NEW BOILER IN
COURT HOUSE

The County Commissioners are put
ting in a new boiler to take the place
of the old boiler which has proven
to be too small, at the court house
heating plant. Mesrs. Wolf and Olson
have been busy all week eXcavatjng
rhe basement and entry ia order to
get the new boiler into where it can
be connected up with the pipes. The
new boiler was purchased from At
torney VolIum for the sum Of $30.00
It is the boiler brought into this coun-
try by the old Sheridan County Oil
and Mostly Gas Company which start
ed to drill we'll on the Archer road
a number of years ago and which was
bought in by Attorney Vollum at
Sheriff Sale on execution on a claim
which he had against the defunct COM
pany. The boiler is ample in size,
will more than heat the court house
and adjoining buildings and was ac-
quire at a bargain. 1t is expected to
get the new boiler in place during the
coming week.

RADYIL.L.IE Wins AGAIN
FROM DOOLEY

A very exciting and close game was
played at Dooley last Sunday be-
tween the Radville, Canada, team and
DOOley, when the Canadian team won
by q score Of to 2.
The game was a thrilling one from
start to finish and it was not until
the eighth inning that Radville forged
ahead, when they made two scores on
errors. In the nineth they made the
game secure by adding another score,
The DOOley team played stellar ball
up to the eighth inning and held the
visitors down easily. The two errors
in the eighth were quickly taken adj
vantage of by the Canadian ball toss
ers and spelled defeat for the Dooley-
ties.
Although the Dooley boys have suf-
fered several defeats this season, the
games all end with a very close score
and also few runs cross the plate.
Tt will be noticed that whatever games
are played by the Dooley team wins
or loses, very few scores are made by
the opposing team. The games are
generally so close that a little stroke
of hard luck is what causes the de
feat of the fast DOoley players.
Never mind the defeats, with a
team losing by one or two scores, the
tide will turn and it will be the one
to fall fortune to the lucky breaks.

INSTITUTION CLOSED


WILLISTON, June 15.-Tbe Will
Jams County State Bank. one Of the
largest banks in this section of the
state, was closed last Tuesday bv ac-
ton OF The board of directors. The
sign appearing upon the tellers win
dow tuesday morning stated that the
bank was closed by order of the
board and the reason given was de-
pleted reserves. Many business men
IN Wiiliston will lose heavily, in case
the bank is not reopened, and deposits
ranging from one dollar to thousands
are frozen for some time unless the
directors are able to bring raora cant
tai into the bank and continue bust
ness.
Mr.. A. r. Reep, state bank exam
iner, arrived here yesterday morning
to check up the affairs Of the bank. Il
IS reported that t he footings amount
to 91,200,000 and the deposits ia the
institution amounted to $700,000. L.
J. ROdman is president of the defunct
bank and the directors are A. A. Brad
ley, I. j ROdman, B j. SchOregge. F.
J. Wilkinson, A r. Veitch, C. D. Mil
10y, O. J. Holland, L. c. Wingate.
Perhaps the heaviest depOsitor of
the closed bank was Williams county.
According to q statement issued bv
the county treasurer, the balance of
county funds on deposit in the bank
on April 80 was S1O8,695.46 ON de-.
mand and $4,000 on time deposit
making a total of $132, ,695.46. Coun-
ty treasurer Swimley is unable to de-
Termlne the exact balance in the hank
at this time as a number of checks
are outstanding and a check-up has
not been made with the closed institu-
ton. He stated that it would be less
than the above figures.

LAWRENCE CASE CALLED
AT GLASGOW TODAY

The case brought against Sheriff
Lawrence by a rowdy at Scobey whom
Sheriff Lawrence arrested for disturb
ing the peace while Lawrence was
Chief of Police at Scobey last year,
and who got hurt by Lawrence while
resisting arrest charging the former
Chief of Police with criminal assault,
will be called in Glasgow today where
the case was taken on a change of
venue from Daniels county.
It seems that the complaining wit
ness was filled up with booze and sent
by some of the wild spirits of Scobey
to get Lawrence, but the big fellow
got it in the neck, and then he was in
spired to bring charges against the
officer whom he set out to show up as
"Yellow" as he termed it. A number
of witnesses were called by both par
ties, and have left Scobey for Glasgow

PL.ENT'YWOOD DIVIDES
TWO GAMES With BIG
END TOWN B. B. TEAM

Last Saturday and Sunday, the
PIentywOOd ball team jouneyed to
ScObey where they played two games,
winning the first by a score Of IL to
4, and losing the second game by
score of 10 to 9.
The Saturday game was Plenty
woods game all the way through, Lef-
ty being master of the situation at
all times, holding the Scobeyites score
less until the 8th inning, when he
eased up, allowing four runs to regis
ter.
Sundays game was q regular swat
fest, both teams sWatting the ball in
grand style, and the game was much
more interesting than the score of 10
to would indicate.
SieffeTt pitched the second game
for Plentywood, but did not receive
the support he had a right to expect.
The two games at SCObey were mar
red from the standpoint Of good base
ball by numerous errors on the part
of both teams, as the score plainly in
dicates.
The Plentywood fans motOzed to
Scobey in a huge body and the dele
cation from this city was nearly the
same size as that representing Scobey
at their own ball park. It Is this
kind Of support that wins ball games,
and the boys should appreciate this
support by giving their best brand of
ball in every game.
For some reason or other the boys
seem to have gotten into rus and
errors are all too common. Players
that last wear. T1evp7- bObhlo6 O boU tbic
year seem to be mufing some very
easy ones.
The fans are loyal rooters and stick
with the team through thick and thin
and they are patiently waiting for
that old fighting spirit to rise which
grabbed off the ball. felded it clean
and won ball games by the goose egg
route OF at least by low scores.
Come on, let's go. We knew you
can do it.

Everybody Enjoys Dance and

The Auction Sale for the benefit of
the Sheridan County Memorial Hos

attended by a goodly crowd. The

the afternoon and a large number of
people attended the dinner given bv
the Ladies Hospital Club in the Pol
ster Block. At four o'clock the picture.
"Grandma's Bay" was put on the
screen as it was again in the evening,
after which the dance commenced
Quite a number attended the dance
The music was furnished by Whites
Orchestra. The ladies realized S125
from the auction sale and netted S165
as a result of the dinner. There were
no proceeds from the dG3e and picture
show after the royalty for the reel
and the cost of the hall and music
had been paid for. This was a sur
prise to the public as it was generally
understood that the theatre, and mus
ic had been donated to this laudable
charity-in fact it was understood
ed except the royalty on the picture
that everything used was to be donat-
hut it seems that this idea was a mis-
take.
