when he was very young man,
engaging in hunting, guiding and
exploring this then wilderness
area. He was one of the best
known of the old-time residents
of this part of the state, as he
had taken an active part in the
settlement and development of
the western section of what is
now Glacier county. Many of his
activities centered in and near
the section now embraced in Gla-
cier Park, and for many years
had been an honored and repect-
ed citizen of East Glacier.
He is survived by two daugh-
tiers, Mrs. Lorena Meade of Cut

CREDIT SPEAKER
LOCAL VISITOR

An interesting and informative
meeting was held in Browning
Monday afternoon, in the Agen-
cy barracks building, under the
sponsorship of the Browning
Home Demonstration clubs, at
which Eugene Robinson, secre-
tary of the Conrad Production
Credit association was the chief
speaker.
Mr.. Robinson is secretary-man-
ager of the C.P.A. for Pondera,
Glacier, Toole and Liberty coun-
ties. The association is a govern
ment sponsored cooperative agen-
cy, set up to provide short term
credits to farm and livestock op-
orators in the area included in
this district. A board of direc-
tors is chosen to represent each
county, and the loan program
passes through this board, much
the same as similar credit appli-
cations are handled through reg
ular banking channels. Percy De-
Wolfe, of Browning and Babb,
one of the large livestock oper-
ators of this area, is Glacier
county representative on the
board. Lloyd Campbell, of Pom
dera county, is chairman of the
board, and other members in
clude N. A. Peterson, of Pom
dera, and Sen. David F. James,
of Liberty county.
In his address before the Home
Demonstration clubs here Mon
day afternoon, Mr.. Robinson talk
ed on the subject of Sound
Credit Practices" The address in
full will be published in sub
sequent issue of this newspaper.
The meeting was largely at
tended, and much valuable infor-
nation was made available to all
members on the many beneficial
provisions of the C.P.A. credit
system set up for the benefit of
farmers and stockmen.
The Conrad association has
been in operation for a number
of years, and while originally fl
nanced with government funds,
the Indebtedness to the govern
ment for the original advances
have been liquidated, and the as
ISOLATION last year bought the for
mer First National Bank building
in Conrad, which provides ample
room and facilities for the trans
action of the large volume of
business handled annually, and
also has valuable rental spaces
as a source of revenue.

TWO HELD FOR
STORE BURGLARY

Allegedly attempting to burg
larize the Mart Wolff Meat Mar
ket in Browning early Tuesday
morning, Noble LaPlante, 30, and
Willie White, %, were taken be-
fore U. S. Commissioner william
Bercovich the following morning
at 10, where the two defendants
were bound over to the federal
district court, their bail being set
at $500 each.
The case was Investigated by
FBI Robert Wickweir of the
Great Falls office, the defendants
being taken to Cut Bank and
lodged in the county Jail by him.
From there they were later TAX
en- to Great Falls and lodged in
the Cascade county Jail to await
action of the federal court.
According to Browning night
officer ]. E. Collier, who made
the arrest, both were apprehend-
ed by him in the meat cooler of
the Wolff Market as they sought
to hide from him.
Officer Collier said that as he
sat in the police patrol truck,
which was parked on a side street
overlooking the Wolff Market he
became suspicious of the two per-
sons lettering near the front door
of the place. Making for the
scene afoot, he said, by the time
he got there the two had entered
the building, the door having
been pried open by a pick. Dis
covering the door open, he also
entered, Immediately discovering
their hiding place, the door of the
meat cooler having been only par
TALLY closed.
Taking them into custody, he
said, their statement to him was:
1--WE weren't doing nothing" He
locked them in the patrol and
then phoned Police Chief Dewey
Brey, who took charge of the
pair
Both defendants being wards
of the government, the case is
under federal jurisdiction, pre-
vious similar cases in Montana
during the last several years hav-
ing established the states lack
of jurisdiction. A case in point
is that of an Indian convicted of
a burglary in Poison on the Flat
head reservation several years
ago and tried in state court.
The clients attorney later appeal
ed the case to the state supreme
court, which denied the lower
court its right to try the Indian,
since he was ward of the gov
eminent.

FLATHEAD INDIANS ARE OPPOSED
TO GOVERNMENTS new POLICY

credit of the tribe for dispose.
ton.
Cost of sales and all outstand-
ing Indebtedness Including debts
for irrigation, electrification and
personal debts shall be paid out
of tribal funds Miss Bohn ex-
planned.
The Inter-Tribal Council, re-
presenting all groups of Montana
Indians, has unanimously oppos-
ed the terms of the bill, the
chairman reminded the Council.
They fear that the burden will
be taken from the U. S. govern
ment only to become the respon-
sibility of local and state govern
ments," she stressed, explaining
that without income in many in
stances the Indians would become
dependent on welfare.
They also feel that too much
discretion is given the Secretary
of the Interior, and that the In
dams themselves do not have a
large enough part in the DISPOSE
ton of their own tribal proper
IT," Miss Bohn continued.
Nearly $50 professional persons
attending the annual meeting of
the Montana Conference on So
cial Welfare here last month vot-
ed mo" to the withdrawal OF the
trusteeship, she said.
1.-The panel has concluded that
no one is ready for such a pro-
gram at present and that the
people of Montana should be Civ
en- ample opportunity to study
every phase of the movement be-
fore any Legislation is enacted,
Miss Bohn said.
Among those attending the
Community Council session was
DR.. Harold Tascher, director OF
the curricula of social welfare at
Montana State University, who at
tended a discussion of the pro-
posed legislation at the Univers-
ity of Minnesota, where opposl'
ton was voiced by the five Mon,
tana representatives.

Claim Considered
FIREMEN PLAN
ANNUAL DANCE

At a regular meeting of the
Browning Volunteer Fire Depart
ment, held at the Steak House
on Monday evening, plans for
holding the annual Firemen's ball
were discussed, and other routine
business considered.
Date for the annual dance was
set for January 23rd, and COM
mittees appointed to make final
arrangements. The firemen's ball
is one of the outstanding social
events of the year, and large
attendance is anticipated.
The matter of installing a sys-
TEN of numbering the residences
and business places was also dis
cussed, and it is understood the
city council will be asked to con-
slider the plan at an early meet
ing. Firemen state that when an
alarm is turned in considerable
delay is sometimes experienced
for the reason the exact location
of the fire is not always definite.
With uniform system of num-
bering the streets and buildings,
this difficulty would be elimin-
ated, and the numbering plan
would also be of much general
benefit to the town.
Browning is fortunate in hav-
ing an active and efficient fire
department, well equipped with
modern fire-fighting apparatus.
There are % active members of
the department. Walter Hanson
is chief of the department, and
VIM. McFadyean is assistant chief,
with Kay Hoyt as secretary.

BLACkFEET TRIBESkhEN PARTICIPATE
IN CEREMONIES FOR NOTED VISITOR

GREAT FALLS - In Paris
they'll never recognize Chief
Eagle if he is wearing his Black
feet headdress.
Chief Eagle is in reality Capt.
Francois-Julien Brun, conductor
of the famed Guard Republican
Band of Paris, which presented
an October concert in Great
Falls.
Extensive plans had been made
for ceremonies Oct. II during the
concert intermission to adopt
Brun into the tribe. Everyone was
there but the Indians.
Enroute to Great Falls from
Browning with moccasins for
Brun and a beaded bag for his
wife, the Blackfeet had car trou

the next morning before they ar

Brun got his first look at an
Indian, a deep desire expressed

only minutes before he was due
to leave Great Falls.
The adoption ceremony was
held in haste without benefit of
the concert audience and with on
ly a few members of the band
in attendance. However, those
present included another honor
airy Blackfeet chief, Chief Eagle
Flag, who is known around Great
Falls as l.. w. Upshaw, and the
Blackfeet Buffalo Hide, Weasel
Feather and Chief Don't Come
Out.
Chief Eagle with his rs bands
men left the Electric City with
out the traditional headdress and
adoption certificate for the new
tribal member. These since have
been frequent queries by letter,
wire and phone from Brun, who
