How the News Was Received
In Scobey

Scobey, Thursday, Sept. 1.-THE
conviction Of Berry Stephens in
Great Falls is regarded as the begin
ming of the end of the Stephens Ben
nett dynasty here. The man in the
street is saying that the charm of
the Scobey Boss is broken and that
in spite of the huge sums spent by
him on lawyers and in paying the ex-
penseS of old time politicians in
fruitless efforts to bring influence to
bear on the prosecuting officials and
the court, he was sent TO jan.
DECENT ELEMENT
RELIEVED
The decent element here, and those
who have families 10 bring up were
much relieved when they heard that
all efforts to Sidetrack the case
against the Scobey boss ended in
failure. They are now hopeful that
the "BHcket of Blood the famous
resort that run wide open within gu0-
shot of the Sheriff's Office and less
than Il E'6ck from where County At
tOrney Nyquist spends his days, will
be closed and the bal edor of having
the politics of the county dominated
by saloon keeper removed. Sheriff
Lawrence, who has worn a path from
the court house to the Office of Bill
Stephens since Berry left here. has
not been seen in public since United
States District Attorney Silver de-
livered his now famous condemnation
of the awful conditions in Scobey. II

give the matter their best considera-

cOntended, a great educational asset
to the county.
The Commissioners decided to think
the matter over until the next meet

yer and asked him if there was a pre-
viOus conviction against Stephens in
the Federal Court. Mr.. Silver said
no, but that Stephens was a persist
ent law violator and had many cases
against him in the state courts.
The Judge then ordered Stephens
confined in the Cascade County Jail
for forty days and imposed a fine of
$4,000 against him Or this count.
mo RESPECT FOR
LAW IN SCOBEY,"
SAYS SILVER
In reviewing the case United States
District Attorney Silver besides re-
= ferring to Stephens as a persistent
law violator stated that, he ran a
place in Scobey fitted up like a sa-
loon in the old days. It was so no
tOrious that it attracted state wide
attention and it became necessary to
send in Federal agents to raid it at
different times. In Dudley's case, the
government had learned that the
Dudley who was a partner of Steph-
e1s was John Dudley and not Harold
Dudley, the defendant. The latter was
found at the place when it was raid
ed and was in charge of Agent Speer
Parsons and two other Federal men.
in one raid he stated the Federal
men seized $50 pints of Canadian
beer and a large quantity of whiskey
and mOonshine. Dudley escaped a
joint sentence but was fined $4,000.
SCATHING
INDICTMENT
In an address District Attorney Sill
yer scored the law enforcement Off
Gals in Daniels county, declaring
that in Scobey there seemed to be
little respect for any law and for the
Prohibition law In particular Peo-
pie in court stated afterwards that
they had never heard such q scathing
criticism of the laMty of County Of
ficials in enforcing the law. But for
their respect for Judge Pray they
would have applauded Mr.. Silver's
measured condemnation of conditions
at Scobey.
Stephens was given a stay of exc
cution until the abatement case
against his place comes up and will
not start sentence in the Jail before
October 1st.

guests and others who were attracted
to the scene by the shots and groans,
found "Peg" Norby stretched in the
center of the street, with a large hole
in his side from which blood pushed
freely and formed a red pool about
his torso. No one was in sight but
two hats were laying in the street a
short distance away.
''HE GOT Me"
DR.. c. ]. Munich was summoned
and the man was carried into the no
tel where treatment was administer
ed.
Norby repeated several times be-
fore he died, "He got me-"
Upon being questioned as to who
had shot him he replied, "Pete Cour-
chene."
He was unable to give further de-
tails of the affair.
Pete Courchene gave himself up to
authorities early Saturday morning
and "A revolver was turned over
to the deputy sheriff by Pete's broth
er, Dan COurchene, who said: "This
is the gun that did the shooting"
Pete COurchene's story of the af-
fair, which was told to the deputy
sheriff, is that both he and Norby had
left the New Evans hotel and were
walking up the street when Norby in
sisted that Pete open up his brothers
soft drink parlor. Pete refused. he
says, whereupOn Norby attempted to
force him to do so, striking Pete CIV
er the head and engaging in a fight,
during which both men fell to the
street and gun was produced by
Pete. In the scuffle Pete saws he
discharged the gun three times, the
last bullet striking Norby on the left
side between the lungs and the upper
abdomen.
Courchene then freed himself from
Norby, according to his story, and
ran up the street, expecting Norby to
follow, not knowing that he was fat
ally wounded.
COurchene ran home and informed
his brother of the affair, fully expect
ing Norby to follow and renew his at
tacks and it was not until later in
the morning that he found that Nor
by had died, whereupon he gave him
self up to authorities.
The corcner's jury after a four
hours session, brought in a verdict at
500 o'clock Saturday afternoon that
Norby was killed as the result of a
gun shot wound and voiced the opin-
ion that it was inflicted at the hands

The engine crew on a westbound

form lying on the north side of the
track about 900 Sunday morning and
threw off a note at the station that
something resembling the body of a
man was lying close to the track.

found the body. An inspection of
the corpse revealed a post card adj
dressed to Harry Lug, care of the

dressed in blue serge suit with COW
