Total sum yet to be accounted for by the Mon
tana & Dakota Elevator Company
$2l,5l2.4O

al The above figures tell just how much that the Mon
tana Dakota Elevator Company still has of the money
longing to the taxpayers of Sheridan County which has moi
been accounted for and for which that company refuses
render statement claiming that their records have been de-
stoyed because it to try to keep them because of
aceraln that lives Minneapolis that eats paper
The Montana & Dakota Elevator Company claim that
they have rendered accounting to the county If has,
where the records, Mr. Weinrch Mr. Makins Mr. Tim
mons Mr.. Redmondp
will be noticed by referring back to the dates indicated
above that the Montana & Dakota Elevator Company re-
turnedhe of 1892 February 26th the last day
or the y Grady VS. Redmond when Mr. Red
mond realized that his efforts steal the election for Auditor
bad failed and that stolen money must come back.
will be noticed that the last payment made by the Mon
1919 after Mr.. Redmond, Mr. Matkins Mr. Wenrich and
Attorney c. R. Elery made their famous trip to MINNEAPOLIS
to see MIR Dunn Of the Montana & Dakota Elevator Com
Pay and after the campaign of exposure made by the Pro-
ducers News.
1t was this trip that the County Commissioners paid Mr.
Redmond about ST 81 for time and make order
to coax out of the Montana & Dakota Elevator
company besides paying themselves and expenses
and which they accompanied by Attorney Eery
OF the law firm of Babcock Elery slipping away quietly and
secretly when they left without telling soul unbeknown to
]: j. Gunther, who the county attorney and who
should have been the attend the of
this seed grain swnde And it interesting fact that At
orey Eey did present his claim the county for SER
vices rendered in this and just how he paid this
transaction matter of speculation for much
to believe he rendered the service for his amusement
The law firm of Elery & Babcock are high priced firm
How they pad9 The Producers News will be glad to
publish an explanation from any knowing the facts
here just two ways these services could have been
paid for:
First, the County Commissioners, including Mr. Vein
rich OF Mondak paid MIR Eey of their own pockets as
they should have done in of this kind or
Second, The Montana & Dakota Elevator COMPANY paid
Nessrs Eley Babcock by separate check deductng the
amount from the amount turned the county on April
Sth '9l9 at which time the famous voyage was made to
Minneapolis to Mike Dunn when Mr. Ellery was taken
along instead of the County Attorney and which is the prob
able way that the services of MIR Eery paid for
Perhaps Mr. Ellery will advise as will clear the whole
matter up and give the people lot Of light this situations
might help the county to get rid of couple of rascas in of
hce besides recovering lot Of the taxpayers money?
Surely the statement rendered Sheridan County bv the
Montana Dakota Elevator Company will throw lot of
light the subject and help the accountant to check the
ter up.
Surely MIR Watkins knows something about this state
ment ne along when rendered If he could only
tel! the people and the public accountant Mr. Grant Hoaee
where the statement OF the be found # will helm
Mr. Foage quickly complete his work in order that he
make ms report to the County Commissioners as requested
some time and then they could pay him off as per con-
ract 1t seems surprising that Mr. Maxim should withhold
his statement and delay matters in this way t
The Producers News entitled to the credit of
ng SzOI/5 OF this seed grain steal already and will be
he means OF recovering every stolen before the matter is
one with. q
