BIG FIGHT TN PLENTY
WOOD SATURDAY Eve.
LOCAL BOXER ED MOE TO FIGHT COLORED BOXER
FROM CANADA TOMORROW NIGHT.

Tomorrow, Saturday night will be
big night for the boxing enthusiasts
in this neck(of the woods, when Eddie
Moe, PlentywoOd pug, meets Sammy
Trapp of Moose Jaw in ten round
fight at the Orpheum Theatre in Plen-
tywOod.
Both of these fighters weigh about
the same, 100 pounds and both are
rated as hard hitters and aggressive
fighters.
From all appearances this will, be
the best fight that has yet been pulled
off in this city as the colored man has
considerable reput9tion as a real
fighter and the PlentywOod Public
knows that Moe has kick like a mule
in either hand.
In the recent fights Of Eddie Moe,

DONALD GARRICK
OF OUTLOOK RUNS
INTO FORD CAR

Last Friday afternoon whNs coming
down the Outlook road, Donald Gar
rick, a young man of the Outlook pre-
cinct, ran into a Ford car driven by
Mrs Ralph Thompson, with his motor
cycle, the young man being badly hurt
in the collision.
The Ford car being disabled by the
collision, Mrs. Thompson rushed up to
the Stoner place and got help and the
young man was taken to the Outlook
hospital. At the hospital it was found
that young Garrick had bad cash in
his leg and was suffering from loss of
blood. The wound was dressed and
the young man is getting along nicely
at this time.
Mrs. Thompson, who was driving a
Ford car, was unable to see the motor
cycle and its rider on account of the
sun being in her eyes and had turned
to 90 up a side road toward her home
when the motorcycle with its rider
coming down the road at fast rate
of speed had no time to swerve from
its course. In trying to avert an ac-
cident, Mrs. Thompson drove against
an enbanlzment and broke two wheels
from the car.
1t has not been learned how badly
the motorcycle was damaged, but no
doubt it received a hard jolt.
From all accounts no one seemed
to be to blame for the unfortunate af-
fair it being rather a mixture OF con-
ditions which caused the accident.

LOUIS MOE HAS
BAD ACCIDENT

Last Sunday while motoring with
his family to Culbertson, Louis Moe
ran the Buick car which he was driv-
ing into a ditch, breaking two whels
off the car and the auto tipped over
to one side. None Of the occupants Of
the car were hurt
The accident occurred about a mile
this side Of Medicine Lake on the Plen-
tvwoOd-Medicine Lake road. At the
scene of the accident there is a sharp
turn going over the railroad track
which cannot be noticed from the
straight smooth road leading to it and
Mr.. Moe was letting the car out some
what on the smooth road and suddenly
came to the turn and was unable to
make the sharp angle, the car plow-
ing into ditch and breaking off the
wheels on the right side of the ma
chine. 1t happened so suddenly that
Mr.. Moe could hardly tell just what
happened but the car suddenly came
to a stop and rolled over on one side
very slowly
Ole Moe who was coming behind his
brother Louis with another car and his
family and Mr. and Mrs. Hall IotOred
to Medicine Lake and returned with
two wheels for the Buick car and Lou
is started up the machine and went or
to Culbertson repOicing.
In giving an accounting of the affair
Mr.. Moe says that he cannot yet fig
ure out how he got out so lucky, bu
that he has had enough of fast riding
and will take it a little slower aftel
this, especially on strange roads.

STEAL FORD CAR
AT OUTLOOK
HIDE CAR IN RAVINE WEST OF
OUTLOOK - THIEVES w E L L
KNOWN IN 500 LINE TOWN.

Friday noon Of last week, Bob Pat
tersOn and Bert Hamilton, both of
Outlook, took a Ford car which had
been driven oF u that city from
Canada, and drove the auto to some
coulees west of that town where they
cashed it.
When the owner came to look for
his car it was gone and he immediate
ly raised the alarm that his car had
been stolen. 1t seems that the car had.
been left in front of a barber shop
and it just happened that the barber
had seen Patterson and Hamilton get
in the car, but thought they were
merely going for ride.
With this information, Deputy Sher-
iff Stoner made for the Canadian line
in the hopes of heading them off if
they had gone that direction, while
TONY Bowers, the constable was look
ing for the pair nearer home. Shortly
after the hObbery had taken place,
Constable Bowers seen the two cul-
prits coming in town down the rail
/ road track and he arrested thena
After some gruelling young Hamilton
/ told where the car had Deen cashed
/ and he went Win Che OIIlcer anu CIieS
brought it back.
Patterson was brought to Plenty
wood where he plead guilty before
Judge Olson to the charge of having
an automobile in his possession with
out the owners consent AMI he was
bound over to the district court, fOl
sentence.
Young Hamilton, who is only L
wears of age, was not brought up fol
trial. it being firmly established tina
he was merely a companion of Patter
son and no doubt the young man ha
learned a lesson that will go with hin
the rest Of his life.
The car was a Ford of this year
vintage and the owner was yer!
pleased to get back his machine.

RUST APPEARS TO BE FACTOR
IN PREVENTING GOOD YIELD
DRY SPELL HIT SOME SEC
-TIONS.

What otherwise appeared to be
bumper crop is gradually coming
down and estimates are now placed
at from to Is bushels, with the av-
erage running about II. However, in
some districts there will be 20 bushel
fields and perhaps better, but in the
whole farmers place the average
around II bushels with much Of it
running less.
Although this was an ususually wet
season there is a big area south of
Scobey which has had no rain since

suffered materially, but the grade viii

In a large district west Of Scobey
hail did great damage and many of
the farmers have nothing left but
feed, while others with a so and 90
per cent loss find their crops not
worth harvesting.
Rust seems to be the chief factor
in lowering both the average and the
grade. Last year all the wheat market
ed here was No. but this year there
will be several grades and weights.
The difference in grades is all the
more reason why farmers should get
into the big pool. Shipping direct to
The pool you are assured of exact
weight and grade and if you have
premium wheat you get the premium
that your wheat demands And the
price will be better than the average
price of the season this year, as the
pool, organized in nine states, is be-
coming a big factor in the markets.

various persons allege they have
bought the liquid joy killer. This time
he waited until he had been satisfied
that the stuff was in the building.
His first search revealed nothing but
suspicious looking glasses, empty bot
ties, ETC., with all the appearances of
neat little bar-TOOm in a rear Office
of the pool hall. However, Sheriff
Lawrence had his own idea of where
the booze was cached and he requested
Mr.. Jensen TO open the steel safe.
His request was met with the reply
that no one seemed to know the com
binatiOn and to all appearances if any
one did know they were not going to
part with the information. Lawrence
informed the gentleman in charge that
he could open it and would open it but
that the thing might need some re-
pairs when he got through. That
seemed to have no effect. so the sheriff
got busy.
An electric torch was brought into
play and the door burned in such :
way as to permit an examination o1
the contents of the safe AS expected
the booze was found.
