Two Local Firms
Burglary victims

The City Hardware, operated
by Weston Whaley, was burglar
lied sometime between 5 and Z
a. m. Wednesday, entrance being
gained by crashing the plateglass
in the front door.
A check CT stock by Mrs.
Whaley indicated that a high
powered rife and possibly am
munition was taken.
Whaley was at the store brief
time earlier than what is pre-
sumed to have been the time of
the burglary. He had gotten up
early to go goose hunting and had
called at the store to get some
hunting supplies.
Approximately a year ago the
store was burglarized, the bur-
glars entereing by crashing a
rear window.
The previous evening around
II Potter's Market was also vic
tim, one of the front display win
dows being crashed. The place..
however, was not entered, those
responsible being content with
what they could reach on a groc-
cry shelf close to t h e window
opening.
The latter burglary. it is be-
lieved, was committed by juven-
lies. The hardware store burglary
appears to have been the work of
mature persons.
Potter's Market last year was
victim three times. each time

DdlUSOrl On C.. N,
1850 Calendar

A doughty, 87-year-old white
man has run the Blackfeet off the
face of Great Northern Railways
famed Indian calendar. But, for
one year only!
T h e railways 1850 calendar
will feature Tom Dawson, color
full Rocky Mountain guide, big
game hunter a n d a veteran of
Canada's Riel rebellion.
When Winold Reiss, disting-
uisned painter of American In
dian types, was commissioned by
Great Northern in 1947 to pro-
duce new Blackfeet Indian port
rats, he met Dawson in Glacier
National Park, where Tom lives.
The rti t persuaded the still
rugged Dawson to sit for port
raft in his Id hunting clothes
and with his favorite rifle. The
resultant portrait was selected
for the railways 1850 calendar,
and, Tom Dawson becomes the
first white man to have his pic
ture on the calendar which has
featured Blackfeet Indians since
it first was published in 1892.
Dawson, descendant of minor
Scottish nobility, was born in
1862 in historic Fort Benton,
Mont. His father, Andrew Daw-
son, was a furtrader among the
Sioux, Blackfeet and Crow In
dams and was known as the
king of the Missouri. Young
Dawson was returned to Scotland
as a child, attended school in Ed
inburgh and was apprenticed to
a shipbuilder.
He returned to North America,
and after the Riel rebellion went
to the Montana region W h i c h
! a t e r became Glacier National
Park. Dawson h a lived there
since the late eighties.

Baker Instantly
Killed In Car
Crash On No. 2

VI UC11 VII lVUs 4
Leo M. Baker, as, a resident Of
Browning for the last 20 years,
was instantly kille d Tuesday
evening when his Hudson car
crashed into a parked Ford truck
on Highway No. 2 at a point near
the turmoil of the Merriwether
road. According to t III e panel
clock, which stopped at 1905,
the tragedy occurred at that
time.
A companion, who was sharing
a ride with him from Cut Bank,
Mrs. Alma McGovern, survived
and was rushed to the Blackfeet
Hospital in an ambulance of the
Beck Funeral Home.
AS determined by an investiga-
ton by County Coroner Beck,
Highway Patrolman Anderson
and Sheriff Armstrong, the truck,
a l94l Ford model, owned by
Charles Reevis, had been left at
the site of the tragedy a short
time earlier when his son, Lloyd,
II, had run out of gas, while on
his way home to Browning from
the WEIGH ranch. He was &C.
companied by two other youths,
Earl Butterfly and Tom Dog Gun.
In the predicament, as they
explained to investigators, they
continued their way by hitch
hiking, finally being picked up by
a car occupied by Margaret
Yellow Owl and Joe Rather. In
vestigators said that the truck
had been left without flares or
lights as a safeguard for passing
traffic. Young Reevis.. t hey
said, was operating t h e truck
without a drivers license.
Patrolman Anderson ticketed
him on the complaint of park
ing on a highway without flags,
flares or lights, as to cause an
accident, and of having no
drivers license"
Mr.. and Mrs. T O m Cobell of
Browning, who were driving
eastward that evening, had pass
ed the Baker GER a quarter mile
or so east of III e tragedy scene
and had noticed the parked truck.
They expressed apprehension
lest the passing car would meet
wit h misfortune. Mrs. Cobell
looked back and beheld what the
couple had feared. They turned
back and were h e first to give
rescue.
Both Baker and Mrs. McGovern
were in the car. The Cobells ex-
tricated Mrs. McGovern from the
wreckage. Baker. however, was
so wedged in that investigators.

ed for Is minutes before t h e Y
could extricate him.
The impact of the crash W S
so terrific that the steering wheel
post was bent upwards at a sharp
angle. Baker being thrown for
ward against the wheel. Imprints
of the wheel were buried deep in
his chest, which apparently had
been Severely crushed. There was
also evidence of a fatal fracture
of the frontal bone, Of the fore
head.
Mrs. McGovern suffered Sc

EDWARD H. FAITH

who lost his life over Germany
the 18th of February, 1914. Five
years ago.
Near shady wall rose once grew,
Budded and bfossomed in Gods free
light,
Watered and fed by morning dew,
Shedding its sweetness day and night.
AS it grew and blossomed fair and tall
Slowly rising to loftier height,
1t came to a crevice in the wall
Through which there shone a beam oi
light.
Onward It crept with ad0ed strength
With never thought of fear or pride,
1t followed the light through the
crevice's length
And unfolde ed itself on the other side.
The light, the dew, the broadening view
were round th3 same as they were
before.
And ID lost itself in beauties new,
Breathing its fragrance more and more
Shall claim of death cause us to grieve
And make our courage faint and fall9
Nay! Let us faith and hope receive -
The rose still grows beyond the wall,
Scattering fragrance far and wide
Just as it did in days of yore,
Just as it did on the other side,
just as it will forevermore.
Yours forever dearly loving

and Aunt and cousin Bobby.
