RED CROSS DRIVE
UNDERWAY IN ALL
PARTS OF COUNTY
Drive Chairmen Named for
All Communities of
Carbon

The drive of the Carbon county
chapter of the American Red
Cross was underway this week
with Mrs. R. A. Nutting of Red
Lodge, chairman of the county or
g~anization in charge, and assisted
by Mrs. J. B. Convery of Silesia,
county vice chairman.
Chairmen appointed for the va
rious towns and cities of the coun-
ty to direct the local drives in their
communities were announced as
follows:
Bearcreek, Mrs. F. E.. Richard
son; Belfry, Mrs. Sid Henry;
Bridger, Mrs. Robert Teasdale Jr.;
F%romberg, Mrs. G. j. Buzzetti;
Edgar, Mrs. j. c. O'Donnell; Jol-
|iet, Mrs. George Bell; Boyd, Mrs.
Pete Wilson; Roberts, Mrs. r. L.
Duncan, and Luther, Mrs. E. c.
Russell.
Mrs. T. J. Pollard of Red Lodge
is chairman of the junior Red
Cross in Carbon county and is
supervising the drive conducted by
this organization.
No supplies have been received
by the county Red Cross chapter
this year because the county relief
office has taken over the work of
administering to the needy, it
was stated. The county chapter,
however, has supplies on hand
from last year and these are be-
ing given out as the occasion for
aid arises.
Since July /, the county organ
ization has furnished glasses for
three school children, has had den
tai work done for two children.
and has provided clothing to sixty
three persons from the supplies
on hand and from donations made
by friends of the Red Cross. These
friends also furnished money to
help buy a tent for a family whose
home had been flooded.
In its other work, the chapter
has also written letters concern
ing pensions for aged needy and
has given all possible assistance
in this direction.
Money has also been furnished
for the introduction of home n.y.
giene courses by a Red Cross
nurse in the schools of Belfry and
Bridger and it is hoped that these
courses can be continued and
classes in first aid instruction add
ed. The county chapter states it
is ready and anxious to extend this
work into any of the high schools
of the county that desire it.
An illustration of the benefits to
be derived by this work was given
in a public demonstration Saturday
by classes in home hygiene and
first aid at Carbon county high
school. This demonstration was
under the direction of the class
instructor, Mrs. H. P. Cassidy, and
took place in a show window OF
the j. c. Penney store here.
Needy persons are advised that
if they will apply to the Rec
Cross chairman in their locality
aid will be given as far as condi-
lions warrant.

SEWELL HELD FOR
The BURGLARY OF
BEARCREEK STORE
Tracy Lane Also Charged
When Part of Loot
Is Recovered

Sheriff ]. r. McFate believed
that he had cleared up the burg
larry of the Imperial Mercantile
company's Bearcreek store on the
night Of October &c with the ar
rest here Monday afternoon of
Jack Sewell and the recovery of
part of a loot valued at approx
mately $400 that was taken from
the Bearcreek establishment.
Another man, Tracy Lane, who
officers allege was an accomplish
of Sewells in the robbery of the
Bearcreek concern, is being re-
turned here from Virginia City
where he was arrested Tuesday on
a warrant issued by local author
tiles, Sheriff McFate said, and
will face burglary charges. He is
expected to be brought to Red
Lodge today by Deputy Sheriff
Robert Pryde of Bridger and
County Attorney E. P. Conwell,
who left here Tuesday evening to
take Lane into custody.
Sewell is being held in the
county jail in lieu of $1,000 bond
set by Justice of the Peace E. B.
Provinse at an arrangement on a
burglary complaint late Tues
day. Preliminary hearing was set
for next Thursday, at which time
it is expected that Lane will also
answer to a similar charge.
SewelPs arrest was made Mon
day afternoon after he had been
under suspicion for sometime by
county officers. Finding of part
of the missing loot in a local res-
idence occupied by a woman who
was known by officers to be on
close terms with Sewc provided
the necessary evidence for arrest.
No charges were filed against the
woman, whose name was unre-
vealed by authorities.
Part of the loot recovered by
offices included a quantity of
ladies' lingerie and other silk
wear, baby clothes and goceries
including butter, coffee, catsup,
canned fruits and bacon. The ar
ticles were identified by c. Natal,
owner of the Imperial Mercantile
company, and Mrs. Adele Golf,
manager of Mr.. Natali's Bear
creek store, as part of the large
quantity of dry goods and mer-
chandise that was found missing
from the establishment on the
morning of October 27.
Sewell was described by Off
GERS as an undesirable character.
The prisoner had previously
served time at the federal peni-
tertiary on McNeil's island for
his part in the robbery of the
Mott, Mont, postoffice about five
years ago, it was stated. Lane,
also, is said to be a character who
has had previous trouble with
forces of the law.
When arrested Sewell carried a
heavy stone wrapped in a hand
kerchief to form a dangerous
weapon, authorities charged. So
far the prisoner has refused to
make any statements concerning
his arrest or the charges filed.

They are made on either first or
second mortgage security, up to rs
per cent of the appraised normal
value of the property, repayable
ordinarily in 13 years, bearing 5
per cent interest. Often, both
types of loans are made jointly,
on a single application.
More than 80 cents out of each
dollar of the $10,833, $50 which
Montana farmers received through
the land bank since May, 1888,
went to refinance and substantial

most everyone in the community
benefited from this refunding of
pressing Indebtedness, he asserts.
Former creditors have been paid,
store accounts settled, local bank
loans liquidated and back taxes
cleared off.
"At the same time, by getting
their mortgages refinanced on 8

BANDIT is SHOT
IN HOLDUP HERE
Robber FIeeS After Being
Wounded by Tavern
Keeper.

An unidentified bandit was shot
in the left shoulder early today
when he attempted to hold up John
Dressed, Sc, of 62O2 North keystone
avenue, proprietor of a beer tavern
at that address.
He escaped in waiting car in
front of the tavern with woman
companion, Mr. Dressed told police.
According to Mr.. Dressed, a car
containing the bandit and woman
parked near his tavern until closing
time early today and then drove up
before the door as Joe Evans, %,
CaStleton, waiter, was leaving.
The bandit said that he wanted
to buy some beer and was told the
place was closed. He continued to
sit in the car and was there when
Mr.. Dressed returned from driving
some of his employees home.
When Mr.. Dressed emerged from
his garage, the bandit stuck pistol
into his ribs and said, This is a
stickup." They walked to the
garage together, Mr.. Dressed keeping
one hand above his head and
grasped pistol in his pocket with
the other.
Inside the garage, he turned on
the bandit and fired at him. The
bandit fled to the car in which the
woman was waiting while Mr.. Dres-
sci paused to investigate noise be-
hind him. When he reached the
curb the bandit car had fled. A trail
of blood led from the garage to the
street, Mr.. Dressed said.

Refunding of Bonds Due to
Mature Next Year Is
Proposed.

City officials today considered a
proposal to reduce the city tax levy
by refunding city bonds maturing
next year instead of levying tax
this year to retire them.
Following a conference yesterday
between city officials and pur-
chasers of city securities, it was
pointed out that a reduction of
from 10 to Is cents in the munich
pal tax levy could be effected
through the refunding measure.
A careful study of the proposal
will be made before the city pre-
sents its budget to the city council
Aug. 20, Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan
said.
If the city refunds the 1885 ma
turtles, new bonds can be issued at
a very low rate of interest, it was
said. The city now is paying from
315 to 51a per cent on its outstand-
ing bonds.
New York and Chicago bond
houses are willing to purchase re-
funding bonds from cities of first
class credit, such as Indianapolis,
on a per cent interest basis, Of
ficials pointed out.
Approximately 100000 of bonds
are maturing next year in the city
and its divisions, such as the Sani-
tary and park districts, Evans Wool
len Jr., city controller, said.
Needs of the city recently were
