HELENA DAILY INDEPENDENT, TUESDAY, MARCH 22, 1938 MONTANA Latest Happenings of Interest From Over the State BOBMT CROFT IS ON NEW POSITION mm ICS Bozeman. March Croft, head football coach at Montana State college left Bozeman Saturday for Utah State college at Logan, Utah, where he becomes dean of men on April 1. The day he becomes dean, is exactly two years since he came to Montana State college. He arrived 3n April 1, 1936 and immediately took over spring football training. He has since piloted the Bobcats through two football seasons.

In becoming dean of men at Utah State, this marks the third time the Utah institution has called Croft. He came there first as a student and graduated in 1921. As a student he was noted for his athletic ability. All Rocky Mountain conference tackle, honorable mention on Walter Camp's 1922 all- American team, Utah State's heavyweight boxing champ and Logan City golf champ, were some ot the honors that came his way as a student. A season of professional foot- hall with the early edition of Green Bay packers and several divisional titles as a high school coach in Utah preceded his first return to Utah State as assistant coach.

He held this position under Dick Romney for five years. He came to Montana State college from that position and last year tied the Utah State team in football. Returning to Utah State for the third time marks the end of any participation in collegiate athletics, Croft said before he left. As Utah State's first dean of men, he says there will be plenty to keep him busy and he welcomes the relief from "sleepless nights before every game." During his two-year stay at Montana State college, Croft developed a new interest in sports, other than football, particularly winter sports. He also brought wholesome athletics to many young people of tSe state while in charge of 4-H club recreation at a series ol summer camps last summer.

He was called upon frenaently as a speaker before many civic groups and high schools because of his view ot athletics as only a part of undergraduate train- lag.

DWl Ptia, KIN REUNITED 81 March story of how the late Mrs. Catherine Orr, 69, who was buried at White- tip Saturday, and her sister, the late Mrs. Margaret Deinpsey, who died at Wlutefish a number of yr-ars ago, found each other after having been separated for many years, and losing all knowledge ot each other's whereabouts, borders on the miraculous.

Mrs. Orr and Mrs. Deinpsey were both born in New York. Mrs. Dempsey came west and in the passing years the sisters lost trace of one another.

One day as Mrs. Dempsey was walking from her home in Lake- tide across the Great Northern tracks she saw a New York newspaper, which had probably been thrown from a passing train, lying beside the tracks. She picked it up and took it with her. In it she found an item about Mrs. Catherine Orr being injured in an automobile wreck.

She wrote to the address given and received a reply from her sister. Mrs. Dempsey was not well, and asked her sister to come and be with her. Mrs. Orr came.

After her sister's death she remained with the Dempsey family for a time, then went to work for a family residing near Kalispell. When she was taken ill she was cared for at the county hospital, where she died. Funeral services were conducted by Father O'Shea. Billings, March of one of the largest rings of illicit fur dealers in the western states in recent years was announced Saturday by Kenneth F. Roahen, federal game management agent here, following receipt of word that two defendants had been convicted by a federal court jury at eno, Nev.

The two men convicted, Roahen said, were William Brennan of Winnemucca, and Cyrus Shuter of Boise, Idaho, both well known fur buyers of the West. A third defendant is under indictment and awaiting trial in New York. He is Benjamin Miller, New York fur buyer who purchased furs from the two western men, Roahen said. Roahen said the case involved violation of the Lacy act, which prohibits the interstate shipment of furs illegally taken. The shipment included about 300 beaver hides valued at about $4,000.

The furs were trapped in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Utah and were purchased by the two western fur buyers and then sold to the New York buyer and shipped fci interstate commerce. Several other persons involved have not yet been apprehended, Koahen said. Agents of the United States biological survey in several states had been working on the case since early last fall. The men were convicted In Reno March 3. Shuter was sentenced to one year and one day in a federal prison on a charge of conspiracy to violate the Lacy act, and was given $100 fines on each of four other counts in the indictment.

Brennan was released on probation until May when he will be sentenced, Roahen said.
