RATES on ACID
ARE DEMANDED

Northern Montana cities will
undertake, along with Kelvin
sunburst oil operators. to bring
about a reduction in the freight
rate on hydrochloric acid into
Montana, to encourage the use
OF this acid in Montana fields
which are producing from the
lime.
sixty-eight wells have been
treated with this acid and the
average well has more than
doubled its production. The use
Of acid has reYolutionizsd pro-
duction methods in Kevin-Sun-
burst, but the greatest element
Of cost is the excessive freight.
Operators say that the freight
rate on acid into Montana was
established at a time when there
was no contemplation OF car
load shipments, but the rail-
roads have insisted on the ex-
cessively high rates, despite the
protest OF those who ara using
the acid and who would use
more acid were the rate lower
ed.

Harness Thieves
Becoming Active

Warning to farmers of Imperial
Valley is issued by the sheriff's
office, which advises that harness
thieves are becoming active again
in the valley.
Two reports OF stolen harness
were received over the weekend
and the sheriff urges farmers to
put their harness where it will be
safe, as the best method of pre-
venting it being stolen.
Proprietors of second hand shops
and of used material are advised
to be careful about purchasing
harness and to make certain that
the rightful owner is offering it
for sale.
Many complaints of harness
thefts were received last year, due
in great measure to farmers leav-
ing their harness where it could
easily be picked up by loiterers or
transients," the sheriff's office said,
land a little more care by the
farmers will do much to curb the
activity of thieves"

sub machine guns. They fired two
pistol shots to intimidate the police
man. Wayland was knocked un-
conscious when he attempted to
draw pistol and the other two
police were forced to give up their
guns and walk away from the
bandits car with their hands in
| the air.
The encounter occurred in the
gasoline filling station of Harry
Nieman in Bellwood. The police
cruiser Car had been parked near
an intersection of country roads.
The gunmen's automobile drove
through red light at high speed
/ and the police pursued them with
siren sounding.
The outlaws accelerated their
automobile and opened a wide gap
between the cars. At Nieman's
station the gunmen stopped for
gasoline.
Ten gallons, quick!" A gunman
identified as Hamilton ordered. This
man stepped out of the automobile
to watch the road over which the
police were coming. Another gang
ster, believed to be Nelson, left
the automobile. The man identified
as Van Meter remained at the
wheel.
i Before Nieman could finish his
task, the police automobile drove
into the station driveway with siren
still sounding. Hamilton lodged
! back into the front seat of his
automobile and picked up a ma
chine gun.
Nieman dropped the gasoline hose
and ducked into the station, where
he threw himself on the floor.
Wayland descended from the
police automobile and. was followed
closely by policeman Gus Nence
and Joseph Hagmeister. AS the
policemen approached the bandits
automobile Hamilton thrust the
machine gun at them and demand
ed that they raise their hands.
Under the menace of the weapon,
all three police held their hands
aloft. Hamilton was cursing and
the other gangsters moved for
ward to surround the policemen.
Nelson carried a machine gun and
the other two had pistols.
Suddenly Wayland reached for
his pistol. Hamilton, who was with
in four feet. of him. but whose
gun was not pointed at the police
man, lunged and swung the gun.
The weapon struck Wayland on the
side of the head and he fell.
The gangsters then disarmed all
of the policemen and started a
procession down the road, with
two of the police walking with
their hands in the air. After sew
eral hundred feet the police we're
forced to walk into a field and
were warned to keep walking.
