TRANSPORTING STOCK
COSTS MAN $50 HERE

Pleading guilty to a charge of
transporting a carload of horses
from Carbon county into Yellow
stone county without first having
them inspected, Louis Rapalina, a
horse dealer from Faulkner, Kan
sas, was fined $50 here Saturday
by Justice of the Peace E. B.
Provinse. Rapalina paid the fine.
Quick action on the part of
Carbon county authorities, who
taking vigorous steps to see that
all livestock taken from this coun-
ty first undergo an inspection, led
to Rapalina's arrest Saturday at
Billings by Ed O'Donnell, a state
livestock inspector there. Only a
few hours after a warrant was is
sued for him here by County At
torney E. P. Conwell, Rapalina
appeared in justice court here to
answer the charges after Sheriff
]. R. McFate had had him arrest
ed at Billings.
Tw%enty-one head of horses were
involved in the Rapalina shipment.
Sheriff McFate said here Monday
that every effort is being made by
his force to a~pprehend violators
of the stock inspection law. Stiff
fines will follow arrest of Offend
ers, he said. Penalties for viola
lions range from $50 to $500 fines,
he added.

OPTION OFFER OF
GOLF CLUB TAKEN
BY CITY COUNCIL
Arrangement Will Not Be
Of Extra Expense
To City

The offer of the Red Lodge
Golf and Country club to give a
ten year option to the city of Red
Lodge on their golf course west
of the city has been accepted by
the city council, Mayor E. w. AL
len said Wednesday.
The course is to be operated on
a municipal basis in conjunction
with the new Red Lodge city
tourist park. Golf enthusiasts
shortly will be able to play on the
course by paying a green fee
without the necessity, as former
ly, of being a member of the club.
Mayor Allen pointed out that
the arrangement would entail no
cost to the city while at the same
time it would be welcomed by golf
fans of the city and among the
numerous summer visitors to this
city, who were formerly barred
from the use of the course because
of non-membership in the private
club.
Plans of the city officials, as
tentatively announced Wednesday
call for the erection of clubhouse
on the course. This would be a
construction built of native tim
Der and financed as a CWA pro-
ject. 1t is the opinion of those
that have been familiar with the
course for a number of years that
the construction of a clubhouse
would make the course one of the
finest in the northwest.
1t was reiterated that this would
not be of any additional cost to
the city, and at the same time
was held to be practically a
necessity to the betterment of
Red Lodge in view of the fact that
it is soon to attract thousands of
tourists and pleasure seekers with
the completion of the new Red
Lodge to Cooke City highway.

RECEIVES
z YEARS IN PEN
Sorenson Taken to Prison
Today After Guilty
Plea

Pete Sorenson, who last week
confessed to Carbon county au-
thorities to passing several forged
checks on business houses here,
pleaded guilty to a charge of forg-
cry when arraigned before Dis
trict Judge Robert C. Stong in a
session of district court here
Tuesday. He waived time for
sentence and received two years
at hard labor in the state peniten-
tiary at Deer Lodge.
Sorenson was taken to Deer
Lodge this morning by Sheriff
Jack R. McFate, who left with his
prisoner by motor for Laurel to
catch a fast, transcontinental
train there.
Sorenson, together with Rene
Mora, now held under charges of
forgery at Billings, was arrested
at Rawlins, Wyo., recently on a
warrant issued by Carbon officers.
Brought back here last week by
Undersheriff w. H. Moore, he
made a signed statement to au-
thorities here in which he con-
fessed his guilt to passing several
spurious checks on local business
houses. At that time Sorenson
claimed that he did the passing
of the checks while Mora forged
them with the name of L. E.
Chaplle of Belfry who, according
to Sorenson, is Mora's stepfather.
At that time he also gave Mora
credit for originating the idea
that the two could make some
money easily by forging Chaplle's
name to checks who, Sorenson
said Mora told him, chad a lot of
money in the bank and we might
as well get some of it."

Displaying the sparkling form
and unsurpassed scoring power
which took them through q prev
ious games during the season
without a defeat in their over
whelming win over Superior
Thursday morning, the Carbon
hoopsters presented a strange con-
trast Thursday evening against
Plevna. The locals started against
the Plevnans noticeably ''off-col-
or" and could not manage to
shake off the jinx.
Starting out with field goals
from Brown, Kangas and Zupan,
the locals jumped into an early
lead and confined the Plevans to
two points in the first period
while they rang up a total of II
points. Their play was unusually
ragged, however, and numerous
personal fouls were chalked
against Carbon playes from the
start. In the second session the
Carbonites' pace was perceptibly
slowed while their raggedness in
creased allowing the Plevans to
tally four points on gift shots
alone. Brown and Kangas rang
up a field goal apiece for the only
Carbon scoring of the session,
while Stockfisch, Plevna forward,
made a floor counter to make it
eight for the Plevans to Carbon's
Is at the intermission.
In the third quarter Plevna con-
tinued its scoring rally on the To-
calls, Himsl, center, and Leischer,
forward, doing most of the heavy
work, both tallying two apiece
from the floor, to seriously dam
age the locals lead. Carbon suf-
fered from the loss of Zupan, cap
tain and center, who went out on
personals during the period and
was replaced by Liedes, Brown
and Kangas contributed the only
markers for the C%arbonites in the
chapter which ended with the
Plevnans trailing 20-18.
At the start of the final period
the locals were again handicapped
with the loss of Neimi, forward,
who was sent to the bench on per-
sonals and replaced by Mlekush.
Plevna, with a floor and gift shot
from Hepperle, guard, increased
the count on the Carbon hoopsters.
Kangas sank a floor marker and
Brown a gift shot for Carbon
while Stockfisch and Hepperle
tailed gift shots for Plevna to
put them 1928 over the locals.
With but a few seconds before
the gun and heckled by Plevna
players, Kangas faced the hoop
for two free tries on a personal
by Stockfisch. Only one was COM
pleted while the gun ended Car
bon's chances of scoring on the
rebound.
Against st. Peters high of An
aconda the locals jumped into an
early lead and maintained it
throughout. Brown and Kangas
did heavy duty for Carbon con-
tributing 10 and IL points, e
spectively, while Zupan with nine
and Niemi with six followed.
Score at the intermission was
22-13 while the locals topped it
off Alps at the finish.
In the playoff with the strong
Klein high quint for consolation
honors, Carbon again displayed it's
tremendous power by administer
ing a 44-21 drubbing to their OPP
ponents. The locals had a 1878
edge at the first period and boost
ed it 23-15 at the intermission. At
the third period a 1920 lead was
maintained. Zupan was heavy
gunner with 10 points and was
followed closely by Kangas with
IL and Niemi with 10. Brown
with 6 and Liedes and Doran with
tmo aach alec oontrihufod

expected to supply jobs for hun

with the completion of the pro-
jects, more than $4,000 Carbon

against drought. Present plans
call for the reservoirs to hqld
more than 10000 acre feet ef-wa-
ter, at a total cost approaching
the half million dollar mark.
Mr.. Skinner said Wednesday
that the local committee has been
receiving splendid cooperation
from state officials in regard to
arranging details for the water
projects and expressed his appre-
citation of it.

BENEFIT OF AIR MAIL

The advent of the northern trans
continental air mail line, operated by
Northwest Airlines, is proving Of great
benefit to the mailers and travellers in
to and out of Montana and has also
served to increase all lines of business
on the Great Falls-Salt Lake line. This
new connection at Butte is at present
particularly valuable for passengers,
mail and express originating in the
south and southwest for Montana, Da-
kota and Minnesota points. Mail loads
are running practically as heavy as
they were a year ago when two sched-
ules were in effect between Great Falls
and Salt Lake City. On July l air
mail rates were decreased to six cents
an ounce, according to the air mail op-
orators, to increase the mail loads still
further.
