YOUNG LADY FOUND
DEAD ON HOMESTEAD
THREELADIES DROWN
In MISSOURI RIVER

Culbertson was shocked Monday by
the news reaching here that three
ladies had lost their lives the eve
ming before while bathing in the
Missouri river, south of Brockton.
Their names were, Mrs. Carl Lar
son, Marie Ruffato and a younger
sister, daughters of Clio Ruffato.
Their ages were respectively 20, Is
and 10 years old.
1t is reported that the three, ac-
companied by still younger Ruffato
girl, went down to the river Sunday
afternoon and were wading in the
river on a sandbar. The little girl,
6 or T years old, was not allowed to
go in the water with the others and
she gave the alarm. 1t appears that
one of the girls stepped off into deep
water and the other two in trying
to rescue her were soon beyond their
depth. None of the girls could swim,
and soon they were being swept down
the river by current, which is quite
swift at Brockton.
Up to Wednesday morning none
of the bodies had been recovered.
A party from Brockton were search
ing the river yesterday between that
point and Culbertson, but so far no
trace of the bodies has been found.
People along the river are requested
to be on the lookout and report to
Clio Ruffato, father of two of the girls
at Brockton.
The bereaved parents and relatives
have the sincere sympathy of the
whole communicative Culbertson
Searchlight.

No Evidence Found
Indicating Violence
Thought to Hav
Succumded From
Exhaustion.

The body of Louise Marsh was
found dead in homestead shack
80 miles southwest of Redstone last
Saturday. Immediately the authori-
ties were notified and County Physi-
clan E. G. Steele, Dr. Toney of Red
stone, Deputy County Attorney T.
Greer of Plentywood and Acting
County Coroner Selmer Corlinus of
Redstone went to the scene of the
death.
At first those arriving at the home
stead were given an impression from
the facts connected with the case that
a suicide or murder had been COM
mitted, but after the autopsy the
doctors and jurors came to the con-
clusion that the death of the young
woman was of natural cause produc-
ed by nervousness and exhaustion.
The jurors were John S. Alberts,
I'd. Phillip and Caleb Koljem and Chas
Westgaard
According to the story leading up
to the death, Louise Marsh was to
be a mother within a short time and
had come to her homestead on the
reservation the day of her death in
an automobile from Eckmann, N. D.,
the trip taking two or three days.
After her arrival she asked her bro
ther-in-law, Hilo Chase, who with
his two children We're at the home
stead, to go to nearby spring for
a pail of water. Upon their return
they found Miss Marsh lying on the
bed in a state of exhaustion. She
gasped for breath and said a word
or two and died. The brother-in-law
did everything possible to revive her
and finally sent for help. The de-
ceased has brother, Chas. Marsh,
residing near Flaxville.

ervision of the board and was done
pursuant to a general order of the
board of county commissioners, pro-
viding for such supervision and in
spection was not rendered pur-
suant to any previous order of the
board directing the defendant to in
spect the condition of any contract
construction work on any highway or
bridge in the county, or in connec-
ton with any such inspection"
In his findings Judge Hurry said,
in part: "I think that under the law
of 1913 before commissioner could
charge per diem for inspecting road
work it was necessary that he be
specially authorized by the board and
that general orders would not be
sufficient.
"By stipulation it is conceded that
the commissioners acted in good
faith and for what they believed to
be the best interests or the county.
I feel, however, that regardless OF
this fact, the statute left no discre-
tion with the board and that the fees
charged and colleced by the commits
sioners were unlawful, and | feel it
my duty to render judgment as indi-
Gated. IF the county attorney will
prepare Judgment in accordance with
the views herein indicated and for
ward to me for signature, / will
sign the same"
The case came up for hearing on
Oct. 9, 1917, before Judge John

Loyalst Nonpartisan League Farmers Of North
Oak. Rout the Hunnsh Paytrioteering Pro6teers--
Frazier and Entire League Goes Over the Top

With but a few additional returns
in, the primary election results are
about as reported following the cleo
tion day. The precincts reporting
last brought Governors Frazier's
total vote, with about 800 precincts
missing, to $1,000 and Steen has in
creased his total to 36,283, or a ma
joritysfor the Nonpartisan candidate
of 14,777. There is now little doubt
but that the final figures will show
Frazier with an easy lead of at least
10000 votes.
No changes in the congressional
results have been announced, Baer,
Young and Sinclair being the win
ners.
Returns from the county show
that the house and senate of the
next legislature will be strongly Non
partisan League.
N. C. Mcdonald has a comfort
able lead over Miss Nelson on the
educational ballot for state super
intendent of public instruction and
Harry Bronson of Grand Forks leads
Charles Fisk of Minot for the su-
'preme bench.
It will probably be the latter part
of the week before complete tabu-
lated returns will be available.

AT GREAT FALLS

Owing to misunderstanding, or
as one of the members expressed it,
"A lack of understanding, num-
Der of Farmer members of the Lea
que gathered at Carpenters hall on
Monday, July 1, for the purpose of
discussing matters pertaining to the
organization in general and a state
convention in particular.
Mr.. Sam Teagarden, at whose in
stance the call was sent out, ex-
plained what was wanted and seem
ed little confused as to exactly what
that wes; however, R. B. Martin,
who happened to be around, was
able to clear the matter up and in a
rattling good speech explained the
burdens and snxieties of the Ma
tional office and gave an excellent
resume of the ever-changing strategy
of the long battle they had and the
members generally, are called upon
to wage. Martins few words proved
an eye-opener to the assembled
farmers and the lack of information,
''took to the woods and has not since
been heard Of"
The meeting all the
time in the spirit of good fellow
ship-was ornamented by not a few
excellent speeches from the various
delegates and the sentiment of the
meeting crystalizel in a resolution
confirming once again the solidarity
and steadfastness of the member
ship. Nothing could have been finer,
the trades union men present enjoy
ed the thing to the limit and a sug-
gestion was made that joint meet
ing be called of both arms of the
industrial army, that the old gang
might know at last that Union men
and Farmers were one. A good time
was had indeed, and the visiting
delegates went home more than ever
bent on the great watchward:-

A prominent young farmer of the
Dagmar country writes the following
letter to the Producers News throw
ing considerable light on another
angle of the questionable bust
ness methods, which can be traced
right into the door of the court
house.
The Producers News will be glad
to receive and publish any further
information on the above subject
that the farmers are able to furnish.
We want the people Of Sheridan
county to comprehend the peculiar
manifestations of paytrioteering that
have developed in this county.
The letter follows:
Dagmar, Mont, June II, 1918.
Editor Producers News,
Plentywood, Montana.
Dear Sir
While visiting a friend the other
day, we were discussing the County
Seed Grain proposition, and neither
one of US seemed to know why the
farmers were compelled to pay $2.45
per bushel for seed wheat, although
a law was passed against anyone
charging 1870 more than the mar
ket price for seed wheat, which
would be about $3.50 here.
This friend of mine got his seed
through the county, being told to
get it at the elevator at Reserve
When he got there they told him
they had no seed and told him to
GO out into the country to one An
drew Larson, who happens to be my
neighbor. I know for a fact that
Mr.. Larson got only $500 per bushel.
Ny friends was to pay $2.48 per
bushel, for which he gave his note
bearing go interest; we would like
to know who got that other 48 cents
per bushel.
I understand that Larson might
have gotten S2.O2 per bushel if he
had demanded it, but not any more
than that.
My friend asked County Attorney
L.. J. Onstad why they were eharg-
ing such price, and Onstad told
him that, "you must realize the
amount of work we have done to
get this through"
But could it actually take 48 cents
per bushel, or let us say the sellers
had received $2.02, which would then
leave 46 cents to cover expenses, it
don't look to me as if the farmers
who needed help was gettin it at
cost.
My friend also bought some flax
from the county, for which he is
paying $4.75 per bushel; at the time
he got the fax it was selling for
