PETTY THlEvERy MUST
CEASE IN POWDER RIVER

Sheriff Suffer went out on
Pumpkin creek, ten miles west of
Olive Tuesday and returned in
the evening with Leila Fowler and
Eugene Wilbur under arrest
aareed with breaking into the
ranch house of Joe Gaskell and
carrying away about everything
except the roof and the we'll.
The prisoners were arraigned
1effooIe Justice Goodman, and the
preliminary hearing set for next
Monday.
For lack of proper accotnmo
dations' the culprits were taken
to Miles City to await the pre-.
hminary, being unable to furnish
bonds.
This petty larceny business
must cease in Powder River
county," said County Attorney
Burkey to The Independent re.
porter yesterday.
This is a sparcely settled
country, and in the pursuit of
business it is necessary for
ranchers to be away from the
house a great deal of the time.
1t has become too frequent an
occurance that while away their
homes have been pilla9ed.
Looking back only a few years

comparison the articles that were
used by the American troops.
After one brief look anyone
could see that the Germans were
not in our class in equipment
excepting in the matter of the
gun. It had merit and was equal
to any. All these articles were
brought back by Chas. Jorgensen
who was on the fighting front in
France for nine months. He was
IN the three largest engagements
during the war, besides going
over the top in numerous night
raides and skirmishes. He was
in the historic round up on the
Marine river when the Powder
River cowboys thought it was
shipping season and rounded up
their beef herd and started to
market then at Berlin driving all
the way on foot to save transpor-
tation and the trouble of loading
and unloading. However, when
they got their herd to the cutting
pens of Armistice the range
bosses decided to corral them
and ship to save time. Mr.. Jor-
gensen is looking fine and says
that he is very glad to be home
in the U. S. A. but that the ex-
perience he has gained is beyond
price.
