Sidney Fair Secretary
On Good Will Tour

A. D. Thomas. secretary Of the
pichland county fair, was in Wolf
Point last Saturday and paid The
Herald office an interesting visit.
He is touring the northeast coun-
ties on a mission of good will and
common interest. Mr.. Thomas
succeeded Harold DePue as active
head of the Sidney fair. The Rich
land county institution has won
wide distinction as the biggest
county fair in the world. The tact
of the employment of a full time
salaried secretary goes far. toward
verifying the claim. 1t has surely
achieved splendid success and is a
great credit to the county and the
men behind 1t. Surrounding coun-
ties are beginning to cooperate
with Richland by placing county
exhibit booths.
The Roosevelt county fair will
be held early in September this
year, a week ahead of the one az
Sidney.

VANDALS ATTEMPT TO
WRECK COUNTY TRUCK
VALLEY Tribune. BainviIlel

aAi1 AA4BAAAGs a AAA1f
Sheriff Henry Lowe and County
Surveyor Chas. l.. Arrivee of Wolf
Point were official visitors in the
city yesterday afternoon investi-
eating the matter where some per-
son or persons, evidently with
criminal intent, placed emery dust
in the transmission gears and brak-
es of the county truck, which is To-
Gated here and operated by Herb
Detmer.
The truck had just undergone a
complete o~verhauling at a locaI
garage and had been completed
and delivered on SATURDAY. after
noon. On Monday Mr.. Dettmer
took it out to do some road drag
ging and discovered that there
was something wrong. An examin-
alton disclosed that emery dust
had been placed in the vital work
ing parts of the machine, and, had
it not been for the timely discovery
n gears anu OlHeT parts WOulu
have been completely ruined in a
short time. The matter was re-
ported to the county commissioners
who were in session at the time
and Mr.. Lowe and Mr.. Arrivee
were sent down to investigate.
We are unable to understand the
workings of a persons mind that
would resort to such a contempt
ible trick. If it was for spite or
revenge for some fancied wrong
it seems to us that it was a very
poor way of venting their spleen.
The property that would have been
ruined by the act belongs to the
county and the county is the one
to suffer. lot any particular indi-
viduaI. We sincerely hope that
the guilty party is apprehended
and brought to task for his dast-
ardly act.

Strange changes have been made
this week to things that have
been fixtures on Main street for
a string of years. The building
until recently occupied by the
post office, and now the property
of Connie Shenkenherger. is being
entirely made over to serve, it is
reported, as a new chain store.
No announcement has been given
out by the people back of it. They
are said to be from Medicine
Lake.

started in July, 1917. in part of the
space vacated by The Herald Of

location. is a thing of the past.
The fixtures are stored.
Mrs. Shenkenberger has moved
her beauty shop into the Liberty
building where she has a much
more attractive place.
Connie, the ballplayer of yester-
year, has quit b%arbering and gone
to farming on his land across the
river. He will specialize in alfal-
ia, and the other day when the
reporter interviewed him he was
wearing his advertisement on his
chin.

SENATOR c. F. CHLOE
RETURNS To w. POINT

State Senator c. F. Gilboe of
Waller, Pondera county, paid Wolf
Point a visit Thursday. During a
call at the Herald office he told
the story of how near he came to
becoming a Wolf Pointer instead
Of a Valierian.
In 1912, the news of Wolf Point,
the town Of destiny on the Fort
Peck reservation, having spread
to Wisconsin, Mr.. Gilboe came
here with the full intention of
putting up a building and open
ing a general merchandise store.
It was a pretty crude layout with
a few rough buildings and the
Great Northern depot in a box
car. The government was sell
ing lots and the gentleman from
Wisconsin began looking over
sites. Soon he fell in with a
mother stranger bent on the same
mission as himself, a mercantile
business in the embryo city of
Wolf Point. 1t was A. j. Isachsen
who Later formed a partnership
with o. c. Johnson. Nh. Chloe al
so met John Listerud, S. T. Cogs-
we'll and John Coffey. They were
just about the works so far as
the business men of the place
were concerned. Isachsen was on
the ground first and the prospects
did not look good for two new
stores. The surrounding country
was brown bleak and unsettled.
There was no good water at that
time, which was a serious object
ion. He decided to give Wolf
Point the go-by.
Another place Mr.. Gilboe had in
mind was Waller in an irrigated
district. He went there, and was
sold on the place at. once The
country was level, the fields were
green, the town was claiming a
thousand people. He settled, went
into business and has prospered.
But he admits that Wolf Point has
had a remarkable development and
has outstripped Waller in size 81
have followed your progress and
felt a peculiar interest in your
town and country. Only for the
fact that 1 found Mr.. Isachsen
here ahead of me, with the pur-
pose of starting a store, / would
have located here and probably
would be one of you today" He
had never been here since 1912
Senator Gilboe was joined here
by Senator Schnitzler of Froid
and they started on a trip OIL some
special business they have in
hand.

CONCERT
OF HIGH CLASS
ANNUAL SCHOOL MUSICALE
WITH 1859 PERFORMERS
COMPLETE SUCCESS

The annual musicale and concert
of the Wolf Point school music
department Wednesday evening
was n TO which the audience
listened with mingled feelings of
appreciation and pride. 1t is prob
able that this is the best program
that the music department has pre-
sented to date.
From the time of the opening
selection of the Junior band to the
concluding number of the high
school band concert, the program
moved without a hitch and with
out undue waiting. This fact is
worthy of mention since there
were 159 students who took part
in the various numbers.
Favorable comments upon the
program have been heard on every
hand, a number Of people saying
that the high school band gives a
more finished performance even
than it did last year and that it
compares favorably with a number
of college bands. Ben Veldhuis'
baritone solo with band accompani-
ment was excellent. But the part
of the program which caused the
most surprise was the junior band,
many of whose members had new
er played before the beginning of
this school year. Their playing
was considerably ahead of what
one would expect and is a credit
to Mr.. Simon's teaching. 1t is
from this band that the high
school hand will have trained re-
cruits to step into the places of
those who graduate. From hear
ing the two bands playing sepa-
rately and together in the S0-piece
ensemble the listener can picture
the Wolf Point band under the
leadership of Director Simon as a
fluid rather than a static organi-
cation. changing yearly yet always
a we'll organized well balanced
whole. Mr.. Simon has received
congratulations on his
bands.
The boys and girls glee Clubs
and the mixed chorus pleased the
audience with their group of
songs The vOioeS harmOniZed well
and the songs were clear and dis
tinct. They reflect the excellence
of Miss Settles training.
The operetta an Birdland' by
80 girls and boys from the third
and fourth grades was p~leasingly
we'll done, and attractively staged.
The teachers, Mrs. KurtZ and Miss
Hagen, as well as those who took
part had spent much effort and
time in preparation for it.

SPAIN TO FORM
new REPUBLIC
KING ALFONSO, LAST OF HIS
LINE YIELDS TO POP
ULAR DEMAND

News from Madrid says that
King Alfonso, the last of b Bour'
bons. abdicated at six o'clock Tues
day evening.
The monarch. who has reigned
in this ancient Spanish capitol Tor
more than a quarter of a century
has bowed to the sweeping de-
mands of a republic for a republic
that his subjects voiced last Satur-
dav and has stepped out.
Niceto Alcala Zamora, Republic
an leader. who not so many weeks
ago was in jail for his activities,
is provisional president.
Although the kings abdication
has been an unquestioned out
come of the political crises for the
past few days. it was not until the
last moment that he stepped from
power.
At 4:45 D. m. Alcala Zamora a
found it necessary to to send an
uItimatum to the kings ministers,
saving that unless a republic were
formally accepted within an hour
the republicans would not be re-
sponsibIe for the consequences.
The hour went by and then just
Is minutes after the ultimatum
had expired, the a%bdication of the
king became a reality.
The announcement was made eX-
actly at six O'Clock after a final
session with the cabinet in the
royal polace.
A republican government with
Alcala Zamora as president took
charge Immediately.
With the proclamation of a re-
public at Barcelona and similar
,proclamations at Saragossa, San
Sebastian and other cities. it be-
came a certainty that the king
would have to go.
All Tuesday afternoon rumors
that the king had actually abdlca-
ted flew thick and fast, but it was
not until six o'clock that night
that Alfonso's reign came to The
end which for MANY years he had
successfully avoided in the face OF
frequent crises.
The king signed his abdication
at 6 o'clock sharp.
AS he left the cabinet o he
embraced his ministers with con-
siderable emotion.
He said that he left the throne
with his conscience tranquil. hav-
ing always worked for the welfare

cording to the information brought
out by Investigations and the evil
dence introduced at the hearing.
According to the county attorney
Aereboe came to Wolf Point in
company with two men FRIENDS.
He cashed a check at the First
National for $500, and says he had
cashed a pay check before n
men and the women defendants
in the case were at the Neal room
ing house on Third street, Wolf
Point. Late in the evening Acre
boe's men friends left the room
ing house to prepare to return to

Hank Fromby came to the room
ing house with a car. loaded III
Aereboe, who was just about dead

and raised repeated disturbances.
The police was called and Ann
Hendrickson was arrested. She
gave her roll of bills, containing
a number of twenties, to Mrs. Nc
Hugh. landlady, for safe keeping
and asked her to count the money
Mrs. McHugh remarked on the gen
