RECORD HARVEST
OF BETS SEEN

Farmers of the United States will
harvest record sugar beet crop this
year, providing enough sugar to give
every person in the nation an eight
ounce weekly ration for one year,
western beetgrowerS were told.
Neil Kelly of Washington predicted
to the United States Beetgrowers as
sociation, of which he is secretary,
that the national beet crop would total

doubtedly be harvested on time and
would surpass the previous record crop
of 1910 by 10000 tons.
The beet industry, Kelly said, pro-
duces only half of the nations sugar.
Frank A. Kemp of Denver, retiring
association president, declared that
rubber and sugar are teaching Ameri-
cans important lessons.
Rubber" Kemp said, was first
discovered in this hemisphere, yet
nothing was done about it. In
sugar, wiser policy saw to it that a
part of our needs was produced with
in our own boundaries and that do
mestic production today is not only
available but is the most important
stock of sugar in the nation"
Douglas E. Scalley, vice president
and general manager of the Utah
Idaho Sugar Co., was elected president
of the association. W. N. Wilds Of
Denver, president of the American
Crystal Sugar Co., was named vice
president. Wiley Blair Jr., Colorado

tribe, and was beloved by a good
looking young warrior.
The Assinniboines soon heard of
the attack on their camp, and the
capture of the girls. The lover was
overcome with sorrow at the news,
and going to the fort, he first shook
hands all around, and then announced
that he would not return without his
girl" He joined the rescue party, and
was the first one killed, when the
Sioux surrounded them and killed
them all. The two girls were also
killed.
Letellier speaks of the mild charac-
ter of the Assinniboines, and said they
did not go on war raids. Other writers
of that period found them quite as
warlike as other tribes.
From Fort Union, Letellier was dis
patched to Fort Berthold where he
writes, I'VE were welcomed by the old
Captain Kipp (James Kipp) ancient
Canada trader and associate of the
P. Chouteau Co.." and who later
helped Letellier to steal his infant
daughter from its mother, and take
her south to be educated.
Sarpy urged him to remain in the
employ of the company, but, says
Letellier, IT couldn't stand it any
longer" He returned to Quebec to
learn that his father and mother be-
lieved him dead. But the call of the
west was too insistent, and in Sep
tember, 1864, he returned to st. Louis.

of the bank, was watching us, and

Clark was known among the Indians
as -Four Bears" Whether this bear
was one of the four is not known, but
it must have taken a fine marksman
to aim correctly while in a boat buf-
feted by the current. Shortly after
the killing of the bear, the company
arrived at Fort Union where Letellier
was again hired.
AS before, he spent much of his
time in trapping wolves and foxes.
That winter the Indians reported that
for 100 miles from the fort, the coun-
try was covered with buffalo, and
there was plenty of other game, in
Guiding bears.
Stole Two Girls
Once, while all the men from the
camp of Assinniboines were at the
fort trading their furs, a band of
Sioux took advantage Of their absence
to charge the camp which was defend
ed only by the old men and the
women. These finally put the Sioux
to flight, but they took with them
two girls, one of them being daugh-
ter of the Assinniboine chief Crazy

Jesse James GaM& Once Obtuined.
Sanctuary in Montana Territory.

The James and Younger brothers,
who constituted one of the most no
torious gangs ever to operate in the
midwest, whose exploits have been
dramatized and rehashed in song,
story and film, once obtained sane
tuary for several months in what was
then Montana territory.
The gangs luster began to fade
rapidly after little affair at North
field, Mimi, where a bank robbery
turned sour and brought the roundup
soon afterward of the Younger fac
tion OF the Jesse James gang.
But while the boys were in Montana
they were still very much in the pub
lie eye and much in the minds of
midwest peace officers.
During their stay of several months
In Montana, their presence here was
known by certain officers of the ter
ritory, although those who were in
on the secret were very few, and they
were not molested during their stay
under an agreement that they should
attempt no funny business while here.
The story of their visit to Montana
was told years ago by the late Gen.
Charles S. Warren, one of the prom
inent residents of Butte, while in one
of his reminiscent moods. General
Warren served for six years as sheriff
of Deer Lodge county. He was a man
of initiative. of ability and of COOL
headedneSs.
One incident in particular which oc-
CURED during his term of office as
sheriff served to illustrate his cool
nerve as well as that he had views
of his own on morality in those days.
The story was told by General War
rem as follows:
1T was in 1873 or 1874, I don't re-
member exactly which, that Thomas
Napton, then one of the leading law
yers of Deer Lodge county, said to
me, I would like to have you come
to my office, as I would like to talk
to you on a business matter I went
along and when he said to me: You
have seen the rewards offered for
Jesse and Frank James and Cole
Younger and so on, naming the rest
of the gang
Some very big rewards were being
offered for them in those days, and
replied that I had seen the offers.
He said:
What would you do if Jesse James

Judge Napton said: Come back
here about or o'clock and I'll have
some papers I want you to serve I
was there as requested and was start
led at being introduced to Jesse James
and Cole Younger. was immensely
surprised at the intelligence of these
men, and we were not long in reach
ing an understanding.
Il could see at once that they want
ed immunity, and simply said: Mr..
Napton will inform you as to the
laws of the territory, and as long as
you do not break any Of them you
will not be interfered with. Should
there come requisition for your ar
rest and return to Missouri, I will
submit the paper to Mr.. Napton and
have him pass upon the legality of it.
The moment he gets the papers will
be an invitation for you to leave the
country
Il met them many times on the
road after that, and I am forced to
confess never knew whittier bunch
of fellows. They stayed in Montana
several months and never attempted
to do any business. One incident in
particular in my acquaintance with
these men will serve to show you what
sort of fellows they were.
IT was travelling from Pioneer to
Deer Lodge one day with $4,000 for
Donnell, Clarke g. Larabie's bank, and
met the James boys and Cole Young
er on the trail at Rock creek. Jesse
said to me: Sheriff. you've got a big
swag with you today. If you think
there's any danger, We'll ride with
you to Deer Lodge They stayed
around for several months and then
disappeared as strangely as they

team handed the Navy Department
stickmen their second consecutive
setback last night at Riverside

Unbeaten this year and defeated
only by Chet Adair's All-Stars last,
the Hoyas found the going tough
against the sailors but finally broke
the ice with a shot by Johnny Con-
way, assisted by John McQueeney
and Bob Pender, at $50 of the
opening period. Navy, meanwhile,
found itself powerless against the
Hilltoppers' stout defense although
it tightened up its own defensive
work.
Paul Routh made it 20 for
Georgetown at 15:45 of the second
period on an assist by McQueeney
and there was no more scoring until
midway in the final session when
the Hoyas whacked in two quickies
to clinch matters. McQueeney, TAX
ing the puck from Pender. got the
first at 8:22 and John Cassidy, as
sisted by Dick Fullam, netted the
second.
Navy rallied in the closing min
utes of play and Phil Dean took a
pass from Dick Wood for its tally
at 1850. Warren Colby counted the
last with Hans Carsternson lending
