by Theodore M. Fosse, who resigned
a similar position in Blaine county to
take charge of work in Richland coun-
ty.
His work in Richland county early
gained him more than statewide
prominence and during the past three
years as a result of the phenomenal
growth of the Richland county fair his
name has been heralded throughout
the northwest and his services have
been sought In a like capacity in sew
eral sections.
MI. DePue is without question n
Of the most capable agricultural fair
managers in the United States. He
has not only put Richland county on
the fair map of the country, but
through collective exhibits has gained
for each group of adjoining counties
distinction for the merits of its farm
products. He is first q co-operator,
a developer of the proper community
spirit SO necessary to the success OF
the fair undertaking. His work in.
Richland county will not be undone
by his leaving; he has built the Rich
land county fair structure too sub
stantially for that and his methods
in doing SO will be continued in pro-
noting its greater growth.
Two years ago Mr.. DePue was state
commander of the American Legion.

New Fad Is Reducing
Fuel Bills Considerably

A new fad, born of depression and
a fear of hard times" has clipped
approximately S250,000 from the winter
fuel bills of Butte and Anaconda.
Not only has it converted idle hours
to profitable and healthy pastime. but
it has stimulated trade III junk and
wrecked automobiles, while its con-
tribution to the public welfare cannot
be measured on a dollar basis"
Such is the epitome of the wood
chopping party, a fad which originated
among the unemployed and part-time
workers from the mines and smelters.
Not confined to laboring classes, the
fad spread among others of economic
standing sufficient to drive automobiles
of Neutrality-suspicious., lawyers and
merchants joined in the fun.
Recently, when winter SHOWS halted
weekend wood chopping parties, John
B. Taylor, Deer Lodge national forest
supervisor, estimated that more than
10000 cords of wood have been re-
moved from the reservation by domestic
users.
With current retail market for wood
ranging from $40 to $40 per cord, de-
pending upon the quality, a conserva-
tive estimate of the value of the wood
gatherers' harvest is $250,000.
The miners, many of them handy
with tools, constructed all manner of
quaint vehicles, which, hooked behind
their automobiles, were used to haul
the, wood to Butte and Anaconda.
Many of these trailers were of more
or less standard constructions wagon
box on an old automobile axle-but
many of them were of individual de-
sign.
A few persons, more intent on
avoiding coal bills, made power saws
to operate from the rear wheel of
ar automobile.
Summer home owners of the lake
district, unmindful of winter fuel bills.
joined in the fad, hired q power saw
and during weekend outings, replen-
ished their wood sheds for next sum-
mer's vacation.
THE value of this wood gathering
is beyond estimation" Taylor said.
"The dead and fallen trees, stumps
and dry underbrush have practically
been cleared from the forests" he said.
Especially is this the case along roads
and highways where fire hazards from
burning cigarets carelessly tossed from
automobiles are great.
1.-The value of this service to the
public cannot be measured on o dollar
basis"

CHIEF GAUNT AND
POLICE GUILTY
CONSPIRACY CHARGE AGAINST
GREAT FALLS OFFICERS
HELD AS PROVEN
Chief of Police Ray Gaunt of Great
Falls Fined 81, 200 for Violation of
Prohibition Laws; Bootleggers Were
Fined Periodically.

Chief of Police Ray Gaunt, four
sub0rdinates of the Great Falls police
department, and 20 alleged bootleg
gers, charged with conspiracy to vio-
late the national prohibition laws,
were found guilty in the federal court
in Great Falls recently. The evidence
disclosed that the police had de-
veloped a system by which Great
Falls bOOtleggers were fined fixed
sums periodically and allowed to con-
time operations, the money finding
its way into the city treasury. The
case attracted much attention, as the
system is said to be in vogue else
where in Montana.
When Judge Bourquin had heard tn,
verdict, pointing to the chief, he asked
Are you Guant?" and when Chic
Gaunt had replied, said:
I'm a way you are unfortunate, vic
timized by a system without knowledg,
Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1930-12-25

that you were violating the law. I see
in your case no corrupt intent or graft.
I sentence you to pay a fine of $1,000,
costs, and Imprisonment until the fine
is paid"
Judge Bourquin then sentenced the
four remaining police officers and the
alleged bootleggers. Their fines were:
Lieut.. Ernest Goings, 5000; Lieut.. A,
L. Anderson, 500; Officer Ray A. Wick,
5000; Officer Emil Nelson, $3.50; Pete
Altes, $3.50; Dan Croxford, $3.50; j. r.
Farrell, $3.50; John Gionolus, $3.50; F.
R. Gosney, $50; Emory Vanderhoover,
$3.50; Hayes O'Neil, $3.50; John C.
O'Neil, $3.50; Dan Shields, $3.50; c. G.
Smith, $3.50; Catherin Babe" Smith,
$50; Marjorie Thompson, $3.50; Mrs.
Ray Walker, $3.50; Charles Watson,
$3.50.
Under section 88, title ID, United
States codes, the defendants were sub
ject to a fine of not more than $4,000
or Imprisonment of not more than two
years, or both. There is no minimum
penalty for the offense.
Immediately following the sentenc-
ing of the defendants, John l.. Stat
terry of the law firm of Slattery &
Tighe; counsel for the indicted police
officers and spokesman Tor the attor-
neys representing other defendants in
the action, filed notice Of appeal. APP
peal bonds were set by the court for
the police officers and the alleged boot
leggers.
Each of the defendants must pay
part of the costs.

TWO BEING TRIED
ON ROBBERY CASE
WILLIAM MORSE PLEADS GUILTY;
COMPANION DENIES PART
IN CRIMES

Charges Of robbery have been pre-
ferred in district court at Great Falls
against william Morse, Fl, and La
tour Loveland, 81, self styled moon
sinner, by Cascade County Attorney
Frank p. Gault as a consequence Of
number Of robberies in which the
two defendants are believed to have
been implicated. Morse entered a
plea Of guilty when arraigned before
Judge III. H. Ewing and will be sem
fenced following the trial Of Love-
Land.
The two men are charged specifically
by the state with the robbery of Her
bert L. Arehart at 3515 Second avenue
north IN Dec. IL and obtaining $25
by exercise of force and fear. Bonds
for each defendant were placed at
$4,000.
When arraigned Morse admitted that
Morse was his correct name and en-
tered a plea of guilty. The passing
of sentence was deferred by the court.
Loveland entered a plea Of not guilty.
Leo Graybill of the legal firm of Gray
bill & Graybill was entered as his
counsel. His trial began the first Of
this week.
Information has been filed against
Fred Miller, 80, a miner, and third Of
the trio of alleged bandits. All three
were arrested by Police Captain Fred
Locher and other officers. Loveland
and Miller have emphatically stated
that they are innocent Of any implica-
ton in the robbery of Arehart or any
other person.
In excess of IS robberies and major
crimes have been reported by authori-
ties since Nov. l, and in several in
stances two or three persons have been
implicated in otfenSes. Morse, the con-
fessed bandit, admitted that he was a
party to the robbery of Joseph Mac
Pherson, street car motorman, on Nov.
26. In this robbery he admittedly held
the gun with which Macpherson was
threatened. The robbery resulted in
but $18 and a watch as the loot.
Admits Handling Gun
The youth has also admitted that
he was the gun handling bandit who
took part in the robbery Of C. Childs
of the Diamond Cab company on Dec.
8 and in the robbery of the Arehart
grocery store. In the Childs robbery,
the bandits obtained $40 and the cab
driven by Childs. The cab vas later
abandoned.
In all the robberies in which Morse
has admitted to implication, he Sc
cured but about, $50. according To his
confession. The youth has refused TO
implicate Loveland or Miller in the
robberies.
Loveland, however, was identified by
Mr.. and Mrs. Arehart as one Of the
bandits who robbed them. He was also

SERVICE CHIEF RECOMMENDS
GOVERNMENT AID IN PRO-
TECTING WESTERN AREAS

"A federal policy Of forestry has
been developed for almost 60 years"
says Robert Y. Stuart, chief Of the
forestry service, in his annual re-
port to the secretary Of agriculture.
THAT the American people are II
favor Of forest conservation as a pub
lie policy admits Of no dispute. Ex-
tensive further forest destruction u
held undesirable and injurious to pub
lie welfare and there is strong popular
desire not only to have the present
forests protected and maintained but
also to have the forests restored where
man has removed them without subse-
quently putting land to other USE"
The forester's report recommends
that certain forest areas in the public
domain should be handled as integral
parts of national forests. Certain
areas of privately owned timber land

also should come under the same man.

not wish to retain and which it would
be bad public policy to leave uncared

ITO some degree state forestry is en-
tering the western field" says the re-
port. 1T should be encouraged and
built up by all available means. How

of their own that are suitable for forest
administration, together with lands
that will revert to public ownership

mand about 1900 men and all the
cavalrymen were on foot. The men
were without provisions Coles loss
was reported IL men killed and two
missing, besides several wounded. Ma
jor North took the command to Fort
Conner which Conner himself reached
September "a upon his return.
Conner Loses Command
General Conner found orders from
the department commander calling
him to Fort Laramie and relieving him
Of his command. He was greatly
angered at this treatment and felt
that an injustice had been done him
which indeed had.
According to official records, volume
102, Coles lengthy report to General
Grant in Washington, d. c., told of
the situation. From that and from
the stories told by the Cheyennes a
clear idea may be had of the situation.
1t is evident that Cole and Walker
both showed themselves incompetent.
General Conner was more or less re-
sponsible for their troubles. He ordered
two columns under two colonies, but
did not put Walker under Coles COM
mand. AS soon as the men met in
the prairie country they began quar-
reling and disagreed on every issue.
They acted together only when at
tackled by Indians.
The two officers and their men were
attacked while marching up the Pow
der river valley the first days of Sep
tember by a large body of Sioux and
C%heyennes, under the Cheyenne chief,
Roman Nose. The Indians had only
q few guns and could not face the
heavy volley fire from the Spencer car

bines with which most Of the soldiers
were armed. The Cheyennes with
drew and went into the Black hills to
hunt buffalo. The command then
moved on up the river and on Sep
TENDER 8 while camped at the mouth
Of Little Powder river 5000 Sioux at
tackled. According to the Indian re-
ports this action was taken to stop
the troops in order that the Sioux
women might pack their lodges and
move away. A cold storm swept down
upon the camp that night, and firing
ceased. Horses and mules died on the
picket line. Wagons, supplies Of all
kinds and even ammunition was de-
stroyed. Barefooted and starving they
were found by Major North and his
Pawnee scouts and taken to Fort Con-
nor, as stated above.
Remains of the burned wagons and
cinch rings from the saddles are lying
near the banks of the Powder river
south of Miles City, and near the vii
lage of Powderville, in Powder River
county. Up to a few years ago an old
cast-iron cannon could be seen on a
gravel bar, which pioneers claim was
abandoned by the destitute soldiers
when it became fouled and was use
less. During the flood season a few
years ago the cannon disappeared in
the quicksand.
Reports Of Expedition Vary
News from Fort Conner informed
General Dodge that Coles and Walk
er's retreat up the Powder river had
been a victorious advance. In one
instance, the report stated that on the
4th the troops had defeated the Sioux,
killing two hundred. But this was the
day the troops moved about q mile
up the valley to get better grass for
their starving horses, and saw no In
dams.
C%heyennes tell of the expedition in
a different amer They claim the
troops never took the offensive-their
horses were in such condition that they
could not make a mounted charge and
were satisfied to fight off the attacking
Indians. Cole, himself, stated that his
men never fought unless they were at
tackled.
The troops were withdrawn from the
Powder river country and the next year
General Darlington was sent up there
to establish a fort. He had no trouble
as his experience on the plains proved
the salvation for his troops. The OBJ
~jective of his expedition was success
fully carried out in the territory which
was infested with warning Indians who
were fighting for their hunting grounds
