Warehouse Pleads Guilty
to Burglary.

A breakin at the Pacific Hide and
Fur company'S warehouse and theft
of 80 coyote pelts early Thursday
morning brought Frank H. Liberty
54,, a three-year prison term for
burglary when he pleaded guilty be-
fore Judge John Hurry in district
court here Saturday morning.
Liberty was arrested at Malta
Thursday afternoon, where he had
sold l6 of the hides under the name
of Frank Brown of Nashua. The
other hides were recovered at the
Malta depot, where he had checked
them. He had been employed by the
fur company until recently. His ar
rest came after Sheriff E. L. Nc
Pherson and Fred Hutto, warehouse
manager, called officers and dealers
in northern Montana.
Liberty admitted the breakin and
theft, the sheriff said. A window was
broken and then Liberty said he
crawled between bars on IL, spaced
about ten inches apart. He took the
train to Malta the same morning.
Hutto said Liberty had worked
for him at the warehouse from last
November until a. few days before
the theft. Liberty admitted he was
under suspended sentence on a for
gerry charge at Spokane in January,
1943.
The sheriff said Spokane author

CROSS
FUNDS NEAR
S7,OOOMARK
BrOcksmith Says County Has
Raised 60 Percent of
S11,500 Goal.
Urges All Citizens to Make
Contributions Now to
Close Campaign.

Reports received today have
raised receipts in the Red Cross
War Fund drive to more than
$1,000, Chairman C.. IL. Brock
smith reported. An additional
report from Lustre has raised
its total to S549, compared with
a $500 quota, while Glentana
has reported s163 Of its $3.50
quota.
Valley county this morning had
raised S6,667 of its S11 500 goal in
the current Red Gross War Fund
campaign, it was announced by C..
H. Brocksmith, county chairman.
Actually, he said, the fund total is
probably higher, but he has not re-
ceived reports from chairmen in
some communities so the figure in
cludes only actual cash collections
reported.
Opheim is way over its 1915 quota
and is still raising money, he said.
Also well over the top" is Richland.
Oswego has reached and passed its
quota, as has Vandalia.
Frazer has reported $216 of a $500
quota. Beaverton, with a quota OF
OF $500, has reported Sl27. OSwego's
500 has been swelled to Silt. Van
dallas reports of $3.50 collected is
over its $3.50 goal. Richland reports
1927 with a $3.50 quota. Lustre has
1897. with a quota of $500. Glasgow
has a quota of $500. Collections re-
ported up to this morning we're
s2,978. Only partial reports are in
from Glasgow rural areas and sew
eral city volunteer solicitors have
not made returns.
There is still a long way to CO."
Mr.. Brocksmith commented. I'VE
need the active help and support of
every resident in Valley county to
meet u goal of S11 ,500. While this
quota marks an increase W last
it is a very small reflection
of the great burden the Red Cross
has assumed in its services to mil
lions of American men at home and
abroad"
He again urged every citizen who
has not been solicited to get in
touch with a worker and make his
contribution. He also asked for re-
ports from community chairmen,
that it is possible in some
cases that community quotas have
been reached but have not been re-
ported.

Feed within Short
Distance of Town

Mallard by the thousands were
feeding this week within a few hun
dred yards Of the Glasgow city linn
its. The birds, presumably among
the many that wintered near Fort
Peck and elsewhere this season,
have been feeding in fields and
strawstacks on the Albert Nelson
farm just south of the city dixie.
Many Glasgow people have OBJ
served the mallards and some have
estimated that as many as 5000
have been in the fields from Mel
sons to the Walker place. The mall
lards allow approach to within a
few yards before they fly.
The Valley Sportman's association
this week purchased the stacks on
the Nelson farm so they al be
spread and enable the birds to get
ample feed. Sportsmen said the
mallards probably will fly north in
