hard as he could to keep things going
But the battle was a losing one. Soon
a long silence fell. Trotter sang quietly
the words of an old music hall song,
and Raleigh gave little laugh to show
his appreciation. What could he say?
He realized with shame that Trotter
had led almost every topic of conversa-
ton, and he had followed lamely be-
hind. What would interest this friendly
little man? Motoring? Surely MOTT
would embarrass him to admit that he
had never had a car. What could he
know of school like Barford? He was
thinking so furiously that Trotter's
voice quite startled him.

Again a silence fell. Then Raleigh
remembered Trotter's allusion to throw
ing a cricket ball into the German
trenches. Osborne too had asked him
if he played cricket-perhaps they
talked cricket sometimes. He turned
to Trotter and asked him If he played.
Cricket" said Trotter. "Oh, I used
to play years ago for the old Grass
hoppers at Chaplain. 'Ad a pitch on
the common-used to get a decent
crowd along on a Saturday-used to

SEVEN PERSONS DROWN

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, June 12.-S Seven
persons were drowned Tuesday after
noon IN the plunge of an automobile
into so feet of water in an abandoned
quarry on the Souderton- Hatfield road
near Souderton, % miles north of Phila-
delphia.
The bodies of two women were found
in the quarry Monday along with two
mems straw hats and a baby's milk
bottle. The wire cable surrounding the
quarry broke and an automobile
plunged over the side of the quarry
bank
It was established in this city that
six persons, five of one family, had not
returned to their home from a visit
to relatives at Telford, north of the
quarry. The missing persons were
members of the Wisham and Cuppitt
families of Germantown.

The man turned and resumed his
vigil. Trotter crept up softly and lay
beside him. and a murmured converse
ton followed Raleigh crouched be-
hind and waited. Beyond the heads
of the sentries he could see a sprawling
maze of wire, linked here and there
to iron pickets that stuck crafty out
Of the tumbled earth. Beyond lay a
black desolation, which seemed to swell
and shrink as the lights threw shadows
over it. When a Very light fell near
them it lit a low, crazy ridge ahead,
which might have been the German
parapet-so near that it thrilled him,
and, in turn, made him vaguely afraid.
As Trotter drew back he asked the
question.
Yes" said Trotter in a low voice,
"thats the Boche front line. Boche
looking over this way now, maybe, just
as we are-d'you play cricket?" he
added somewhat irrelevantly.
"A Bit said Raleigh.
Gould you chuck a cricket ball that
oistance?"
Il think So"
Then you could do the same with
Mills bomb"
There was a pause. Raleigh smiled,
not knowing what to say.
But you won't. though" said Trotter,
leading the way back toward the front
line. Come on; let sleeping dogs lie.
If we was to throw a bomb you can
bet yer boots the old Boche would
chuck one back, and Mr. Digby and
Mr.. 'Arris, lying there, are both married
men with kids. Wouldn't be-be
cricket, would it?" he added brightly.
NO" said Raleigh. But it was all
very strange. 1t was so different from

men with kids" lying there in the dark
so yards from the Germans. No, it
wouldn't be cricket to chuck a bomb
at the enemy, because they would throw
one back; and that wouldn't be right,
with two married men with kids" lying
there. He had never thought of that
before. A soldier was a soldier-and
that was all there was to it. He fought
and, If necessary, died. 1t had not oc-
CURED to Raleigh before that the death
of any one of these men would leave
. trail of unquenchable sorrow behind.

WIN. /. YOUNG FINDS
FRIENDS EVERYWHERE

William L. (BilD Young, east,
ern and northern Montana's can
didate for Railroad and Public
Service Commissioner, has made
several trips over the state, ac-
companied by friends, in the in
terest of his candidacy at the
primaries, July Is.
Mr.. Young's reception every
where has been highly gratifying.
The comments of the press, and
d~isinterested opinion from individ-
uals, indicate that he is well in
the lead of the candi-
dates seeking the commissioner
ship. The fact that he is the only
candidate east of Billings and
Lewistown and north of Helena
and Missoula makes Mr.. Young
especially popular in those extern
sive parts. And he also has many
supporters in the southwestern
portion of the state from people
who have had the opportunity to
observe his ability and fitness for
the Office through his efficient
work for the new bridge near
Wolf Point.

WOLF POINT GETS
FINE RAIN tues.
HAIL DAMAGE is REPORTED
CROPS LOOKING
THRIFTY

Wolf Point and the country i'm
mediately surrounding it was
treated to a glorious rain Tues
day evening. 1t came at the end
of a sultry day and there were
indications of hail in the clouds,
but from reports that have come
in there were only a few fields
that we're damaged. F1oris Verste-
gen and Eli Maltby, northwest Of
Wolf Point sustained damage var.
iously estimated at 40 to SO per
cent. A. j. Isachsen's crops also
were damaged, but the percent
age of loss was not learned by
the reporter. Reports made by
various other farmers indicate
that while there WIS some hail
with the rain, there was not
enough to cause serious damage.
Some hail is said to have fallen
in the Sand Creek country.
The extent of the rain was not
so general as might have been
wished. To the west it extended
to a point about half way between
Frazer and Nashua, while to the
east it did not reach as far as
Poplar. The rain appears to have
for a greater distance
north and south.
Crops in general are looking
fine, and, with an occasional rain
such as came the other night,
and other conditions equally good,
there is reason to expect an ex-
,ellent yield.
In some sections anxiety is ex-
pressed over the need of moisture,
although the situation is not yet
serious.
Ed Schillinger was in from the
Vida country Thursday and he
said that crops never looked bet
.er than they do right now. Win
.er wheat and rye are practically
made and some of the early
wheat is stemming. The
sort of crop we have will depend
IN getting the right sort of wealth

DR.. CLOUD LOSES
CAR AND PAPERS
VALUABLE PAPERS, DISHES
AND OTHER THINGS
IN AUTO

DR.. H. B. Cloud was unfortun
ate enough to have his car stoler
from beside the Huxsol building
late Sunday evening. He and Mrs.
Cloud spent the day at Medicine
Lake, bringing back with them a
number of things which they did
not care to entrust to the hands
of movers.
DR.. Cloud was driving his Model
A Ford coupe and Mrs. Cloud had
the touring car. When he arrived
the Doctor left the car for a few
miuteS and went up to his office,
later going to the Electric Lunch
for a light lunch. When he went
to look for the car it was gone.
In the car were papers and eff
fects which were much more
highly valued than the car itself.
One of the priced possessions
which the Clouds had not wished
to pack in the ordinary moving
was a clock which had been
part of his parents first outfit
when they began keeping house
sixty years ago. 1t has been run
ming continuously since then, and
keeping perfect time. Among 9TH
er things in the car were valu-
able dishes, and a number of di-
plomas, licenses to practice in the
states Of Montana, Illinois, Color
ado and California, and other val
liable papers. DR.. Cloud says he
would not have lost these things
for $1,000.
DR.. Cloud offered a reward of
800 for the return of the car and
contents, and the sheriff's Office
is working on the matter, but at
he time of going to press no
clue has been received either as
% the direction taken by the thief
IT as to who may have taken the
:ar.

MANY DISTINGUISHED SPEAKERS
TO HAVE PART ON BRIDGE DAY
FIVE BANDS TO PLAY-DAY-
LIGHT FIREWORkS-BIG
CROWDS COMING

Preparations are going forward
to make Bridge Day, July 8, a eel
ebration which will far outshadow
any previous c~elebrasion that the
town has had. All details of the
arrangements have not been work
ed out, but F. E. Rathert, chair
man of the committee in charge,
says that there will be plenty of
attractions. There will be prom
inent speakers, who will give adj
dresses Of various sorts.
Five banks will play during the
day. The famors Cowboy Band of
Terry that played in the Black
Hills the summer President Cool
idge spent his vacation there, will
be here in full cowboy costume.
The Browning Indian band will be
here, the Scobey band and the
Hindsale band, besides our own
Wolf Point high school band.
Although the program has only
tentatively worked out, the fol-
lowing distinguished men are ex-
pected to be here and to have
part in the program: Senator t.
j.. Walsh, Governor ]. E. Erickson.
E. ]. Flynn, Great Northern rail-
way official; o. S. Warden of the
Montana highway commission;
some member of the bureau Of
federal highways, and A. c. Stew
art. minister of highways from
Canada.
Daylight Fireworks
A novel feature of the program
will be the shooting off of day
light fireworks in the afternoon.
This part of the program will DC
cupy about an hour, and some rs
pieces will be shot off, including
aerial bombs, shells, etc. Daylight
fireworks is something unusual
and the novelty viii be enjoyed by
all who see the display.
The Bridge Day celebration Is
set at a time when the weather
is usually fair, and for that reason
IL ID CA t0Itd nat q q sc
will gather from a wide radius.
Scobey is not having a Fourth of
July celebration this year, but in
stead will cooperate with Wolf
Point by celebrating here. Doubt
less other towns are planning to
DO the same thing.
Bridge Being Used
The bridge, which was complet-
ed a month ahead of the date
specified by the contract is now
n general use and Southsiders are
finding it a great convent
ence in crossing the river. Good
roads in northern McCone
county make it an easy matter for
Southsiders to get to the bridge
any direction.
1t is expected that by the next
ssue of The Herald a detailed
Program of the days events may
given.
