Pennsylvania Amish Families

Together with other members of
their picturesque sect from Mifflin
county, the group has acquired 1850
acres of "cheap" land in St. Mary 5
county, Md, forty miles south of
Washington, D. C.
Mr. Stoltzfus described it as land
of long-idle farms, some rundown.

with that cheap land" he said, adding
the hope the move will be "better for
my family and my church in few
years."
The peace-loving sect originated in
Italy and Switzerland, taking the lead
ership of Jacob Amen in 1878. Perse-
cution followed as they moved from
place to place, seeking good land and
tolerance from their neighbors.
Some sailed to Canada-where many
still can be found-and settled even

Pennsylvania. Through the years they
have retained the peculiar dress and
customs of their homeland.

set the dope bucket, the highly
favored Shelby Coyotes lust

the inspired Browning Indians

utes of the game.
When the initial quarter had
hardly got under way Edwards
Shelby guard hit the net for
counter. Higgins and Stevens
tied the ball game up with two
charity losses. and the rest of
the quarter was scoreless with
both t-ams having good defenses
with Browning piercing the
Coyote defense a few times but
not m king their shots and the

The second quarter opened
with McNamer, Coyote center,
getting hot underneath the bas-
ket and before the half he had
3 field goals and gift shot and
his teammate Marmont added
foul try. On beautiful execut-
ed play Higgins made a set.up
and short while later Rankin
Brown added another tally on
short shot and when the half
ended Browning was trailing 6
10 10.
In the third quarter Fredell
and McNamer hit the hoop for
counters for Shelby and Stevens

apiece and then Barlow swished
the net on free throw and Cal
Brown did likewise to bring the
score ii to II in favor of Shelby.
In this quarter the Indians out
scored Shelby. From the third
quarter mark on the game was
rough and few fouls were call
ed on both teams.

beginning of the fourth stanza
when the local boys with Croft
hitting the hoop for a counter
and Barlow making a gift shot
and Shelby boy making a shot
from the hole making the score
read l6 to Ii with three minutes
to GO. In the last 3 minutes the
Browning team was little over
anxious and Edwards, McNamer
and FredeII made 3 baskets to
put the game on ice. Just before
the end of the game Barlow
made a set.up to end the scoring
with Shelby on the long end of
the score - TO Is.

~ kipp Of Blsesfest Reservation Comes to Great
FslIs End Buys an AutomebiIs- Goes to Brown.
ing IN 10 Hours in Mis- New Buzz Wagon
Joe Kipp, a BIackfeet Indian,
is the first Indian in Montana
and perhaps in the country to
own an automobile of his own.
Kipp came to Great Falls a day
or so ago with high financial
backing or credit to buy an auto
mobile all for himself. Joe looked
over several cars in stock as to
their mechanism, tested the steer
ing gear. and in fact went over
the machines thoroughly. and
then decided in his Indian mind
that the best car for Joe Kipp,
Blackfeet Indian. was an Over
land. That the car not only sound.
ed good. but looked good to him.
Overland is right for Joe. He
wants to make fast trips to
Great Falls whenever he hears of
q big celebration or some other
such big event taking place down
here. He says: Il don't want to
miss another Fourth of July in
the Falls. especially not one of
those safe and sane Fourths.'
The automobile agent who ex-
planned the good points of his car
to Joe and convinced the Indian
that it was the car for him. told
Jee to get in and they started for
Browning Browning is 2l5 miles
away--2l5 miles of mighty rough
road, a distance that would have
taken Joe Kipp weeks to cover
had he travelled Indian fashion
with q pack horse dragging the
entire household outfit on a pair
Of long poles. The distance was
made in 10 hours and Joe enjoyed
the speed of it. With an auto
mobile to ride around in Joe will
be the society swell on the reser-
walton, envied by the men and
admired by the ladies.
Mrs. Mary Hunsberger states
that this building was built in
July, 1910, by Bob Stewart. John

says that Mr.. Hunsberger was a
subscriber to the Great Falls
Leader at that time and no doubt
had taken the paper to show the
other workmen the story of Joe
kipp and his automobile.
