Many citizens of Scobey feel that
the time has come for the Attorney
General to act in Daniels County
Sheriff Lawrence has been a pretty
tame sheriff since a couple of years
ago when Barry Stephens stuck a gun
against his belly and spit in his face,
while he and Nyquist were raiding
Barry's place. Since that time,
Lawrence has not bothered Barry,
though he raids lonely moonshiners
who have not friends nor enough
stamina to spit in his face.
Burley Bowler, the Canadian citi-
zen, the noted Scobey gambler, news
paper man, publicity man for the
Bennett Stevens crowd, is doing his
best to whitewash the Scobey situa-
tions, and justify the terrible condi-
, tions existing in that town, but ev-
erybody at Scobey feels that some
thing must be done there at once to
cut short the reign of murder anC
terror at Scobey, if that village Is

Wildwood Park Bottling Works Own
ed BY Harry DeSilva Has Fine
Equipment-Buys ScObey Plant.

One of the infant industries in
Plentywood with which tine general
public is not familiar is the Wildwood
Park Bottling Works which is owned
and operated by Harry De Silva.
The plant has been under construc-
ton since spring and has now reach
ed the stage where it can manufac-
tUre 100 cases of pop a day.
The machinery for making the diff
ferent brand of SOFT drinks is right
up-to-date and NJ. DeSilva only re-
Gently added to his equipment, the
machinery belonging to the plant
which was to have been installed at
Scobey this spring, thus giving him
opportunity to turn out a maximum
quantity of the different beverages
each day.
The Wildwood Park Bottling Works
expects to supply the Great Northern
branch line and the SEQ line with soft
drinks almost to an entirety. Mr..
DeSilva states that he can turn out
as good a product as the best on the
market and that he intends to deliver
by truck to Raymond, where it will be
delivered along the 500 line by train.
The Wildwood Park Bottling Works
viii no doubt receive the full patron
age of the buying public in this part
of Montana and it is safe to say that
Mr.. DeSilva viii have his large plant
working to capacity the greater share

"HELL BREAKS LOOSE"
AGAIN AT SCOBEY
CONTINUED from Page One)

Sheridan county for assault with in
tent to kill two or three years ago
for shooting a half breed Indian af-
ter a gambling brawl at Dooley, and
leaving him in the weels as dc td. AT
the proper moment in the trial, Pete
Stewart came forward and testified
that he had shot the Indian in self
defense. Judge Conner took the case
away from the jury and dismissed it..
The Indian though shot through the
lungs and head, got well and was able
to be about in six weeks.
SCOBEY
MUM
A Poducers News reporter made
every effort to get the real dope of
the Monday morning shooting affair,
but it seems that everybody there
was mum. One person said that
Barry shot at a man but did not hit
him: another said Barry shot in the
ground another that he shot i'm the
air-bUt that he did not hit or hunt
anyone. Just why Barry fed the
town and why he was arrested cn q
warrant charging him with End de.
gree assault, and putting him under
a bond i'm the sum of $4,000, while
the others in the brawl were let out
on 5000 bail, is not explained, Sc
the story saying that Barry shot of
a mans nose seems to be the logica
one.

SCOBEY A
WILD TOWN


Sid Bennett-Bill Stephens crowd last
election, resulting i'm the reelection
of Nyquist and Lawrence, as County
Attorney and Sheriff, and the run
ming wild of the town since. The
Bennett-Stevens outfit threw the I'M
derwOrld vote behind NyqUist and
Lawrence, and Nyquist, a Sunday
school teacher, was able to line up
the church vote. The Methodist min
lister and Barry Stephens became SUCH
friends, that Barry sent him fine,
fat, juicy goose for Thanksgiving
dinner, after which the preacher often
spoke a good word for Barry.
Nyquist and Lawrence have pulled
off several raids at Scobey but the
Stephens crowd has never been hurt
they have not even been brought
before the court yet, and it is not
likely that they will.
1t is reported that since the Ny
st-Lawrence-St Stevens Bennett Goa
litions, that Messrs. Nyquist and
Lawrence have opened sizable bank
accounts at the Froid bank, deposit
ing their money with Sen. Schnitzler
because Of the sOundness of his bank.
MURDER MYSTERY
STILL UNSOLVED.
The cold-blooded murder of Carl
Siegert at Scobey is still a mystery
and will probably always remain one,
if the activities of the Daniels com-
ty authorities are to solve it. Carl
Siegert is said to have been murdered

room for several days and then haul
ed to the Poplar river and thrown
into it, being found several days lat
er by school teachers who were out
for a walk.
The. remains of Siegert were re-
covered bCt no real effort ever was
made to bring the murderer to JUS
tice. In fact most people believe that
both the County Attorney and Sheriff
Of Daniels county know exactly who
foully murdered Carl Siegert and
could put their hands onto the muir
derer if they wanted to or they dared
to.
1t is also believed that BurIey Bow
Ter, who is kicking up a lot of dust
is also quite ccnversant with the Sc
crets concerning the murder of Sic
CERT. It is told as a fact that a man
rooming in a hotel across the alley
from Barry Stephens resort, heard
the shot that snuffed the life out Of
Carl Siegert.
It is not likely that anything vii
ever be done to bring the murderer oil
Siegert to justice unless a grand jury
be called by Judge Paul and a spe
cial prosecutor be appointed.
1t is also rumored that an unknown
man was murdered at Scobey last fal
and the body hauled out into the hill
and buried in the dead OF night

Britain Denies French
Agreement Planned to
Embarass u. S. on Debt
By HARRY FT0RY
By HARRY FLORY
Tnternational News Seryice


LONDON, Aug. 2S.-Great Britain
= annoyed by limitations from the
United States that American
opinion tends to the belief that the
British debt offer TO France was
made with the purpose of forcing
the hand Of the United States in
its debt negotiations with France.
The British foreign office today
made a sharp statement, denying
that It was the intention of Britain
to cause any embarrassment to the
United Statse by offering France
better terms than it is supposed
the United States will offer.
There is no intention on the part
OF anyone to put the United States in
a hole" said the foreign office
statement.
eff the United States is dissatis-
fed she should have protested when
the British policy of debt collection
was first laid down by the Baifour
note.
.'If the United States makes bet
ter terms with France, il will be all
the better for Great Britain"
The latter part of the statement
was not amplified, but it is appar-
ent that the British government
viii not place any obstacles in the
way OF the United States giving
France better terms than have been
given to Great Britain. In view of
the foregoing statement iteis reason
able TO except, however. that in the
event of such concessions the Brit
ish government may delicately init
mate to the United States that a
revision of the British terms would
be in order.
Certainly II is not denied in any
quarter here that a settlement Of
the French debt to the United
States would hasten the settlement
Of the French debt to Great Britain,
as Winston Churchill, chancellor Of
the exehequer, has never given
France a chance to forget that
Britain will demand proportionate
payments to any payments made to
the United States.
The revival of discussion of the
Balfour note by the foreign office
statement caused a ripple of smiles
in diplomatic circles here, as this
note has long been the trump card
for the British whenever defending
themselves against American criti-
cism. The Balfour note laid down
the policy that Britain would not
attempt TO collect more of the debts
owing her than necessary to pay
the debts she owed, and was gen.
orally considered as delicate invi-
tation to the United States to. scale
down its demands. The wording Of
the note brought considerable re-
sentiment from the United States
and led to a long controversy be-
tween Lord Balfour and the then
Ambassador George Harvey.

SELMA, Ala, Aug. 28.-Percy
Dawson, fifty-five, sheriff of Dallas
county, and Dean Weaver, forty
five, wealthy farmer, were dead
today following a gun duel on the
Weaver farm near here late yester-

himself killed by a bullet from the
gun of a sheriff's deputy.
The sheriff, accompanied by three
deputies, had gone to the Weaver
farm in an effort to settle a con.
troversy growing out of Weaver's
refusal to allow the construction
of a transmission line across his
property by power company.
Weaver, armed with a rifle, met
the officers at his door, and, &C.
c0rdsng to the deputy sheriffs, fired
on Sheriff Dawson without warn
ing. The sheriff was unarmed, they
declared. Deputy Sheriff Hugh
Sinclair, standing nearest his fallen
chief, then opened fire and killed

MIND BLANK 8
YEARS FROM
AN|NES|A
Man in New Orleans Waiting
For Wife He Cannot
Remember
By InternatIonaI News Service

NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. 3d.
Lawrence O'Keefe, amnesia victim
was waiting here today for word
from his wife in Austin. Mimi, the
wife he says he cannot remember.
From st. Paul came news dis.
patches saying Mrs. O'Keefe was
endeavoring to secure a loan suffi-
cient to pay her expenses to New
Orleans and those Of herself and
husband back to Minnesota, and
that. she hoped to start south Fri.
day, arriving here Monday.
O'Keefe says his mind was a
blank from 1920 until July of this
year. When questioned by re-
porters, his mind still seemed to be
blank. He remembered some Incl
dents in his past life, but had only
hazy recollections of them.
II have no wife" he said. II did
marry just before the war, but
have no wife now"
O'Keefe admitted, however, to
Salvation Army officials that he
didn't remember what became OF
the wife he married before he went
to war.
