taken us into their homes and all have been so courteous. In spite of the exceptionally heavy run of sal mon in the interior peninsula re- zion, in several places local resi- dents are facing the winter with anxiety since the traps operated al- most without restriction making it impossible for residents to sell any fish they might catch; the packing season is so short and wages so low that they couldn't possibly earn enough to keep them. Moreover, Unimak Island is so thoroughly re- served that inhabitants there have little chance to help themselves. One thing here should be done without delay. Reindeer should be placed on UnalaSka Island for the use of native inhabitants. The iS- land is well suited for reindeer and stocks here would solve largely the local food problem I wish to note here that there are many large and fine families in the peninsula re- zion; families of eight, nine, 10 and IA children; and particularly that sturdy old and respected pa- triarch at Chignik who has GA liv- ing lineal descendants. With a few more families like this we would have some people in Alaska.

Arrived at Karluk this afternoon; plenty of fog and rain. Shall re- main here tonight and leave for Chignik and Unga tomorrow, if the weather permits. Total population here about 200 including 51 school children. Good fishing season just concluded and economic conditions here probably as good as anywhere else in Alaska though a few fam lilies may need help.

 Kodiak town turned out in force for the meeting here last night. Believe sentiment for local control by Alaska Legislature on fish, fur and game resources almost unani- nous. Many men here who fish an- nually in Bristol Bay region. Much interested in having rocks cleared from channel Egegik river; same now very dangerous. This river, used yearly by at least 200 men in travelling to and from Bristol Bay and if rocks were cleared it would be used by twice that number. en-

 Arrived at UnalaSka about noon from False Pass. This is the first commercial plane to land here. Water port for seaplane here is swell, in fact, almost perfect, and no flier need be uneasy on that score. I believe that within a short time they will have an air service established to all points along the Alaska Peninsula as far as Unalas- ka. Our trip has been valuable in that respect, at least. Columbus" Mills and Magellan" Davis are well, indeed, and since the fog is thick as Mount Katmai smoke to- day, both are sleeping, making up for about two days in advance. People all along have been so hos pitable that we are somewhat re- luctant to leave. MT. and Mrs. Nc Leod and MT. Dahl at Chignik, Capt. Halvorsen at Sand Point; and MT. Arthur Mellick; MT.

SOUTHSIDERS FIGHT
HARD AGAINST SALE

The McCone county homestead
ers who are so deeply concerned
by the proposed tax sale of num-
erous tracts of land in the north
west portion of the county are put
ting up a valiant fight against the
sale being made at this time and
against it's sale at any time in one
parcel to a big stock company
They are agitating and organizing,
and pleading with the county
board. They see in the sale of these
tracts, between which their homes
are scattered, their own doom, as
the country is turned back parcel
by parcel to the big stock COM
porations.
After surveying and checking up
the territory involved it is stated
there are more than 100 homes
within the boundaries which Cir
cumscribe the area over which
the $4,000 acres of delinquent tax
land is sprinkled. These homes rep
resent the little all of several humid
red people who had hoped they had
permanent homes established.
Places to call their own where
they might live and die in peace.
Surrounded and over-run by horses
or cattle their homesteads would
have to be abandoned and probab-
ly be unstable at even SO cents
an C
In more than 80 of these homes
there are women or children or
both. Five schools now operate
within the territory would become
dead property, with the passing
out of the homesteaders, and a
heavy loss to the county. If this
northwest tract is sold this year
it is believed that 400 other homes
in other parts of the county will
follow to the scrap heap.

VERDICT OF GUILTY IN
WINNIE RUTH JUDD CASE

After only six ballots the jury in
the trial of Winnie Ruth Judd at
Phoenix, Arizona, was guilty of
murder in the first degree with
the death penalty. The case was
sensational and filled much front
page space. Mrs. Judd, wife of a
physician, was accused of murder
ing two young women the same
night. The bodies were dismem-
bered and shipped to Los Angeles
in two trunks. The case had a
background of sex ENHANCEMENT,
jealousy and mystery that was not
fully disclosed in the trial. One of
the slain girls, Hedwig Samuelson
formerly lived with her parents
near Berthold, N. D.. Mrs. Judd's
attorneys built their defence around

INCOME COUNTY
FARMERS ASSN

At a meeting of settlers held at
Dreamland hall, Thursday, January
%, a body was organized to be
known at The McCone County
Farmers association. The purpose
Of this association is to protect
the interests of the settlers Of Nc
Cone county against any force
which may threaten them. IT was
the sense of the meeting that the
new association shall consider the
interests of the settlers as a class
rather than the grievances Of indi-
vidua1s. 1t is the intention Of the
organization that its membership
shall cover the entire county and
shall deal with the interests of all
or any part of the county.
The affairs of the association
are to be administrated by an exc
cutive board Of five. Those chosen
TO act on this board until a regu-
lar election are: Ernest Carlson,
chairman; Clarence Chamberlain,
vice-chairman; w. H. Jacobs, sec
retary-treasurer, D. D. Garoutte
and H. E. Prall. Committees r to
be appointed to specialize in the
various problems with which the
body shall be confronted.
An initial fee of fifty cents was
decided upon, this amount being
within the reach of all and merely
an expression of good faith.
The matter of the LAKELAND sale"
was turned over to the infant as
ISOLATION as a sort Of teething ring
and, pursuant to the instruction
of the meeting, the executive board
met with the county commissioners
on Monday, February 1st- The COM
missioners were asked to postpone
action for thirty days in order that
a. petition against the sale might
be more extensively circulated and
in order that certain allegations
might be substantiated. This re-
quest was granted.
The tentative plans of the board
include a series Of meetings sim
liar In character to those which
have been held in the county, a
radio broadcast of the salient facts
and a thorough investigation of
certain JUNIORS connected with the
case.-Contributed.

STEVE Marion 4th
FIDDIING CONTEST

Steve Marmon of Wolf Point,
Ole Langseth of Williston and John
Simpson Of Ray, N. Oak. tied for
fourth place in the old fiddlers
contest at Williston Sunday. There
were 36 contestants. l.. V. Coulter
of Williston won the Upper Mis-
souri, cup and a cash prize for first
place. Second went to Raol John
son of Ray and third to Henry Jar
land of Wheelock.
The contest was estimated to
have attracted an audience of near
ly 5000. The high school auditor
ium holding 1900 was damned, and
nearly 1000 crowded into the Con-
gregational church where the pro-
gram was repeated, while several
hundred were unable to get into
either auditorium.
Steve Marmon. a former Williams
county pioneer, was greeted by
many friends as one who had re-
turned home after a long absence.
Many of the fiddles used in the
contest had interesting histories.
A bull fiddle 200 years old, and
looking it's age, was used to ac-
company some of the fiddlers. T.
A. Stenehjem played a Stradivarius
more than 100 years old. Olaf Twet-
en- of Watford City. who placed
fifth had a violin well past the
century mark. The newest violin
one played by Ole Langseth
of Williston, which he had made
himself from native cedar, and
which compared we'll in finish and
tone with the old Violins.

FOOT PROBES
ARNOT RUMORS
FINDS SPECIAL INVESTIGATOR
REPORTS ARE LARGELY
THEORY

An Investigation has been under
way this week at Glasgow when L.
A. Foot, attorney general has been
investigating rumors current in
Valley county relative to the Ar
not case.
A month ago the Glasgow Cour-
Ter came out with a story in which
it was stated that Eric O. Evered
had been for several months act
ing as special investigator for the
state, but that he had been ap-
pointed at the suggestion of George
Hurd, defense attorney. This ap-
pointment was made without the
suggestion or knowledge of the Val
ley county attorneys office. It was
said that Evered had stated that
he knew Mrs. Arnot had not killed
her husband, etc.
The persistence of the Courier
in demanding a thorough ~investiga-
ton, either to prove the rumors
true or to show them up as false,
resulted in Mr.. Foot's visit to Glas-
gov this week. After questioning
all persons who had been mention
ed as having a possible knowledge,
Mr.. Foot considers that the re
ports on the case made by special
investigator Evered have been i'm
peached and that there is no cause
for calling a grand jury. Wednes-
day he announced that he had no
intention Of filing additional Grim
inal proceedings.
About 20 witnesses were exam
ined at length, and no testimony
Implicated anyone but Mrs. Arnot
in causing the death of Jesse Ar
not in August 1880. Mrs. Arnot is
at present in Warm Springs, hav-
ing been declared insane at a jury
trial a year ago. Should she ever
be pronounced sane she will have
to face the murder charge.
The Investigation brought out,
however, that although Eyered had
been in the employ Of the state
for- six months Investigating the
Arnot case at $3.50 a month and
some expenses, he had made his
reports direct to George Hurd, de-
tense attorney. In a joint statement
made Wednesday Foot, Slattesy
and Roberts said that Evered test
flied that Hurd not only received
the reports but that Hurd told
Evered to include in his reports
any theories he might develop. AT
ter the investigation at Glasgow
Mr.. Foot is convinced that the re-
ports of his investigator bas-
ed largely on theory.
In commenting on the case, G..
H. Roberts of Glasgow said that
never in his experience as a prac-
ticing and prosecuting attorney
had he witnessed crystallization of
rumors to the extent shown in the
investigation of the death of Jesse
Arnot.

NOON MEETING WITH
THE LIONS

It's President Camrud again for
1882. Ed did not choose to run but
the club declared a moratorium on
destinations for one year. 1t was
pointed out that while crossing a
turbulent stream is no time to swap
automobiles.
Obeying a notice, a good repre-
sentation of Commercial club mem
bers met with the Lions club at
their Monday noon luncheon and
held a business session immediate
fy following the meal for the cleo
ton of officers. Nominations OF
the officials whose terms expire
were quickly made and 1t was vot-
ed by reclamation. President Cam
rud, vice president A. V. Appelgren
and directors Rathert, Neutgens
and Clayton were reelected. Hav-
ing served several terms Treasur-
err Lowell was allowed to step down
and C. L. Rogers was elected.
It was a lively, poppy session,
with a number of jolly songs out
of the Lions song books. Lion Pres
ident Catlin presided at the begin
ming and then turned the meeting
over to President Camrud. w. L.
Young was called on to report for
the Wolf Point delegation CIV. L.
Young, A. v. Appelgren, M. B. Lis
terudl on the annual convention
oG the Roosevelt Highway asso-
citation held at Havre on the 9Th,
an account of which appears in an
other column. Mr.. Young said he
had talked with a member of the
state Highway commission relative
to road projects in the district this
year and had been assured that IL
or IA miles more Of construction
would be made on the Scobey high
way and probably some oiling
would be done between Wolf Point
and the Dakota line. He was told
that the reports Of special check
ers, employed by the commission,
showed that ti1e heaviest traffic
on the t. r. highway in Montana
was found on the 20 miles between
Chinook and Havre, and the sec
ond heaviest between Wolf Point
and Poplar. Towns all along the
highway will be urged to adver-
tise the state and seek to attract
as many as possible of the thous-
ands Of tourists and convention
delegates who will visit the coast
this summer to either come or re-
turn on the T. r. trail.
The road from the bridge to Cir
Gle, Mr.. Young was told, has a def
mite place on the programs OF the
near future, but since 1t is mil
age added to the original system,
it must await the completion OF
certain parts of the originally des-
ignated milage.

GUILTY HANDS"
MYSTERY THRILLER
LIONEL BARRYMORE AND KAY
FRANCIS HAVE PRINCIPAL
ROLES

Guilty Hands, which will be
shown Thurs.-Fri.-Sat. at the Lib
erty Theatre, places Lionel Barry
more in the spot of featured play
or, Offering him the most powerful
role he has essayed for the talking
screen.
The story was written especially
for the talking screen by Bayard
WELLER, master Of mystery drama
and author of such theatre hits as
''The Thirteenth Chair" and ''The
Trial of Mary Dugan." 1t is his
first original for the talkies and, in
the opinion of preview critics, the
most battling murder plot he has
ever conceived.
Has Central Role
Particular interest is directed TO-
word this new Metro-G oldwyn-May-
err production because it follows
Barrymore's personal triumph, the
veteran criminal attorney in GA
Free Soul" and is the first picture
he has carried as principal player
in several years, his efforts having
been confined to direction since
the advent Of sound films.
Like Marie Dressler who was
credited with the best performance
of any female screen star for 1881,
also was Lionel Barrymore cred
tied with the best performance of
any male star, his work in "a
Free Soul" having given him that
honor.
