Leopold has pleaded before several previous boards, and has taken hil case to the supreme court, where | is pending trial.
 Others from this city who were heard, but upon whom no action was taken by the board were: Jos seph Prohulis, serving 10 to IS years for the armed robbery of the Sam ditz-Traurig bank. He was sentenced in 1881. Charles Bowen, former New York detective, serving seven to 12 years for a rape count, with drew his appeal for hearing when his famous negro attorney, William Lewis, failed to appear to represent him.
 No Action
 John Salerno, serving one to four years on two burglary counts. He was arrested June IS, 1895, after having cleaned out the Capozzi dry cleaning company of 5000 worth of garments, and also North Main street store of a similar amount of new garments. In that robbery he even stripped the wedding gowns from models in the windows. The appeal was more or less to save Salerna from deportation, and was presented by Attorney Edward Mas colo. He read from a decision by a judge of a federal circuit of ap- peals, which was to the effect that to cause the deportation of man in such circumstances was to in reality to send him into exile. The decision of that judge was said to have been made in 8 Waterbury case.
 Mccarthy Refused
 Dennis McCarthy's appeal was also refused. He is serving a term of 20 to 30 years as an habitual offender. His sentence was imposed on a charge of breaking and enter ing a cellar at 109 Porter street, two months after having been re- leased from jail after serving term of three to seven years. The previ- ous sentence was imposed on a charge of aggravated assault on a railroad policeman, when he en- gagged in gun duel with members of the local police department and the railroad company. During that duel a man was killed, but it could not be proved that the bullet came from McCarthy's gun. Judge Newell Jennings imposed an original sen- tence of 15 years, but Mccarthy Smirked and said Cant you make it POP" The judge obliged. McCar- thy has a record that extends clear across the country.
 The appeal of George Stanko was also denied. He was sentenced from Litchfield, to serve 12 to IS years on . charge of breaking and enter ing into Sullivans drug store. At torney J. Gregory Lynch of this city appeared for him.

A MINES LEAGUE GEM

Mike Duffy was one of many Oregon
State college athletes to land a job in
the Mines baseball league when that
circuit was alive.
The Mique was a good catcher. He
did a fair job half backing for o. S. c.,

One day at Clark Park, the Montana
Power team was having a tough day.
Almost as many runs were scored as
there were players IN the two teams.

GAINS
I'm STATE Ali CLUBS
MORE THAN 1000 FARM BOYS AND
GIRLS ENGAGED IN WORK
IN A COUNTIES

More than 1000 Montana farm
boys and girls in hundreds of COM
munities in A counties engaged
in All club work during the year
Just closed, according to Ray E.
Cameron, state club leader at Mon
tana State college. The 1886 en-
rollme mt. shows 3Ss ,a g gain Sf . per-
6,5O8.
Although Montana's All enrolment
is small in comparison with states hav-
ing a denser population, the Treasure
states percentage of eligible boys and
girls is well towards the top of the
list, Cameron points out. To put it an
other way, n out of every seven
| farm boys and girls in the state were
enrolled in club activities during 1886.
This percentage compares very favor
ably with the United States average
of 10, or n out of every ID.
More important than large enroll
ment, however, is the percentage Of
completion among Montana All clubs.
Cameron's records indicate that club
members in this state are largely of
the type that finish the task they set
1000 young people who began work
/ last spring, 1854 percent completed their
projects. Club members in this state
have maintained a high rating in per-
cent of completion for a number of
years and in 1885 Montana tied for
third place in the United States, only
Maine and Rhode Island having a
higher percentage OF completion. .,
Backbone of Montana'S All club
program is a group of enthusiastic and
loyal adult leaders who volunteer their
services in guiding the clubs through
! their programs for the year. Last year
1921 of these local leaders assisted 81
agricultural extension agents in super
vising the activities of 799 organized
| clubs. These same local leaders and ex-
tension agents trained 460 judging
girls who participated in the state dress
revue in which they modelled costumes
made by themselves.
During the year 1,O49 local leaders
! attended IS leader training meetings
conducted by extension agents. In 20
| counties leaders have organized coun-
ty All leaders councils, an organiza-
| ton that enables leaders to take an
active part in assisting extension
agents in planning n supervising the
county club programs.
Much interest vas also hOWn last
year in camps, picnics and achievement
| days, Cameron's report shows. Twelve
All were conducted with a to-
tai attendance of 300. Twenty-six pic
MICS were held and 404 achievement
| DAYS held in 80 counties attracted a
total attendance of 1878 persons.
In the field Of exhibits, Cameron's
records show that All exhibits were
displayed at 80 different fairs, shows
and expositions during the year. AS to
the place that club work holds in the
eyes of air boards and secretaries, and
boards of county commissioners, Cam
eron cites the fact that $4,000 in pre-
miums and awards was offered club
members in connection with fairs dur
ing 1886. Through fat stock sales ar

agement of several fairs, Montana
