Sam LaF'evor and Charley Gibbs, Frank
Belwaux, and man who owned a store
just below Carroll This man was
known to be trading merchandise for
stolen horses which were taken into
Canada where ready market could
always be found.
The Vigilantes acted with swiftness
and determination. They did not know
the rendezvous where most Of the out
laws would be found. This was over
come by sparing the life of a notorious
character, one william Contrell known
on the ranges by his sobriquet Flop
ping Bill" He agreed to act as exc
cutioner and to furnish all the infor-
nation necessary. They caught and
executed Red" Mike and Brocky CAL

three miles up the MuSselShell river,
they came upon California" Ed and
another man corralling bunch Of
horses. They both paid the penalty.
These two men were given decent
burial by the VigiIantes. Their graves
are on badland point overlooking the
Musselshell river. They were ex-cow-
boys gone wrong.

Years on the Plains, writes of the Wig

of the MusselsheI, Of the shooting to
death Of six outlaws and the escape Of
five others. -Four of the f1gitives were
later taken from the custody Of q
United States marshal and executed at
The outlaw camps extended at in
tervals along the river bottomlands as
far as Wolf Point. However, when the
Vigilantes were through with their
gruesome work, there were no more
outlaws In northeastern Montana. One
Of the few that escaped was ''Dutch"
Louie. He happened to be with Pike"
Landusky and Frank Aldrich pros
pecting for gold in the Little Rockies,
thus escaping the vengeance Of prim-
tive law; he thereafter LED an honest
life. During his declining years, Dutch
found refuge at the Darneu ranch Just
above the mouth Of Snow creek, and
when he died of old age, John Darnell
buried the body on a small knoll over

TERROR REIGN
Of MARINES
DENIED

Charges made yesterday in the
Senate by Senator Hugo Black of
Alabama that a one-man board
headed by Maj. Gen. John H.
Russell had created a "reign OF
terror" throughout the United
States Marine Corps, were most
emphatically denied at Marine
Corps headquarters today.
It was likewise flatly denied
that General Russell was at the
head of any selection board hav-
ing to do with the promotion Of
Marine Corps officers.
Nine on Board
: the official selection board, It
NVas explained, consists of nine
officers, six admiralS of the Navy
and three generals of the Marine
Corps. To this board is submit
ted list of those officers who
have been selected for promotion.
Their records for efficiency in
the service and professional
standing III the corps are the
basis upon which selections are
made. There is no such thing
as a "one-man board" as Sena-
tor Black is reported to have
charged, the officers representing
the Marine Corps stated.
It is true, according to this
officer, that there were many
officers who had figured on pro-
motion, but who failed to sue
ceed. The majority of these Of
ficerS, he charged, are ''drones"
and play politics more than they
do soldering. These are the men
who have reached the ear Of
Senator Black and who are at
the bottom Of this controversy,
he stated.
Probe Welcomed
The Marine Corps welcomes an
Investigation not only in the mat
ter of promotion of officers but
in all lines. The Marine Corps
is better organized today than
ever and is in harmonious CO.
operation with the Navy. The
list of promotion was not only
submitted to Secretary of the
Navy Swanson but also to Assis-
tant Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt, who is a Marine Corps
officer himself.
Both approved the selections,
after thoroughly going into the
merits of each and every officer
on that list.

BOND VOTE
FRIDAY, SEPT. 6

On Friday, September 9th,
the Voters of the Coolidge
Union high school district
will have the opportunity to
vote on the issuance of $685.
900 in bonds on this district
for the purpose of building
and equipping a high school
building for this high school
district and paving for the
site on which the building is
to be located. The bond is
sue of $50, 900 represents on
ly 45 per cent of the fund to
be available for the estab-
lishment of the high school
as the 55 per cent will be
supplied from the P. w. A.
funds, which will be avail
able when the bonds are vot-
ed.
The Coolidge Union high
school is now An institution
by virtue of a vote of this
district for that purpose. Ar
rangements haze been made
for quarters to carry on the
work until the hign school
building is completed. AS
soon as authority Is Riven
through the bond election,
arrangements will get under
way at once to begin the
construction of the high
school building which should
be ready about the first of
the year. Naturally, a high
school for Coolidge is inn
perative with her fast grow
ing population, and while we
may avail ourselves of the
PWA fund, now is the op-
perfume time. for should we
wait until the PWA funds
are withdrawn, the district
would experience difficulty
in putting over this building
program. 1t is to the inter-
est of every legal voter to be
at the polls on September
9Th and have a part in putt
ing over the bonds that con-
struction work on the school
building may begin without
further delay.
