The prints made, no one but the artist
knows how, have the quality of paint
ings without discounting their quality
as prints. They have depth and dis
tance; they have atmosphere and
light: they are essentially of the place
and the time they represent. They
are Santa Fe and the Great South

There is something very remarkable
in Mr.. Baumann's color-his greens,
his yellows, his purples. They are
strong and vivid, but never blatant.
What is more, his accents are always
placed precisely Alright. Note, for ex-

Prisoners Arrested Recently Es-
capped in Less Than Two
Hours

Vice President Marshall became fam
GUS by saying that What this country
needs is good five-cent cigar"
Some Helena man may duplicate the
feat by announcing that what Helena
needs is a good jail"
The need was demonstrated a few
days ago when Bill Jarvis and Jerry
Helm, arrested at 1870 o'clock one
morning on a charge of drunkenness,
escaped from the city hooSegow within
less than two hours.
Their tenure Of liberty, however, was
brief. They were spied by Patrolman
jimmy King, bundled into a taxi and
returned TO police headquarters at 2
D. m. They were then placed In the
county bastile.
Jarvis and Helm escaped by crawling
through the wire netting Of the deten-
ton cage, smashing q panel Of the
door leading TO the cellar and working
their way out from there.
Since the earthquakes at the capital
city, Helena has had to put up with
q makeshift jail that doesn't hold 'em
very well.

Worry Over Cats
Cause of Death
MAKES TRIP IN
STORM TO HELP FELTNES;
FREEZES IN CABIN

Worry over his IS pet cats led VIII
liam Baily, 80, a sheepherder and fur
trapper, on an icy trail that ended ia
frozen death in lonely cabin near
Beaverhead national forest.
Bailys body was found In the cabin
after a prolonged search that sheriff's
deputies and neighbors began when It
was learned the aged man never
reached his own cabin after setting out
from Wisdom, Dec. a.
Batly told friends he wanted to get
home to see how the Is cats he left
In the place were getting along.
II. j. Fetty said he drove Baily to
within about two miles Of the cabin
and had to turn back because of deep
snow. Batly continued on foot through
the snowstorm.
When Baily failed to reach his home.
neighbors reported the fact to authori-
ties and search was started. In an
abandoned cabin, where the exhausted
man lay down and covered himself
with his coat, his body was found.
Doctors who examined the body said
death was the result Of q heart attack.
Baiiy, they said, had died, apparently,
Christmas eve, after he left Petty and
set out alone.

there are no buildings, she said.
While this marking program viii not

crime here on transients. UndeSir-
ables among those taken into custody

out of town, police said.
The men rounded up had been
crowded into meager rooms, where the
fortunate slept on cots and the others
sprawled on the floors without mat
tress or covering. They had paid
from 10 to 25 cents for the privilege
of coming in out of the cold.
Several days ago police rounded up

on such insects Is a simple matter.
read these excerpts from the En-
cyclopedia Britannica:
g" - They (wasps) form two great
groups, Specoidea and Vespoidea,
with the vast majority solitary
in habit. Most of these solitary kinds
are known as fossorial or digging
wasps. The true wasps form a
separate section Of the Vespoidea and
were formerly grouped into a single
division-the Diplotera, in allusion to
the fact that the fore wings are longi-
tudinally folded when at rest. They
are further distinguished by the
posterior lateral angles of the pro-
nutum, which end above the
tegulae. The Eumenidae are
solitary wasps, and the best known
genera are Eumenes and Odynerus."
