''Old Gang Tries To

Pentywood Bunch That Has Always Opposed Producers
News and Farmers Again Try njure Farmers Paper
BY Using Hospital as the Goat.
EFFORTS WILL FAIL AS They ALWAYS DO


Reports from various sources dis
close that a. number of "soreheads''
in and about Plentywood have taken
to- heart an article which appeared in
the Producers News in the issue of
November 10Th, relative to alleged
misconducts and unethical practices on
the part of Drs. Sells and Storkan in
removing one, Louis Ehrmantraut,
from the Outlook Hospital to the
PlentywoOd Hospital a few hours af-
ter he was operated upon at the
former place. Mr.. Ehrmantraut died
a few days after the transfer took
place.
These "soreheads" wall and wiring
their hands and accuse the Producers
New of bending its effort to ruin and
discredit the Plentywood hospital.
Not one person in Sheridan county,
nor anywheres else will see a single
word against the Plentywood hospital
in the article referred to and the Pro-
ducers News has never at any time
knocked the Plentywood hospital nor
any other hospitals. These persons,
who are all we'll known to the Pro
ducers News, are deliberately trying
to misconstrue the article as a knock
against the Plentywood hospital,
thereby hoping to create adverse SEN
timent towards the farmers paper and

The Outlook men say that it's 60

on bv anyone in Sheridan county.
They are out to show the women
how it, done and if amount and
quality counts for anything they're
going to take first place.
The dinner which will be served by
the men consists of ducks, turkeys,
chickens and geese with all the trim
mings and pies, cakes, puddings,
and in fact everything that ever
graced a table on that Day of Feasts.
There win be no limit to the good
things to eat, the only stopping place
being vour capacity to eat any more.
The men have gor the preparations
made and each day plan some new

been eaten.
There has been considerable rivalry
between the ladies and gentlemen of
Outlook on account of dinners which
have been served heretofore and the
result has been about 50-50 This has

part of the men and has resulted in

HILL-BANTZ

Last Wednesday afternoon, Robert
A. Hill and Lola A. Bantz, we'll known
young people Of Outlook, stole a.
march on their friends and were
quietly married at the Evangelical
church by Rev M. o. Siewert.
The bride is a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. c. Bantz of Plentywood, and
has lived in the Outlook community
for many years and was very popu-
lar among the young people of that
community
The groom IS young farmer of
the Outlook precinct and is known as
a very dependable and straight for
ward young man.
The happy young couple will live
on a farm which Mr. Hill has rented
for the coming year in the Outlook
country, where they are now at home
to their many friends.
The Producers News joins with their
legion of friends in wishing the new
lyweds a happy and prosperous life;
that the noon and evening of their
married life may be as beautiful and
as clOudless as their morning.

At this time, during the period of

the duty Of every good citizen to in

OUTLOOK MERCHANT
MAKES STATEMENT

Outlook, Mont, Nov 21.
Editor Producers News,
PlentywOod, Mont.
Dear Sir:
Please correct the statement in your
article of last week to the effect that
/ Was instrumental in having dr.
Ehrmantraut moved from the Out
look General Hospital to the Sheridan
County Memorial Hospital. AS a
matter of fact, never talked to the
Plentywood doctors at all. l did not
know that they had been called until
aft rethey had gone back home.
Please do me the justice, too, to
publish my statement that I have
never knocked the Outlook Hospital.
I have never turned down call for
help from this hospital, contributing
always my share in money or in mer-
chandise. whenever called on to do so.
This is indeed a most unfortunate
affair fer all concerned; and l trust
that you will do me the courtesy, in
fairness to myself and family, to pub
lish the above statement.
Yours very truly,
KARL ]. KARLSON.

Some of these "soreheads" talk
prosecution, boycott and everything
else against the Producers News. This
is not the first time that a certain
clique has attempted to discredit the
Producers News. Many similar eff
forts have been made in the past, in
most instances, when the Producers
News has attempted to publish the
truth, but which might frustrate some
evil design of some greedy CIR Grim
inal person.
The article was designed to elimin-
ate evil practices in the medical pro-
fession to the detriment of the public
at large. Many instances Of very
serious consequence have been called
to the attention of the Producers
News regarding the PlentywcOd doc
tors, but which we refrained from
publishing in order to avoid adverse
sentiment which the doctors always
attempt to stir up whenever their
practices are criticized. We find,
however, that the majority of the
people want to know the facts and we
were pleasantly surprised at the un-
usually large number of new subscrib-
ers which have come in since the ar
ticle referred to was published.

ATTEMPT MADE
TO BURN GOODMAN
RESIDENCE SUNDAY
Firebugs Try to Burn Beautiful For
rest Goodman Home in Outskirts of
PlentywOOd While Mr.. Goodman
Was Away on Business.

Last Sunday evening between the
hour of 500 and 600 o'clock, an at
tempt was made by unknown parties
to burn the Forrest Goodman resi-
dence which lies on the eastern out
skirts of this city.
1t seems that Mrs. Goodman had
come up town on a business errand.
and while the children were playing
in the house and the hired man was
also sitting in the residence, some
person or persons slipped around to
the west side of the house and placed
a large pile of kindling and after sat
urating the kindling with kerosene
and also the side of the house, the
fire bug touched a match to the
wood and disappeared in the dark
ness.
In the meantime Mrs. Goodman had
finished her duties up town and was
returning home when she saw the
flames. She Immediately called the
hired man who got some water and
quenched the fire which had not got
ten sufficient start to prevent the
blaze from being extinguished with
the water from the pump.
The kindling was placed in such a
position so as to burn the telephone
wires as it leaped into the air and
thus prevent aid being called, giving
the blaze a better chance to develop
so as to be impossible to check until
it had devoured the residence.
A News reporter was notified by
Jerry Powell, who has lived with the
Goodmans for years and who was call
ed from up town as soon as the blaze
was discovered, that the fire was not
the work Of children, but that the
officials were working on the case and
using every means at their disposal
to trace the fire bug to his lair.
