rOar-Hueth Wins from O'Brien
and Bolster Draws With Wagner.

One of the most complete and fast
est boxing cards ever put on in north
eastern Montana was "pulled off" at
Brush Lake last Sunday afternoon,
under the auspices of the American
Legion Post Of Plentywood and N. D.
johnson who managed the exhibition.
The first on the program were the
Greengard twins of Williston, who
are about ten years of age and they
caused great merriment as they
fought toe to toe with a skill that
was astonishing in youngsters of that
age.
The first preliminary was between
"Red" Bolster of this city and Wag-
ner of MinOt. This bout was fast and
furious for four rounds and a draw
was given the boxers which met the
approval of the fans.
The second preliminary was slam
bang affair between Paul Hueth OF
Coalridge and Charley O'Brien o1
Plentywood Hueth was little tim
id to shart off the battle, but he grew
in confidence as the battle progressed
finally forcing O'Brien's seconds tC

THE GENERAL FUND OF THE

SIEBRAND SHOWS AT
TRACT LARGE CROWDS

The Siebrand Shows, which opened
in Plentywood Tuesday night are at
tracing large crowds of pleasure
seekers this week.
Some of the features of the shows
were the old time Merry-go-round
and the largest Ferris wheel ever
operated in this city. A chair-plane
travelling at high rate of speed fur
nished thrills for the more daring.
All these attractions were patronized
by both young and old. Among the
other attractions were the Hawaiian
Village with its string bands and
unique dances, Johnny the Wonder
Man, with his banjo, and the famous
Costa Pias Entertainers who showed
an unusual amount of talent. The
fat lady and strong man were also
present. The freak exhibit was very
good including a mountain snake 1914
feet long. various balloons and the
usual s'Darwin's Missing Link" which
in this case has human hands. The
exhibit also included a "What Izit,
an animal which caused a great deal
of comment among the spectators.
Blanket wheels, doll racks and vari-
Gus games of skill and chance were
also there in abundance. Hot dogs
red lemonade and ice cold pop lent
the final circus touch to the whole
affair.

HISTORY OF VAN

Boston-(FP)-There was a gasp
ing atmosphere in Boston the last
days before Gov. Fullers' decision.
With Nicola Sacco hunger-striking
to the last, and his friends demon
strating and appealing outside, the
famous case was dramatically rushing
to its climax.
Sacco and Vanzetti arrested as two
unknown Italian radicals in the red
hunting days of May, 1920, had be-
come internationally famous brands
of American justice.
Never has the labor movement so
unanimously believed in the inno-
cence Of frame-up victims The con-
servative American Federation of
Labor denounced their conviction as
"ghastly miscarriage of justice" and
demanded a new trial at three nation
al conventions. Trade unions, Social
ist, Communist and l. w. w. organi-
cations continued to make an issue OF
| the case in America; and abroad
there were strikes in South America;
immense demonstration in Latin Eur
Iope and appeals from the national
labor and radical organizations oil
Germany, England and other coun-
/ tries.
And though Sacco and Vanzetti, a:
anarchists were out of line with tn,

Coolidge to Visit Pan-American
Congress
So deeply is Coolidge concerned by
the growing tensity that he is think
ing of attending the Pan-American
congress in Havana next spring, max
ing the first time that an American
president has officially visited Lat
in-American country. 1t is through
the Pan-American Union and its con-
crosses that the u. S. government and
big business hope to extend their in

The wildfire of denunciation run

press from the Excelsior of Mexico
City to the Prensa and Nacion of Bue-

of boycotts and the attempted de-
struction of U. S. monuments in Cuba
and Argentina are eloquent testimon-

Pan-Americanism is doomed In the
view of open-nainded Americans who
understand Spanish and keep close
tab on what happens. Instead, Lat

A few DAYS ago q school trustee of
one of the So sctoOI districts OF
Sheridan County called at my office
for some information. 1t seems that
one of the enterprising local attOr-
neys had written the district that he
would collect for the district WHAT
WAS DUE AND OWING TO THEM
FROM SHERIDAN COUNTY for
their pro rata share of interest on
delinquent taxes collected during the
last five years, on a FIFTY-FIFI4
BASIS.
This Of course looked pretty good
to the. trustees. Apparently they
were going to get something for
nothing.
But after looking into the matter
and what the outcome would be. if
this proposition was accepted by the
So school districts of Sheridan COun-
ty, and by the incorporated towns in
the county, the trustee requested me
to explain the matter to the other
school trustees Of Sheridan County,
and to the public.
During the last five years Sheridan
County has collected the following
amounts in interest on delinquent
taxes:
July 1, 20 to June 80. 1928 4,197. .3s
July l, '2S to June 80, 1924. 21,541.4(
July 1, "a to June 80. 1926. 42,844.O;
July 1, '25 to June 80, 1926 4S,8O2.9C
July 1, '26 to June 80. 1927 1S,7S4.3l
Total for the five years STAG, ,170.O(
About sixty per cent of this amOun
or $87,600.0O, would probably be paiC
out and distributed among the vari
Gus trust funds if that plan was car
ried out. Deduct about $7,600.00 fO
what approximately would go to th
state funds and you have a remainin,
balance of about $8O.0OO.0O which i
subject to distribution among tn
: various school districts and the incOr
, pOrated towns in Sheridan County.
1t might here be well to state, tha
there is no statute in the matter, an
it has always been the custom in thi
state for the county to retain the in
terest, but there is a recent Suprem
Court decision which without a dOub
gives the districts and towns a RICH
to their pro rata share of the inter
est.

I AS the men were working, Frank
suddenly appeared near the Anderson
house and without warning opened
fire. The brothers ran through the
hail of shot and attempted to wrest
the gun from his hands, but he beat
them off. Then he continued SHOOTING
until the gun jambed, when he wheeled
about and ran in the direction of his
