winter of 1918-1e1e the elevator at
Whitehall had burned and all of the
records had been destroyed. Quite a
number of the Montana-Dakota ,ele-
vators in this section Of the country
were burned at about that time, de
stroying The elevator records. The
man charged with the burning of the
Northumberland elevator at Scobey:
has just been brought back to Daniels
county for trial.
So the wheat was located and the
proper charge made against the Mon
tana-Dakota Company.
A few days passed. -.
Then one day, Attorney L.. J, On
stad came into the auditors office and
turned i'll This draft, sixteen months
I old. asking for a credit for the same
to the Onstad Grain Company which
is owned by his brother George On
stad of Westby. Mrs O'Grady asked
him why it had not been turned il
before, and thai it was remarkable
that draft payable to the -oounty
should have been held out of the .cotn-
ty treasury for sixteen months. At
| torney Onstad gave as an excuse that
his brother, George Onstad, had 3
claim against the county for 81 bush
els of wheat which the county hao
disallowed and that he was holding
| the same until he got his money. Mrs
O'Grady replied that she was surprls-
ed because Of his action, because II
he had a claim against the county he
should have fled it and presented il
! to the auditor end the board, in order
that it might be acted upon and not
hold up county money.
At that J. c. O'Grady, Mrs
O'Grady's husband, hearing the dis.
cussion came up, saw the warrant
and took it saying, Il know all about
this affair, [ will attend to it, ane
he took the draft, took it to the

draft through to Duluth for collection
and in the course of time it was re
turned to him protested-the commits
sion firm had gone broke about three
week before. 1t is believed that At
torney Onstad had knowledge Of the
fact and that was his reason for turn
ing it in.
County Attorney Gunther and his
assistant, George Cudhie, brought 4
suit against the Onstad Grain Com

THE STORY
After the distribution Of the seed
grain relief in the spring of 1913,
there were left in the Onstad Elevat-
or at Westby, load Of wheat that
was SO dirty and SO full of foul weed
seed that the farmers would not take
it and it was loaded onto a car and
shipped and was lost, at least for the
time being.
At the same time, there were LETT
in this same elevator, 400 bushels OF
flax. Jim Redmond, the seed grain
disbursing agent, ordered Onstad
Grain Company 20 ship the same to
Duluth and sell it ard turn the pro
ceeds into Sheridan county. The On
s+ad Grain Company, following in
s5ructions, shipped the fax in the
name of the county and in the course
of a few days, received draft from
the Commission firm III the sum OF
$4,000, dated at Duluth, July tn,
1918, and made payable to Sheridan
County. Montana, at the city Ma
tional Bank of Duluth" But the
check was never turned into the eoun-
ty treasurer for long time, IN TACT
for sixteen long months.
Whv was this draft held up?
Onlv Mr. Onstad knows.
In the spring Of 1919, Grant Hoage,
noted special accountant OF suite
was placed upon the records OF Sherl-
dan county. and especialIy upon the
records of the Seed Grain Transaction
bv Attorney General Ford and County
Attorney J. J. Gunther. It will be re
membered that in a few days after
Mr.. Hoage commenced work, the
Board of County Commissioners call
ed Mr.. Hoage in and asked him, II ne
had found anything yet, wanted to
know what he had found, and how
no1oh his services would cost and then
not being able to find out to dot,
nroceeded to dismiss the Special Ac-
countant, in spite of the fact that they
had hired him to do a specific job and
had entered the contract upon the
records, and in spite of the fact that
Mr.. Gunther had the authority to hire
accountants without the permission OF
the Board of County Commissioners.
Mr.. Hoage, however, completed the
work and traced down the Seed tram
Transactions to a fraction OF a bush-
eel. He found that the records dis,
closed that there were 400 bushels OF
flax at the. Onstad Elevator at west
bv. besides about a carload OF wheat:
that Mr.. Onstad could not account tor
saving that he had shipped it and

Several big prairie fires have ragged
along the 500 Line the past week.
The origination of the fires has been
from several causes, the one starting
at McElroy is thought to have been
started by the 500 train as the flames
were discovered shortly after the
train had passed near the track. Many
barns and houses and other buildings
have been destroyed along with large
quantities Of hay and feed. The grass
is quite long in that section of the
county and the prairie fire reaches a
terrible velocity.
The fires the past week were located
as follows: Between McElroy and
Comertown; north of Westby; east of
Westby; north of Dooley; north of
Raymond. .
The grass is very dry and even a
cigarette thrown carelessly about will
often cause a fire that will run into
the thousands of dollars and cost many
people their homes. Also a great deal
of care needs to be exercised in burn
ing weeds as a fire may get beyond
the control of the burners and cause
a big confagration. A little care ex-
ercised by all of us will eliminate
this danger with the exception of the
fires started by railroad engines which
is all too frequent along the 500 Line
| in this county.

that it had been lost When Hoage
and j. C. O'Grady went to Westby and
made inquiries about the flax, Mr..
Onstad's bookkeeper advised that the
flax had been shipped in the early
summer Of 1918, and that draft for
the same made out in the name of
the county had been sent to L. J. On
stad, who was then county attorney
at PlentyWood. This was in October,
1919, and that he supposed that the
money had been turned into the coun-
,ty, etc The investigators asked
about the carload of wheat, but the
bookkeeper could furnish no inforna-
ton. OGrady suggested that they
go to the depot and see what they
could find out from the records
there. Sure enough, they found that
the Onstad Elevator had shipped a
carload of wheat in the name of the
county in June, 1918, to the Montana
Dakota Elevator Company at White
tail, where that company got rid of
the dirty seed grain, but did not re-
port it to the county or give the coun@

WHERE IS THE
Law ENFORCEMENT?

Last Thursday night the. city was
turned over entirely, unreservedly to
the Halloween fend, and for hours
rowing bands prowled over our city,
bent upon the most malicious mischief,
without the least restraint whatever.
Now we are not opposed to children
enjoying themselves upon this night
as we'll as other nights. Their pranks
are generally harmless and there is
no destruction of property.
But my good readers of Plenty
wood, are you in favor of turning ov-
err our city to the elements that run
riot Tuesday night and not hand
or voice raised to protect you or your
property from wilful and malicious
destruction.
The responsibility of such unlawful
acts rests: First with the parents that
have never taught their children pro-
per respect for others, and that they
should not destroy the property OF
others.
Secondly with the officials that ex-
ercise little or no authority at such

wood, would it not be far better tx
choose officers that will give you pro
lection and enforce the law at al
times, or shall we continue TO sleel
in this manner until the individual il
compelled to take the law into his owl
hands to protect himself and his pro
| perty from destruction?

half as much, and the records show
that the county surveyors Office ac-
tually cost the taxpayers half as much
to run as does the Office of the Clerk
& Recorderf Mr.. Gunther says that
it should not cost the taxpayers over
nine thousand dollars to run the
clerk and recorders Office and when
the fees are subtracted it will be
found that Mrs. O'Grady's office cost
less than that sum. Take the office of
Sheriff, and it will be found upon in
vestigation that it ,issrun now cheaper
than it has ever been run before, while
that is not true of the cost of the
county commissioners. Take again the
office of county attorney where Mr.
Gunther harps a lot about expense
and deduct the $4,000 paid for at
torneys to straighten out the mess
that he willed to Attorney Erickson
and it will be found that Erickson's
! office cost the taxpayers a little over
six thousand dollars while Mr.. Gunth-
er's Office during his last year, the
