Erie Music at Yellowstone Lake
(By the United Press-)

Erie Music at Yellowstone Lake.
YELLOWSTONE PARK, Wyo., July
Sup )-Phantom music, resembling
the soft stunning of harp and the
mellow notes of pipe organ, which is
often heard during the still hours of
the morning over Yellowstone lake,
has proved an enigma to scientists.
In an article written on the acoustic
phenomenon, one scientists says:
1T put me in mind of the vibrating
clang of a harp, lightly and rapidly
touched high up above the tree tops,
or the sound of many telegraph wires
swinging regularly and rapidly in the
wind, or, more rarely, Of family heard
voices answering each other overhead
1t begins softly in the remote dis
lance, draws rapidly near with louder
and louder throbs of sound and dies
away in the opposite distance; or it
may seem to wander irregularly about,
the whole passage lasting a few sec
onds to a half minute or more
Although there have been innu-
merable theories advanced as to the
cause of the sound, none are accepted
as true solution.

Dry Squad Officers
Shoot Into Auto

Ben Deyerle, employed by the for
est service in the Yak district, will
need to buy new tires for his car as
the result of an encounter with MEM
bers Of the dry squad Saturday night
According to reports reaching Libby,
Deyerle was driving along the Yak
road when he noticed a car behind
him, the lights Of which, shining
through the rear window Of his car,
bothered him. He requested compan-
ions in the back seat to lownr the
window shade, which they did, and
Deyerle speeded up to get farther
away from tft bof1ierspnte tar Wl11t
was his surprise after travelling about
four miles to be overtaken by dry
squad men who stopped him and
searched his car. The officers found no
liquor in the car and allowed Deyerle
to proceed He had gone only short
distance when his tires went flat and
examination showed they had been
shot into by someone, ostensibly the
dry squad officers as they chased him.
1t is said the officers had no siren for
signaling on their car and Deyerle says
he heard no shooting, due to the noise
OF the two cars.

Three New Voting
Places In County

Because of new law enacted by the
last session of the state legislature, it
became necessary to create three new
voting precincts in the county. The
new law required that all districts ly-
ing outside the limits of incorporated
towns should not be included in pre-
cincts within the towns. That made it
necessary for the county commissioners
to create three new precincts-in ter
ritory adjoining the towns of Libby,
Eureka and Troy.
4 County Clerk Won says that people
living within, these nrw precincts
should note carefully the new voting
places in order that there may be no
misunderstanding or confusion on cleo
ton day.
LIBBY-At Libby a new precinct
has been created, precinct No. n, COM
prising all that territory lying outside
the city limits and yet adjacent to the
city. The polling place will be in the
Robt- Hamilton cabin near the plant
of The Zonolite company.
EUREKA-At Eureka the new pre-
cinct is No. 3, composed of the ter
ritory lying outside the city limits, and
the voting place will be at the county
fair grounds, in the exhibit building.
TROY-At Troy the new precinct is
No. 25 and the voting place will be in
the Fitzpatrick building

Contract Signers
Face Heavy Deficit

Chautauqua program is being pre-
.sented in Libby this week. beginning
last Monday and closing tomorrow
night The attendance has been un-
usally small, due to several causes
not the least of which is the general
business depression, resulting here as
elsewhere in reduced paychecks and
earnings, The very recent visit of cir
Gus and a carnival to the city-which
always takes away much money-and
the celebrating of the Fourth also have
contributed to reducing the chautauqua
attendance. From present indications
the guarantors will face a deficit Of
between $500 and $500
The programs have been entertain
ing and up to the usual chautauqua
standard. Tonight there will be pre-
sented the feature program of the
week, smashing comedy by a good
company, THE Big Pond Tomorrow
the big musical feature will be the
Margot Hayes company, in light and
comic opera and musical comedy.

within the building. Rushing to the
door the Greek saw Carone lying on
the ground and the Mexican running
westward on the railroad track. Car
one was shot through the cheeks, the
bullet entering on one side and COM

which is only flesh wound.
The wounded Italian was taken to Troy
and given emergency treatment by DR..
English, later being brought to the
hospital at Libby Monday DR.. Cairns

bone, with two teeth.
Sheriff Baney was called and went
immediately to Yakt but could find
no trace of Torres. He was later ar
rested in Spokane, with loaded 80

Great Northern working card which
identified him. He is now lodged in
