, We'd

ry Lay, temporarily in charge of
the Marine Base at San Diego,
was also actively engaged in the

In commenting ON the work

Memorial Day Should
Inspire Men To
A Life Of Service

Decoration Day again calls us
to observe a custom of long stand
ing, one that had its birth with
the ending of the Civil War and
was augmented with the war with
Spain and the late World War.
1t is the day when we pay Dur
respects to the memory of those
who have served and suffered and
died under oath of fealty as sol
diers of the armed forces of the
United States of America. 1t is
the day when we lay our annual
tribute of flowers upon the flag
marked graves in token of our un-
dying esteem for the flower of
who stood in our stead
at the battle front and consecrat-
ed their lives to the protection
Of our country's rights and the
correction of our country's wrongs.
1t is the day when We again say
thank you" to those who gave
that we might have.
Its observance will not affect
the dead, but it should influence
the living by ~arousing in our
hearts a greater love and loyalty

the government they !
to sustain and the land
which has been drenched with
blood. And this observance
should make US not the less but
he more conscious OF the unpro-
honors due those un-
undecorated, unmedaled
leroes who made an equal though
lnspectacular sacrifice in civilian
ife.
The soldiers whose graves we
Iecorate and whose memory we
have died; but that for
which they died is not dead. This
day gives a voice to every grave.

Mrs. Moody and Miss Ryan Win
French Doubles Title Easily

Tilden's reputation suffered no eclipse
through the defeat at the hands of the
French. He outplayed his old adver.
sary, Borotra, during the first four sets
and held him even in the last when
both were faltering badly.
1t was the superiority shown by De
Buzelet over the American youngster
Coen that carried the day for the
French. With the aid Of Tilden's cam
nonball service, the Americans made
wonderful comebacks to reel of two
bursts of five straight games and win
the second and third sets after they
seemed irretrievably lost. But the effort
was too great, and the French. with De
Buzelet improving as the contest pro-
crossed, came from behind to take the
next two and the match.
In the semi-finals Borotra and De
Buzelet will meet Harry Hopman and
Jim Willard. the dashing young Aus
tralians, while Cochet and Brugnon. the
French Davis Cup pair, tackle another
strong Australian team consisting Of e.
r. Moon and Jack Crawford.
Tilden Jared well in the mixed
doubles, he and Cecile Aussem of Ger
