ATHLETIC PARK
IS imp 0vEM
IN RED LODGE
To Provide Football Field,
Running Track and
Tennis Courts

Since the Legion park adjacent
to the railroad station was COM
pleted, the emergency relief forces
have gone forward on construction
of the athletic park on the Red
Lodge Midway grounds by the
county high school.
The once u~nattractive vacant
lots, covered with coal dust from
the old Sunset mine, r being con-
verted into the athletic field that
has long been desired by the
schools and public, now made pos
sible by cooperation of the schools
with the relief committee and the
county commissioners, and the eff
forts of the unemployed of the
community.
The area between Fourteenth
and Sixteenth streets will provide
a football field, a running track,
space for a baseball diamond, and
three tennis courts.
The accumulation of coal slack
deposited during loading operat-
ions in the years when the N. w.
|. worked the west side mine has
been scraped and hauled away,
and the whole area is being grad
ed and leveled. A rustic timber
fence similar to the one that now
encloses the Legion park is almost
completed.
Principal C. R. Schmidt and
Coach A. M. Hartwig of the high
school r preparing specifications
for the athletic field to be used by
future track and football teams of
the school. The cinder track prob
ably will be a quarter-mile loop,
with a possible 220-yard straight
away.
The Montana Power company
has promised to oblige the plans
by removing the power line pole
that now stands as an obstruction
to a football field.
Three tennis courts will be To-
Gated at the north end of the park.
The playing base is to be built
from gravel and s~and-clay, the
best court materials ordinarily
available. They will be built ac-
cording to specifications of Rev.
H. w. Woods, who plans back

DISTRICT COURT
DISMISSES TWO
DAMAGE ACTIONS
Divorce Decree Issued BY
Judge Stong In the
Larson Case

Two damage suits against
Claude A. Lewis, stockman of
Cowley, Wyo., were dismissed as
settled in the district court Tues
day, conducted by Judge Robert
C. Stong, who also considered sew
eral matters in regard to irriga-
ton water, a divorce action, and
a number Of cases relative to es-
tates and guardianship.
Settlement was made out of
court in the case of Mrs. Ellen J.
Strong against MIR. Lewis, in
which she sought damages of $15,-
900 on the grounds of malicious
and false prosecution. Her COM
plant, prepared by Attorney G. c..
Rowan, stated that in December,
1881, Mr.. Lewis had filed an ac-
cusation against her in the justice
court of E. B. Provinse, charging
her and Jess Sullivan, a herder,
with the destruction of a sheep
outfit wagon and supplies. The
wagon, attending a band of sheep
in the Pryor country, was mys-
teriously burned, December %,
1881.
Mrs. Strong was arrested, jailed
briefly at Red Lodge, released on
bond to appear for trial. In Just
ice Provinse's court, January II,
the case against her was dismissed,
there being no evidence to support
the charge. Answering Mrs.
Strong's complaint of malicious
prosecution, Mr.. Lewis declared
that it had not been his intention
to embarrass her or injure her
good name, but that he had filed
the accusation on advice of legal
counsel.
The second action against
Claude Lewis was brought by Jay
D. Kelsey, homesteader of south
ern Carbon county. Claiming that
Lewis bands Of sheep had been
continually and deliberately pas
tured on his grazing land, he re-
quested $3.50 as damages, and an
extra penalty of $1,000. Mr.. Lewis
claimed that the Kelsey lands
were not fenced or marked in any
way that would distinguish them
from government grazing land.
He also remarked that his outfit
wagon, at the time it was burned,
was located on land that later was
proven to be Kelsey's.
Suoma Larson was granted a
divorce from Gustave Larson of
Livingston. In issuing the decree
Judge Stong ruled that the mother
will have custody of the child,
Norman G., 5, until September 1
of this year, when the father will
take charge of him while he is at
tending school at Livingston. At
the end of a years time, if the
parents have not reached an agree
ment, the court will issue further
orders concerning the child's
guardianship.
The case Of J. ]. Webber against
M. H. Boyer was taken under adj
visement by the court, after test
imony was completed Tuesday.
Witnesses for the plaintiff were
Anthony Schwend and Ray Promo,
for the defendant, Barney Rang
itsch. Mr.. Weber seeks an in
junction to prevent the running of
waste irrigation water on his
land.

whichever we may choose to call 1t.
When was first able to walk, my

ten years, specializing in pantomime
and dancing.
1t was during my latter years with
the Royal opera that my work attract
ed the attention of King Haakon and
Queen Maud of Norway. Their inter-
est enabled me to win contract with
the National theater Of Scandinavia,
and made my first notable public
appearance under the sponsorship Of
royalty, an suspicious beginning for
girl only sixteen. Several months
later l was presented to Prince Karl
of Sweden as the star Of charity
bazaar in Stockholm.

sensations Of that season.
1t was during the early part Of my
engagement in this play which lasted
a full season of twelve months on
Broadway, that I was first inspired
with screen ambitions. Mr.. Jesse L.

of the stage. Until this time / was
firmly resolved to devote my career
to the legitimate drama, for which !.

But the lure of screen fame was
irresistible and I signed with Mr..
Lasky. I was fortunate in getting ex-.
cellent roles at the outset, including
the feminine leads in 1.-THE Wanderer,"
"Blond and Brunette" "The Bride Of
Tonight" and other successful photo
plays.
If Mr.. Lasky had not admired my
work in "Beggar on Horseback" I
probably would still be on the stage.
And there are times, I confess, when

am convinced that the talking screen
offers greater opportunities, reaching
