SAYS THAT COUNTY
WILL GET HALF MILLION

Sheridan county has 81 miles of
Federal Aid highway, none of which
has been built. If Initiative Coed
Roads Bill Number 81 is carried at
the general elections on November 2.
these 81 miles will be constructed by
the state within 10 years with revenue
derived from the proposed One-cent
increase in the present gasoline tax,
plus ederal Aid appropriations due
Montana. The road would be main
tanned by the state from the time OF
completion.
This information was received by
the Producers News, in a statement
from the Montana Automobile AssO-
cition, which is carrying on an educa-
tional campaign in favor of the meas
ure.
The value of the work to be done
in Sheridan county would apprc0i-
mate S5OO,OOO according to the esti-
mate. This would include road, brid-
ges. and maintenance. The county
could lose nothing but its share in
the equal division of the revenue
from the present gasoline tax, which
last year amounted to S5,O84.
While the work on the county 5
Federal road was being done by the
state, the county would, under the
provisions of the bill, retain its mcr
] tor license fees, which, with its reg
/ ular road levies, could be used to
build and maintain farmers lateral
feeder, and intermediate roads.
It is estimated that the additiona
one-cent gas tax would amount tC
about $3.50 for the average car own
er. allowing him 5000 miles a yeal
at Is miles to the gallon. He woulc
at the same time save at least 81
a wear in decreased gas consumption
tire wear, and fewer repair bills.
Montana has 47OO miles of Fedora
highway, linking every county sea
in the the state. Five hundred mile
aore in forest reserves, 100 miles ar
completed, and 31OO miles yet unfin
ished would be built under Bill 81.

WELL KNOWN ND.
I FARMER DIES
Julian Hass Dies After Being Seri-
Ously Injured in Automobile Acct
dent-BrOthers Well Known Sheri-
dan County People.

Crosby, N. D.-Julius Hass, Troy
township farmer, died August Both,
from fatal injuries received Sunday
evening when the automobile in which
he and H. HalvOrson, a neighbOf,
were returning to their homes from
Crosby after attending to business
matters, overturned on a corner just
off the state highway, about three
miles west of this city. Mr.. Halvor-
son escaped with but slight injur-
les.
Both men were pinned under the
automobile when it overturned and
were found within a short time by
passing motorists who righted the
machine and brought the men to this
city for medical attention. The doc
tors examination revealed that Mr..
Hass was suffering from a fracture
of the backbone and from other seri-
Gus injuries, while Mr.. Halvorson's
injuries were but slight.
Obituary
Julius Hass was born on the 25th
day of January, 1871 in Germany and
died Monday, August Both, at the age
of 55 years, seven months and five
days, from a fracture of the back anC
other serious injuries received in al
automobile accident, Sunday evening
August 29th, 1926.
Mr.. Hass came to America in 189l
and settled at Wheaton, Mimi, where
he was later married. In 1902 th'
family moved to Mohall, this state
where they took a homestead. Il
1907 they moved to Canada wher,
they resided until 1923, when the.
came to the Crosby country.

ment.

Ott1ce.,
Riding to victory in the Republi-
can gubematOrial race on a wave of
big majority rolled up in both ur-
ban and rural districts, is Fred R.
Zimmerman, secretary of state, who
apparently has defeated Attorney
General Herman l.. Ekern and two
others. Ekern was indorsed by Gov
ernor Blaine and Robert M. LaFol-
lette, Jr., Wisconsin United States
senator.
Zimmerman's victory appears to in
dicate the only probable defeat of the
LaFcllette-BlaineEkern ticket, whose
candidates are far in the lead for the
nomination for four other state Of
fees. Progressive Republican con-
gressmen running for reelection
forged ahead on early returns, with
the exception of Representative J. D.
Beck of the seventh district, who
trailed Merlin F. Hull, former secre-
tary of state, and another progress
sive, by a small margin.
Returns up until midnight indicat-
ed a neck and neck race between Sen
ator Lenroot and Governor Blaine
with the senator enjoying a slight
lead. Blaine was pushed ahead by
the votes Of Milwaukee county, which
he carried in his three successful
campaigns for governor, and picked
up additional votes in various sec
tions of the state.
Contrasted with the Blaine
fight, was the phenomenal showin9
| of Zimmerman, who appeared unaf
fected by local sentiment towards th'
| senatorial race. The secretary O.
state ran ahead in both LenrcOt AM
Blaine strongholds.
The Republican senatorial and CUB
ernatorial contests held the center o
interest in the primary. Only m1no

we'll known Sheridan County farmers
whose names became nationally
known when Oscar Collins made an
affidavit stating that, when he at
tempted to grab the Granrud farm
for the New Ulm bank, they forced
him 20 drink a "Vile, noxious medi-
cine, to-wit castor Oil" and injected
same into his system against his will
and without his consent" The case
attracted lot of attention at the
time and while injunctions and writs
of assistance were flying thick and
fast the people of the countryside
came to the rescue of Granrud and
harvested his crop while $50 women
waited with bottles of castor oil for
the crop grabbers, who did not dare
to show their faces.

EXPLOSION OF
WESTBY MANS GUN
ATTRACTS CROWD

The Ford sedan of a WestbY man
named Woodruff attracted a lot of
attention on the streets of Plenty
wood last Tuesday evening when an
explosion had occurred from within.
When a large crowd gathered they
found the Game warden Investigating
and seizing a shotgun and q large
quantity of ammunition. The county
attorney also came along and found
an automatic pistol in the automobile,
which resembled an armOred car
judging from the quantities of am
munition and firearms that were
strewn on the floor of the machine.
On investigation it was discovered
that the shotgun went off" shooting
hole in the dashboard and out
through the hood. It is said that
Woodruff loaded the gun few min
utes earlier because of an assault
made on him by one Duffy, who had
imbibed too much hooch in GrenOra
the North Dakota town that is dis
tinguished by the residents therein
of Editor Paul Paulson, a scribe of
international proclivities. Friends
took the gun away from Woodruff
and laid it away in the car. 1t ex-
ploded soon afterwards with the re-
