Funeral Held
For Mrs. VIM.
Monroe Tues.

Funeral services, with the Rev.
Fr. A. D. NJ. Gillen officiating,
were conducted Tuesday at 2
pm. in the Church of the Little
Flower in Browning for Mrs.
william Monroe, a member of a
pioneer reservation family, who
passed away June O in Seattle,
Wash. Burial was in the Magee
cemetery near East Glacier.
Mrs. Monroe's husband was
the son of Hugh Monroe, one of
the earliest settlers in this terri
tory. The life of Hugh Monroe
was the subject of one of the
most widely read stories of the
late James Willard Shultz, we'll
known Indian historian, in his
novel, Rising Wolf, the White
Blackfoot"
Mrs. Monroe was born Virginia
Packet near Montreal, Canada,
in 1870. Married at the age of
IA when early marriages were
the custom, she came to this
area with her husband and set
tied on the old Midvale Town
site near Lower Two Medicine
Lake in 1884. Later the family
moved to East Glacier where
they resided until they took up
residence in Seattle, Washing
ton, where the deceased lived
until the time of her death. Mrs.
MonrOe's husband died in 1925.
Mrs. Monroe was we'll known
and respected by old reservation
families and her many acts of
mercy and charity in caring for
the sick and needy earned her
their enduring gratitude.
Mrs. Monroe's Indian name
was Napi-aki, white Woman.)
The deceased is survived by
three daughters, Mrs. Marion
Amble, Mrs. Cecile Barnhill,
both of Seattle; Mrs. Joseph Nc
Kay of Browning; and five sons,
Donald, Montcalm, Louis, John
and Wallace. Besides these men,
bers of her immediate family,
she is survived by many nieces
and nephews, 81 grandchildren
and "A great-grandchildren.

Seattle Man Gets Lost But
Finally Finds Himself

reservation police officers
were summoned late Monday to
hunt for Walter Struckman of
Seattle, who for a time had got
ten lost in the timbers in the
vicinity of Kiowa camp.
With Bob Gillian of Browning.
who is his brother-in-law, he lost
his directions while the two
were out on short hunting trip.
Separating when they entered
the dense growth of trees, the
two lost touch of each other.
Gillian, who knows the area
we'll, gave the alarm when he
got back to Highway 80, realiz-
ing that Struckman possibly risk
ed his life.
Rankin Brown, Indian Service
investigator, had charge of a
group that combed the area un-
til early Tuesday morning. At
about 3 Struckman showed up
on the highway, happy that he
had not been kidnapped by bears,
joyful that he had faithfully fol.
lowed his nose.

Mexican Loses
Leg in Falling
Beneath Train

Suffering amputation of the
left leg midway of the knee and
hip last Sunday forenoon, Jess
Lopez, Mexican railroad work
er, is at the Blackfeet hospital
here, his condition having grad
ually improved.
A hospital attendant at 6 last
night said that members of the
medical staff were optimistic of
his recovery.
Since there were no witnesses
to the accident, only a presump-
ton of how it occurred can be
a basis of a statement. Since Lo-
PEE for days since it occurred
has not been in a condition to
explain, it can only be theorized
that he fell from a westbound
freight as it slowed down while
approaching the Great Northern
Ry. underpasS east of Browning.
He had been employed with a
railroad extra gang stationed at
Lothair, station east of Shell
by, according to Investigators. II
might be believed that he was
coming to Browning for the July
3 and 4 Blackfeet Roundup,
since he was carrying an over
night case.
The body was observed lying
at the edge of one of the rails
by a freight crew, which report
ed the accident to local depot
authorities. They Immediately re-
ported it to County Coroner
Beck and other local county au-
thorities, including Deputy Sher-
iff Ed Colbert. They rushed to
the scene. That was at 1880 pm.
Coroner Beck said that the
amputated leg was at the out
side edge of one of the rails
and the body at the edge of the
other. He said that under the
circumstances it was impossible
to reconstruct the accidents &C.
currance.
Suffering shock, yet without
serious hemorrhage, Lopez was
taken to the local hospital.
1t is understood that he made
occasional visits to Browning for
friendly association with local
railroad workers. Other than
that, there have been no con-
facts with others to enable any
thing more intimate about him.

County Budget
Study Made by
County Dads

Members of the board of coun-
ty commissioners have been in
session this week taking up pre-
liminary work to the fiscal coun-
ty and school district budgets
for the next fiscal year.
In the meantime until the reg
ular August meeting when the
budgets will be approved, indi-
viduals will be availed opportun-
ity to make protests, under the
statutory provision.
Today members of the board
Chairman Harold Hanneman
and Commissioner Woodland -
are out on an inspection tour
of county roads. OF utmost i'm
portance at the present time to
the commissioners is the four
mile strip from the Canadian
border southwark This is a por-
ton of the so-called North Road
extending to Browning
Inspecting the four mile
stretch, the commissioners today
are determining what work must
be done before graveling is done.
County right-ofway for the
stretch was acquired last year
through the action of former
Blackfeet Agency Supt. Guy Rob-
ertson.
Crawling, it was understood,
should be under way during the
next few weeks. A stretch from
Browning to the Cut Bank
Boarding school is to be oiled by
the Indian roads department this
summer, a step towards having
it of proper specifications for &C
ceptance by Glacier County,
which, under a written agree
ment with the Bureau of Indian
Affairs, will take over the pro-
ject on a permanency basis. In
other words, its upkeep will be
the responsibility of the county
1t is the hope that eventually
the North Road will be a seq
ment of the State and Federal
Highway system when the coun-
tvs responsibility will cease. In
the meantime it will be serving
sO-called 'bread-and-butter"
road throughout the year, Great

BUdweiser Famous Horses
To Be Exhibited JuIy IA

The famous horses of the Bud
weiser Brewing Co., of St. Louis,
will be on parade in Browning
some time Thursday, July IA, &C.
cording to an announcement
made this week by Stan Wat
kins, Shelby distributor for the
beer in this area.
Mr.. Watkins expected to send
up an advertisement and formal
announcement for the Reporter,
but it did not arrive in time to
beat the deadline.
This famous and fine team of
horses has paraded in some of
the largest cities of the U. S.,
and on one occasion was a chief
attraction at the coronation of
Queen Elizabeth, in London.
They will be drawing a 5000
pound wagon, and will parade
through the main streets of
town. They will also be on dis
play for some time after the
parade, but details are not
available.
The horses. along with a full
crew of trainers and handlers
will arrive here sometime Thurs
day morning They travel by five
Semi-trailers, and are also &C.
companied by several Sicilian
donkeys as mascots.
The show will be staged in
Cut Bank the day previously,
and will arrive in Browning the
next day.
So be on the lookout for this
fascinating free exhibition of
what is probably the finest dis
play of heavy ClydesdaIe horses
in the world.

rem of the best of horsemanship
talent was the dominant feat
ure of the July parade on Main
Street. Though it might have
been of mediocre calibre to a
good many local people, who live
in a horse country IL months of
the year, it was thrilling to out
siders who had come to Brown
ing to glorify in the spectacle of
an Indian on horseback.
The many foreign cars. parked
along the streets for the occa-
sion was mute evidence of such
an emotion.
Another thrill was in the gor-
geously attired color bearers,
Blackfeet fullbloods. 1t was a
picturesque sight, befitting pat
riotic pageantry anywhere in the
nation.
The TOPS Club float, acclaim
ing the noble aspirations of
Browning fat women - Take
Off Pounds Sensibly - was sort
of breath-taking.
Public Health Nurse Lillian
Cook presented a dramatic touch
to it in a characteristic pose of
a human too fat to get on her
feet"

very imposing about all of the
floats characters. Each of them
was living, breathing document
Of the fact that in fat there is
heap of joviality, though it is
burdensome to carry about.
Blackfeet Reservation Post, of
the American Legion, appeared
with very imposing float,
patriotic and dignified entry.
There were juvenile bicycle
riders galore, every cyclist at his
or her handsomest.
Because musicions were not
available for the occasion, there
was no melody. This was no
ones fault - those who can
blow a horn wanted to see the
parade rather than be in it.
But anyway, it was good
parade, despite disputants. Plan
ming the parade was Mrs. Cleo
Davis, members of the Davis
family, which promoted the To-
cal Roundup. Judges were chos-

prevailed during most of the
two days, the Blackfeet Round.
I'D programs July 3 and A were
presented according to schedule,
a happy and appreciative crowd
men. women and children -
witnessing all that could be de.
sired in the way of fast-moving
performance of rodeo.
Having but two weeks pre-
paration for the project, the pro-
motors, o. X. Davis and associ-
ates, gave a worthy show, in
keeping with a reputation they
gained two years ago when they
gave a show under similar cir
/ cumstances.
This year, as of two years
ago, they were faced by neces-
sity of many days of repairing
and, in some instances, of COM
plete rebuilding of the rodeo
plant.
In both instances they were
pressed for time, yet when the
scheduled dates arrived, they
were in readiness to entertain.
This weeks project, in the
light of parked cars, grandstand
occupancy and the large crowds
that trimmed the fences, drew at
tendance during the two days
that matched those of the top
rodeo years of the past. 1t was
spectacle of appreciative
crowds, the only unpleasantry
being the threat of Old Man
Pluvius, who seemed to have a
morbid delight in provoking peo-
pie with a hint of rainstorm.
Despite rodeo's being the most
hazardous of human activity,
aside from war, there were no
serious accidents. Contestants,
for the most part, made good
appearances. AS with the FORUM
es of love and war, some cow
boys did comparatively well,
while others suffered their off

Stock was of the best. For sad
die bronze and bareback riding
Davis and associates provided
horses gifted with all the tricks
of bucking.
For calf roping, light fleet
footed animals suited to the
needs of the contest, had been
provided.
For decorating, there's no gain
saying, the competing animals
were of the best specifications.
