THREATENER GIVEN
SALTWATER Term
2 Others Receive Sentences by
Judge GislasOn; 1 Term
Suspended Here

Three prison sentences, one OF
them suspended on good behavior,
were given by Judge A. B. Gislason
in New Ulm Thursday to three
youths who were held in Redwood
county Jail.
Carl Ellefson, who pleaded guilty
to a charge of striking Walnut
Grove policeman with bottle, before
Municipal Judge T. F. Reed Thursday
afternoon, was given a year in Still
water penitentiary. He figured in a
family squabble August 10 after
which he and his brother, Knute
were arrested.
Knute threatened his brother-in
law with "I'll kill you" remarks, the
charge read and when Will Thompson
officer, came to arrest Knute, Carl
told the officer, eff you arrest my
brother, I'll kill you." He pleaded
guilty before a justice in Walnut
Grove Monday. Knute was given a
90-day suspended sentence in Red
wood county Jail on an abusive Ian

dropped.
Joe Bodden, transient who was
working on a farm near Vesta, was
given one-year suspended sentence
on charge Of stealing $85 from the
farm home of his employer while the
family was away.
It was brought out at the trial that
a row started over the wages paid
Bodden and that he stole only what
money he thought was coming him.
More than $400 was left untouched
by the defendant. The money he stole
was paid back and it is believed that
he will return to work at the same
place. His sentence was suspended
on good behavior.
Fay Gould, horse trader of Airing
ton, South Dakota, who was found
guilty of stealing equipment from a
Revere farm, was given year at st.
Cloud. He was caught by Sheriff L.
j. Kise several days ago after chase
which wound up in a horse traders
camp near Bird Island.
The three defendants were taken
to New Ulm because District Judge
Albert H. Emerson, who was previ-
ously announced to be on the bench
here, went to California.

Allie Lawrence, 25, Struck by
Eastbound M. and st. L.
Train Sunday
FIGHT PRECEDED DEATH
Gilbert Wells, Missig Since
Sunday, Wanted by Kise
for Questioning

Circumstances which preceded the
death of Allie Lawrence, 25-year-old
Morton Indian whose body was mutt
lated by the eastbound M. and st. l..
passenger train No. 16 near Morton
about $40 a. M Sunday, are being
Investigated by Sheriff L. j. Kise.
According to Kisses information,
Gilbert Wells, an Indian, tried to pick
a fight with Lawrence at the, round
house shortly after a. m. that morn
ing. Lawrence refused to fight and
started down the tracks. At the
other end of the agency Reuben st.
Claire and Sam Bluestone were in
search of Wells and Willard Column
bus and Henry Campbell, who were
with him, also looking for fight.
They met at the Morton clay works
entrance where Bluestone struck
Wells. Wells ducked into the under
brush and has not been seen at Nor
ton since. Kise is seeking him for
questioning.
Lawrence was seen by William De-
laria, engineer, lying still on the
tracks just prior to the accident but
he was unable to stop the train be-
fore it ran over the body, severing
the head and an arm and leg.
Lawrence was in group which was
carousing in the vicinity of the
br:ckyards Saturday night and early
Sunday. One theory is that he fell
down and was stunned or sat down to
rest and fell asleep while taking a
short cut over the trestle on his way
to the agency. 1t is considered
strange that he was going home
alone or, if he was with friends, that
they left him on the track.
Other theories are that he COM
mitted suicide or that he was muir
dered and the body placed on the track
to allay suspicion. No reason has
been found for suicide and it is con-
sidered improbable that the body
would have been taken to the place
where it was found if the latter
theory was correct as the point is
difficult to reach. 1t is barely posi-
BILE that he was murdered at that
point on his way home, however, the
body is so badly mutilated that it is
impossible to tell by examination
what may have happened before it
was struck by the train.
A. w. Hubbard, coroner and Sher-
iff L. ]. Kise were called soon after
the accident. No inquest was held.
The train was due to arrive in
Morton at $40 a. m. which sets the
approximate time of the accident. R.
j. Conklin is conductor on No. 16. j.
T. Gooderum, Morton station agent,
notified authorities.
Funeral services were held at
p. m. Monday at the Indian Mission
church with Rev. G. H. Ten Brock
and Rev. Henry st. Claire in charge.
He is survived by his mother, Mrs.
Paul Lawrence and sister, Annie.
Lawrence was born November 80,
1907.

NEEDATOURIST PARK

The park committee of the city council has been author
lied to find a suitable location and to make necessary ar
with the relief committee to get out the logs
and do whatever in their Judgment is necessary to estab-
lish a municipal tourist park.
We doubt if there are very many. citizens who realize
what an important step this is in the history of the city
of Red Lodge. This of course, is aimed to take care of the
tourist travel that will stop over night in Red Lodge be-
fore going into Yellowstone park, and stop over in Red
Lodge after returning from the park.
The action of this committee and the city council will
greatly influence the tourist trade that Red Lodge will
or will not, receive.
Few people, unless they have stopped at tourist parks,
realize the importance of modern and up-to-date parks
with pleasant surroundings. The impression left upon
the tourist is the finest advertising that any community
can have, if that impression is favorable, and on the con-
trary, if it is unfavorable, no community can have any
worse publicity.
Some people may advocate that a tourist park should
be owned by private individuals. We have no objections
to as many privately owned tourist camps as individuals
wish to construct, but no one will put up more than a few
cabins; therefore, it is up to the city representing the
community as a whole to put up the finest and most mod
en tourist park in the country, in keeping with the most
scenic and wonderful highway in the world.
Every city that prides itself as a tourist center has a
municipality owned tourist park and they see to it that
tourists are not overcharged and they set the pace and
the price for all privately owned tourist camps.
The Red Lodge-Cooke City road was not secured easily.
1t cost considerable money, and to this expense the BUSH
ness people of Red Lodge contributed literally, but no
matter how literally they contributed, it cost the editor
of The News more than the amounts of the other citizens
We did not hope to benefit directly from the
road and the future tourist trade, but to benefit from the
prosperity of the town as a whole. Now we are not going
to sit idly by and permit the benefits of this wonderful
road to be spoiled by a few short sighted and selfish in
Building of a municipality owned tourist park can be
accomplished without increasing taxes by a single dollar,
as the money can be borrowed from the public works
board, and the camp will be self-liquidating and pay for
itself a hundredfold in added business to the COM
munity. We are satisfied that a majority of the commit
tee, and for that matter, a majority of the city council,
will favor the plan.

WORK ON FEEDER
ROADS EXPECTED
EARLY IN ring
Commission Authorized To
Build Roads on Force
Account Plan

Work on the county's feeder
road projects early next spring
can be hoped for as it is expected
that the state highway commits
sion will give authorization for
the road and bridge project before
January, or possibly in the No
vember % letting of contracts
under the public works program.
On account of the arrival of
winter weather, construction this
year has been deemed impractical
by the commission, although the
commission has received federal
authorization to proceed on a
force account" basis in the con-
struction of feeder roads.
The force account plan, which
allows local workers to proceed
with construction as fast as sur
veys can be made, was not in eff
feet soon enough to allow Carbon
county workers to take advantage
of the warm, dry weather that
prevailed until last Saturday.
Carbon ~county's public works
allotment probably will be about
$4,000, which will be divided be-
tween at least two projects, with
permission of the highway COM
mission. Part of the funds will be
used for rebuilding the Swan Carl
son bridge on the Clark's Fork
river, and the remainder for inn
provement of the feeder road from
Red Lodge through Luther lead
ing to Absarokee and Columbus.
Following the publication in
The News Of an editorial recon-
mending force account methods
for secondary roads in the state,
a letter was received by O. H. P.
Shelley, editor, from R. d. RAIDER,
state highway engineer, saying:
"Your request for force account
construction of secondary roads
was considered by the highway
commission. Authorization to con-
struct feeder roads by force ac-
count has just been received from
the federal government, unfor-
tunately, just as we r entering
upon the winter season. If this
authorization had been received
so days ago, we would have been
able to organize crews, ecure

DUDE RANCHERS
SEE PROSPECTS
FOR next YEAR
Attendance From This Area
At Billings Convention
rs 100 Per Cent

! All members from the Bear
tooth district were in attendance
at the eighth annual convention of
the Dude Ranchers association
last week at Billings, five of the
dude camps in this area being
represented in the gathering of
more than 200.
/. H. Larom of the Valley
| (Wyo.) ranch was reelected pres
ident of the association, and start
ed his eighth term in that capac-
ity Saturday. G. G. Moore of Du-
bois, Wyo., will serve for the
third term as vice president.
Foremost among developments
at the sessions was the resigna-
ton Of AL H. Croonquist, former
ly of Red Lodge, as executive sec
rotary of the association. Guard
ian of the associations business
affairs for the past two years, he
has announced that he will serve
until such time as the directors
appoint a new executive secretary.
All directors Of the ranchers'
association were reelected, and
they in turn elected officers for
the coming year.
A resolution adopted Saturday
by the ranchers demanded a voice
in the formulation of the federal
forest service policies dealing
with primitive areas of Montana
and Wyoming. If granted, the re-
quest would allow ranchers a hand
in preserving primitive areas
from invasion by home builders.
An advisory committee to work
with the forest service was to be
appointed.
Prospects for better business
next year were seen by many at
the convention, said F. 1. (Doc)
Johnson of Red Lodge and Camp
Sawtooth. Opinions varied, he
said, as to the effect of the "new
deal" and the Century of Progress
fair on the dude ranch traffic
during the past season. Assur-
ance of lower rail fares from the
East next summer was voiced, he
said, as we'll as better rail service.
Definite rates on western vaca-
ton excursions for next summer
are to be announced soon by rail
road officials.
Besides "Doc" Johnson, repre-
sentatives of this district at the
convention were E. J. Herman of
the Beartooth ranch near Dean,
Miss Helen Hereford Of the Here
ford-W wellington outfit near Lime
stone, B. L. Kratz Of the Kratz
ranch near Absarokee, and Dave
and John Branger Of the T-0-Ba1
spread near Roscoe.

GRAVEL CONTRACT
ON COOKE ROUTE
WILL Be AWARDED
Winter Halts Work by Crew
On Clark's Fork River;
Start Next Spring

S. j. Groves & Sons of Mime
apolis have been recommended as
contractors for surfacing of about
80 miles of the Red Lodge Cooke
highway from the Twin lakes to
the Clark's Fork river, according
to Harry E. Mitchell, resident
engineer, who said that Groves
bid had been recommended for
contract by the Portland bureau
of public roads office.
The Groves company entered a
bid of $240,380. The work to be
done includes two courses of
gravel on the entire length of unit
B, rs miles hat was graded by
the McNutt & Pyle company, and
on five and a half miles of unit
D, the section now being graded
by Winston Brothers. Other bids
on the job were from Morrison
Knudsen and Lawler corporation
of Butte, $272,O78; and Max
Kinney of Spokane, $283,128.
From the south end of unit B,
the grade newly built by Win
stons will be surfaced as far as
the old Cottonwood crossing of
the Clark's Fork. The rest of the
lib mile grade through to Cooke
and the park will be contracted
for surfacing as soon as the grad
ing contract is completed.
Winstons have quit work for
the winter in the Cooke region,
said Mr.. Mitchell on his return
from a visit to the region last
weekend. There was six inches
of snow at Cooke, and about eight
inches in the ClarkIs Fork falls
vicinity, and E. H. Clark, con-
struction superintendent, has de-
cided that further efforts would
be impractical this winter.
A power shovel had lately been
working in a barrow pit down on
the river nea the Lynn ranch,
supplying gravel for fills on the
grade where it runs below Pilot
and Index peaks. All necessary
gravel was dug out before the
crews stopped work, in order that
the fill-material will be available
early next spring when high wa
ter would prevent narrowing.
To guard against damage to the
grade by flood waters next spring,
an emergency channel and dyke
were built near the mouth of Pilot
creek.
Surfacing work by the Groves
company will start as soon as the
weather permits next spring. The
company. now has road building
machinery in Yellowstone park,
and will lose no time in putting
the machines on the job.

DOC BRINGS HOPES
OF EASTERN CAPITAL
FOR r PROJECTS

DR.. j. C. F. Siegfriedt of Red
Lodge, whose visionary predic-
tons regarding the Red Lodge
Cooke City highway have borne
fruit, Tuesday returned from Chi
cago more than ever confident his
home town is destined to become
an industrial center because of
its proximity to the Beartooth
mountain chrome deposits.
His assertion was based largely
on the possibility of eastern cap
ital becoming interested in the de-
velopment of the ore fields, a
probability that is far from re-
mote, in his opinion.
Carbon county's outstanding
booster spent two weeks in the
~midwestern metropolis depicting
the possibilities of the deposits to
brokers and financial leaders.
Although he declined to go into
the details of his negotiations, he
intimated that Chicago interests
would have a representative and
an engineer on the site within a
few weeks.
He was met here by E. B. Hub
bard of Livingston, engineer for
Montana Chrome, Inc, an organi-
cation of state men which is back
ing the development.--The Bill
