Page 28 . THE SCOTTY,GLASGOW,MONTANA ' miles west of a small place called Bisbee. Bill Blackard used to own a cave about a mile from where l herded cattle that summer, One night when a storm came up suddenly, l drove my cattle behind a sheltered cliff about 50 rods from Blackard's cave. Blackard was talking loud enough so that l could hear something of what he was saying. As close as l could put the words together that l heard, he and 'his henchmen were threatening a man with death if he didn't sign all his property over to them. When the man refused, they left one of the men on guard and headed in the direction of Bisbee. l cautiously stole up to the house and looked in the window. l shall never forget the agony on that face, with its eyebrows in the shape of a steer head. l have not seen the man since, but Blackard suspects that l may have seen him that night and has been watching me very closely all these years. My hunch is that he is in Komatke because Blackard is the head of that town and has caused all honest people to leave. Thanks, now l am sure that l am going to go to Ko- matkef Tommy told Andy his story and Andy volun- teered to help him because he knew the town pretty well. The boys decided to pitch camp for the night and enter Komatke early in the morning when the town was just waking, because that was the best time for scouting around to find out things. They entered the town early in the morning and went to the town hotel. What they saw was hard to believe. Tommy's father 'was tied to chair and Bill.B1ackard was asking him if he knew anyone that fitted Tommy's de- scription. The boys decided that this was their chance. They walked calmly in and asked what difference it made to him now, because he was going to be put some place where it couldn't make any difference to him. Tommy untied his dad while Andy kept Blackard covered, then he tied Blackard up. No time was wasted in getting mov- ing because the town was waking. They took Bill Black- ard with them because he was apt to prove helpful in the work of the newly incorporated organization, The Arizona Police, who selected the wiping out of the Blackard gang as their first task.

FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS The flood control dike along the south side of the city was both raised and widened this summer, to assure more protection. The old Great Northern reservoir embank- ments were removed, improving that section. There were also some improvements made in the water system and in some of our streets and alleys, and more street work is to be done. They have also arranged so property owners may put in sidewalks and curbs by using WPA work at a very low cost. A great many are expected to take advantage of this. rr's Q1 HALVERSON'S EE ll - for - g CLOTHING and si-lots 55 x - in - ii Q Glasgow if .... .... l ll Q l i Q Prescriptions I' Are Accurately Filled by :I Registered Pharmacists x At Moda-are Priees E Day or Night EE 1: Phone Us We Deliver HALL DRUG CO. .. 11 Prescription Specialists E jj Wheeler Glasgow

Another two hours' ride brought him within sight of Tombstone, a town known for its unlawfulness and freak crimes. The residents of Tombstone were none too friendly to strangers, but Tommy decided it would be just as well to risk sleeping in the Tombstone Hotel as under the stars. After taking his few possessions to his hotel room and seeing to it that his horse was cared for, young james went down to the restaurant and barroom below the hotel to get something to eat and find some- one with whom he might discuss the recent happeniings in that part of the state. After he had finished his hearty supper, 'he went to the bar to get a drink, hoping to learn something from the other men gathered about drinking. One of the men came over and slapped Tommy on the shoulder. Hello, stranger, he said, do you plan to open up a clothing store here or go farming? This re- mark brought a volley of laughter from the other ruffians. Tommy thought it best not to tell too much or let his temper get the best of him and answered, l'm sorry, boys, but I won't have time to open a shop for one eve- ning, but I might sell you some honey after I get those bees that I'm going after.' At this turn in the conversation the men all became very quiet. Where ya from? asked a man by the name of Bill Blackard, who seemed to be concerned about Tommy's staying only one day and who appeared to have a great deal of influence with the other men. My dad came from New York, my mother from Cin- cinnati, but the wide open spaces have been my home for the last three years, was Tommy's prompt reply. What's your handle? My mother used to call me Tommy, but since she died most everybody calls me just the 'Roaming Kid'. The other men were quite tight-lipped, too, so Tommy excused himself and retired. He didn't sleep much that night, but was constantly on his guard. He could hear voices in the barroom all night but nothing happened. Tommy arose early the next morning and after purchas- ing a few supplies started on his journey to Komatke. Tommy was not aware of the rider who had been fol- lowing him ever since he had left Tombstone until he was ready to ford the Gila River and enter Komatke. Hello, kid, l wouldn't go to Komatke if I were you. It's too tough a town for a young kid, ' said Andy Blathle, who 'had caught up to Tommy by this time. Tommy turned his horse around, not knowing whether it was safe or not. Thanks, stranger, it's mighty nice of you to warn me, but I think I'll go in and have a look around just the same. My name is Andy Blathle. I followed you all the way from Tombstone because I wanted to be on hand to help if Bill Blackard tried to harm you, Andy offered. lVIine's Tommy james. I surely am grateful for your consideration for my safety, but what could Bill Blackard possibly have against me? Andy found Tommy James to be a likeable chap and one who could be trusted to keep a secret. Andy was slightly older than Tommy, and was very dark complex- ioned. He had had some experience ni the wilds of Ari- zona and was apt to prove a successful comrade for Tommy in his great mission. Andy told his story, which ran something like this: Tommy, I know you're just a kid and l'm not much more, but I think these few experiences which I have had might serve as some good advice for you to heed. About twelve years ago, Andy continued, I lived about I0
