Sheriff Walter T. Galloway, to
whom horses are ordinarily four
legged critters that chase each
other around a track or else an
out-moded form of transportation,
is now in the horse-trading bus
mess, temporarily at least.
The Sheriff was Saddled with
the venture IAOD lin addition to
other duties-as they used to say
in the Army by Court order in
structing him to sell four of the
critters to satisfy a bill for train
ing and feeding them. The order
was handed down by Judge F.
Leroy Allen Tuesday in the ac-
ton of George Kumbo, Detroit,
against c. r. Baker, Redwood.

Another Job for the Sheriff
Court Order Puts Him in Horse-Selling

Baker had been training, feed
ing and otherwise caring for the
horses for Kumbo since October,
1948. Since then, Kumbo ran up
a bill of more than $1700 for their
feed and care. Finally Baker adj
vertised he was going to sell the
horses July Is to satisfy his feed
bill.
Before the sale could be held,
however, Kumbo filed action on
July II for an injunction prevent
ing Baker from going ahead. But
Baker, on July 81, cross-petition-
ed the Court to dismiss Kumbo's
claim, determine the amount due
him, and sell the horses.

to the Court that Baker informed
him sometime before the 1850
season began" that he would not
race the animals for Kumbo. The
latter said he paid Baker $400 but
Baker would still not race the

Tackles Big Problem
The tackle slots, in particular,
are WenzeIs biggest headache.
The principal trouble is lack of
boys with sufficient size and
speed to do the job right. So far,
the most likely candidate for one
tackle is Jerry Ruble, who was
reserve center last year. Other
likely prospects are Jimmy Day

Next to filling the tackle po-

Evening star., 1950-11-02
By George Kennedy

1t was the story of the flag of
Gettysburg that entranced the
members of the Association of the
Oldest Inhabitants last night at
their meeting in the old Union En-
gine House at Nineteenth and H
streets NV.
The story was told by William
E. Leahy, Washington attorney.
It was a story he had heard when
he was only S, he said. told at a
Fourth Of July celebration by an
old gentleman who had been a
chaplain in the battle that rolled
back the Confederate Army from
its northernmost penetration.
The former chaplain was wear
ing a Prince Albert. Mr.. Leahy
said, and he told of the consterna-
ton when Pickett's charge almost
broke the Union center. Three
regiments Of reserves were called
up to reinforce the threatened
position. The din of battle was
so loud that the men had to take
their direction from the flag
bearer.
The chaplain said he saw the
flag bearer shot down, but a man
beside him caught the colors and
marched on. He said he saw six
men carrying the flag shot and 1t
finally fell into the mud on that
day which was marked by rain.
The troops lacked direction, the
chaplain said, until a young man
seized a flag from cannon, only
a two-foot flag. He took only
three steps forward before he was
shot down. the chaplain said. But
his act had given direction to
the reserves. They went forward
and turned Pickett back.
The chaplain said that after the
battle he used a cannon spike
to pry that flag from the dead
hand Of the gallant young soldier.

used to say, still showing his ex-
element after many, many years,
"Why, sir, she could navigate through
the Straits of Gibraltar"
The excitement on the banks of
the Potomac that day was hides
cribable. There were boys running
along the bank of the river, trying
to keep up with the boat, and one
of these reported that he could not
do so. Rumsey went about a half
mile up the river, turned, and des-
cended to a little below his starting
point, and then went back up the
river and continued to make the
circuit for about two hours. All
this time the cheering was tremen-
dous, and each time the boat passed
the crowds of people, there arose a
great shout. And Rumsey alighted
from that boat the hero of his
people, acclaimed by the folks of
the community as a great man.
But after all the years of work,
and toll, and sacrifice, Rumsey was
never able to realize and financial
returns for his inventive genius
and his persistent efforts in carry
ing that ability out in practical form.
He was poor, his family poor, and
there were no wealthy friends to

come to his aid. And now that his
invention was proven, though in the
rough, he still could not manage to
get anyone interested enough to
back any plans for production of
steam boats. He spent the winter
in the Virginia Legislature trying
vainly to get help. So eventually
he went, by request of British
friends, to London, where his hopes
seemed to have promise. Here he
explained his invention to group
of influential and interested per-
sons, and in the midst of his ex-
plantations, he suddenly died.
Quoting from one historian, this
brief conclusion in indicative of the
passing of Rumsey, and the passing
of the steamboat from his name:
"Thus died James Rumsey, in the
midst of hopes of success, of years
of study and perseverance; and his
family and descendants have re-
manned unrewarded, and in povetry,
although the world of mankind have
availed themselves of his inventions,
and profited by them"

Ask Donations for
Kids PdrtY Fund

The drive for funds for the
annual children's party and
show at the Harriet theatre and
for street lighting and decora-
lions will start Monday, Dec. 4,
it was announced today.
In the past the solicitations
have been made only in the
business district. However, this
year, donation jars will be
placed in business houses
throughout the city to give pub
lie spirited citizens an opportu-
nifty to donate to the cause.
Last year approximately 1900
sacks of goodies were given out
at the children's party and the
street lighting was improved
and extended. Due to the high
err cost of materials last year
the Christmas fund fell about
$3.50 short, it was pointed out,
and this shortage was made up
by generous donations from in
rdividuals and groups.
It is hoped that this year the
contributions will be adequate
to cover the entire cost of the
project.

Minute Men Name
Coordinator
For Hardin Area

Cecil Ross of Hardin has been
appointed coordinator in the
Hardin area for the Montana
Minute Men, according to Flet-
cher Edwards, founder of the
neWly-organized group.
The Montana Minute Men is
a state wide security organiza-
ton holding a Montana charter
and composed of a selected
group of rancherS, Stockmen
and grain men. The organiza-
ton is non-profit, non-political
and independent of Governor
Bonner's program which is pre-
pairing to set up a disaster group
in the larger cities.
The Montana Minute Men will
cooperate with the government
tai organizations, but will act
Independently, Edwards said.
The organization was formed
about six months ago in Bill
lings by Edwards, Billings
rancher and businessman. 1t
now has about 600 members and
expects to boast of 1000 by the
end of 1850. CoordinatorS have
been established in Central and
Eastern Montana and are be-
ing appointed in the western
part of the state.
Edwards pointed out that the
MMM is not a vigilante group
and will not take law and order
in their own hands, but will be
interested strictly in outlying
security. He said radio stations
throughout the state have
pledged themselves to see that
important information reaches
the outlying members.
The organizations pledge
states, in part: ,
:" to uphold and defend
the constitution of the United
States of America; to aid in the
maintenance of law and order;
to foster and perpetuate. a feel
ing of security. During these
times of conflicting ways of life,
the principles of justice, free
dom and democracy are being
challenged by Communism. We
pledge ourselves to combat all
such forces either individual or
masses that jeopardize our free
dom: to safeguard the lives,
homes and properties of our
beloved state, Montana; to be
available at all times to act in
defense of these purposes, Of
fering our lives if necessary,
that liberty might endure"

DaWn-fo-Dusk Drive
For Scout Funds
Slated for FRIDAY

Announcement was made to-
day by Ken Fox, finance chair
man, that the annual drive for
funds for Boy Scouts and Cub
Scouts for this council will be
conducted on Friday, Dec. 1.
The campaign will be a dawn
to-duSk affair, starting with
an Early Bird breakfast at the
grade school gym for all work.
erS.
Scouting is 40 years old, Fox
pointed out. 1t has been de-
veloped by top youth and edu-
caticnal leaders of our nation
over the entire span of years.
It is a tried and true program.
It is built as close to the needs
and desires of our boys as it is
humanity possible to make it.
GAS new improvements are
found in the program we can
depend upon their being put
into practice" the chairman
said. Scouting is not a flash
in the pam movement. It is
seasoned with years of expert
ence. Many people have suggest
ed alternate plans for the rails
ing of money for scouting pur-
poses. These same top-notch
national leaders have studied
all the plans for raising money
and found that for the benefits
of both the boys and the COM
munity, the present plan is the
one which will stand the test
for many years.
Your leaders who actually
meet and work with the boys
are volunteers. They give hun
dreds of hours each year to the
boys. Yet their responsibility
towards these boys is much
greater than any other person
in the community. So in what
better way can the average per-
son help bear his share of the
load than to help these leaders
through a contribution to the
scouting program" the chair
man said.
Fox pointed out that scouting
is not just a recreational ia
cility, but Is a carefully pre-
pared training for a boy in
character and citizenship. Peo-
pie are not just buying a good
time for the boys. They are in
vesting in the future of America.
Scouting in Hardin at the
present time consists of three
troops and one Cub pack. Lead
ers of each troop are as fol-

Postmaster Gives
Suggestions
For Xmas Mailing

The Post Office department
is again asking the cooperation
of the public in preparing
Christmas mail, according to
Howard Wagner, Hardin post
master.
Wagner listed the following
suggestions and regulations to
be kept in mind to facilitate
speedy delivery of Christmas
mail:
Save time by purchasing a
supply of stamps ahead of the
Christmas rush.
Unsealed greeting cards may
be sent for &c postage provided
no message is enclosed and they
are not less than 2 3/4 x 4
inches or more than 9 x II
inches in size. Facing cards and
letters all one way and tying
with string Or rubber will ia
cilitate their handling at the
post office.
Parcels sent by air or as par
eel post are limited to 10 pounds
in weight and 100 inches length
and girth combined. All parcel
post should be securely packed
in durable containers to pre-
vent damage in transit.
Christmas seals may be placed
on parcels during the month of
December but it is preferred
they be placed on other than
the address side.
To encourage early mailing of
Christmas parcels Senders are
permitted to mark parcels
'fPlease Do Not Open Until
Christmas" but do not enclose
communications of any kind in
parcels as this will subject the
entire parcel to the letter rate.
Communications should be
placed in an envelope and at
tached to the outside of the
parcel.
