Mr.. Howard said Tancous de-

out how he entered this country
from Germany.
Pursuing Tancous is not new
for Mr.. Howard. He followed his

Youth Takes Own Life
On Highway Near Town

The body of John D. Hughes,
49, who died at t h e Veterans
Hospital at Helena last Thursday
night, following a suicide attempt
on Highway No. 2, north of
Browning, the previous day, was
forwarded to his home at LeCen-
ter, Minnesota. His mother, Mrs.
Evelyn Hughes, arrived at Helena
from there W h e n notified of the
tragedy.
Hughes for a short time h a d
been employed in accountancy at
the Glacier Park Hotel.
According to County Coroner
Beck, Who investigated the
tragedy, there was no known
motive as far as he could deter
mine.
Hughes was found at the edge
of the highway with a .32 auto
matte in his right hand and suf-
fering a gunshot wound through
his skull. Investigation failed to
reveal how he got to the scene of
his rash act, presumption being
that he had probably hitch-hiked
from Glacier Park.
Still conscious when picked up
by S t a t e Highway Patrolman
Henry Helf, who was accom-,
panied by Indian Service Officer
Jim Walters and Walter Magee,
retired from the Indian Service,
Hughes was rushed to the Black.
feet Hospital for emergency treat,
ment. He was taken that even
ing to the Veterans Hospital at

Registrations continue to main

records show the names of visit
ors from practically all sections of

A serious drawback to a larger
number of visitations, he pointed
out, was the lack of t wo large
81 gns in the proximity of the
museum, W h ic h would attract
many not knowing of the exist
ence of the institution. Without
these, the institution is presum-
ed by them to be a mansion or
private institution.
However, Mr.. Schaeffer is we'll
pleased with the growing interest
in the institution, the visitations
showing a splendid representation
from all sections.
The museum is open daily and

Sheep Shearing Under
Wav On Reservation

Sheep shearing, which has been
under way for the last few weeks.
will be completed by the end of
June. according to reported head
way from various outfits now at
work.
Last week R. A. Finley, largest
of resident operators, finished
shearing his $4,000 head. He al
so sheared 1000 head at Chinook.
Finley's wool was shipped to
the National Wool Growers Mar
keting Association at Boston, to
be marketed by that agency for
him. A number of other growers
in this locality have their product
marketed by the same associa-
ton.
The wool market at present
isn't showing a great d al of
activity, Finley said. despite it's
being one of the most needed of
commodities.
Several months ago Dan Nc
Allister, agent for t h e Colonial
Wool Company of Boston, bought
several | o c a | clips at 60 cents.
That kind of money right n W
simply isn't.
