LITTLE BOY
SHOOTS BROTHER
Terrible Accident Occurs at the
Home of George Mildly at
Mildly Monday Afternoon.
BOY KILLED IN PLAY

A terrible and heart rending
accident occurred at the home
of George Mildly, prominent
farmer and rancher of Mildly.
last Monday evening about five
O'Clock, when just after arriving
home from school and when
playing soldier OF some such
game, Merl Mildly, six years
old, seized an old shot gun sit
ting in the entry and shot his
little three-year-old brother,
Wilber, killing him instantly.
1t seems that the two small
boys were great pals, and the
little three-year-old could hard
ly wait for his brother to get
home from school for froic
and would become very lone
some for the older boy who has
just commenced school, and
when the older boy would come
here the baby would run out to
meet him for a run and frolic,
playing all sorts of games as
little boys are wont to do, and
Monday evening the little boy
met his brother the door and
they started to chase each other
about the room pretending to
shoot each other, and the six
year-old Merl saw the old shot
gun in the entry and ran and
got it and held it up to his face
and snapped it his little brother
Wilber in his play, and the gun
was loaded. The little boy was
killed instantly.
The father has been out
hunting cattle early in the day
and had taken the old n1usket
along to shoot rabbits and when
he came home he evidently for
get to unload.
| The older boys face was bad
| ly cut up from the rebound OF
| the gun as he held the gun up
with the hammer close to his
face when he snapped the trig-
ger.
The children were in the
room by themselves when the
accident happened.
The parents are prostrated
with grief.
The funeral will be held at
the Mildly farm home at Mildly
next. Sunday and interment
will be made at the cemetery al
Homestead where the Midbys
have many friends.

co AGENT ANDER'S Son
AGAIN Gets The
Commissioners Matkins. and
Timmons Don't Want Him
Any Longer-AndersoEa Is Too
Square for Them-DoEa't Like
Farm Bureau Directors Either

Commissioners Matkins and
Tinlmons have again decided to
drag County Anderson to the
block and give him the ak.
These birds don't like the coun-
ty agent, they don't like the
Farm Bureau as it is now con-
stituted; they don't like the Of
fcers of the Farm Bureau, they
don't like nobody, nohow. These
birds own Sheridan county, it's
money and it's citizens and
they intend to boss the thing
that they own.
County Agent Anderson is of
no use to the Supreme Rulers of
Sheridan county, nohow. He
looks after the interest of the
farmers and besides he might
be in the way when the next
seed grain bond money is hand
led and it is claimed that An
derson just wont go in for q
| thrifty dollar when he has A
chance.
Supreme Rulers Tinnnons and
Matkins say that they just won't
have another county agent and
will not cooperate with the
Farm Bureau unless they can
appoint the Farm Bureau direc-
tors and otherwise manage it.
These despots say that Neils
Christensen of Dagrnar is a bad
bad man, who is very ruff and
not polite and just speaks out
in church and calls a spade 8
spade and a thief a thief and
| they don't like to be annoyed
/ with that sort of a man in THEN

4 So the county agents Office
will be closed, closed tight about
. January 18th, or just before the
drouth relief money is handed
| out providing the bonds carry.
/ This looks like u wise move

LAKE
GIVESUP GHOST
Old County Seat Hope Dragged
Out and Buried and Plenty
wood Is Now and Forever the
County Seat of Sheridan
County.
CONTEST CASE DISMISSED

Medicine Lake has given up
her county seat aspirations and
the poor old county seat hopes
have been buried in the old
cemetery of lost hopes.
Thursday Druggist Poe of
Medicine Lake in whose name
the old county seat election con-
test was instituted, came to
Plentywood, and by stipulation
filed in court, dismissed the old
contest case and by stipulation
dismissed the motion for new
trial in the, case pending. and
thus the story of the county
seat fight is closed and Plenty
wood is now, without doubt the
county seat.
Mr.. Poe was accompanied to
Plentywood by John Gregg,
cashier of the Security State
Bank of Medicine Lake, and the
gentlemen, acting for Medicine
Lake, gave the black bottle to
the little hope of Medicine. Lake
and the child expired gently and
easily.
Thus ends one of the most
hotly contested county seat
scraps ever held in the west
and those who know, say: that
Medicine Lake was some scrap
per and scrapped well TO the
last. 8

RED GAINS Laid
TO INDIFFERENCE
Montana Editer Says business
and Professional Men Fail TO
Protect Rights.

Note: The following interview,
purporting to come from Bill Camp
bell, appearing in the Minneapolis
Journal, is a first class demonstra-
tion of the depth of falsehood to
which that man can resort to IN car
rying on the Hopper Propaganda.
Everybody in Montana knows that
the Nonpartisan League nor the Reds
are not in power in this state, nor
have been, nor are responsible for one
law on the statute books and every
one knows that the very interests
which Campbell represents are the
people who established the Montana
Trade Commission and is responsible
for the rulings that will put many
merchants ont of business IN Mem
tana, just exactly what the rulings
are meant to do, for Standard Oh! is
in the. Mail Order business and
Standard Oil which owns the A. C. M,
controls the State of Montana, and
every merchant nut out of business
is to the advantage of that COM
pany which viii soon put in q system
of chain stores, or one big store In
every town, and the little merchant
will be a thing OF the past The re-
helps to clear The field
Now Mr. CamOnell gives ont
interview in MinaaSota for the pur-
pose of prejudicing the small business
men in Minnesota who do not know
the reds as he calls them, against the
Nonpaltisar League, and thus cause
this element to fight the farmers in
Minnesota.
Failure of business and pro-
fessional men to take an active
stand against radicalism, and to
vote their convictions, is re-
sponsible for the radical meas
ures put into effect in North
Dakota and Montana, and which
are being proposed by reds I'm

anti red leader and editor of the
independent of Helena, Mont,
said today in warming MinneD-
tans to actively combat all radi--

Indifference toward political
measures by merchants and pro
fessional men, especially meas
ures in the smaller towns, is-the
, reason for the outrageous rul-
ing in Montana which requires
levery merchant TO mark the in
Voice price on every article sold
lin his store before Dec. L." Mr..
Campbell said. ''The merchant
cannot even add freight and
handling charges to the cost
price which he must, according
to law, mark ON each article,
with prospects of being fined
$500 for each offense if he dis
obeys. It win take an army of
extra help in the larger depart
ment stores, at least six months
to mark goods as required. In
a recent ruling the state de-
clared that the merchants would
not have to obey another section
of the law which requires him
to post in d conspicuous place, a
list of all articles handled in his
store, with the cost and selling
price of each. Every local po-

mlSslOnerS at their adjourned
meeting Wednesday finally got
up the courage to go on the Pc
titions filed with them some
time ago, praying that honor
able body to call a special cleo
ton in order to allow the cleo
tors to vote on the proposition
to issue $500, 90 worth of bonds
for seed grain and drouth relief
under the Belden act passed by
the special session last summer,
and the election called for the
3rd day of January 1920.
Commissioners Matkins and
Tilmmons have been wanting to
go on this bond proposition for
some time but have been afraid
of the cars and after referring
the same to the Sheridan Coun-
ty Farm Bureau for investiga-
tion and after that body had in
vestigated and turned the pro-
position down because it seemed
that the bankers of the county
were amply able to care for the
needs of the farmers of the
county and because the PROPOSE
ton seemed to be more of a
bankers relief than a farmers
relief and because of the fact
that the Farm Bureau found
that most of the responsible
taxpayers had not forgotten
that there is twenty thousand
dollars of the last seed grain
fund that is still unaccounted
for and on which the county
commissioners have never re-
ported and which sum was prob
ably stolen, reported against a
bond issue at this time, feeling
that the proposition would be
entirely unsatisfactory because
of the personnel of the board of
county commissioners which
commissioners made such a mis-
cradle fiasco Of the last seed
bond undertaking.
However, petitions were filed
with the county board, and af-
| ter calling the petitions up
meeting after meeting, Messrs.
Matkins and Timmons finally
got the courage to call the elec-
l.tion.
It is not likely that the bonds
will carry; in fact it is a safe
bet that the proposition will be
voted down two to one and the
only results will probably be
that the county will be out
about 1000 for election ex-
penses, and Joe Dolin will have
an opportunity to print some
more ballots and election sup
plies for the county, which
printing job viii without doubt
| be very welcome by him as the
pickings in the printing line are
pretty slim this winter.
It is too bad that the county
should be afflicted as it is by 9
board of county commissioners
whose past record is such that
the people of the county have
absolutely no faith either ir
their intelligence or their hon.
esty, for there is without doubt
in this county many worthy
farmers who honestly need this
relief and under ordinary cir
cumstances it would be goot
business policy to assist them
However looking back over the
history of the antics of this
board of county commissioners

I'M PROPOSITION ALSO SUBMITTED

there is no assurance that were
the money voted, that any of it
would find it's way in the hands
of the worthy and the honestly
needyin fact, If past perform
ances can be used as a criterion,
those who ask for bread will
probably get a stone.
And it would SEEM that the
Board of County Commissions
ers should make an accounting
to the people of the last seed
grain undertaking before the.
taxpayers allow them to handle
another huge sum of money, for
the last seed grain fund is $780,
600 short and the Commissions
|ers made a trip to Minneapo-
lis last spring, accompanied by
Mr.. James Redmond and At
torney Ellery to see the Mon
tana and Dakota Elevator Com
pany and get a settlement and
their expenses were paid for.
making the trip as was also the
expenses of Mr.. Redmond, yet
these county commissioners
have never yet filed a report of
the settlement and the fund is
$4,000 short according to the
figures of the expert account
ant.
Messrs. Tinn1ons and Mat
kins voted for. the resolution
calling the election for the pur-
pose of bonding and Mr.. Tyler
voted against the resolution
VIII Vote ON Read Bonds
There has also been a propo-
sition before the Board of Coun-
|ty Commissioner for some time
to bond the county in the sum
of 5000, 900 for road building
purposes. The commissioners
also decided to call an election
on this proposition which cleo
ton will be held next April at
the same time that the Primary
election lis held, to let the peo-
pie decide whethr thy want to
go in with the state under the
supervision of the State High
way Commission by bonding for
two hundred Thousand dollars
and at the same time get an
other two hundred thousand
dollars more from the state and
| an equal sum from the national
government. This election was
called at the same time as the
Primary election to save ex-
pense as the two elections. can
be held at the same time, un-
less the new primary law is re-
ferred, in which event the cleo
ton on the road bond PROPOSE
! ton would probably be delayed
until the primary election
which would then come in Aug
ust.
Poor Farm Proposition
The Board of County Com
missioners also submitted a
proposition to authorize the
board of county commissioners
to buy a poor farm, which pro-
position will also be voted upon
at the time of the April prim-
aries if the April primaries ma
terialize and If not likely at the
August primaries.
This proposition is the most
meritorious of all and is prob
/ ably the only measure that will
get by, unless there is a great
change of sentiment between
now and election day.

Rowing Coach at Princeton
Kicks Men for Two Crews

PRINCETON, Feb. 1.-The work of
the crew squad has been so encouraging
during the past two weeks that Coach
Fitzpatrick to-day felt justified in an
nouncing the seating of the varsity
and freshman boats. While this boat
ing is, Of course, only preliminary it
indicates that Princeton will have ex-
ceptionally strong and well-devcloped
crews this spring.
Five Of the men who are rowing in
the varsity eight were varsity men
last year. and with such an experienced
nucleus Fitzpatrick expects to have the
crew we'll developed by the time Head
Coach Spaeth returns carly in the
spring.
As yet there has been no definite
announcement in regard TO the sched-
ulc The twos big races Of the year,
however, will probably be the Childs
Cup race with Princeton, Penn and
Columbia meeting on Lake Carnegie,
and triangular race, with Harvard
and Yale as the other members Of the
trio
Princeton authorities are anxious to
make this triangular meeting an annual
affair. and in this endcavor are willing
TO send the Tiger crew To race on the
Charles some date this spring. The
rest of the schedule is I'm under con
sideration, and will likely include dual
races with Cornell, and with Harvard
and Yale II the triangular regatta falls
through.
The material this year has been good.

Arthur Cragin Wins
On Regiment Courts
Against A. C. Postley


Only three matches were played yes
terday on the board courts of the 7th
Regiment Tennis Club, at the armory,
Park Avenue and 66th Street. In the
reglmental championship tourney Ar
thur S. Cragn, a former holder of the
title, went into the semi-final round BY
defeating A. c. Postley. president Of
the club, by score of 60, Go. The
other two matches were played in
Class B, both the winners advancing
into the semi-fnal brackets.
Cragin found little difficulty in tax
ing the measure of Postley, lombard
ing him opponents cort with stronug
forehand and backhand drives, some
times placing the ball across the court
and into the far corners near the base
line, so that Postley was frequently
caught many feet out of position. Ora
gins service was also severe and we'll
placed, and his work at the net was
quite too brilliant for Postley to com
bat SUCCESSFULLY
In the Class B matches, II. Follett
defeated w. H. Hax, at 6-1, 6r-1, and
Jay Anderson eliminated Harold Moore
jr., by score Of 63, Ga, neither of
the winners being pressed.
