Parasites Are Flocking to s he el hy BY MAX MILLER (Special Correspondent of The Star) BOARD THE TRAIN, June 11.—“MaWwtawna!” nounced like that by the conductor. *“Mahtahnah!” across the aisle. He's on his way to Shelby. He's a cook and has a six-yard concession on one of the Jargest states in the Union. He's going |to sell hamburgers from a box. The back of his oily neck is squashy, and he doesn't care how the fight comes out—but hopesefor sake of business it’s an hour or so late in starting. Pro- ONTINA!” Pronounced like that by two women in the! seat behind. They are heading for Great Falls, and| hope two former Seattle gentlemen by “Bloomey” and “Stew” will be there to meet them. The earrings of one of the women are of black and white beads, and each time she swings her head—which is often—they switch around her throat And one knows that with these earrings she's prepared to frighten away Montana's summer mosquitoes. The ear decorations of her companion are of beer-bottle red and not so long. Both women have their hats in their laps. They expect to y around Great Falls from now until two or three days after the fight—but aren't going to Shelby. per eae} N the forward corner two heavy-shouldered short men are} playing cards. The one facing aft has a nose half-circular like a cucumber and smashed flat across the bridge. His hat is balancing on the back of his head, and his face has been punched until padded with callouses. His companion, facing forward, back turned, has the ear of an clephant. Mayte the two, before their stomachs were as bloated ax now, have met in the same ring and were watched. Now they are going to watch. It’s their turn to do the watching, and to be with those at the fight who drink pop. They evidently are thru, ri ia HE conductor says that every day an airplane lands close to Shelby from Canada. “Shelby’s full of it,” he emphasized—not meaning the airplane. “The worst of it 4s, tho, wherever there's whisky there's dope.” Then he went into a discourse about morphine and other subjects. . Seat- tle people don't know it, but knockout drops isn't what ‘gets’ girls an men around dance halls these days. But ‘paragoric’ clgarets is what does it “They dip the cigarets in ‘paragoric, sce! Then Jet them dry, After that when they offer, ‘Have a ciguret, please!’ they just as much as say, ‘Come here, please, and let me knock you goofey”” . . But all that has ‘nothing to do with tangling of arms at Shelby. Or has it? o * the forthcoming $600,000 en- 3 ‘ CCORDING to the conductor, the boxing fans are not those going over to the battlefield this early: are not those now filling a quarter of this car and headed for Great Falls or Shelby? According to the conductor the boxing fans—the real boxing fans—will not be traveling until a few days, or hours, before the gong. But those now filling a quarter of this car are the lice that live on hens, are the fungi that live off tree trunks, are the parasites who live off fights— yet to whom the fight, itwelf, iy merely a side issue, Taper dice, loaded dice! A state that is running on oil wells and bluff—uncertain crops, if any. Taper dice, loaded dice! Playing for advertising and pocket money for the summer, Good old Montana, you're game, anyway!
