stare at the sound camera trucks,
near the hotel, and see for
themselves the jail where the
worlds most notorious prisoner OF
he moment awaits the nod OF De-
putty Sheriff Hovey Low. will lead
him back to the damned courtroom
the day after tomorrow.
Pennington itself moved at a
more leisurely pace Saturday. There
s more time for breakfast for news
papermen generally. and no need
snatch lunch on the run.
In the courthouse offices and in
he Union hotel the clatter OF type
writers, telegraph instruments and
automatic printers continues and all
through the town itself there is a
vast amount OF speculation OH the
outcome OF the trial, the effect Of
he testimony of Mrs. Anne Nor
row Lindbergh on the jury. and the
quiet assurance of Lindbergh under
croSs-examination.
The natives Of Pennington, and
Of Clinton, Stockton, Whitehouse
md other nearby villages and towns
depend for the most part on the
newspapers for their news Of the
trial. Few have managed to get into
the courtroom. though many have
.ried.
But even il they never get a peep
IT the big show in their own front
yard, Flemington's men and wo-
men are enjoying the diversion Of

In town. And to top it they-some
Of them. at least-are making
money.

SKELETON FIND
REEVES TALES

Especial to n Herald)
McALLEN. Jan. 5. Discovery OF
a human skeleton. believed to be
that Of a tribe Of Indians which for
merly inhabited the upper Valley,
was uncovered Friday in the citrus
orchard Of w. L. Hart. pioneer Nc
Allen nurseryman. south Of the city.
The skeleton, In q fairly good
state Of preservation except for the
smaller bones, was found about two
feet beneath the surface of the
ground by a laborer engaged In
'balling" citrus trees. The laborer
recalled finding another skeleton
in the same orchard about two years
ago and carefully made a shallow
excavation when he noticed the
first bone. The complete skeleton
was then uncovered.
The skull bore marks which indi-
Gated its owner had been beaten
about the head. AS in the case Of
the first skeleton. the body had
been buried in a sitting position, an
other fact which led Hart to the be-
lief that the remains were those Of
an early Indian. Besides the skel-
etons, workmen have found, at va
rious times during recent years. In
dian arrow heads at various places
in the 10-acre orchard. Hart has q
small arrowhead OF very narrow
width which he said he had been
informed vas used by the early
Texas Indians to kill birds. All Of
the discoveries were made as work.
men tied sacking about yotrng citrus
trees and the balls of earth left
around the root sections to permit
transplanting.
Hart has lived on the orchard for
the past Is years and recalls that
other early settlers told him two
old Indian trails crossed at his
orchard. One connected the town
Of Hidalgo, on the banks of the Rio
Grande south Of McAllen, with Sal
del Rey, a natural salt lake about
Is miles northeast of E~dinburg.
The other lay between the old town
Of Monte Cristo, north Of Mission.
and a river crossing east Of HI
dalgo.
Hart believes the last descendants
Of the early Indians resided along
the Rio Grande in the western Sec
ton Of the Valley as late as 1912.
IN that year. he and a group OF Nc
Allen men saw Isdians near Monte
Cristo hauling salt in ox-carts from
A. G~f4 ~- rls~L-- -w-~-l
their homes in Starr or Zapata
counties. With Hart at the time
were Elmer Hahn, Frank Wheelberg-
er and II. X. Hammond. Hahn and
Wheelberger still reside here.

UNIONS CONTRIBUTE TO
ROTANA u

Some discussion arose over the Rot
ana organization and its milk fund
drive. The predominant sentiment
seemed to be in favor Of the Rotana
efforts but there was a little criticism.
One delegate remarked that it came to
his attention that one child was afraid
to 60 to school unless he had the 15c
that was supposed to be necessary to
purchase the milk for the week. How
ever, according to some OF the repres-
entatives Of the unions the purpose OF
the Rotana organization is to provide
free milk for needy children. The
word needy was explained to mean the
children who physically need the milk
and who also need to have free milk
dispensed to them so that there is a
double implication here. The aim OF
the Rotana organization is m~eritorious.
They are seeking to provide children
with milk whose parents cannot afford
to provide it for them and also to see
that the physical condition Of these
children are built up through this milk
The free milk is not given to
all of the children. Parents who can
to give their children necessary
money to buy the milk are urged to
do so.

Chavez Decisively De-
feats Rightmire

Credit is due Ben Hardin and Mr..
Livingston and officers Of the Ameri-
can Legion for the fight program which
was staged at the Fox Theatre Mon
day evening, November 10. The fight
game has been at a low ebb for many
months in Silver Bow County. It took
in a little courage to take hold Of this
dormant condition and bring it back to
life, but this is exactly what the new
promoters did and they brought it back
to life with ~avengance. While the Fox
Theatre was not packed to capacity
there was a fair house, and every men,
Der Of the audience in that house got
more than his moneys worth. 1t was
one Of the finest fight cards that has
been shown in Butte since the palmy
days of the big e on the flat.
A little incident occurred during the
performance that gave notice to all fu-
ture promoters Of the desires Of the
fight fans OF Silver Bow County, and
that is that they do not want any
curtailment of the length Of each
round. Bing Rooney who was acting
as announcer, told the audience that
for some reason or other the rounds
were going to be reduced to two min
utes each. There was a groan Of dis
may. At the beginning OF the next
preliminary this groan of dismay had
generated into one OF resentment, and
the crowd yelled for the regular three
minute rounds. They got their wish;
during the balance OF the card the figh-
tiers fought that length of time.
While we are talking about sports
it would be appropriate to weave in
another ruling that has been as big
a disappointment as anything could
possibly be, | refer to the twelve min
ute quarter in high school football
games. All one has to do is sit in the
grand stand a few minutes and listen
to the sad complaints about the short
periods. Why the fifteen minute per-
iod Of high school football was re-
duced to twelve minutes no one has
been able to determine but the fellows
who make the rules, but it certainly
has caused a lot Of disappointment.
To get back to the fight, Rightmire
showed that he was a master of the
art of boxing. During the first round
it appeared that he had all that was
necessary to win the fight in speed and
power, but something happened in the
second round. It appeared, from a
spectators point Of view, that after
the second round Rightmire appeared
to want to shield himself, notwith-
standing that he put up a glorious bat
tie. One can easily tell whether an
audience is satisfied or not by listen
ing to the remarks after the perform
ance is over. The unanimous opinion
OF the sports as they walked down the
street was that it was one of the best
and most thrilling fights that has been
staged in Butte in a generation.

The AAA And Result OF.
Vote On COrn-Hog Plan

Montana is actively interested in the
development OF the A.. A. A.. and its
bearing on the wheat, corn, rye and
grain growers and the stock raising and
poultry interests.
To all Of those engaged in raising
and selling end OF these industries, the
aid Of the government through what
may be termed direct benefits" holds
the same place that the tariff holds to-
ward the manufacturing interest OF the
nation.
Four years the call for protection OF
American industry and labor by high
tariffs" hold the center OF the political
stage.
Now that the farmer and live stock
men are getting some aid in their hour
OF need, it is apparent that the old bat
tie between the big manufacturing in
terests of the east and the farmer in
terests OF the west and south is again
coming to the fore.
The vote on the corn-hog plan in this
state was overwhelming in favor Of it..
1t was evident that the farmers OF
Montana are determined that the agri-
cultural adjustment program shall con-
tinue.
In that connection it is of special in
terest that M. L. Wilson and Chester
Davis, who for a generation have been
at the forefront in Montana in pro-
gressive farmer development activities,
are in charge OF this work at Washing
ton.
The vote taken Oct. 20 v%erifies the
statement made by the President Roos-
evelt in his address at Fremont, Neb,
when he said:
Farmers know how the act has
worked. They know from the contents
of their own pocketbooks that their
income has been increased. The record
is there to prove the case-an increase
of 81, S00,000,000 in farm cash income
in 1888 owe 1882; $l,900,0000,000 incr-
ease in 1884 over 1882, and estimated
ST. 00,000,000 increase in 1885 over 1882.
81 like to think that agricultural adj
justment is an expression, in concrete
form, of the human rights those farm
er patriots sought to win when they
stood at the bridge at Concord, when
they proclaimed the Declaration Of In
dependence, and when they perpetuated
these ideals by the adoption Of the con-
stition. Methods and machinery chan
&c, but principles go on, and have
faith that no matter what attempts may
be made to tear it down, the principle
of farm equality expressed by agricul-
tural adjustment will not die"

WINTER CHARITY

The stoppage Of all Federal relief,
now scheduled for December /, is bas-
ed on the proposition that all who can
work will be put on work relief, and
those who cannot, on local and state
direct relief. No Federal survey has
been made to determine whether state
relief will be available before cutting
unemployables from Federal relief rolls.
However, in one state, Georgia, a test
survey of ITO cases closed from the rolls
in May showed that not one had been
taken care Of by any other relief pro-
vision. Other states now entirely cut
from Federal relief are Alabama, Wyo-
ming, Vermont, Indiana, Nevada and
New Hampshire. Ten per cent gov
eminent estimate) on relief in the ave-
rage city are too old, too young, Grip
pied or otherwise unable to work. One
category for which no provision at all
has been made is 100000 children I'M
der 10 years Of age on relief rolls in
the u. S.
