Hurdin Detects For
sYth and Loses To Miles
City Lost Week

In a weekend jaunt which
took them to Forsyth and Miles
City, the Hardin Bulldogs led
by Coach Hugh Gotham defeated
Forsyth q to 16 on Friday night
but went down the following
evening before the fast-break-
ing Miles City outfit by a SO to
"a sount.
Coach Gotham stated this
week that due to the size of
the Forsyth gym it was impos-
sible to tell what the relative
strength of the two teams would
be. However, in the Miles City
game, it was a case of a fast
breaking, smoothly n in g
team being just too good for
the locals. The HardiniteS
couldn't seem. to solve Miles
City'S zone defense and did not
get a good short shot all even
ing.
Tomorrow evening, Friday, the
Bulldogs will meet the crack
Roundup quintette at 8 o'clock.
Roundup, champions of the
southern division in 1914, will
put the same team which won
the championship on the floor
here tomorrow. Two weeks ago
this team met Miles City and
emerged on the long end of a
40 to Is score. This gives local
fans an idea of the calibre of
play to be expected tomorrow
night, said Gotham.
In preparation for the game
Gotham has been drilling his
charges in cracking a zone de-
Tense. In this way he hopes the
locals may give a better account
of themselves before the home
town supporters.

TRAIN KILLS CROW
WOMAN WE'D. AM.
Grace Three Irons
Steps Into Path o.
Special Troop Trdin

Stepping in the path of an
oncoming troop train, Mrs.
Grace Three Irons was fatally
injured at the Crow Agency
station Wednesday morning.
Mrs. Three Irons was on the
way to the station to get water
for the family use, and know
ing that No. AZ had already
left the station, apparently did
not see the approaching troop
train, which is said to have been
slowing down as it approached
the station.
Mrs. Three Irons was totally
deaf and it is alleged that no
one was on duty to warn the
woman as she crossed the
tracks. Stepping into the path
of the train she was struck
down.
First attempts by the train
crew to free her from the
wheels of the train proved
fruitless, and it was not until
the train was backed up that
she was freed, witnesses de-
clared.
Mrs. Three Irons was still
living when removed from the
tracks, but died within a few
minutes, it was SAID.
Coroner J. w. Bulls said late
Wednesday that no plans for an
inquest have been made, al
though it is possible one may be
held later.
The body was brought to the
Bulls Crilly Mortuary in Har-
din

 J. Wainwright

BAGUIO, Philippines, Sept. 4 - The last 40000 Japanese in the Philippines were surrendered in a minute ceremony yesterday by the now docile Tiger of Malaya, , Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita, to It. Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright. the hero of Bataan and Corregidor.
 Wainwright flew here from Japan, where he witnessed the general surrender ceremony aboard the Missouri Sunday, and settled an old sccre with the one-time boastful Japanese conqueror.
 "The war in the Philippines is now over" he said at conclusion of the tense ceremonies.
 Yamashita was no longer the arrogant, boastful general who &C., cepted the surrender of Singapore in February, 1942. from It. Gen. Sir Arthur Percival, the British commander who also attended yes terdays signing of terms similar to those agreed to earlier by high Japanese officials on Tokyo Bay.
 Remains Standing
 The six-foot Japanese general, Nippon's number one military hero after his capture of Malaya and Singapore and leader of the futile fight against Gen MacArthur's re- turn to the Philippines, started to sit down as soon as he entered the U. s. High Commissioner resi- dence at this summer capital, but was ordered to remain standing
 Later, he was allowed to sit down for the signing.
 Yamashita was immediately put behind the bars of the new Bilibid prison, Is miles south of Manila.
 The unchy conqueror of Singapore entered cell block No. l in which he has single cell with two barred, screened windows look ing on the prison courtyard filled with members of his beaten forces
 The white washed cell contains cot, two chairs and table. He is flanked in the cell block by six previously captured general officers who formerly operated under his command
 Demand Vengeance
 Outside the prison, Filipinos are demanding Yamashita's trial ano execution for the various atroci- ties committed during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines.
 The Manila Post said the Japa- nese general was directly respon- sible for slaughtering thousands oi civilians in Manila last February And the Daily News suggested that he receive the same treatment that his troops gave Filipinos in the same Bilibid Prison a few months ago.
