Armed Escapee Picked
Up by Officer Walter

Wayne Taylor, IS, who recent
ly escaped from the State Re-
formatory at Miles City, was
picked up by Federal o f i c r
George Walter in front of the
Tribal Store Tuesday night upon
information from Cascade County
officers that he might be in this
area in hiding out. Walter said
that he carried a loaded German
luger. Also in his possession
was quantity of ammunition,
Walter said. The youth was
turned over to County Sheriff
Armstrong.
The youth is under suspicion
by Cascade authorities of having
recently committed store bur
glaries in Great Falls. The weap
on he catried indicated such ar
implication, Walter said.
Offering little resistance when
he was taken in custody, he
was nevertheless quite hoastful OF
his escape from the State Re
formatory.

90 small fry from the kinder
garten and first grade for a
Christmas party. A large tree

busy making toys to come down
for the party, but he was sending
Mrs. Santa in his place. After
gifts were distributed the small
guests were taken to a long table
where milk, cookies and lots of
Christmas candy were served.
Christmas carols were sung by
all, after which it was time to 60
home. Everyone enjoyed them
selves, but there are many Girl
Scouts with a deep warm feeling
of pleasure in their hearts be-
cause they saw little e yes light
up with delight when a gift was
handed to their small owner.

that the disposition of the sur
plus material removed from the
White House will be in a manner
consistent with it's symbolical value
and without commercial exploita-

The Third Congressional Dis

items of high historical Importance
will probably be allocated to the
larger museums of similar insti-
tutions of a public character"
According to present plans, nc
chanrge will be made for the mat

probably be made to cover the
cost of packing and shipping.
In addition to the museum
pieces, the material comprises
stone, brick, pine timbers, floor
boards, old fashioned nails,
wrought iron bands, hand hewn
lathe and small plaster ornaments.
"Most of the material is suitable
for processing by the recipient in

Breen said.
He said museums, colleges,

By LUX Virgil Overbea

CHICAGO (ANP)- Ezzard
Charles, heavyweight champion of
the world, probably will not fight
again until September, according
to Truman K. Gibson Jr., secre-
tary of the International Boxing
club. He made this statement af-
ter medical examinations here re-
vaeled that Charles would not be
ready to fight for 80 days.
Gibson said that the IBC has
postponed all plans for fights at.
least until Septmeber when the
champion is slated to be featured
imam outdoor fight in Chicago.
eve are interested first in this
mans health" Gibson sand, as he
discussed Charles. "We do hot
want him to take any chances in
the ring until he is fully recover
ed"
Although a bruised heart mus
Gle suffered intraining is given
out by Charles handlers as the
official reasonfore his ill health,
Gibson revealed something that
is little known.
Between fights, Charles has
worked doubly hard in Cincinnati
helping to build a recreation Ger
ter for youngsters.
"Charles," the IBC secretary
said, "has spend much of his time
doing the actual maual labor in
the construction of this center.
This labor plus the strenuous fight
routine he has followed since win
ming his title last year has ever
worked him. He is a victim of
strain and nothing more"
Discussing his own IBC plans
for the future, Gibson said the re-
suit of Charles physical examin-
alton in Chicago changed some of
the plans but he still has a few
good heavyweight bouts left. He
commented.
cot course we still have the
Satterfield-Om bout coming up
May II. On the same card is
young Johnny Holman who would
make a good match with the win
ner of the main bout if he scores
a sensational victory over Amelio
.Agramente."
