Big Dutch Breaks
Into Limelieht

According to information re-
ceived from Justice Maguire's
court at Bainville, a character
known in the southeast country as
big Dutch" figured in another
cutting scrape at Mondak Sunday
night and as a result certain parts
of his anatomy is said to be rather
severely carved up. big Dutch is
temporarily laid up following the
carving bee and others among
those present" are out on bail.
The carving party happened at a
house along the river between
Mondak and Bainville. There was
quite a party. Among the invited
guests were big Dutch, Mr..
Baumgartner, a woman known as
Laura, and another woman who
responds to the nomiker of "Sco-
hey Pete" As stated there was
quite party. In fact to be ex-
plicit it was some" party. Every
one seemed to be having a good
time until someone called someone
something, then the stuff was all
off and the carving part of
the program took place. 1t was a
success also and today friend
Dutch" is in bed with a sore
'Tummy." Sheriff Pat Macy got
wise to the party and placed the
crowd under arrest. County At
.orney Ernest Walton hailed them
nto Justice Maguire's court at
3ainville where fines of $50 a
piece were imposed on the men
md "Scobey" Pete while the wo-
nan Laura was assessed the small
um Of $4,000. As far could be
aarned this fine has not been
aid. Big Dutch" has figured in
everal escapades in the past few
'ears.-Poplar Standard.
