magic touch of water. He told
what had already been done aud

Tough spoke in favor of the pro-

he would use his best endeavors
to show results or the west III

LINDBERCEI BOY
IS KIDNAPPED
$4,000 RANSOM DEMANDED
FOR FAMOUS INFANT
TAKEN FROM CRIB

kidnapping of the 20-months old
son of Col. and Mrs. Charles A
Lindbergh Tuesday evening from
the family home near Hopeland, N.
j., held the attention of the world
Wednesday and Thursday. The
baby was taken from his crib some
time between 1880 and 10 o'clock
Tuesday evening. A note left in
the crib demanded $4,000 ransom,
which the Lindberghs are ready
to pay to have their o returned
to them.
The child had been suffering
with a V cold for several days
and concern was felt lest exposure
on the raw windy night of the kid
naping might make him worse.
The windows of the second floor
nursery were opened and the
wooden shutters were usually
hooked. On Tuesday night, Mrs.
Lindbergh found that one of the
wooden shutters was so warped
that it could not be hooked. 1t
was through this window that the
abductor entered, climbing up a
constructed sectional lad
der. Evidently the man had been
gloved and either in his stocking
feet or his shoes had been covered
to mask a clear-cut impression of
his shoe. These tracks led toward
the main road where they were

POPLAR WINS NORTHEAST TITLE
IN CLASSIC GAME WITH WOLVES
1000 PEOPLE CROWD w
GYM; RESULT IN DOUBT
TILL LAST SECOND
Poplar "a. Wolf Point %.

It was another of those never
To- be forgotten, classic clashes
that have made Wolf Point and
Poplar famous over the state
athletics, politics, court trials. 1t
was Poplar's turn to win and just
the slightest fraction of an ounce
toward the outside Of the rim turn
ed it.
The brightest feature of the
event was that in the whole series
of inter-town battles there was
never one quite as clearly fought,
with as good feeling during and
after the excitement on the part
of the fans of both towns.
There are no alibis or ifs. The
Friday night game was the de-
cisiye game and the Poplar boys
won it. They are by far the best
team Poplar ever had and every
body in Wolf Point wishes them
the speed and power to go through
to the finals and win at Bozeman.

SUPREME COURT FINDS
FOR UTILITIES COMPANY

The United States supreme
court has rendered a decision
against the Montana public service
commission and in favor Of the
Great Northern Utilities company
of Shelby.
The Utilities company made a
rate of 20 cents on natural gas.
The state public service commits
sion brought suit to compel a
higher rate. A state court decid-
ed in favor of the Utilities COM
pany and the state commission ap-
pealed the case to the supreme
court with the above result. The
case attracted wide attention be-
cause of the Importance Of the
principle at issue. The state com
mission has in other instances
ordered rates on utilities raised
when competing companies com
planned. The decision appears, in
effect, to withhold power from the
Dtate beard t5 regulate minimum
rates, and is of vast Importance
to many communities now paying
what they consider to be exorbit-
ant rates on gas. 1t is pointed out
by the protesting cities that the
cost of many commodities has
been reduced and that the cost OF
living will have to be cut to tit
the reduced purchasing power OF
The people If it remains possible
to maintain homes and operate
business concerns.

THAN USUAL; BANQUET
WE'D. EVENING

The Fourth annual mid-wintel
Indian fair, held at Poplar Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday o
this week, brought out an array o.
exhibits that surpassed those o.
previous years. The program Of
events was published in last
weeks Herald, and no attempt
will be made this week to cover
every part on the program.
The exhibits were a surprise,

poor garden year as well as a poor
grain year. There were shown
corn, onions, carrots, a pumpkin,
ETC., canned goods, baked gools,
beadwork and sewing and other
examples of handicraft.
Attractive Exhibits
The booths were attractively

the booth. The several chapters
represented in the Wolf Point dis
trict of the Fort Peck agency had
exhibits in this booth, including
the Mitchell chapter, the Longfox
chapter, Frazer, and the Indian
Women's clubs of Wolf Point and
Frazer. There we're no prizes CIV
for booths, although the Wolf
Point booth attracted considerable
attention. There were a number
of first, second and third places on
individual exhibits won by people
from the west end of the reser-
vation. It Is hoped to have a list

Poplar

POPLAR scored the first basket.
Wolf Point led at the half 13 to
II. Poplar came back with a rush
in the third quarter to take a good
lead and exhibit the versatile style
oe rlov made noseible nv their
larger floor and higher ceiling.
The Wolves are famous finish
ers. In the final period they fought
with desperation that twice tied
the count. Weeks took command
of the situation. He spurred his
team mates to a dizzy pace and
shot two difficult overland baskets
and held big Ramstad as no other
center can. The gun found the
Wolves fighting under their W
basket for another counter to tie
the score.
The ten regulars played clear
through and each shot one or more
baskets from the floor. Poplar
had the team play that kept the
ball in their possession o than
half the time and made many tries
from the field. The Wolves had
the edge in individual play and
accuracy.
The game was ably and fairly
refereed by officials from Sidney
and Wibaux.
The teams have met four times
this season. Poplar won on their
W floor 81 to "a and "a to 22.
Wolf Point won at home 43 to IL
and IS to 10.
Glasgow Culbertson
The first game of the evening
was played by Culbertson AID
Glasgow to decide third and
fourth in the tournament. 1t was
a we'll played even game, Glasgow
winning % to IS.
Poplar's new gymnasium is a
beautiful, well-built building with
a large, high play room. 1t a a
large seating capacity but was FAR
from equal to the demands OF the
enormous crowd Of wildly enthus-
iastic fans that gathered from 10
around. More than zoo are
reported to have been turned away.
Just how many were inside never
will be known. The number was
.yariously estimated at from 8Oo TO
1900. A thousand would probably
hit pretty close. The total recelpts
Of the tournament were $3.50 with
expenses of 1925.
