Had No "Kick."
Upon the application of County
Attorney Erickson and after lis
tening to the testimony of sever
al prominent citizens of Conner
town. Judge Paul issued an
abatement order against the pool
hall and soft drink parlOr con-
Quoted at that town by A. w.
Blank. The Sheriff served the
order and closed down the place
the same afternoon.
COMERTOWN RESIDENTS AP-
PEAR IN FORCE.
It appears that after Blank was
arrested about two weeks ago,
delegation of Comertown residents
visited the Office of the County At
tornev and asked to have the place
shut down. The county attorney
pressed them for information as to
what they knew about the place and
they finally confessed that several OF
them had taken many drinks OF
"moon' in the establishment run by
Blank. Erickson issued subpOenas
for them as witnesses with the re-
suit that they appeared before Judge
Paul and testified that they had drank
LIQUOR in and out of Blanks place
and were in a position to say, from
past experience, that it was intox1-
eating.
Robert Brockley testified that he
was in Blanks place on May 10 and
had about five rounds of moon toI
which he paid 25 cents a drink. He
stated that he saw some crapshoot-
ing on the premises also. He tesa
fed that he knew the liquor he gOt
was intoxicating because of the Ell
fects it had on him and because III
was in a position to know because
of past experience with liquor.
Liquor Was Intoxicating.
Erick Olson testified that he tool
two drinks in the place operated b.
Blank which he designated as
"blind pig" In reply to questions
he stated that both "hard" and sOt
drinks were sold on the premises. H
said Walt Carter started the plac
some time ago as a store but it enc
ed up as a "Pig."
Carl Magnuson, elevator man, ties
titled that he walked by the plaC
on the afternoon of May 18th an
saw a lot of men at the bar WI
acted as if they were intoxicate'
They were talking loud and actin
hilariously.
Postmaster Rostad of Comertow
said on the stand that his hired me-
had seen Blank sell liquor.
B. J. Schmitz, another elevat,
man, testified that he was never

Blank offered him a drink of 'Mool

H. w. Sherry stated that he a
another man went into Blanks Sc

ever, that he had been offered mo

FIGHTING CARD BEST
EVER HELD HERE
Boxing Contests at Orpheum Theatre
Saturday Night Please Packed
+ HOuse-TrOchie, Krause and Marsh
Win HOnOrs.

Before a packed house at the Or
pheum Theatre last Saturday night,
the American Legion post of this city
put on one of the biggest and best
boxing cards ever held in PlentywoOd.
From the first preliminary put on by
two small lads the air was filled with
boxing gloves flying with an energy
behind them that spelled disaster for
someone.
The main preliminary was the
ch-talked-Of bout between Baker
Nelson and Martin Marsh, which last
ed quick when Marsh slipped a left
hook under Nelson's guard, catching
him in the solar plexus. The blow,
while it did not knock Nelson out,
apparently took the wind out of his
sails and he refused to go on further
1t was a whirlwind affair while it
lasted which was a round and quar-
ter.
The next battle was between Battl-
ing Garner of Raymond and Young
Trochie of Havre. This looked in the
first round as though it would be
quickly end when TrOchie caught Gar
I ner with a wicked left and sent hin
to the mat for the count of nine. Gar
ner managed to hang on until he go
/ his bearings and fought a good figh
from then on, but Trochie had it cl
him after slipping in the first puncl
and the decision was awarded to tn
Havre boxer. The crowd greatly ad
mired the grit and nerve of Garne
who came back after everyone though
he was done for The fight went tn
full ten rounds.
The last main event was betweel
Battling Krause of Fargo and K. c
Pelchie of Havre. This battle was
good one and was greatly enjoyed b
the spectators although Krauise ha
it on his opponent, both in experienc
and hardihood, in fact Pelchie woul

Cheering ThrOngs Great Senators !
Cheering throngs greeted the Sen
atOrs who stood by the people and
who refused the bribes and fiattery of
the agents of the International Bank
ers as they stepped from the train.
All along the route to the Palmer
house where Senator Reed spoke the
streets were lined with people. The
Senators, who are here to speak
against the candidacy of Sen. McKen-
ley, who voted for the Court, will go
to Wisconsin next, where another be-
trayer of the people Linroot is up for
election. It is expected that both Nc
Henley and Lenroot will be over
whelmingly defeated by the people be
cause of their vote on the Court.
I Appeals From Gag Rule
"I appeal from the gag rule of the
senate to the 'ungagged' judgment
and voice of the American people,

and my hope is that every man wh'

On Wednesday only one communi-
cation reached the Office of the Pro-
ducers News from outlying districts.
The letter was from an Outlook man
who did not wish to have his name
published at this time. He said: 81
don't see why Outlook would not be
the best place to hold the fair. This
town is the center of the richest ag-
ricultural district in Sheridan County
but I am in favor of a Fair whether
in Plentywood or Outlook but of
course Pm strong for my home town" !"
It is expected that many letters
from other districts will reach the
Producers News, against and for the
proposition, in time for publication
next week.
The following remarks express the
opinions of representatives of the
various occupations in the City of
PlentywOod:
T. w. Greer, lawyer: Montana
/ grains have been adjudged the best in
the world at the Chicago InternatiOn-
al Grain Exposition. The production
OF this quality is not aa accident; it
is aided by intelligent selection and
exchange Of opinions among progress
sive farmers at County and State
Fairs. One cf the chief values of a
County Fair is the opportunity it af-
fords for all to get together and
measure their relative successes in
their chosen field, to get acquainted
and exchange ideas"
Jack Bennett, Postmaster: II think
the fair proposition is an undertake
ing that will help the whole communi-
ty. It will stimulate better farming
by attracting exhibits from every sec
ton of the county. The fair vii
benefit the farming community most
although it will help Plentywood il
