JOURNALISM CLASS
AU REVOIR!

Summer is emerging again and with
it brings the closing of school This
year has been very successful, both
along the lines of education and
scholastic activities. Our athletic
teams have been as a whole more sue
cessful than those in the past few
years and we feel Justly proud Of
them.
A number Of people are being grad
uated this year They will be missed
a great deal when the fall term comes
around again. We are proud of these
people and feel confident that they
will show up as well in future en-
deavor as they did in high school.
The people of the community have
given us the impression that they
have been behind us in everything
that we have done this year. We fee
very grateful to them for their CO
operation.
With the closing of school the Tam
arack will be discontinued. to be re-
sumed with the beginning of schoo

Burglar Gets
One Year In
PenitentiarY
Aged Prisoner Says He Had
Had Only $18 Since Last
October.
DIFFICULT TO GET
ENOUGH TO EAT

Eddie Doherty of New York City,
who is said to be the star reporter of
America, says that All the real stories
break in police courts, hospitals and
similar places. World news is the
bunk
And perhaps Eddie is right--at least,
right part Of the time.
A human interest story broke in
district court in Libby this week.
1t had to do with the sentencing of
James Lloyd Maloy for attempted burg
larizing of the Weidner store at Troy.
Maloy was sentenced to year in the
state penitentiary having pleaded gull
ty. And he was happy man that the
sentence was not longer one.
Maloy evidently is not the criminal
type. He is a man some 60 years old.
He stated that in all those SO years,
this was the first time he had ever
been in trouble. Looking at the man and
listening to him, one is inclined to be-
lieve his statement
"All the money had had since last
October was $18," said Maloy- No one
knows who hasn't had experience how
desperately hard it has been to get
enough to eat-simply enough to keep
alive on
He was hungry and old and was
tempted to steal. He will pay for it with
year in the state penitentiary-
B. G. Erickson and Fred Birmingham
were given a judgment against Sam
Watt in the sum of $3.50 and costs.
The case grew out of dispute over
payment for work done for Watt. The
plaintiffs originally sued for a much
larger amount than the verdict Black
ford & Blackboard represented the
plaintiffs and Attorney VIM Herbert
the defendant.
Judge c. W. Pomeroy of Kalispeil
having returned from months vaca-
ton spent visiting in California, was
here to preside again at this session
of court

Death in Accident
!Auta Leaves Highway North of War
land and Smashes into Tree With
Terrific Force.

Six Libby young people are con-
valescing from severe Bruises cuts
and injuries received in disastrous
auto accident that happened early
Sunday morning when they were re-
turnin, from dance ut Rexford. The
sufferers from the mishap are the
Misses Tillie johnson, Constance Croft
teau and Betty Hargreaves and Lloyd

The young people were driving home
in the Johnson Studebaker sedan and
were few miles north Of Warland on
the state highway when the car left
the highway, tore lose a large rock by
the side Of the road and carried it
several yards beneath the car, the
auto then smashing into a tree. The
occupants Of the car were hurled for
ward by the terrific impact and all
more or less injured, although it is
said none Of their injuries will prove
serious. The young ladies were all
badly bruised and cut UP, ankles
sprained and otherwise injured. Miss
johnson sustained broken rib, along
with her other injuries.
Burpee, who was driving, was
TANNED against the steering wheel
with such force as to break the rim

proves that the injury is not serious
Ludvikson was badly bruised anc
shaken up, while Jewell sustained sew
eral cuts on a wrist.
Other cars coming home from the

all Of whom were in rather bad shape
at the time, and brought them to the
Libby hospital where their injuries
were dressed.
The car was totally wrecked It wa.
lowed into town and sold to w. II
Kemp for $50 as scrap. The instru-
ment board and gear shift were bad
ly bent by the impact Of the human
bodies that were hurled against then

the front seat was also bent forward
bv the impact of the bodies of the three
young people who were riding IN thu
rear seat and who were hurled tor

Glenn Smith Tells
Of Strange Antics
Montana Streams
Large Volume Of Water Suddenly
Drops Out Of Sight Only TO Emerge
rs Suddenly Farther Down Stream

HELENA, May aD-Leg-
endary lore Of lost lakes, mysterious
disappearing streams and Whopper
trout that live in deep waters fed by
unseen crystal springs, is being re-
vived in many spots in Montana this
spring, according to Glen A. Smith of
Missoula, president Of the Montana
Sportsmen's Association, who has just
returned from trips through national
forests in this portion of the state.
One of the wierdest scenes en-
countered Is that of the strange action
of the Blackfoot river at Lincoln
said MIR. Smith. About three miles
above the bridge at Lincoln, famed
summer resort. we swan our horses
across a rollicking stream of trout
water and it was more than belly deep
on the horses Yet this volume of water
has. dropped out of sight and at the
bridge, three miles below, the river
bed is dry. 1t pops into sight again a
short distance below the bridge, forms
stiff current and trout are abundant
1t seems as though the bottom had
dropped out.
''Landers Fork, in like manner, drops
out Of sight in several places below
the Byrnes ranch and the bridge In
places it runs bankful and then dis
appears only to resume its flow farther
on. Copper creek, tributary of Lam
ders Fork, is high. as is the Little
Blackfoot Other creeks, reported dry
early in the season are in most cases
well filled with water because of re-
cent heavy rains More rains are
needed, however, for the fish as well
as the grain CROP

Man Arrested For
COmpicitYin Klinke
Store Robbery
Whitefish Resident Hired to Haul
Stolen Goods From Fortine-Now
in Lincoln County Jail.

William Burkhart, proprietor of
pool hall at Whitefish is being held
in the Lincoln county Jail with the
probability of having to face charge
of completely in the burglarizing Of the
Klinke store at Fortine week or two
ago, all because he was foolish enough
to become mixed up in the affair at
ter the burglarizing had been done by
two other men.
According to Burkhart's admission,
he was hired to haul to Whitefish Ger
tain goods stolen from the klinke store
where the burglars planned to dis
pose OF it and where some OF it was
sold. Sheriff Baney went to White
fish Friday and arrested Burkhart and
brought him to Libby.
This Is another interesting in
stance Of how clews to a commission
of crime are often found and how
criminals are frequently apprehended
after one might suppose they had made
an easy getaway.
Readers of this paper will remem-
Der that few weeks ago there was
an item to the effect that the Klinke
store at Fortine had been burglarized.
The next week Fortine news notes
contained an item to the effect tina,
later 1t had been discovered that the
burglars had stolen several pairs OF
loggers' shoes, having removed the
shoes from the boxes and then placing
the boxes on the shelves. Therefore
the theft Of the shoes was not learned
Of until later.
Recently a salesman for the White
line Of loggers' shoes was in Libby and
learned from the j Neils Lumber com
pany that someone had stolen a few
pairs of shoes from them. The sales
man went to Whitefish in covering his
territory and learned there that sew
eral pairs Of White shoes had been Of
fered for sale to parties in Whitefish
The salesman at once wrote the Neils
people thinking it might be clue tc
their missing shoes This letter was a
once turned over to Sheriff Baney who
| wrote the chief Of police at Whitefisf
to investigate the matter and let hin
know. Later the Whitefish chief in.
I formed Baney that certain shoes il
question had been sold there, where
upon the Libby officer went to White
| fish, found that d number of pairs o
1 shoes had been sold to differen
parties, located mackinaw or tW'
that had been stolen from Klinke's ant
concluded that the shoes had also beer
taken from the Klinke store. Pursu.
ing his investigations he got trace 0
two men who, it is believed, robbed
the Klinke store. They, however, hat
disappeared before Baney got t
Whitefish, probably having been in
| formed that the officers We're afte
them. In his investigations at White
fish, Burkhart was connected with tn
affair and was taken into custody.
Sheriff Raney believes that the tW'
! men who robbed the Klinke store ais,
burglarized the safe of the Montan
4 meat market at Eureka. Burkhart,
is said, stated that the two men in
volved in the Klinke burglary ha
asked him to cash a check that late
| proved to be one Of the checks take
from the Eureka meat market safe.

Deputy Game
Warden Darlington
Writes About Game
Gives Interesting Notes on What Is
Being Done Over Lincoln County
Many Trout Taken From Lake

Deputy Game Warden VIM. ]. Dor
rington reports that P. V. Klinke OF
Fortine has had wonderful success with
the spawning Of native trout at his
hatchery near that place. MY eggs
were never in better shape and have
suffered very little loss. | will take
probably 100000 native eggs. ! did,
however, suffer some loss with my
Rainbows This was due to freezing Of
my Rainbow lake and not sufficient
water flowing thus causing lack OF
aeration This | will guard against an
other winter. / am learning from ex-
perience. 1t has been costly SO far but
| am learning something every day.
1t is to be hoped that from this valu-
able experience of Mr.. Klinke's, others
entering this same business may profit.
A tally taken at Killbrennan Lake on
the opening day Of the fishing season
showed 700 trout were caught. This
lake is spawning station and fishing
closes on September 1st. There is a
large supply Of trout in this lake,
which goes to show that those holding
the spawning concession live up TO
their agreement with the state in keep
ing these waters well stocked. The
limit of rs fish per day and not to be
in possession Of more than Is fish al
any one time is going to help out the
fishing a great deal in the future. Idaho
and Washington both have this same
limit and it is considered by sports
men to be plenty.
| Numerous small fish ponds are be-
ing constructed in Lincoln county TIN:
summer. Some of these will eventually
be commercial ponds and turned u
profit. Some are being built for sport
pleasure and food. There are lot Q
good locations in the county and thes'
should be developed and made to pro
duce q portion Of our food supply.
The sportsmans license is still u
demand. Jaqueth & Charnholm hav
sold out their supply and wired 70
an additional book. Until these arriv
they are using an extra book that wa
/ sent to the Game Warden.
