was in Raymond the night the elevat-
or burned and he was also in Whitehall
the night that elevator burned. The
Montana & Dakota people had reasons
to burn their elevators as they had
reason to have little green worms to
eat their books. Why have Oscar and
Jack and Ray Lang and DR.. StOrkan
confined Rodney to the Raymond ele-
vator, why have they not also ac-
cused him of burning the other ele-
vators, of burning Dolin's print shop
or the Plentywcod creamery? He had
just as much reason to burn those
buildings as he did to burn the Ray
mOnd Elevator. Mike Dunn himself
tried to hire Salisbury to go back to
work fer him buying grain after the
sO-called shortage but Rodney refused
to work for the outfit any more. Lat
er, after the huge seed grain steal
perpetrated upon the people in Sheri-
dan, Daniels and Roosevelt counties,
the Montana & Dakota people were
forced to sell their elevators and
quit this territory, and there has not
been any elevators burned since.

that Rodney is in cahoots with the
robbers who have recently broke into
some of the stores in this section of
the country. A person can hardly pick
up paper from anywhere but there
are stories of burglaries and bank
robberies from one end of the country
to the other This outfit in their
eageTness to defeat Sheriff Salisbury
should not stop too close at home.
They should also accuse him of being
the man who robbed the mail train
of ten millions in Illinois last sum-
mer. Oscar Collins is pretty well
connected up by blood and friendship
with some of the leaders of the bank
robbers and bandit gangs who are OPP
Grating in this section of the coun-
try, and he no doubt can give consid-
cradle inside information as to the
burglars operating in this vicinity,
and if the insinuatiOns have any
foundation In fact, Messrs. O'Grady,
Collins and Lang, should lay the evil
dence before the county attorney or
before Judge Conner if Erickson re-
fuses to act and have the judge call
a grand jury and appoint a special
prosecutor. Surely Judge Conner will
be glad to help his banker friends
bring Rodney to- justice if he had
been guilty Of any of the things that
the bitter enders are accusing him
of. When it was found that Ray
Lang was hooked up with the "hOt
car" gang, the evidence was laid be-
fore the department OF justice and a
was issued against Ray, when the
Producers News discovered that Jack
O'Grady was a thief, that he had
stolen S2100 of the money that he
had collected from the farmers in
payment of seed grain notes, this pa
per demanded that O'Grady, even
though his wife Bridget O'Grady had
been elected to Office three times be-
cause of its support, should be arrest
ed and tried and sent to the peniten-
tiary, where thieves like him should
be, and Jack was arrested, and the
public examiner was called who secur-
ed a confession from Jack that he
had stolen the money, and still Jack
is on the county payroll thanks to
Tyler and Ibsen and DR.. Storkan and
the Farmer has defended the
O'Gradys in season and out of sea-
son. When Bridget was caught red
handed stealing the fee money by the
examiners, the Producers News and
the Farmer-Labor party demanded
that she be removed from Office, but
thanks to a gangster judge, she is
still in Office plying her trade.
The Sheridan County Farmer has
had its columns full claiming that
Sheriff Salisbury is taking hush
money from the blindpiggers, pool
hall men, and mOonshiners. The
Farmer staff is very close to the
above people-in fact their most bos-
ON friends and patrons, and Oscar
Collins knows just how this graft is
collected, why have they net had their
friends who have paid this graft
money to Rodney confess and testify
against him, before a Grand jury
called by the best friend the bootleg
gers ever had in this territory, Judge
Conner, who could appoint 7. w. Greer
another hater of Salisbury, special
prosecutor, and have Rodney brought
to justice. We ask why don't they
do something besides whisper and in.
slnuate and print unsigned and un
owned bastard articles, so the peoplt
may see that there is something be
hind the insinuations in the way o.
facts.
