Burglars Visit
Two Local Firms
Break In At Shaffer's and Redwater
Hardware Sunday Morping.

Some time early Sunday morning
burglars broke through a window in
the rear of the Shaffer Pool Hall and
cleaned the cash register OF about
$500 in change. They also stole
about $4,000 worth of barber supplies
taking some of the best razors and
equipment Mr. Shaffer had,
When Mr. Stoney of the Redwater
Hardware Company opened up his
place of business Monday morning
he noticed that some one had been
tampering with his cash register, but
apparently those who tried to open
it did not know how, and pressing
the wrong buttons the register had
locked itself. Mr. Stoney found that
rear window had been opened and
the burglars evidently had tried ano-
ther window first, because all the
putty had been cut away on one
window. Mr. Stoney does not think
anything was stolen at his place.
So far no suspects have been ar
rested

Wolf Point Wins
County Seat War
In Long Fight Poplar Loses BY De-
cision of Supreme Court.

On Thursday of last week while
the Stampede celebration was gett-
ing nicely started, Wolf Point re-
ceived word that it had won the
fight, and had been designated the
permanent county seat of Roosevelt
county, in place of Poplar. The
opinion affirmed a Roosevelt county
district court decree holding that
Wolf Point won the county seat at
the election in fall of 1922.
The supreme Court decision end
ed contest started more than four
years ago, when Roosevelt county
residents first ATTEMPTED to settle the
issue at the polls. At the election
in November, 1922, Wolf Point OBJ
tanned 2003 votes and Poplar 1911.
The result was contested and matter
fought out in court, the district court
reviewed the case and eliminated
ALLEGED illegal votes and returned a
verdict declaring Wolf Point had re-
ceived 1887 votes and Poplar 1890.
Poplar then alleged Irregularities
in the balloting, charging that num-
erous ballots had been cast by per-
sons who had not been residents of
the state for a year and many other
charges. On February 18th, 1924,
Judge Horkan rendered a decision
aarding the county seat to Wolf
Point, but notice of appeal to the
supreme court was made by Poplar.
together with petition for tenn
porary injunction preventing NOV
ing of the county seat until finally
decided.
The big fight is thus ended and
naturally Wolf Point folks are cheer
ng while Poplar Weeps.

when she was In Colorado. The
story now going the rounds about

Recently he was quite Ill with
some canine sickness and was taken

the Langley home. He recovered

there came a day, however, whcn
his step was slower, his bark less

the matter with "Sprinkls!" the
family agreed-but decided to wait
for further developments before
consulting a doctor.
The next morning Sprinkle could
not be found. A thorough search
was made-but still no Sprinkle

OF the dog, which is a pet of the

his door late the night before and
had scratched for entrance until
the door was opened and then had
gone beseechingly to him as a
patient seeking relief-and that he
was with him then and, as he was
getting better rapidly, he would
soon be able to return to his
suburban kennel.
1t seems too that Sprinkle had
been taken to and from the doctor

He is well again now and was at
home to receive his mistress who
returned a few. days ago from
