STORE BREAKERS
TRY THEIR LUCK

Wednesday night there was
some dirty work along back alleys
that had the appearance Of being
partly the work of boys and partly
the laundering OF a drunk.
Bert Norby's Sweet Shop was the
only place to which an entrance
was gained. The glass in an un-
barred window was smashed. A
few Canadian coins, a dollar in
American change, and eatables
were taken. One cash drawer was
overlooked. Mr.. Norby thinks it
was undoubtedly kids work. Some
of the Lunch stuff taken was drop
when the culprits were scuttling
out through the hole made in en-
tering.
Entrance was attempted, it is
thought, at the Huxcol Drug store.
The place has been visited SER
eral times and yeggs are now
barred" so far as the rear end
is concerned. Providers were heard
the same night around e. o. Ham
berg's place, (the White Jewelry
%store). The whole family, four peo-
pie, reside in rooms in the rear
part of the building. Somebody
snapped on the lights when they
heard the providers but that did
not friphten them aWay. They
stuck around and finally pulled a
window off the fuel shed, a leanto
of the building. That was about
enough, so Mr.. Hamberg phoned
the police. Chief Stanley and
Night Watch Terpe arrived in
three minutes but the fellow out
side had decided his latch key did
not fit and made a getaway. The
believe it was the antics
Of a drunk.

OFFICERS TAKE
BAD MAN INK"
ARKANSAS CLAIMS LITER AT
TER FOUR YEARS OF
LIBERTY

A. ]. Brooks and Shelby l.. Tod
hunter, Jr., arrived here from Lit
tie Rock, Ark. last Friday and Sat
urday nights, Brooks coming Fri
day, to identify and take back to
the Arkansas state prison, Ray
mond Cole, alias Roy Nix. Brooks
Is a former warden Of the prison
and is now on special duty. He
resigned his position five years
ago on account of i'll health. Tod
hunter, a youth, is son of the pres
ent warden.
They took Cole away on No. 4
Sunday morning. They class him
as desperate, took no chances.
Irons were put on his wrists and
a heavily loaded bag was chained
attached to the bracelets. Cole had
employed an attorney, H. N. Mar
ron, but decided not to oppose ex-
tradition, because a cinch case Of
holdup with a gun was against him
here and he would be held to fin
iSh his life term in Arkansas af-
ter serving here. Like all convicts
he expects to be paroled after a
few years. He told The Herald re-
porter he was going back to make
good and get out in four or five
years.. He admitted he was sent
up for first degree murder, but
like all of them he had had a dirty
deal all through. The killing oc-
Cured, he said, at a drunken coun-
try dance. A wealthy father saved
him from the chair, then complete
ly quit him. He showed consider
able nee and feeling for his
young wife and two year old
daughter, His wife visited him at
the Jail last week. She was a
Homestead girl that Cole ran away
with soon after he reached these
parts the year he escaped, 1927.
They returned in about a year and
he has been rowing ever since,
here awhile then gone on myster-
ious journeys. When he got drunk
and shot up and held up a Wolf
Point joint November % it proved
his undoing. He was arrested by
Ford Monroe at Brockton and
brought to the county Jail. TIE
tipped off his identity himself.
Former Warden Brooks, when
interviewed, told quite a different
version of Coles case. He was con-
victed when 81 and began his life
term in 1922, that much was the
truth. But it was his youth, not
a rich parent, that saved him from
the electric chair. His father was
a worthless, mountain moonshiner

"A CHRISTMAS BOXES
Distributed THIS YR.

Forty-four Christmas boxes
were packed and delivered this
year. Various organizations and
individuals co-operated in the en-
terprise. The Woman's club made
toys, Mrs. Arrives Sunday school
class collected books and toys, the
Masons, whose custom it is to dis
tribute Christmas boxes, went in
with the Women's club this year,
so that there might be a wider dis
tribution with no overlapping of
efforts.
Various individuals donated toys
and other articles to go in the box
es. 1t would be impossible to men
ton all who helped to spread
Christmas cheer in this way. Earl
Maltby donated a lamb, P. E. Pen
ner donated bottled milk to go in
the boxes, Amos Shrader a baby
beef. Some boxes were sent to
quite a distance in the country;
some went in town. A few people
who have been on the Women's
club Christmas list in previous
years, did not this year receive
boxes. This was not because of
any intended slight, but because
families with little children yer
given first consideration.

Catholic Christmas
Program Interesting

The Christmas program of the
Catholic church was held at the
K. of c. hall Sunday afternoon
and was attended by a large
crowd. 1t was impossible for The
Herald to obtain a complete pro-
gram, but more than 90 of the lit
tie tots took part with recitations.
Then there were songs by a girls
chorus, a boys chorus and a mixed
chorus of young people. Katherine
and Marian Johnson sand a duet,
Norbert Dougherty, Larry DeWane
and Keith Krebsbach, all sang
solos.
At the end of the program Santa
Claus appeared with a treat for
each child. The K. c. hall was
packed.

Winter Like This
Twenty Years Ago

Dad" Bishop of the Sand Creek
country and his sol A. e. came
to town Wednesday to dispose OF
about so chickens and do some
Christmas shopping. "Have you
ever seen weather like this at
Christmas timer" Mr.. Bishop was
asked.
Twenty years ago." he said,
they were cutting hay between
Christmas and New Years out at
Bob Steffensen's place. The river
never really froze over that win
ten, and they were running n
ferry boat all winter. There was
no snow until the latter part Oh
February"
What kind of a crop dld you
have after such a winter, was
the next question. Zine, he SAID,
"Kirt Kellogg had a piece OF rye
so tall that when the cattle got
into it, you couldn't see them un-
less you were on horseback. me
grass was long, too"
Perhaps Montana weather goes
in 20 year cycles, instead OF the H.
year cycles outlined by one VIM

MORATORIUM
IS APPROVED
PAYMENTS WILL RESUME
NEXT DECEMBER UN-
LESS EXTENDED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-The
one-year inter-government suspen-
sion of war-debt and Preparations
payments today bore its final of
fetal sanction and was fully in eff
feet.
The last step was taken by the
senate last night. 1t approved the
house resolution of ratification by
a majority ever greater than the
one mustered by it's companion
chamber. Despite two days of fl
cry argument against it, SO sen
ators approved and only a dozen
opposed.
The payments already have been
suspended.
The suspension will continue to
July /. Next Dec. Is the payments,
barring an extension, will be re-
sumed.
One important element of the
situation as it now stands, how
ever, is that the approved resolu-
ton recorded the congress as utter
ly opposed to any scaling down o.
cancellation of the war debts due
to this country. That is declar-
alton of it's present will, backing
up widespread individual asser-
tions by prominent legislators.
This congressional declaration,
however, is made in the face of
widespread conviction, expressed
by the president, Secretary Mel
lon, outstanding f%inanciers and 9th
ers that some further remission ap-
pears inevitible.
The opponents of the moratorium
did not miss the point. Recurring
constantly in their virulent attacks
was the prediction that this one
year moratorium was a fore-run-
ner of an extension, or a reduction
in the debt total, OF even an at
tempt at cancellation.

CONGRESS QUITS
OVER HOLIDAYS
WILL RECONVENE JAN. 4th-
EXPECTS SESSION TO
LAST TILL JUNE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Fif-
teen days the new congress has
labored and the leaders are well
pleased with the progress their
forces have made.
Today the members began a ~
day vacation, a lull preceding the
really serious grind on important
legislation which will occupy them
until next June. They have success
sfully negotiated the first hurdle,
that intergovernment moratorium
whose opposition was mostly vocal.
They face now the long road
of domestic economy's legislation,
staked clearly with a list of mark
ers erected by President Hoover.
Many of the legislators have dis
played a great willingness to speed
the program; many in fact are
foregoing vacations at home to
stay here and prepare the bills
against the reassembling of con-
gress on Jan. 4.
Except for the unsolved struggle
over the electing of the president
pro tempore of the senate, both
houses have successfully negotiat-
ed organization work. Despite the
overturn which brought Democrats
into house control, and the ac-
c~ompanying interparty troubles, all
the committees are formed. They
are clicking smoothly on their
way.
This is what congress has &C
complished to date:
Ratified the moratorium.
Passed a $780, 900 900 appropria-
ton for the veterans administra-
ton, and some additional items
for employment services.
Pushed consideration of the
$500, 900 900 reconstruction corpor-
alton in committee to the point
that it can be brought out for ac-
ton soon after reconvening.
The house passed an sent to the
senate a bill to make 800. 900. 900
available for farm land bank loans.
The senate confirmed
nominations and initiated several
new inquiries.

GREAT MASS MEETING ADOPTS
PROTEST AGAINST NEW TERMS
DEPT. LEASING STIPULATfONS
WOULD HURT STOCK
INDUSTRY.

The county court room was pack
ed to capacity last Tuesday by
mass meeting Of stockmen, farm
ers. businessmen and a delegation
of Fort Peck Indians. Many more
came. and went away because they
could not get within hearing dis
lance of the speakers. 1t was a
mass meeting called to consider
the newly adopted leasing stipul'
lations promulgated by the Indian
department for all the Indian res
ervations.
Alex Sansaver was elected chair
man, Charles Gordon was elected
secretary. The chairman opened
the meeting with a few remarks
setting forth its purpose. Among
those who addressed the meeting
we're Fred Fear, manager OF the
FRYE Cattle company, John Etchart
of Valley county, Meade Steele,
spokesman for the Indians, VIM.
Mindeman, farmer, Theodore limbs,
Daniels county stock man. Many
others spoke briefly.
The burden of all the talks was
that the new regulations ana
terms, originally compiled for for
est reserves, were entirely insult
ed to Indian reservations that have
been opened to settlement. me
six-months lease provided for, at
the same rates formerly charged
for n year, would leave ranchers
without a place to range tnear
stock in winter. A winter lease
would double the grazing charges
and be prohibitive. Stock men, big
or small, could not pay such charg-
es at present prices of sheep and
cattle. The power Of attorney re-
uuired OF the Indians, ii given,
would deprive them of all control
of their land. 1t would be wholly
impracticable to attempt to com
plv with all the regulations strict
ly.
The chairman called for an ex-
preston of all those present by
the raising of hands. The result
was a unanimous vote against the
new stipulations with 1853 voting.
The chairman requested each d.
vision of the meeting to name a
committee to draft protests. Tne
following were chosen:
Indians - Charlie Hall, Otto
Browning, Meade Steele.
Commercial Club-Charles Cor
don, H. N. Marion, Ed Camrud.
Stockmen-John Etchart, George
Thompson, Fred Fear.
Farmers-Theodore limbs, A. +.
Toavs, VIM. Mindeman.
The resolutions and formal pro-
tests drafted were read to the
meeting and approved.
The chairman and secretary were
to certify to the reso-
buttons and have copies printed.
Lack of space prevents publish
ing the full text of the protests IN
this issue. Copies of them will be
taken to a similar meeting to be
held at Poplar next Monday.

I'VE Shall Not Pass This Way Again"

Years pass with neither halt nor haste,
And this Observation-Disclosures
With all its evil, all its waste,
And all its pain will soon be done.
The deeds we've done, or bad or good,
We may regret but that in vain;
We cannot change them if we would:
eve shall not pass this way again"
But there are lessons, it is true,
In these same deeds, or good or bad:
The coming nineteen-thirty-two
May be the greatest year we've had.
But we must labor for the prize;
Do we'll our tasks each transient day,
And keep this line before our eyes,
eve shall not pass this way again"
Ambitions toll is ~tireless zest:
Just one mis-step may end your climb.
Each day awaits your very BEST
That day with less is wasted time.
Where winds the p%rairie's lonely trail,
Where cross the crowded paths of men,
Remember, you who would not fail,
1--WE shall not pass this way again"
