door in double quick time and sought
the protection of the nearest police
men. After this occurrence news of
the attempted frameup spread like
wildfire and there was a big demand
for the report Of the Farmers Coun-
ell Action. As Grand Juries seldom
refuse to return indictments the news
that no such instrument could not be
obtained was well received in town.
Prays Action Dampens Gang ArdOr
The quashing of all charges filed
by Prohibition Stoolpigeons against
the Sheridan County Officials, by
Judge Pray at Great Falls, last week,
had a SOLDERING effect on the enemies
of the Farmer-Labor party through
out the state. 1t was fondly hoped
that the smearing Of prominent pro-
pOnents Of organization amongst the
farmers with a criminal charge, would
have the effect of checking the orga-
niZatiOn, started here, from spreading
to other counties
How Govt. Dept. Was Used
Tc this end powerful arm of the
law, the prohibition department was
used for the purpose of carrying out
the dastardly plot, Matched by shyster
politicians. to fake up some charge
official integrity Of county officers
elected by the farmers. To carry out
this end the discredited and discarded
local tag rag and bobtail of republi-
can politics allied with interests in
Scobey that the Producers News had
whipped during the past eight months
were used to do the dirty work while
stoolpigeons loaned specially for the
nefarious purpose were endeavoring
to manufacture evidence to suit their
employers.
Sewer Sheet Spreads Lies
A Scobey underworld organ, in de-
fiance of the postal regulations of
the U. S. Postal Department, was
filled with the vilest and most filthy
lies against the County officers, the
Producers News and the citizens Of
Plentywood, and broadcasted over the
county. An investigation of is now
under way, as to the sources from
which money used for publication of
extra copies cf this scandal sheet and
who was responsible for allowing the
mailing privileges to be strained so
that the homes of decent citizens Of
Sheridan county could be violated by
the entrance of this rag containing
the mental execreta Of a sewer-like
imagination.
Lang Carries Brand
AS at the beginning the cases
against Brown and Lang still stand
and these two stools will have to
stand trial on a felony charge soon
Lang is referred to in all the state
papers as a Prohibition Agent. He
has now lost caste with all MS form
er associates because Of the manner
in which he gave the Judas kiss to
his liquor selling friends. His former
mainstreet CTonies have less respect
Tor the fiivver peddler with a die hard
grudge than they have for Judas Is
CARROT, They say that Iscariot went
out and hanged himself after he gave
the stoOlpigeons kiss but that Lang
doesn't know enough to initiate the
example of his Biblical ancestor.
Marsters Attacks Editors.
Shortly after Brown was arrested,
Admiral Marsters flew into a violent
rage attacking all editors and the
editor of the Producers News in par
ticular.
At dinner Of the Kiwanis Club at
Helena, the Admiral made a vitrolic
attack on p j. Wallace and Rodney
Salisbury. The former horse trader
from the Snake river valley frothed
at the mouth and declared that he
had sent more sheriffs to jail in Ida
no than anybody else that ever came
down the pike. He was So excited
that he overstepped the. boundaries
! of reason and made some statements
that may get him in trouble later on
The Admiral knows that fighting the
"reds" in Sheridan County is a more
exciting occupation than going on "a
party" with the Rev. Wade or raid.
