BERRY STEPHENS
PLEADS GUILTY

ment As Prescribed By Law to

Scobey Sentinel: Berry Stephens
plead guilty to "bootlegging" before
the City Police Court, and fined S100
and costs, which he paid.
Paul BabcOck of PlentywoCd ap
peared for Stephens and County At
torney Nyquist appeared for the city
last Monday.
Two Canadian farmers by name Of
-Chartrand and Lace, came over in
their wagons from Canada to get
some lumber and brought several bar
rels of beer, which they proceeded to
deliver to Berry Stephens. This took
place in November, 1922. Informa-
tion of this reached Custom Officer
Bailey, of Scobey, and Sheriff Lawr-
ence. then city police of ScObey. They
both got busy on the job and found
six barrels of beer-good Canadian
/ beer-in Berry Stephens possession
This was shipped to Great Falls II
/ care of the Federal Department, anC
it was understood that the Federal
authorities were to prosecute the
case, but they informed Attorney
! Nyquist that they were too crowded
with cases and Federal AttOrne!
Slattery turned the case over to Dan
iels county. When the case was Sc
for trial Attorney Babcock appeared
for Stephens and asked for chang
of venue. Then Attorney Nyquis
filed suit in the City court of Scobe,
under the City Ordinance,
The two Canadian farmers wer

WrestIers VIII Finally Meet to Settle Supremacy on the Mat
In Plentywood At Orpheum Theatre-GOOd News
Spreads Rapidly and Ring Side Tickets Rapidly Dis
appearing.
HOUSE And MOE ARE NOW IN PLENTYWOOD
City Police and Sheris Force VIII Cooperate Handle
Huge Crowd Which Is Expected to Attend the Super
human Struggle Between Ancient Rivals.
AT The ORPEIEUM TOMORROW NIGHT, FEB. 9

At last the wrestling fans and fol-
lowers of ElwOOd House and Nels
Moe will have an. opportunity to see =
their favorites in action together in
a titanic struggle on the mat.
To say that this match viii be a
real herman struggle is putting it
mild. The antagonism of the two
wrestlers dates back to several years
ago when Nels Moe was a more or
less of a green wrestler and was
thrown by House. Since that time,
Moe has been in training and has
developed into a finished product of
the mat. For the past three years
/ Moe has been meeting them all in
Canada and has won his way to the
! light weight championship of that
vast domain. He has not forgotten
Ibis defeat by House of several years
ago and is coming back to show the
fans that he is a better man than
House and that when he was thrown
before, it was only because of lack
of knowledge of the game and not
being in condition.
Elwood House is too well known to
need any introduction to the wrestt-
ing fans Of Sheridan county He has
!; the reputation of cleaning up on any
thing of his weight in this part of
the woods. At Outlook, the home of
House, his friends are backing him
to the limit and they are coming over
? 500 strong to cheer their champion
! cn to victory and place their money
if they can find takers.
Both men are in superb condition
and are conditioned to Withstand the
gruelling match which is sure to
occur. Each backer of these two we'll
known mat artists swears that his
man is going to throw the other be-
fore he knows it, but the wise ones
7 are not so sure and are preparing to
see one of the widest matches even
