Ripping
of the Rivers


An incredible hunting story
was told US this week. In fact
it is nearly too incredible to be
true, but we are not doubling
the yeracity of the account -
especially since we are in no
position to diScredit it.
Our informant described how
a 14-year-old hunter got his
antelope without use of a gun,
by bulldogging the critter and
Sitting its throat.
Tommy Weinberg, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Jos. j. Weinberg,
farmers 10 miles north of Har-
din, accompanied his cousins,
Don and Ernest Weinberg, Jr.,
OF Hardin on a hunting trip
to the BroaduS area the second
day of the regular season.
The trio, each armed with a
rifle, came upon a herd and
each took a shot. Tommy and
Don recorded clean misses,
while Ernest, Jr., partially dis
abled one, which he trailed and
bagged later.
Three of the antelope, includ-
ing a yearling buck, when the
shooting started had bolted in
a different direction than the
rest of the herd, then reversed
directions to join the others
and ran in the general direc-
ton of the hunters.
Young Tommy, in the excite
ment, neglected to reload his
rifle. With his mind firmly set
on taking home an antelope he
dropped his gun and ran for
the three antelope. The young
buck, no doubt excited also, ran
into a fence post and knocked
himself to the ground. Before
the animal could regain his
footing, Tommy was atop with
a bulldogger's grasp, drew his
hunting knife from its sheath
and cut the bucks throat.
incidentally, Don Weinberg
also bagged his buck before the
day was over - using the con-
ventional means Of a rifle,
however.

In a whistle-stop smear CAM
paign talk President Truman
accused General Eisenhower of
making a political football" of
the issue of corruption in the
federal government.
In this reporters estimation,
that issue has needed some
kicking around for a long time.
The annual membership cam
paign of the Big Horn County
Community Concert association
is in progress this week. In fact
there are but two days remain
ing for local residents to obtain
membership for the coming
season. After Saturday, Oct. 4,
those who do not hold member
ship cards will not be eligible
at any price to attend the per-
formaneeS which will be Sched-
uled. l..
We can sympathize with
those who Ravens joined the
association on the ground that
they don't care for that type"
of music. This reporter flunked
the music appreciation" sub
ject in high school, and we
never thought we'd miss much
if we never saw or heard q
Lily Pons or Jose Iturbi per-
Torrance. In fact, the year the
local concert association organ
lied they had to give us a tick
ct to get us to attend - and
then we were reluctant to take
advantage of the opportunity
to attend the first of the ser
les here.
But strangely enough, we en-
joyed it. And we've enjoyed all
of them we've been able to at
tend since. We have managed
somehow to scrape up the price
of a membership each year
since the first.
Our musical education still is
decidedly lacking and some of
the time we don't know what
the heck they are playing, but
we can truthfully say that We
enjoy 80 per cent of it and
believe any average person
would.
we believe the Community
Concert association is a credit
to the Big Horn county. In no
other way we know of can the
top performers in the music
world be made available to res
idence of the area.

According to the Democratic
national committees propa-
ganda organ, 1.-THE Democrat"
party officials seem anxious
because their campaign fund
has been discussed to some
thing less than 100000.
They appear to be more. con-
cerned about their campaign
fund than they ever have about
the national debt or the tax
payers money.
