Libby Woman
Knew james Bows

Eyes, knew Jesse and Frank
James said Mrs. N. L. Saunders,
former resident of Missouri and in
habitant of Libby for the past Is
years L became acquainted with
them when they used to stop at my
fathers farm near Bethany, Mis-
souri,"
Mrs. Saunders was only Is years
of age at the time the James boys
were starting their crime career.
Her father, William Daily, was the
owner of ranch on the main ira
veled highway between principal
cities of Missouri and Iowa 1t was
an every day occurance for him to
house some traveller who could not
travel the distance between the
points of habitation. In this way
the mountaineering between the
Dailys and the James boys came
about
MY father housed and fed those
outlaws many times knowing them
to be such but he didn't want to stir
up trouble by telling them he would
not take them in. They were nice
enough appearing fellows but their
reputation was we'll enough known
SO as to enable them to get what
they wanted without asking twice.
Mrs. Saunders continued, Il saw the

The Daily farm was about &c
miles from the home of the James
boys. Mrs. Saunders said she be
lieves that the boys were forced tc
do the things they did and that
they were not as bad as they were
painted.

Peculiar Accident
Kills Mountain Sheep

Clicked to death by strand of
telephone wire was the fate that be-
fell a handsome, large buck noun
tain sheep in the Big Creek dis
trict some time during the past few
months.
Deputy Game Warden Dorring-
ton and Graham Caldwell, superin-
tendent of the Libby fish hatchery,
were in the Big Greek district last
week They were told of dead
mountain sheep and finally located
the carcass. The buck evidently had
become entangled in some emer-
gency telephone wire laid down by
fire fighting crew. The wire was
wrapped around the body of the
animal and one strand was tight
around the base of the neck, prob
ably choking the animal to death.
The bones had been picked rather
clean by coyotes.
The skeleton showed that the buck
was handsome one, the head and
horns being especially large.
When forest crews are fighting
bad fires, it frequently becomes
necessary to law down telephone
wires for emergency purposes. AS
the fire crews move away, the wire
is often left on the ground The
death of the buck was one of those
accidents that could not be fore.
seen. Someone has said that trag
edy takes the lives Of practically al
wild animals; few of them die ;

Has Attractive Window.

Outstanding in simplicity and
beauty was a window at the Rich
ard & Miller store the past week.
It was in honor of Poppy Day. A
winding path leads to a cemetery
gate. Behind that gate are white
crosses emblematic of the white
crosses standing in foreign lands
and marking the graves of fallen
American boys. The nations flag
and one of the American Legion
stand in places of honor AT one
side are framed copies Of that death

work Of Mrs. D. 0. Mount and Har-

to the purpose of the day.

PREMIUMS DROP.

With 1885 earthquake fading in
to history, people apparently are be-
coming less quake conscious" and
are buying less earthquake insur
ance, according to report by State
Auditor John ]. Holmes. In 1885
earthquake insurance premiums in
the state, mostly in Helena, totaled
Sl7,864, but 1888 saw only $295 paid
in quake premiums. The premiums
totaled $1,528 in 1896 and $1,796
in 1887.

Pole Is place called Ross Island.
Studies of the winds have been made
there, at sea level, and high up the
slope of Mount Erebus. Mount
Erebus is volcanic mountain which
rises to a height of 212 miles.
At sea level near Mount Erebus,
the winds almost always blow from
the east. Up the slope of Mount
Erebus, the story is the other way
around. Tests have shown that at
high levels the winds usually blow
from the west.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Mr.. Andrew Martin has written
that he went through "the great
BLIZZARD which took place more
than half a century ago.
II read with interest your account
OF the blizzard of January, 1888,
which covered six or seven States
and caused the loss of nearly 300
lives" writes Mr.. Martin. And I
wish to describe the conditions
which made this storm so deadly.
"In the forenoon a little rain fell
on blanket of snow. The snow
was about a foot deep. That was
in Union County, S. Oak, about 80
miles northwest of Sious City, Iowa.
"A cold wind set in about l o'clock.
1t blew 80 or 40 miles an hour, and
the surface of the snow was quickly
changed to a smooth field of ice
which stretched out in all directions.
Then about 4 inches of snow fell.
The wind whipped the snow into a
powder which was almost as fine as
flour. 1t was impossible to see any,
thing at greater distance than so
feet.
IT have good reason to remember

"A Little SATURDAY. Talk

the storm. At 4 o'clock, I went to
a school and spent an hour and a
half helping the teacher and chill
dren 60 from their small schoolhouse
to better shelter
It seems to me it was brave deed
for Mr.. Martin to dare that blizzard
for the sake of those in the little
schoolhouse. II he had not helped
them, perhaps they would have had
to stay there all through the cold
night.
The word blizzard" seems to have
grown out Of an old Morse word
meaning to blow" or to blast"
Certainly a real blizzard goes along
with blasting wind.
Winds are interesting subjects to
many persons. Perhaps we shall
have one or more stories about them
later this year.
Now I want to take up one little
point about them-the fact that in
a certain place they may blow in
opposite directions at the same time.
OF course I mean at different levels,
but above the same spot.

There was nothing to the play
of the hand 1t is given as an
example of how natural bidding
methods allowed North to show the
king of hearts.
North's opening bid was, of course,
minimum, which he clearly showed
by his bids of two no-trump and
four spades, and showed once more
when he merely went from five
hearts to five spades. Now when
r South continued to show controls by
his six-club bid, North realized that
his king of hearts might be very
important card Hence, North bid
six hearts. showing that king, where
upon South was able to bid the grand
slam.
1t will be noted that if North
held the king of clubs instead of
the king of hearts, the grand slam
would have depended on heart
finesse and should not have been
bid.

Answer-Your correct bid is four
spades. Although you have only
three trumps, there is strong pre-
sumption when your partner first
bids a spade and later three clubs,
that he holds a flve-card spade suit.
Three spades would be mere pref
erence, and while undoubtedly your
partner will bid four spades, you
might miss a slam. Three hearts
would be a sign-off and he might
even pass. Five spades would be
more than your hand warrants.
Score 100 per cent for four spades,
30 per cent for three spades, so per
cent for three hearts, 30 per cent
for five spades. 0 for any other bid.

The plan for water cooling with
two half-inch pipes was terrible
They could carry only half as much
water as the single 1-inch pipe.
In other words, the 1-inch pipe
had an area twice as great as the
