sister-in-law, widow of Kit II, was
present. Her opinion was the same,
and Antoine Avvarra, who drove

opinion.
"When my turn came to crate, I
agreed with them, that so far as I
had ever heard, Hickok and Calam-

FAMOUS PICTURES
HERE next ! " WEEK |: 4
Masterpieces To Be Shown
TO Students And
The Public

H. B. Field, superintendent of
schools, has announced that an ex-
hibit of $50 of the finest reproduc-
hfons of recognized masterpieces
of art has been engaged to be plac-
ed on display to local students and
the general public next week.
This exhibit of fine art pictures
will be on display in Miss Thomp-
sons art room at the Roosevelt
school each school day of next
week, Field said.
A small admission charge will be
made, and the fund thus raised
will be used to purchase pictures
for the city schools here.
In making the announcement,
E Mr.. Field said: 'tIt has been the
privilege of students and the gen.
eral public to enjoy the master
pieces of music and literature for
generations; but an enjoyment: of
the masterpieces of art has, until
very recently, been restricted to
GlOSC NI1O WGLS WSck1I11y OlAOhS4I w
travel throughout the world, visit
ing the museums in which the Or
iginal paintings hang.
Recent improvements in color
photography and printing now
make it possible to bring the art
of the world to even smaller towns
and villages through the medium of
faithful reproductions. These re-
productions are true to the origin
ais in all respects, with the possible
exception Of size. Even the most
delicate variations in color are
maintained. In most instances the
brush strokes in the original pic
ture are clearly discernible.
IT feel that we are fortunate in
deed to be able to bring to Red
Lodge collection Of these splendid
pictures"

SIMMONS RETURNS FROM BUSY SESSION,
REPORTS LEGISLATORS DID GOOD WORK

"I was chairman of the senate
committee investigating the state
commission dismissed by
Ex-Gov. Holt and, as all this work
was done after adjournment, I was
busy~night and day.
"An idea of the amount of tes-
timony taken-and I conducted
most of the questioning-can be
determined from the fact that no
less than 568 pages were tran
scribed. Our first girl reporter tir-
ed out and gave up after the first
1868 pages and we had to get an
other one to finish it out"
All this work was not without
appreciation, however. Simmons
stated that the senate voted thanks
to the committee for the compre-
hensive report which was adopted
by the senior body.
It is we'll known, too, that Sim

EDGAR YOUTH IS
Put ON PAROLE

George Doty, 20, for the past six
months a resident near Edgar, con-
fessed here Friday Of last week to
burglarizing the Humphrey Garage
at Edgar early Friday morning.
He was arrested in short order by
W. H. Moore, llndersheriff.
In districtS2court Tuesday Doty
was sentenced BY Judge Ben Har-
wood to five years at hard labor in
the Montana state penitentiary.
Doty's youth and the fact it was
his first offense brought about a
suspended sentence, however, and
the Edgarite was placed on parole.
He must report once every month
to the state pardon board.
; Doty entered the garage by
breaking the glass in rear wind
ow, then pried opena small drawer
in the safe, the main door of which
was open. The drawer had no
money but had papers considered
of value to the garage. Doty buried
the box behind Al barn near Edgar,
according to the confession made
here, and Carbon isaEiff officials
phoned the information to Edgar.
Later the youth accompanied offici-
ais to where the box was buried.
Grilled by Sheriff J. R. McFate
and Moore, Doty readily confessed.
Moore left Red Lodge at 10 a. m.
Friday and apprehended Doty by
noon. The undersheriff tracked
Doty by footprints made in the
mud behind the garage building.
