DIRTY LINEN IS
BEING WASHED
Several Resorts to Court In Troubles
At PlentywOod-Many Arrests
Were Made.

There seems to be plenty of trouble
at Pl%entywood, according to the Pion-
err-Press, which has much to say re-
garding the contention between it's
owner and the county commissioners,
which in its r~amifications seems to in
clude a bank failure and other big fl
nancial transactions. Warrants were
flying thick and fast last week and
court proceedings numerous. The pa
per referred to says:
FRIDAY morning last Hon. Judge
Conner sustained the motion to quash
the custer proceedings recently
brought against the county commits
%sioners and not w%ithstanding 'SeeSes'
statement to the contrary, the matter
will be APPEALED to the Supreme Court.
Saturday morning through the
combined efforts Of the corps of at
torneys employed by the county to as
sist Erickson, together with the help
of special accountants, DC etc, C. J.
Beiseker was arrested, hailed into
Justice of the Peace Olson's court
who placed his bond at the insignifi-
cant sum of $20,000.O0 which Mr..
Beiseker would not endeavor to pro.
cure and he was placed in the county
Jail where he is still confined at this
writing.
Saturday afternoon Tiny Joe was
also served with a warrant of arrest
charged with filing an alleged fraud.
ulent claim against the county. Judge
Olson opined that in this instance a
bond of $500 would be sufficient tc
assure Dolin's presence, this bond was
procured and at present we are still
at large. The arresting game is still
in progress, j. F.. Redmond being
brought into camp Wednesday ever
ing, filed his bond and was turned
loose. We understand Rex Movius will
also be called upon, but there seems tt
be some question whether he will be
returned from Minnesota or not.
"wednesday evening Jud Matkir
had no more than reached home a
the ranch, after being in session will
the board of commissioners here fol
three days, until the sheriff called
and served him with a warrant of ar
rest. He came to town immediatel!
and appeared before Judge Olson wht
placed his bonds at $25,OOO.OO the un
reasonableness of the amount of thi'
bond is apparent to anyone howeve
further proceeding in the matter wa
suddenly stopped Wednesday evening
by the electrical storm which put al
the lights out of commission. Thurs
day morning Olson informed Mr.. Mat
kin's attorney that the bond was re
duced to $4,000. which was furnished.
"All the above proceedings are no
to be surprised at, as it is hardly pos
sible that high priced attorneys an
accountants could expect their job t
last, unless they at least made a nois
and furnished a certain amount o
newspaper thunder, to make the PEG
pie believe their services were needed
"The District Courts time wa
pretty much taken up this week wit
the suit instituted by Grant Hoag
against Sheridan county to collec
something over $4,8OO.0O which h

, cred.
:, "At the regular meeting of tn
: commissioners Wednesday,, it wa
: brought out just how economical tn
: affairs of the county are now bein
: conducted by the allowing claims 70
: attorneys fees amounting to over So,
100000 this in addition to the regula
salary and expenses of the county at
Z torney. Nothing has been brought t.
light as yet, on the charges file
against any of the alleged offender
y and just what those responsible TO
the arrests expect to recover, and jus
what they will recover is at presen
unknown. However it will have to b,
a considerable amount if it keeps pac'
, with the amount the county is spend
ing daily in attorney and accountant
, fees.
