WOLVES OUTHIT
BROCKTON BOYS
WIN SECOND LEAGUE GAME
TN A WALK; PLAY AT
HOME SUNDAY

The county league ball game,
played Sunday between Brockton
and Wolf Point on the formers
grounds, was lop-sided as to score,
but was an interesting diamond
scrap for all that. The final fig
ures on the score book were 26 to
5 in favor of the Wolves. The Wis
itors' stick work was what over
whelmed the home lads. The
Brockton folks were surprised.
They could not understand how
Culbertson beat us the week be-
fore. Brockton will have a good
team when they get into condi-
ton and praetice. In or carly sea
son game they gave Culbertson a
stiff battle.
The Wolves lineup at Brockton
was, in the order of positions
Garfield, Martin, Brandon, Jacob,
Pennington, Nichol, Ross, Dietrich
and Femme. Peterson replaced Gar
field in the box in the 8th and
9Th.
The locals next game is here

Stampede Of Gold
Diggers To Canada

Just exactly what the facts NAV
be is impossible to know at the
time this is written, but rumor,
just mere rumor, says for citi-
zens of the near-north, in Scobey.
and in Saskatchewan in the Woody
Mountain region, a wild gold rush
was on for a few days this week.
A couple of enterprising Cana
dams let slip the news that gold
in rich quantities had been dis
covered near Woody Mountain. and
they had mining claims to sell.
each claim holding the possibility
of untold thousands. These gilt
edge investments were S165 each.
$50 of which went to the provin-
c1al government. The sales, &C.
cording to rumor, mounted to
some $500. And then the Cana
dian police presumably also
mounted) stepped In and took
charge of the gold mining bust
and the mining claim sales.

THREE TOWN TOURNEY

cepted the invitation of the SEQ
hey club to a three-town match on
Scobey's good course Sunday
Plentywood being the third club
represented. The wind was high
and the mercury not particularly
ambitious, especially in the fore
noon. Low cores were lot to be
expected. But the visitors enjoyed
the match and Scobey's hospital
ity for all that.
The result of the match was de-
cided by the totals of the eight
best scores by each club for the
IS holes. Scobey was winner with
1886; Wolf Point second with 759
and Plentywood third with 767.
Burgess of Wolf Point had the
low score of the day, So, Chapman
was second low among the Point
ers with 81; P~rendergast third
with 80. All these scores are a
dozen or more strokes above their
normal, fair weather games. Those
who went from here were: Rath-
ert, Chapman, P~rendergast, VANS
ley, Cook, DeWane, Barwise. Cat
lin, Erickson, Burgess, Brownlee.
The Scobey club will send a
team to Wolf Point next Sunday.

AMATEUR BANK BANDITS FAIL
IN SORRY ATTEMPT; CAPTURED
ONE is OLD RESIDENT OF
VIDA VICINITY; NOW IN
DAWSON co. JAIL

Half hearted attempts to hole
UP the banks at Vida and Richey
first on May 9Th and again on the
18th, resulted in the capture o.
John Peterson and Glen Campbell
ages about % and 80 respectively
Their crude plans and falterine
nerve marked them as soft anna
lures.
Last Tuesday they stopped in
front OF the bank at Richey, en-
tered and stood h~esitating at the
teIlers' wine o W, handkerchief
masks on their faces, guns in their
pockets. A girl assistant was the
only person In sight. She asked
them If there was something they
wanted. One of them was NUT
tering something about handing
over the money when the cash
fer, a man. appeared at the rear
door of the banking room, saw the
masks and guns and instantly
ducked out of sight.
Nerve Fails Them
The would-be robbers were a.
Harmed at the situation. They did
not know what might happen next
and decided to move first without
waiting for the other fellow. With
out gold, silver, currency or bonds
they climbed into their Chevy
car, which was without license
plates. and beat a retreat.
Several cars followed them. The
alarm was phoned to Vida and
Wolf Point and broadcast from
KICK. Every road and bridge was
guarded. But the bold rob
bers were not attempting to flee.
They hid away at an abandoned
farm six miles east of Vida. There
Peterson was captured the same
evening and Campbell the next
morning. Peterson, who has lived
lear Vida for Is years but who
been gone several years, adj
nitted to officers that it was he
md his pal who tried to enter
he Vida bank May 8, after cutting
he telephone wires. Richey is in
county and they were
aiken to Glendive and lodged in
all.

Visiting Cars Need
Good Hitching Posts

Last Sunday night the myster
ious disappearance of two cars OF
the Northside caused their owners
considerable anxiety, and, in at
least one of the cases the aid OF
the sheriff's office was enlisted
to locate the missing car.
When Elmer Hanger of Nashua
took his wife to Mrs. Ferguson's
hospital Sunday evening, he left
his a parked out in front. When
he went to leave some time later,
after the birth of a baby daughter.
the a was not to be found. Mrs.
Ferguson recalled at n other oc-
casfon when a car that had disap-
peared from in front of her home
and was found at the foot of the
hill. Search in that direction fail
ed to locate Mr.. hangers car. Of
ficers' search revealed that it had
not followed the straight and mar
row path when it had been blown
from its parking place, but had
turned to n side and parked be-
side a house.
There was another similar oc-
curance on another Northside Hill
the same evening.
In "the good old days" there
used to be a hitching post before
every home. A Wolf Point citizen
suggests that It might be well to
turn back to the customs of those
days. and erect a hitching post be-
fore every hillside home.
