K OVER BEISEKER'S DEFAULT, DOING NOTHING

said that all the special attorneys had
been hired that was going to be hired.
Lundeen insisted on getting a deputy
county attorney to assist Erickson
but the board was not interested. It
was suggested that Tyler and Ibsen
should go to Fessenden to see Beisek-
er to see if they could coax that gen
tleman to pay the county and save
trouble, but as Lundeen declined to 90
Ibsen thought that he did not want to
go either, so the matter ended. Com.
Tyler, making another cute remark,
said, II would rather let Beiseker
have the money than to spend any
more money on collection. Many
people think that Tyler has been of
that mind for long time and that he
is the man that Beiseker had in mind
when he Dragged to Wheeler that he
had a majority of the board that
would stick with him in the looting
of the county out Of the whole sum
and that he had the court right in his
pocket as he insinuated at the time
has been well borne out by the recent
actions of the court.
Board AdjOurns
Wednesday morning, after instruct
ing County Attorney Erickson to go
to Fessenden to interview Mr. Beisek-
er, and after refusing to pay Jens
GrOnvold, a poor man, his back salary
as a clerk in the Office of County
Treasurer Olson, in the sum of $3.50,
the Board adjurned, feeling quite well
satisfied.

THIEVES TAKE
EGCEN'S WHEAT

John Eggen of the Archer precinct
was in the county capitol Monday.
He reported that some one has gotten
away with at least a hundred bushel
Of his wheat, which was taken out of
his grainery while he was away to
Chicago with a carload Of cattle. The
culprits must have thought that their
opportunity was good while Eggan
was away and made hay while the
sun was shining. There was no one
at the farm during the time he was
away as his hired help was not work.
ing at home at that particular time.
He says that he has the culprits fair
ly well spotted and that he is going
to go the limit both in expense and
time in order to put these thieves
where they belong. Mr.. Eggan says
that it certainly seems that this west
ern country is a paradise for those
engaged in horse rustlng, mOonshin-
ing and stealing in general, and he
says: "I should think that it would
appeal to all and any citizen of
Sheridan county to try to make this
a civilized and safe community to live
in. Instead it seems that it is grad
ually getting back to the road agent
days Of. the COS the time Of such men
as Georges Ives and the Plummers.
But I believe that this ruff stuff viii
be stopped and put an end to in the
very near future"

tions are to have facilities at termina
points. They are to work together il

tions. They will cooperate as much a:
possible but remain separate and dis
tinct companies.

CITY ELECTION
CREATES INTEREST
BELANSKI ELECTED MAYOR,
EASILY, AND JOE KAVON AND
VIM. EWING ELECTED MEM
RERS OF THE COUNCIL BY
SUBSTANTIAL MAJORITY.

City Election Monday developed
considerable interest in PlentyWOod.
AS was prophesied last week, for
when the time came to vote consider
able interest generated and what
everyone thought would be quiet af
fair, turned out to be a regular Plen-
tywOOd election.
Those believing in a better govern
ment for Plentywood as whole got
out and worked for Kollman for may
or and those who wanted to return to
the old lose and easy days, supported
Belansld; probably not because they
expected so much from Belansh, but
more as a matter of revenge because
of the policy adopted providing a
better and a higher moral toned gov
ernment, by the present council and
those resenting this change getting
out and voting solidly for Belansld
more because of q desire to punish
HOLMAN than because they expected
BelansEi to return to the old free and
easy conditions which is the JOY Of
the bootleggers and knights of the
green table. Whatever the facts, 1T
was noticeable that all of the Plenty
wood underworld got out and worked
like trojans and voted as a unit for
Belansd and as soon as the votes
were counted every bootlegger end
gambler in the berg was on the fence
Tapping their wings and growing,
among them Little Joe Dolin, declar-
ing that the control of the city has
been retained under the influence cf

Man Mary Baker tilted To Wed
 London Girl

LIE TOUQUET, France, August 20. Allister Mccormick, after a dinner to friends here Wednesday evening announced that he will shortly be married to Miss Joan Stevens of London, daughter of Mrs. Esterly prominent society woman, and rela tive of Lord Hastings.
 The romance of young Allister Me Cormick and Miss Mary Landon Baker of Chicago filled many columns in the newspapers of last year.
 Miss Baker tilted her fiance on four separate occasions, and their courtship kept England, France and America on the jump to solve the question, "Win she, or won't she, marry him?"
 The engagement of the couple was first announced in 1911. When the wedding guests were assembled in a Chicago church and the prospective groom was preparing for the cere- mony, word came from Miss Baker that the wedding would have to be postponed. Later the guests gath cred a second time, and a second time the bridegroom waited at the church.
 Then Miss Baker sailed for Eu- rope, followed soon after by Me Cormick. The engagement was on again and off again twice In London and Paris.
 On her return to America last Feb ruary Miss Baker announced that the wedding was definitely off and that she was engaged to no one"
