Johns, operator of he local Maytag shop, has been released from the Barrett hos- filal, officials said Monday. Johns mderwent an appendectomy three weeks ago. Pâul Temple, John Mountjoy Hold Executive Positions In Association Barney Larsen, Anaconda, sher iff of Deer Lodge county, was elected president of the Montana Sheriffs’ and Peace Officers’ asso ciation at the concluding business session held here Saturday after noon. He succeeds Lovitt I. IFestlake 0f Bozeman. Butte was selected as conven tion site of the officers in 1942, with the dates to be determined by the board of directors. Other newly elected officers in clude Taylor Darroch, Livings ton, first vice-president; C. B. Al- sup, Shelby, second vice-presi dent; Paul Temple, Dillon, third vice-presidefit, and John D. Gil- lan, Helena,'' secretary-treasurer. Dan Stephenson of Billings was named to the board of directors for a five-year term to succeed Sheriff Oscar Marty of Fort Ben ton. Hold-over members of the board are John Mountjoy, Dillon; Lou Boedecker, Helena; Phil Green an, Great Falls, and Guy Palagi, Great Falls. Joseph G. White, local automo bile distributor, was introduced as a new member of the Dillon Ro tary club last night in their weekly meeting. T. W. Sargent acted as chairman. Robert Good made the address of the occasion, speaking upon the subject of “Insurance.” He sketched the development of the beginning in the insurance of ships and cargoes. Lloyd’s of London is a development from early marine insurance, he said. The first fire protection groups, organized as the fire-fighters, were the employees of the early fire insurance interests, added Mr. Good. ‘The common notion that an insurance company pays the en tire cost of insured property des troyed by fire is erroneous,” Good said. “Unless business and wages are also insured, every business loss by fire causes many persons other than the owner great loss through interruption of work and suspension of business during re building.” Mr. Good explained several varieties of insurance. He stated in closing that all legitimate in surance agents are at all times ready to explain and advise in the field of insurance protection. Due to the abnormal rainfall during August and the low fire hazard rating in the Beaverhead national forest, the “shovel, axe and bucket per car or pack train” restriction will ,be lifted for both the Beaverhead and Deer Lodge forests, announced W. B. Willey, forest supervisor. This restric tion has been in effect only for one month since the fire danger was not acute this summer. Beaverhead’s fire record is one of the best in years, only five flags being pinned on the map at headquarters. The latest confla gration to be reported occurred this week near Wade lake in the Madison district. It was a class A lightning-set fire. To date the total number of fires reported at the Dillon office is five. Last year at this time nearly 60 fires had been suppress ed in the local forest. Willey warned that persons traversing the forests should con tinue to take care. Mountain grasses are mature and dry and if a few dry weeks are experi enced, serious fires would result, he said. Smokers and campers should be extremely careful, he added. Sheriff Paul Temple, recent ly elected to the third vice presidency of the Montana Sheriffs’ and Peace Officers’ association, had full charge of the sheriffs’ convention here last week. Temple, along with his help ers, John Troupe and Boyd Quick, initiated the deerskin pokes and brass “nuggets,” sou venirs of the conclave. SHERIFFS MEET DRAWS HUNDREDS TO DILLON LIMA HOST TO THIRD ANNUAL TRAPSHOOT The third annual merchandise shoot will again be staged in Lima Sept. 14, according to Ted Renfro, nationally known shooting artist and Lima rancher. Shooting starts at 9 o’clock at 150 targets. The first 100 targets will be at a distance of 16 yards and a self-handicap will be in force on the last fifty. The added total score will count toward a prize for every shooter. A spe cial prize will be in store for the three high scores on a total of 150. Entrance fee will be $10.50, in cluding shells and targets. It is not compulsory to shoot the en tire program, Renfro said, as shooters will be charged for what ever they want to shoot. Options will be offered to those who want them. All shooting will take place at the Lima Gun club range. Bannack Vigilante Celebration Is Highlight of Peace Officers’ Convention; Whole Affair Huge Success, Say Officials. Sheriffs and peace officers from many parts of Montana and other outside points in the Northwest gathered here Thursday morning for the fifth annual Sheriffs’ and Peace Officers’ convention. Registration was conducted by John D. Gillan, secretary-treasurer of the association, at the Andrus hotel headquarters. Gillan reported that nearly 100 officers had registered for the affair. Initial business sessions were conducted Thursday after noon at the Elks’ hall at which time Mayor Bert Megquire welcomed the law enforcers and presented the key to the ------------------------------------city to L. I. Westlake, presi dent of the group. The key, a handsomely carved wooden affair, was about four feet long and officers immediately ruled that Mr. Westlake should carry it wherever he might go during the meet. The business meeting was brief in order that marksmen of the association could participate ir the first half of the annual pistol shoot held at the Dillon Gun club “range. Bannack Draws Many Dillon closed up tight as a drum Friday from 10;00 a. m. to 3:00 p. m. and journeyed to Bannack where townspeople joined with the sheriffs and peace officers to enjoy the big Bannack Vigilante celebration that featured the hanging of Henry Plummer and his gang and other episodes in the exacting history of this fam ous ghost town. Echoes of those drama-packed days of 1862-63 could be heard up and down the dusty streets of (Continued on pago 8) SEVEN MEN TO FILL MONTHLY DRAFT QUOTA Two Transfers Will Be Inducted With Local Draftees on 30th.

School Enrollment Reaches 250 Mark Enrollment at the Beaverhead county high school reached the 250 mark this noon, today, with the first day of school in full sessiorf. The total is nearly fifty under the mark set at this time last year. The decrease is due to the rainy fall and the subsequent loss of time in haying and har vesting, it was said. Eleven Men Must Report Says Board The following named registrants of local board No. 1, Beaverhead county, are delinquent, according to officials of the selective service board. They are E. F.

Their failure to report on or before Sept. 9, 1941, to the local board is an offense punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, offi cials said. ' E. M. Birely, state director of Selective Service, today warned all Montana registrants that Se lective Service regulations make it mandatory for every registrant to have his registration certificate in his possession at all times and to display it upon request 'of proper authorities. Failure of a registrant to have his card in his personal possession, or to exhibit it upon request of authorized persons, constitutes a violation of the regulations and, in addition, shall be construed as prima facie evidence of his failure to register, Birely said.

Peterson’s Ranchers were nosed out by Anaconda’s Carmels 4 to 5 in the feature attraction of the softball jamboree presented by the Dillon Kiwanians Thursday night at the county fairgrounds. The game, a beautiful exhibi tion of softball, was thrill-packed from start to finish. The final inning saw the Carmels take ad vantage of four Rancher errors, slapped out a hit and counted four runs to pour cold water on the game. Up to that point it was a two to one affair with Dil lon in the lead. Ranchers Start Rally Jack Scully started a Rancher rally in the seventh inning, swat ting a home-run drive. His team mates filled the bases and Pat Connors, Smelterman h u r 1 e r, walked in a run and fanned Chumrau for the third out, end ing the spurt.
