fenced to two years in the state
penitentiary by Judge Ben Har-
wood in district court last
Thursday, after changing

miller advised the court had
been sold by Eychaner to Bill
ings and Sheridan markets and
to private individuals. It was
shown at the hearing that
Eychaner reimbursed Carney
for the 27 head of unbranded

court that officers had traced
calves, to markets and Carney
had identified several of those
sold as being from his herd.
Two calves, were taken from
purchasers and kept by officers
for the purpose of prosecuting
the defendant.
Kronnliller further advised
the court that Eychaner left
Big Horn county at the time or
shortly after the complaint was
i; filed in justice court charging
grand larceny, and that a fug-
tive from justice warrant had
been obtained through the Fed

.Rpping
of the Rivers

Don't miss the boat-register
and vote!
That's just one of the many
catchy phrases being coined
and publicized recently by Or
ganizationS, business firms, pol
iticianS and other individuals
in what appears to be a record
breaking effort over the nation
to urge citizens to vote at the
coming election.
We've heard members of both
political parties claim that the
bigger the vote the more
chance their party has of vic
tory. We don't know which
party stands to gain by a big
vote but we're convinced it's the
best thing for the country as a
whole.
Judging from the increased
number of registered voters at
the July primary in Big Horn
county, it seems that the "get
out the vote" campaign is sue
ceeding locally, and indications
now are, according to the coun-
ty clerk and recorder, that reg
istration for the general cleo
ton will set an all-time record
here. It is expected that before
registration closes on Septem-
ber 10, at least 1000 names will
be on the registered voters lists
in Big Horn county.
In comparison to the popula-
tion of the county, that isn't
too good a showing. We join
with all other sources in urg-
ing every eligible person to
make sure that his name is
among those on the registered
voters list - and do it within
the next week. IF your name is
not on the registered list, you
cannot vote.
Just in case there may be
those who do not know what
the law is in regard to regis
tration and only think they are
eligible to vote, remeber this:
If you did not vote at the last
general election, and have not
re-registered you can not vote
unless you register before Sep
tember 19.
"The government should not
always be controlled by one pol
itical party. Frequent change
of administration is as neceS-
Sary as constant recurrence to
the popular will.
otherwise, abuses grow, and
the government, instead of be-
ing carried on for the general
welfare becomes an inStru-
mentality for imposing heavy
burdens on the many who are
governed, for the benefit of the
few who govern. Public serv-
ants thus become arbitrary
rulers"
The above sounds like a quo
tation from a Republican pol
itician, but it isn't. 1t is taken
from the 1884 Democratic party
platform, written at a time
when the Republicans had been
in power % years: ,.. .>~.

Bulldogs Prepare
For Opener
Against Worden

Hardin's football squad has
had plenty of scrimmages the
past week and plenty more are
on the calendar for the fieXt
few days in order to prepare
for the seasons opener at Wor-
den Fiday, Sept. 10, according
to Luke Dyche, Bulldogs coach.
Competition is keen and the
boys have the right spirit. I
think we should have a good
season." Dyche said.
Our blocking and tackling
needs much improvement, and
if we can improve that, with
a few breaks we'll be tough for
them ALL" the coach added.
Dyche said he believes Wor-
den and Central should be the
teams to beat, 'fbut Columbus
and Roundup are both up there
with plenty of veterans. Big
Timber and Red Lodge are un-
known quantities. The whole
division should be tougher than
in previous years. Well have
to play each game as it comes
and point to none of them"
Worden, consistently a top
contender, has a veteran team.
led by Bob Sherman, one of
the conferences best backfield
men last year. A large turnout,
with plenty of size, is reported
from the Satans' camp, and
will make the Bulldogs opener
a tough one.
However, the Bulldogs are not
without veterans, having at
least one experienced player at
position in the line and back
field. The coach'S big problem
at present is requirements. The
squad is composed of mostly
seniors and freshmen, with a
few from both the sophomore
and junior classes.
, The backfield will be compos-
ed of veterans, and received a
lift when Bob Kukes returned
to the fold after a years alb
sence from football. He will hold
down the left halfback spot
and get assistance from Gary
Kaiser and Bob Muhlbeier,
neither of whom have any pre-
vious football experience.
At fullback will be the veter-
an, Bob Haug, who has lettered
for three years. The right half
back position is filled capably
by Verle Devore, who will be
playing his third year at that
position. Joe Zeir, a sophomore
letterman, is also working well
at that position.
Jack Butorac and Roland
Croghan are alternating calling
the signals, along with Jack
Helmann, a freshman. Other
backfield men include Adam
Singer. a 180-lb. freshman, Har-
vey Zimmerman. Larry Haug,
Ron Davis and Bobby Harlin.
The starting line should av-
erage around ITS pounds, head
ed by 250-lb. Gary Leavitt,
playing his fourth year as tack
le. Alan Collier and Lee Wilson,
both lettermen, will be at ends,
Giles Zoller at tackle Ernest
Weinberg and Gene Lenhard at
guards, and Merle Gustafson at
center.
Jimmy Besel is looking we'll
at a guard spot, although he
has had no previous experience,
as is George Old Elk. Les Cur
rv, a veteran, is doing well in
the line. Bob Warren is bid
ding for a first team spot at
end, as is Merrill Evenson. Both
bows have had one season of
experience. McDougall, a trans
fer from Baker, is expected, to
bolster the center of the line.
Others showing nronniSe are
Kenneth Kurtz. Willis Medicine
Horse. Bob Wilson, Kenneth
Lincoln, David Sloan and John
