Great Falls "Bun,"
Has Cash ADlenty

A ragged, dirty, bewhiskered man
of about 10, with a hungry look in
his eyes, awakened the pity of Great
Falls officers assigned to the skid
row beat Of police.
Chief Of Police Harold NJ. Mady said
the aged man was seen plodding slow
ly through alleys at various times and
officers thought he was getting food
from garbage cans and sleeping
wherever he could find a secluded
nook.
When searched, he was found in
possession Of Sl70 in travellers checks,
a s35 bank draft and about $50 in
cash. He made no statement.
He was given a bath, a good meal
and his reserve of cash was slightly
depleted to buy him suitable clothes.

ANACONDA-"The notable reduc-
ton in the number OF man-causeo
fires in the Deer Lodge forest area is
a good indication of the care oelng
exercised by those using the forest
lands" Eric White, district ranger lor
the United States forest service o11lce
in Anaconda, said. This reduction Is
especially evident in the heavily used
parts of the forests, in spite OF the
much heavier growth of grass and I'M
derbrush this year. Care is still neces-
sary in the forests when building 1lres
or smoking, and must be continued IN
the coming hunting season. But the
past few months shows that campers
and picnickers can and will be careful
when they realize how important that
care is" he added.

Three Killed, 70 Hurt

Southern's RoyoI Palm
Crashes Through

VALDOSTA. Ga, Nov. 23.-Three
persons were killed and more than
score injured near here yesterday
when the Southern Railways Royal
Palm passenger train crashed
through a burning trestle spanning
the shallow Withlacooc River.
Those killed were R. H. Stevens,
50, railway mail clerk of Atlanta:
j. w. Mcclellan, So, of Earle, Ark,
and Corpl. Thomas G. Vest of Char
lotte, N. c.
Twenty of the injured were treat
ed at Valdosta hospitals, and others
received first aid treatment at the
scene of the wreck. None was re-
ported seriously hurt.
Six Cars Derailed.
The two engines of the train
passed over the 800-foot trestle, but
two mail cars and six of eight pas
senger cars were derailed, most of
them overturning down a 12-foot
embankment. One car came to rest
in the river, which was running
only one-foot deep.
Ambulances and doctors were dis
patched from here to the wreck
scene, about 4 miles north of the
city.
The train was en- route from
Cincinnati to Florida.
There was no official explanation
of the fire, which destroyed the
bridge, but some sources said it
might have been started from woods
fires.
Sam Amos, fireman on the second
engine, told investigators the bridge
gave way while his locomotive was
passing over it.

she softly worked nearer and nearer
until, peeping from behind a big
stone in the old wall, she could see
Chatterer the Red Squirrel, Peter
Rabbit and Sammy Jay talking so
busily, and 50 much excited, that
they didn't seem to be paying at
tention to anything else.
Sammy Jay was safe because he
was sitting In an old apple tree, but
Chatterer was. on the old wall and
Peter was on the ground. Which

the biggest and best breakfast, but
Black Pussy hadn't forgotten the
terrible kick he had once given her
when she had caught little Miss
Fuzzytail up in the Old Pasture, and
she had great respect for Peters
stout hind legs. She would be con-
tent to catch Chatterer this morn
ing. She hated him, anyway. for he
had been very saucy to her many
times. He would never make fun of
her or call her names again.
More slowly and more carefully
than ever Black Pussy stole forward.
Her eyes grew yellow with excite
ment, and fierce and cruel. At last
she reached a place where one good
jump would land her on Chatterer.

She didn't know enough about the
ways of the little people OF the Green

West opened the king Of hearts
and South examined the hand care
fully before making even single
play from the dummy Should he
try to establish his own hand by
ruffing out diamonds, or should he
try to establish dummy by ruffing
out the queen of clubs and heart
or two?
Then he noted that the slam con-
tract could be fulfilled If he could
make separately the eight trumps
present in the dummy and his own
hand. Those eight tricks, together
with the four top cards in the side
suits, would make up the quota.
Hence declarer won the first trick
in dummy with the heart ace,
cashed the club ace, discarded his
remaining heart on the club king
and ruffed the three Of hearts with
the five OF spades. Next he cashed
the diamond ace and ruffed q dia-
mond with dummy's six Of spades
A heart run with the eight of
spades followed and then another
diamond run with dummy's 10 OF
spades. Dummy then led the jack
Of hearts and South ruffed with the
nine OF spades.
At this point. nothing could stop
South. He had made all his small
trumps and could not be overruffed
any more. He led another diamond
to ruff with dummy's king and West
had to waste one OF his trumps in
futile under-ruff Next dummy
returned a club, and South ruffed
with the queen-while West under
ruffed vainly again. South took his
