for the murder Of her husband, j. E.
Arnot, former Glasgow banker, her
attorney, George E. Hurd of Great
Falls, told a jury in district court
here today.

The attorney related that two sis

hospitals for the insane, one in North

In November Collins was sentenced
to serve 60 days in the county Jail at
Great Falls on a federal conviction.
He was also assessed a fine of 500
and during his incarceration there the
appeal on his former conviction came
up in the Supreme Court at Helena.
After having served the full 60 days
as a federal prisoner he chose to serve
out his fine also, and on Monday at
midnight his full time had been serv-
ed there. A bench warrant had been
given to Sheriff Shields at Great
Falls. Sheriff Madsen had intended
leaving for Great Rails on Monday to
take Collins to the ~penitentiary but
that morning he was called by long
distance from Great Falls by the sher-
iff there, saying that he had to take
another prisoner to Deer Lodge and
,, if the commitment papers were sent
him that he would do this and save
travelling expense from Plentywood
to Great Falls. The Commitment pa
pers arrived in Great Falls on Tues
day morning but the prisoners were
not taken to the p~enitentiary until
yesterday.
From now on Mig Collins will be
known by a number instead of as the
self styled king of the underworld.

According to law, as soon as a per
son is arrested, any fine subsequently
imposed becomes a lien on such prop

gave a mortgage for $1,000 on this

two attorneys are all made defend

ment of this phrase of the testimony
he said.
He declared Mrs. Arnot has not
been able to recall events in her life
since last June and that she does not
appreciate the gravity of the charges
against her.
1t was about the first of last June,
he said, that she learned that her hus-
bands financial affairs were in a pre-
carious condition. She believes, he
said, that every person in Glasgow
is arayed against her and has been
unable to talk of only her boys and
her home since her arrest. She has
suffered from severe headaches, was
unable, for long periods, to recognize
anyone, had to be confined in a

HIGH SCHOOL WIN
Two GAMES, LOSE
One IN PAST WEEK
Local Basketeer's Redeem
Themselves on Home
Floor

Last Thursday evening the local
high school ball tossers won a hard
fought, game from the Brockton high
school quint on the local court by a
score of 26 to IL. The game was
slow and listeless throughout, neither
team playing their usual brand of
ball The locals took the lead from the
first of the game and were never
headed.
On the following evening the High
school first and second teams journ-
eyed to Froid. The second squad came
home with a a to II count under their
belts, while the first string dropped a
9 to "a decision to the fast Froid
quint. The score at half time was 6 to
8 in favor of the Froid boys but in
the second half Froid's long shot ar
lists connected time and again from
center territory to safely put the
game on ice.
Tuesday night Of this week the
Froid teams played a return game on
the local floor. Plentywood proved to
be their superiors throughout both
contests. The "A" squad winning 10
to % and the "B" squad 6 to 8. Both
games were fast and complete with
thrills from start TO finish.
Friday night the boys go to Gull
bertson where they will battle the
mainline quint. Plentywood won a
1924 count from them on the local
floor some time ago and so a close,
good game should be expected Fri
day.

Honor System
Will be Used
In Assessing

The Honor system of assessing will
again be used in Sheridan county
this year. Regular field deputies
were employed in 1880 which gave the
assessor data upon which he can base
and compare assessments for this
year, especially in reference to i'm
provements. The Honor system keeps
down expenses and will reduce cost
of assessing the property between
$500 and $4,000 over what it cost
when field men are employed. How
ever; it becomes necessary at inter
walls to have field deputies make a
complete check up.

PIRATES SHOW
UP AS MENACE
TO BROOKLYN
BY LEO H. PETERSEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, July 25. U.H-The
Pittsburgh Pirates, who all but blew
their championship hopes during
the first half of the season, are
proving a serious menace to Brook
lyn's bid for the 1881 National
league pennant.
1t took superb relief hurting by
Larry French to turn the Robins
back yesterday, 8 to Z. Brooklyn,
after pounding three Pirate pitchers
for 81 hits, faced French in the
ninth with the bases loaded, no one
out and only one run needed to tie
the score. French retired the first
man to face him on a pop fly and
forced the next batter to line into a
double play. Lefty O'Doul, who
made life so miserable for the Chi
cago and st. Louis pitchers few
days ago, continued his brilliant
hitting with five hits in as many
times at bat.
st. Louis increased its leadership
to eight full games by taking both
ends of a doubleheader from Phila-
delphia, 10 to 0 and Z to 2. Flint
Rhem allowed the Phillies only four
hits in the opener, while Burleigh
Grimes was the master in the
nightcap.
Chicago advanced to within half
game of second place with to l
victory over the Boston Braves. Root
yielded only four hits while the
Cubs, after being shut out for seven
innings, scored three runs off Can't
well in the eighth on three hits,
sacrifice and a base on balls.
Benny Frey pitched the Cincin-
natl Reds to a S to victory over
New York, the defeat dropping the
Giants to fourth place, half
game behind the Cubs.
Leroy Mahaffey allowed only
three hits in pitching Philadelphia
to 2 to verdict over Cleveland
in a game that was cut short to
six innings because of rain. The
victory, coupled with Washington's
open date, increased the AS leader
ship in the American league to 101.
games.
New York came from behind to
nose out Detroit, scoring three runs
in the last of the ninth to win, 6 to
5. Hogsett held the Yankees to five
hits during the first eight innings

The announcement that there will

HARVEY-DUNDEE
TO BATTLE FOR
WALKERS TITLE
BY VIRGIL PINKLEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, July 25. U.P)-British
boxing fans believe that Len Har-
vey, Britian's middleweight cham
poin of the roped arena will prove
Vince Dundee's "guv-nor' when the
two meet in an outdoor match at
White City Monday, July 27.
Jeff Dickson is promoting the
fight which is expected to estab-
lish the leading contender for
Mickey Walkers relinquished mid
dleweight crown.
The fight is Dickson's second big
outdoor venture and should prove a
money maker for the young Am
erican promoter, although the fight
may not draw as large a crowd as
the Stribling-Scott battle at VIM
bledon. Recently Dickson arranged
several fights that left him on the
wrong side of the ledger. Jeff hopes
to back a real winner in the Dun
dee-Harvey encounter.
During the past SIX weeks Har-
vey has won three fights and estab-
lished himself in British ranking as
lllC Pi illlQQlCWClBllI Ill Vic
world. His last bout resulted in
three round knockout victory over
the Welsh champion, Jerry Daley.
Harvey has been in serious train
ing for the Dundee fight since
July l..
Dundee met Mercel Thil in Paris
on July IL and is reported to be in
fine shape for his coming fight with
Hervey. The American Italian
holds two decisions over Harvey. In
both cases Harvey failed to force
the fighting and he seldom led
Harvey's recent fight against
Jack Hood impressed the critics
more than any fight the west
countryman has won in the past
three years. Harvey actually forced
the fighting and kept on top most
of the time.
Dundee's biggest obstacle will be
the point lead Harvey is almost GER
tain to pile up by virtue of his left
hand. In British rings, a gentle tap
on the ribs or the nose counts for
just as much on the score sheet as a
lusty punch over the heart or into
the pit of the stomach. Harvey has
long arms and is a good boxer. He
does not carry a knockout blow of
great significance!
