Pot Bellies Bulge

HOLLYWOOD - There
are more pot-bllies in "The

any picture ever filmed at
Columbia. Lest you think
that includes the stars
Glenn Ford and William

added that the pot-bellies are

Burrows has always been a

If this is what Burrows ex-

ANACONDA COMING
FRIDAY FOR FIRST.
CONFERENCE GAME.
Smeltermen Said Seeking To
Reverse Last Years Sting
By L. HI. S. Locomotives

With two non-conference games
under their belts and in the books
as victories, the Locomotives are
looking forward to their first
conference clash of his week I'M
der he arcs at Laurel. The team
showed up we'll in its first two
games, but the scores were too
one-sided to really test the club.
This Friday the Purple and Gold
will see if it has anything be-
sides weight.
A nacond Central, although
pushed around considerably last
year by conference members,
served notice last week that it
would be in the fight for honors
when it dumped Dillon 80 to 0
in a non-conference clash. The
Anaconda roster is almost intact,
playing last year with almost an
exclusive freshman and sopho-
more group out of which develop
ed some fancy running backs, the
May brothers. The two schools,
Anaconda and Laurel, are old
rivals, having met twice as class
B schools for the Southern divi-
sion title, and splitting.
Last year the Locomotives went
one up in the series when they
rode rough-shod over the An
aconda hovc in the last pame of
the season. Anaconda didn't par
ticularly like it and say it is
going all out to avenge that
score and start the conference
play with a victory. The Loco
motives say they are going to
play their games one at a time,
realizing that some of the other
conference schools will be out to
avenge the sting by Laurel last
year in the schools first attempt

A 79-year-old Laurel woman,
Mrs. Katherine Reil of 419 For
rest avenue, was choked and
~severally beaten by a man who
called her to the door of her
home early Sunday morning and
demanded SO. Suffering of shock
and her injuries, the aged woman
later attempted to describe her
assailant to officers before she
was removed to a Billings hos
pital. Sheriff Albert Thomas said
Wednesday afternoon that his Of
flee and the Laurel police are
continuing the series of investi-
cations.
Mrs. Rel, a widow whose hus-
band was a blacksmith before
his death several years ago, lived
alone in her home at the south
end of Forrest venue Friends
say she related later Sunday
morning that a man knocked at
her door about 4 o'clock as day
breaking and asked for adj
mittance. When Mrs. Reil re-
sponded he demanded money. She
refused and he severely choked
and beat her, i~nflicting injuries
to her throat, head, chest and
arms. Subsequent X-rays at the
hospital are said to have reveal
I'd that she sustained no fractures
If her face bones when the man

W0LD TELLS KIWAN|S
OF KENS|NGTON STONE

The Kensington stone, once re
jected by archaeologists as spuri
GUS and now regarded by som,
as probably authentic, was dis
cussed at length Wednesday eve
ming at a meeting of the XII
wants club by O. M. Void, who
in his youth lived not far from
K~ensington, Mimi, where the
stone was found in 1898. After
years of debate, during which il
was viewed by European as well
as American authorities, it is now
III the Smithsonian Institution at
Washington, D. c., and has been
classed by some is perhaps the
most important discovery of its
kind so far made in America. If
authentic, as many nov believe,
including the speaker Void, it
confirms the belief that America
was discovered many times from
both the east and the west be-
fore Columbus sailed.
The speakers address closely
paralleled one he made recently
before the Rotary~c club, which was
reported in the Laurel Outlook.
He added some new material
Wednesday. In this was mention
of battle axes found in Mime
sofa, one on Wold's fathers
farm, that we're similar to ones
from the fourteenth century that
are displayed in a museum in
Norway.
The Kensington stone, known
in Wold's youth by Kensington
people and others as the runic
stone because it is carved with
letters from the alphabet of the
early Teutonic people, tells of an
expedition by Norwegians and
Swedes who penetrated as far in
land as Minnesota. 1t recorded
that 10 men had been killed, pre-
sumably by Indians, of which one
member of the expedition wished
to make a record.
The speaker traced the causes
for making the expedition by
command of the king of Norway,
who wished to "save his own
SOUL" according to a document
found 20 years ago in the ancient
royal archives. The saving pro-
for King Magnus consisted
of the expedition, which was COM
manded not to fail in finding
emigrants who in the
tenth century had established
colonies on Iceland and Greenland
and had not been heard from
since and might have lost their
faith. =.

WIN
1912 OFF FORSYTH
About 80 Laurel Men Play
In Game Here Friday
Now Work On Defense

Scoring on their first offensive
play and adding the second touch
down on the sixth offensive play,
the Laurel Locomotives registered
their second win of the season
over the Forsyth Dogies last Fri
day night on the arc-lighted new
playing field. Bill Sorg contin-
ued to give notice that he will
be one of the top prep gridsters
in the state this year by scoring
not only the first two touch
downs, but four of them before
the game was over, as well as
throwing a pass for another. In
the Powell game he scored twice
and tossed another pass for a
third.
The Forsyth team, although
outweighed, stayed with the Lau-
rel club during the first half,
marking up four of it's five first
downs, and putting on a sus-
tanned drive in the second quar-
ter for it's first score. Dick Rol-
ston, small but elusive sophomore
half back, took the eye of the
fans with his tricky broken field
running and scored both the
touchdowns for the visitors. The
half ended with Laurel out
in front ~ to 6.
The second half saw the small
Dogies give ground rapidly
to the heavier Locomotives and
only in the last period were they
able to gather enough steam to
tally against the reserves. Lau-
rel continued it's race for points,
chalking up 10 in the third and
Ia in the fourth periods. Dick
Nelson kickel three out of five
attempted conversion points.

N effort to improve the weak

SEN. BURKE TELLS OF
CANADA, ALASKA TOURS

about two trips he had made,
one to Canada and another to
Alaska, Sen. Tom Burke of Bill
lings said at a meeting Tuesday
that he found two much talked
about proposals in the north
countries that, if carried into exc
cution, would effect Montana. One
is the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
waterway to the Atlantic and the
other is travel overland between
Alaska and the States. j.. w.
Corwin, program committeeman,
presented Wayne Hageman who
introduced Burke.
The speaker lauded the cour-
tesy he and Mrs. Burke exper-
fenced at the hands of Canadians
when they toured the provinces.
On their first tour they entered
Canada in the Great Lakes area
and went eastward at moderate
cost from Duluth to Windsor.
Nearing Montreal they transfer
red to a smaller boat to cruise the
rapids, and transferred again to
a large nj to complete the jour
ney to salt water.
At the cost of three or four
battleships it is estimated, he
said, that dredging would bring
ocean-going ships to Duluth, l.
900 miles nearer Montana. The
benefits, as he heard the argu-
ments, included lessened cost of
transporting many Treasure State
products to market and lower cost
for bringing in manufactured
goods from the Atlantic seaboarj
and from abroad.
There is much opposition to the
proposal in some quarters, such
as Baltimore.
Last July the Burkes went
from Seattle to Alaska, via the
inside passage, at a cost of about
81 1000. Again the courtesy of
he Canadians was evident when
hey touched at Dominion ports
IN route. A pleasant custom of
he northern neighbors is four
meals a day.
At Ketchikan they encountered
George Handel, former Laurel
'esident who is living there and
working in a drug store as n
pharmacist. Some people re-
marked that Senator Burke
raveled far to do his political
campaigning.
Ashore, the travellers had an
experience with a narrow gauge
abroad that took them up 2,1O0
'eet in II miles to cross White
'ass and see the trail of the
miners who went that way in '98.
lake Bennett has a church that
ras erected by the miners as an
Expression of gratitude to Provi-
ence for sparing their lives on

In Skagway the tourists ran
the fiftieth anniversary of
he towns founding, with the en-
ire population participating in
festivities and wearing clothes
f the COS. The Dramatic club
ealistically presented the famous
illing of Dan McGrew. After the
art that called for shooting out
lights, one of the visitors was
)und hiding under a table.
