]. E. Arnot of Glasgow
Perishes In His Home

President ]. E. Arnot of the
Glasgow National bank lost his
life early Monday morning of last
week in a fire that broke out in
his residence there. His charred
body was found in the basement
by member of The fire department
when they answered the alarm and
were forced to break in an out
side door to the house to gain ad-
mittance. The theory of the trag-
edy is that Mr.. Arnot had gone
into the basement of the house, in
which he was alone at the time, to
light the water heater so the
house hold would have a supply of
hot water for washing purposes
Monday morning.
1t is thought he must have faint
ed while holding a lighted match
in his hand and fell into a pile of
papers and rubbish which became
ignited and there suffocated and
burned to death. It was brought
out at the coroner's inquiry that
Mr.. Arnot had been subject 30
fainting spells and had been a vic
tim of five or six of them recent
ly.
Mr.. Arnot's body was found in
a smoke-filled room In the base
ment lying on a blazing pile of
papers and rubbish. He was garb-
ed in his night gown. The upper
part of his body was burned to a
Grip.
At corners inquest a verdict
of accident death by suffocation
and burning was returned,

A CALL TO BATTLE

The ringing call for a mass Farmer-Labor Par
ty convention to be held in the Farmer-Labor Tenn
pie on September should meet with an enthusiastic
response from the militant farmers of Sheridan
County
For two years the masses have seen the county
administered by a gang of Office-holders who have
the mental processes of freebooters, who regard
politics a racket and the county that is in their
clutches fine place 20 loot.
During the past year, when hundreds of farmers
were at their wits end to secure money for loan
and seed purposes, the hybrid Republican-Demo
cratic politicians in the court house raised
voice moved muscle to help the people. They
content to draw their salaries and perequi-
sites. They have cast their lot with those who live
on the masses.
The Farmer-Labor Party is not catering to pure
and simple office seekers but wants to enlist the
support of all those who are ready to help make
this country better place for the producers to
live in and who wish to join in a general move
ment to lake control of national state and county
governments out Of the hands of the Rig BUSINESS
The Democratic and Republican parties are
again engaging IN a shame battle. Neither one
has any claim the suffrage of the workers ard
farmers. Both parties simply veing with
each other as to which shall have the profitable
honor of serving the interests of the capitalists
Besides a Farmer-Labor ticket IN Sheridan
County the workers and farmers of adjoining coun-
ties expected 10 raise the banner of class po-
htical action in this election campaign. There
will be state ticket in the field and the workers
and farmers of Montana will have an opportunity
TO vote for a senatorial and congressional candi-
date other than Galen and WalSh,-a candidate
who will stand boldly for the class interests of the
masses against those of the Anaconda Copper
Mining Company and its satellites.

WINTER SALE OF USED
CARS MAKES RECORD

An indication of the rapid expan-
sion of the used car market and, an
assurance of a Frightening business
outlook was revealed in an announce
ment by the Chevrolet Motor Com
pany today that winter sales Of used
cars by the nationwide Chevrolet
dealer organization are exceeding by
more than twenty-five per cent the
best previous winter record.
Despite the extremely cold and
stormy weather in the northern states
i'm January and adverse weather con-
ditions in some other sections, sales
of used cars by Chevrolet dealers dur
ing the month totaled 10000 cars as
compared with the January record of
$4,000 established last year.
A quickening of general business
and unusually mild weather in Feb
ruary assured a new record for that
month even though final figures for
the last ten days of the month are
not yet available Reports from deal
ers for the first twenty days of Feb
ruary show an increase of 54.4 per
cent over the corresponding period OF
February last year. During the first
twenty days Of February 1880, the
Chevrolet dealer organization sold
