DANIELS COUNTY SHERIFF PULLS
ANOTHER KATZENJAMNlER STUNT
Goes 10 Dance and Gets Entanged With Fadness Who Gives
Him Some Love Taps-Runs Away and Is Now Weighted
Down With Artillery.

The latest katzeniammer stunt Of
the Scobey sheriff has caused con-
siderable amusement IN the Daniels
county capital Becoming tired OF
listening to the orders of Barry
Stephens, republican boss of Daniels
county, the doughty sheriff rode cut
to a community hall 16 miles from
Scobey where a dance was being held.
He listened to the sweet strains Of
the music and seemed to enjoy the
rhvthmic movements Of the dancers
for some time. Then a change was
seen to come over the face of the
nervous Mr.. Lawrenc. He STROBE out
into the night and was seen to assume
the attitude Of Sherlock Holmes when
he is about to unravel a particularly
complicated mystery.
Trouble Starts
Soon a little man was seen to ap-
proach with a bottle continuing amber
hued LIQUOR. The doughty sheriff
sprang from his lair like a bengal
tiger at a mouse. But ne did not eat
the mouse in this case. The little man
hit the limb of the law with left
uppecut. The honorable law officer
reclined on the soft grass fer awhile
When he got up again the disrespect-
full Mr.. Fardness poked his closed fist
into Mr.. Lawrence's belly after which
he again stretched on the ground like
a Mexican taking his afternoon siesta
When he rose again he is alleged to
have started a foot race Tor his cal

his car he hollered back that he WoulC

Bent Over From Artillery Load
1t is said that in order to facilitate
things for the Scobey sheriff, Fadnes
went to Scobey and walked the street
for several hours the following day
Mr.. Law1nce did not suvn 20 be mucl
in evidence when the angry little MAJ
was locking for him.
The latest report from the frontie

approximately so miles.
1t is stated that the proposed eX-
tension will serve an area of about
2. 200 square miles that has no rail-

Northern existing lines. This area is
described as rolling prairie, well wat

the best lands in Montana, and the
rest suitable for grazing. 1t appears
that all this land was used for graz
ing until about Is years age when the
farmers began to move into it, and
now has about One-fOurth OF the land
