spoke about the debt. Chris would
never present a detailed Statement
Of the money she had spent though
she was always promising to do SO
Norma's own accounting told hel
the sum was close to $1,000.
The 500 was the barest beginning

Most Of what Norma could carr

General Grant was a grand
whistler and it was from him that
the expression ITO wet your
whistle" came. You remember how
other generals complained to Lin
coin that Grant was whistling TO
excess and how Lincoln in his droll
way replied that If that were so all
he could say was that his other
generals did more whistling.

PlentywOod will have a $751;

construction are let, which will
occur in about three weeks time.

the bids for the purchase of these
were opened Tuesday evening when
the School board met for that pur-
pose. The State of Montana through
its state land fund were declared as
having the lowest and best bid, and

than expected, as the State offered
to purchase the bonds at par value.

Sale of Bonds is Called Off
BY Action of the
Court
(Montana Record Herald)

lN1oltdnd RecOru-herald
Montana's 900, institu-
tional bond issue was declared
invalid Tuesday by the state
supreme court because it violates
the state constitution in three re-
CARDS. Through the decision,
which is signed by four mem
bers of the court, Justice Ford,
dissenting. proposed work at II
state institutions is halted and
saes of bonds, effected July | by
the state board of examiners to
the Spokane Eastern company, is
invalid.
The S 3 5000, 900 bond issue was APP
proved by vote of the people at the
last November election. The meas
ure was drafted by the 1929 legisla-
ture to provide funds for building at
educational units, other schools UNI
der the state ard Of education and
institutions such as the state prison,
insane asylum and tuberculosis san
itarium, under the control of the state
board of examiners.
The last legislature, following man
dates of the act, allocated S2,O96. 500
for building purposes retaining the
balance for future use. 1t set the tax
rate at 5-12 of a mill to provide for
interest payments and sinking fund.
The three reasons the court gave
for holding the issue unconstitutional
are that the original act submitted to
the people did not create a debt on
the part Of the state, but left that du-
ty to succeeding legislatures; that the
bond issue was for several purposes,
rather than for a single purpose, as
specified in the constitution, and
that the original act failed to levy a
tax, but delegated that to the follow
ing legislatures.
The act was contested by Thomas
H. Herrin, Helena taxpayer. The suit
to test the validity of the bonds was
brought at the request Of a New York
of bond attorneys who refused
70 approve the issue until the state
,ourt had ruled.

ARCHER POS7OFF|CE
ROBBED SATURDAY

The Archer postoffice was rob-
bed on Saturday night, when
someone broke in the front door
and making their way to the post
office department located the cash
and stamps which was all taken
except some pennies. The total
amount stolen was about SIS.
Besides the money stolen, the cul-
prits had a taste for dill pickles as
they helped themselves to several
cans of these table de~licacies.
Sheriff Madsen has been investi-
eating the matter and the post office
Inspector has also been on the Job
but we cannot learn what conclusions
they have arrived at or if they have
any clues, but it is strongly suspect
that local talent staged the play.

Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Donald
son in Hospital in Ser
ious Condition

Harold Donaldson and his wife
and baby are in the PlentywOOd
hospital suffering from severe
burns. Although it is hoped no
fatalities will result, the situa-
ton is very grave, and especial
ly with Mrs. Donaldson
They had spent the fourth and
fifth of July at a lake northeast of
Regina and in company with severa:
other. Plentywood tourists were re-
turning to Plentywood. They were
following William Ewing's car, altho
he was some distance ahead and there
were no cars following closely. At
the correction jog in the road three
miles north of Raymond, as they turn
ed west a short distance from the N.
Locken farm, the big Buick touring
car in which they were travelling skid
ded and turned over on it's back VI
The heavy weight Of the q broke
the bows and the unfortunate people
were trapped in the front seat, the
back of which was resting on a stone
pile. The car caught fire immediate
ly and in spite Of frantic efforts on
the part Of both Mr.. and Mrs. Donald
SON they were unable to force their
way to safety. Fire was soaring their
limbs and they believed they were
doomed.
Car Arrives ON Scene
Kenneth Collins arrived in his car
and hearing the ream Of the &C.
cupants, in spite of the terrific heat,
rushed up and succeeded in opening
the door next to the driver seat and
with main force succeeded in pulling
Mr.. Donaldson and then got the baby
and Mrs. Donaldson out. All three
were badly burned and Collins rushed
them in his car to Raymond where
MIR. Donaldson was transferred to L.
E. Rue's car who had not checked out
from the u. S. Customs office yet.
Taking the fire victims to the Plen-
tywood hospital, DR.. Hall was called
and he found that Mrs. Donaldson's
legs were very badly burned to above
the knees, in fact, burned to the bone.
The baby's legs are also severely
burned but high hopes are held that
he will recover completely with the
exception of scars. Harold Donaldson's
right foot is deeply burned, and it is
questionable if the foot can be saved.
The shoe on that foot burned off
completely while he was still trapped
in the car. We understand all circu-
lation in both of Mrs. Donaldson's
legs as we'll as in Mr.. Donaldson's
right foot has completed stopped.

Man LOSES end OF
NOSE in 47H bRAWL

Willard McAllister of the south
Redstone territory lost his nose
in a fight with his step son-in-
law VIM. Cromwell at the Wolf
Creek hall on the night Of July
4th; the nose being bitten off
and completely severed.
1t appears that McAllister had been
drinking and was in a fighting mood.
He had been picking trouble with an
other party and Mr.. Cromwell was
setting down and not interfering.
However, the party who had been ar
guing with McAllister shook hands
with him and both sat down beside
Mr.. Cromwell, and it is reported that
McCallister again leaped to his feet
and attacked Cromwell and both roll
ed to the ground, and although the
fight lasted but a very short while,
when Cromwell rose from the ground
he spit out McAllisters nose and
startad running. Several bystanders
who had imbibed considerably, seeing
what had happended, Immediately
took up the chase and threatened to
lynch the running man. He was caught
several times and severaly beaten but
succeeded in eluding the angry crowd,
and disappeared. Search has been
made for him by the sheriff and
deputies as well as by neighbors and
relatives, but no trace can be found
of the man.
Mr.. McAllister is reported to have
struck down a bystander after get
ting up from the ground, and then,
although bleeding a great deal, tried
to locate the dismembered part of his
nose, but failed to find it, and then
getting into a car drove to Faxville
where he had the wound dressed.
He came to Plentywood on Sunday
and swore out a warrant for Crom-
well, charging him with mayhem.
Mr.. McAllister's face will be mar
red for life, but it is believed that
plastic surgery if resorted to will
remedy the horrifying Disagreement.
