Dies Under Wheels of Auto

hunting proves was undimmed by
age, although for the past three years
the famous animal had been incapaci-
tated.
An often-told story of 'Dash's" last
hunting trip three years ago illustrates
how efficient a hunter he was even
at the age of 10.
Fairchild, with a group of fellow
sportsmen. went to the F1athead In
dian reservation, a widely known
pheasant area. Before the dogs owner
fired a shot. Dash" had laid at his
masters feet three birds, all crippled
by other hunters but not retrieved.
from rheumatism. requiring constant
care. Although badly crippled he
showed marked improvement in his
ailment whenever Fairchild picked up
a gun preparatory to a hunting trip.
The dogs owner often told friends he
had to sneak away on shooting ex-
petitions because Dash" felt so badly
if he could not go.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fairchild left for
vacation trip to California on a recent
Saturday, leaving Fairchild's mother
in charge of Dash and his son.
Don" The dogs, gripped by their
hunting instincts, wandered from
home toward the marshes south Of
Butte.
Three nights later Dash" limped
into a garage on South Montana street.
He apparently went to sleep under a
car. The auto driver, unaware of
"DaSh'S" presence, backed the machine
from the garage, running over the
once-great dog.
The Montana Standard printed a
front-page obituary of Dash and
simple funeral rites were held in the
rock garden of Mr. and Mrs Nick

WAR WILL BOOM
LIVESTOCK SHOW
CHICAGO EXPECTS LARGEST IN
TERNATIONAL EXPOSITION
IN HISTORY
Cancellation Of Fall Shows in Canada
Due to Conflict Abroad Likely TO
Send Larger Representations to Chi
cago Stock Yards Early in December.

One of the largest exhibitions In
the history of the International
livestock exposition is anticipated
by the management when the
show celebrates its 40th anniver-
sary this year Dec. . to at the
Chicago stockyards. According to
B. II. Heide, secretary-manager Of
the exposition, the early entry is
the heaviest it has ever been and
there have been more requests for
information relative to making en-
tries than at any time in the past.
Entries for the livestock departments
Of the exposition, with the exception
of the carlot classes, will close on
Nov. l. he says, and on Nov. 25 for
the carlot contests of fat and feeder
cattle, sheep and swine.
Crop exhibits for the 2lst annual
International Grain and Hay show,
the worlds largest competitive show
ing of corn, small grain, seeds and
hay, may be listed until Nov 90 There
is no entry fee in this division Of the
exposition.
Heide predicts an unusually large
exhibition of Canadian livestock, owing
to the cancellation of the fall shows
in Canada as war measure. In re-
cent years all provinces Of the Do
minion have been strongly represented
in both the livestock and crops de-
partments of the exposition.
The National All Club congress will
be held for the 18th time this year
in connection with the International
livestock exposition. Farm youths from
every state in the union will compete
in the congress for national honors in
scores of farm and home projects.

fares has been made by the railroads
to apply from many points along their
lines to Chicago during International
