OUTLOOK CHRISTMAS
PAGEANT

The pupils Of the Outlook Grade
school will present the pageant, "The
Gifts We Bring" on December %.
at 8:15 o'clock at Stiver's hall. At
ter the pageant a dance will be given.
The pageant opens with a prologue
which represents Father Time weav-
ing the Christmas story down thru
the ages.
The first episode shows the mother
and children decorating the tree. The,
mother tells the Christmas story to
the children. She then puts them to
bed to dream of Santa's visit.
A Christmas is heard in the dis
tance and soon the Christmas fairy
dances in. At her touch, the tree
lights, the children awake and the
cream continues. The Christmas
fairy summons the Fairies of Love,
Peace and Good Will. Then Santa
is called, and he comes attended by
Jack Frost and the Fairies of Plav
and Joyfulness. Santa tells the
Christmas fairy to "bring all the toys
from out the shop" The Christmas
fairy then brings in these groups,
each of whom are cleverly costumed
and to a characteristic dance for the
children: The Snow Birds, Th e
Christmas Bells, The Tinsel Fairies,
The Dolls, The Jumping Jacks, The
Candles, The Automatic Toys, The
Stick Candy, The Colored Balls, The
Flower Fairies and The Holly.
The children watch all this dream
with amazement and great joy.
Next morning when mother comes
to wish the children a Merry Christ
mas, they tell her of the wonderful
dream and ask her Of the dream can
not come true, so that they may have
all the gifts, not for themselves, but
to send to the children overseas. The

SHERIDAN COUNTY ATTORNEY

Hopeful Clues.

Plentywood, Sat-, Dec. II (AP)-
Though there still are some clues to
be run down before the first phase
of the search for the Sheridan coun-
ty treasury. robbery of November 30,
can be completed there is nothing in
prospect, all officials. agree, which
Indicates an immediate. solution.
"The underworld here" County At
torney Erickson says, "can't help US
any and for that reason we are con-
vinced it was not a local job while
Sheriff Salisbury and l are helping
the attorney general and bonding
companies men as much as possible
we are also working on some other
leads which we hope will develop
some definite information"
Total Loss Is Fixed.
Auditors from the state examiners
office and for the bonding company
yesterday fixed the loss at S45,651 in
cash and a $500 liberty bond and
county securities which bring the to-
tai to $98,21941 covered by S155,OOO
insurance. Treasurer TOrstenson said
the robbers also took $500 in cash
$4,000 in unendorsed checks and
$1,000 in county bonds which indi-
viduals had placed in his vault for
safe keeping. Payment on the checks
has been stopped. He reiterated his
statement that while the amount of
cash was temporarily large during
the last month the county would
have paid out more than 100000
which would have absorbed all the
cash. Twenty thousand was due in
state taxes, $4,000 in interest on
county bonds and warrants and be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 would have
been paid out in redemption of coun-
ty and school district warrants and
in addition the county's payroll was
custOmarily paid in cash. For many
years the county has carried bur
glary insurance.
He explained the amount has de-
pended on the amount of valuables
on hand. One policy he explained,

of the robbery while the new policy
went into effect on November 8. The
county had as much as $4,000 in
surance on its treasury two years ago
he said. Neither does the practice
of carrying large amounts of cash
appear to be an unusual one.
A few years ago an unusually
large amount of cash on hand just at
tax paying time caused Deputy Ex-
aminer Williamson to insist on it's
deposit in the banks. While the
county has new barrel safe of lat
est model, the vault is of no particu-
lar strength.
The office of the clerk and re-
corder Immediately adjoins that of
the treasurer, but it is in a separate
building with a connection through
sheltered doorway into the treasur-
er's work room.
Beside the door are windows oppo-
site each other in each room, one
theory held is that the robbers wait
ed in the office of the clerk and re-
corder watching through the windows
until they saw the treasurer getting
ready to close then stepped into the
hallway and into the treasurer's Of

still in the speculative stage and the
only definite action has resulted in
