Nation Faces
Heavier Burden

Mr.. Wood is having the
fight Of his life for re-elec-
ton. He is opposed by an
able and popular opponent.
The conditions, economically
in his district in Indiana are
pitiful. Gary is a dead city.
The district is Overrun by
the unemployed. The farm
ers are almost as much
aroused as those in Iowa.
The business men are groan-
ing under the weight of
taxation that is not sufficient
to balance the budget even
with the appalling increase
imposed for the purpose last
winter. The Treasury is
running $4OO,OOO,OOO behind
now, If the debtor nations
do not make their payment
this year the budget, which
contemplates these payments
will be thrown off just that
much Notwithstanding a
still heavier burden.
And so the transfer Of
the debts to Americans is
not popular in his district.
Any more than it is popu-
lar in any district between
the seas.
But Mr.. Wood is running
with the blessing and sup
port of the international
bankers who are behind Mr..
Hoover, and perhaps Mr..
Wood will explain to his
constituency just why these
financiers are aligning upon
his side.
And perhaps he can per-
suade Mr.. Hoover to say
definitely in unequivocable lie
language now, before the
election just what his policy
is to be in this regard after
the election.

DISCONTINUANCE OF MP.
SERVICE IS PROTESTED

Intentions of the Northern Pa
cific Railway company to discon-
tinue the passenger train service
on the Red Lodge and Bridger
branch lines, announced in a re-
cent bulletin of the state board of
railroad commissioners, will be
opposed by the citizens of Red
Lodge, the Red Lodge city coun-
Gil, and the board of Carbon coun-
ty commissioners. Protests against
the retrenchment action of the
railway are being filed this week,
including a protest by the Bear
tooth Boosters club, commercial
organization of the county seat
town.
Francis A. Silver, secretary of
the rail commission, on July %
announced that the Northern Pa
cific Railway company and the
Northern Pacific Transport com-
pany had applied for permission
to discontinue the daily passenger
trains No. 205 and No. 206, OPP
Grating between Billings and Red
Lodge. Application was also filed
for a class A motor carrier GER
tificate, to permit the railway to
substitute motor bus service for
the trains in transporting pass
engers, baggage, mail and ex-
Red Lodge daily news combined with Carbon County news., 1932-08-03

press baggage. A similar appli-
cation asked for discontinuance Of
trains 209 and 210 on the Bridger
line.
"Such substitution Of motor car
rier service for rail service will
result in large economies said
the company's application, while
the same or better service will be
given the public"
The final date set for the fill
ing of protests is August 8.
In petitions signed by several
hundred Red Lodge citizens, the
discontinuance was protested on
two points, that the past and fu-
ture business prospects of the
Red Lodge region do not warrant
the curtailment of rail service,
and that the plan to provide SER
vice for this community by motor
bus is impractical.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the mines in Red Lodge have been
closed" it is said, 1--WE have many
miners still employed in Bear
creek and Washoe. With the COM
pletion of the Red Lodge-Cooke
road from this city to the Yellow
stone park, Red Lodge in all prob
ability will be the largest and best
thriving summer resort in the
state. This region is n of fine
agricultural lands, and one that
contributes greatly to the railroad
and the state. The presence of
chromite ore in the region locsxz
as another of the future business
prospects"
In regard to the practically of
the proposed bus route, it was
pointed out that the state high
way from Billings to Red Lodge
is oiled only as far as Rockville,
near Silesia, and for the rest of
the distance is often in a rough
condition. After August "a, when
the highway department contracts
to regrade the Red Lodge-Robert
section, the highway is likely to
be torn up in the process of re-
construction, necessitating detours
and delay of all motor vehicles.
1t was further remarked that
poor service by the railway had
resulted in the small amount OF
rail travel between Red Lodge
and Billings. Train No. 205
makes the run in two hours and
20 minutes, while the average
time for a motorist is an hour
and a half. Suggestions of a

LEWIS SENTENCED
FOR BMDGER JOB
Pleads Guilty in District
Court to Bank Robbery;
Gets Ten Years

James C. Lewis, "a, came into
the district court at Red Lodge
Monday morning and pleaded
guilty to robbing the American
National bank at Bridger, July 6.
Judge o. F. Goddard sentenced
him to serve ten years at hard
labor in the state penitentia"y.
Lewis, in overalls but with
blonde mustache we'll trimmed, APP
peared with Attorney John G.

leniency on the part of the court.
Lewis today a accompanying
Deputy Tracy Mccall and Claude
Harrell to Deer Lodge.
No statement concerning the
robbery at Bridger, when $1,361
was taken, was made by Lewis in
court, and no further remarks
have been made by Milo Walker,
Bridger man who was arrested
with Lewis. Walker does not adj
init participation in the holdup
and is held in the county Jail for
trial at a later date.
The bank at Bridger was held
up at noon on Wednesday, July
6, by a lone bandit who forced
Miss Olga Campbell, cashier, to
hand over most of the available
currency. After Lewis drove out
of Bridger, he is said to have
picked up Walker.
The two were captured near Elk
Basin, Wyo., before dark on the
day of the robbery. Identified from
radio reports by Earl t. Keefer
and Howard Hawk, they were cap
tured by Sheriff John Albert and
Sheriff Frank Blackburn Of Park
county, Wyo.
Lewis claims Boston, Mass, as
his home town, having left there
in 1922. He met Walker in June
at Denver, Colo, and accompanied
him to Montana.

BANK ROBBER IS
SENT TO PRISON
Youthful Claude Harrell
Gets 10 Years For
Bridger Job

Nineteen-year old Claude Har-
rell, who was arrested July 20 at
San Diego, Calf, as a suspect of
the Edgar State bank robbery on
July II, 1881, in the district court
at Red Lodge on Monday pleaded
guilty to the felony and received
a sentence of ten years at hard
labor in the state penitentiary.
Today he started for Deer
Lodge in the custody of Deputy
Sheriff Tracy Mccall, little more
than a year since the time when
he came to Montana from his
home state of Oklahoma.
Young H%arrell, neatly dressed
in brown sweater and trousers,
came into the courtroom Monday
with Sheriff John Albert, who
had brought him as a prisoner
from California after extraditing
him from the custody of Sheriff
Ed Cooper of San Diego. At the
same time Harrell's brother Carl
Oma, %, was being brought to
Billings by Deputies Ed Penrod
and Dan Stephenson of Yellow
stone county, to answer charges
of bank robberies at Custer and
Worden last fall.
Information against Harrell
was entered by County Attorney
<. P. Conwell. After listening to
the youths plea of guilty, Judge
0. F. Goddard questioned him to
determine how he became in
volved in the robbery. In passing
sentence he expressed the SYM
pathy of the court, reminding
young Harrell that good behavior
ii lie penitentiary might reduce
his term of service. AS he left
the courtroom with the sheriff,
the slim blonde boy paused and
called back to the judge, THANK
you"
Speaking carefully, and with no
attempt at heroics, Harold told
the court the story of the robbery,
which was borne out by a state
ment previously given by the Har-
rell brothers to Sheriff Albert at
San Diego.
From their home at Lawton,
Okla, said Claude, the brothers
had gone to California to seek
employment. There they had re-
ceived a letter from Herman Ham
ilton, rancher of the Edgar vicin-
ity, who offered them jobs on his
place. They came to Montana
and went to work for Hamilton.
Relatives of Herman's took the
jobs WI had and that sort Of let
us out" said Claude, $50 we went
to Billings for a few days and
worked loading wool. We were
down there when Herman came
and propositioned US to rob the
bank at Edgar"
Several attempts were made to
steal an auto in Billings before
Hamilton transported the broth
ers back to the ranch, promising
to procure an automobile and
guns for the job. On the day of
the robbery, said Claude, HamiI-
ton returned from a trip to Bill
lings with a car, guns, nails to
scatter on the highway, and a

The section, to be built by the

boundary near Piney Dell and the
8.6 mile post on the route from
Red Lodge, to join Unit G of the
highway below the junction of
Rock creek and the Lake Fork.

ing. Originally it was planned the
state highway department would
build the complete 8.6-mile stretch
from Red Lodge to the federal
