Federal Officers Knock Over
Mint Cigar Store, Tues. Mite

Last Tuesday night, OCTOBER Zzhu,
Ike Arkwright, border patrol man,
and Federal raider Hoover of Scobey,
raided the Mint and found some liquor
and home brew.
The raid was made without a
search warrant of any sort and A. L.
Monahan, who was clerking was ar
rested and taken by these federal 90
officers before Police Magistrate
Wheeler where he pleaded guilty and
was fined 5000 for running public
nuisance, or something of that sort
The entire procedure is very
strange and Just whal
these officers were doing raiding {
place without a warrant, and just why
they arraigned the man before a po
lice magistrate of small town IN
, stead of taking him before the Y. :
Commissioner and returning him t.
the federal court is somewhat OF Z
puzzle The procedure evidently ha

hind closed doors with a blanket, so
we are told, over the window, and

Jack Bennett, postmaster, ex subject

came Game Warden Krost, a funny
looking character, who used to be the
gate keeper of the Ku KluX Klan, and
who came to Plentywood a few
months ago and got the job of game
warden for this county in some mys-
terious manner, probably because OF
Klan pull; then l.. S. Olson, the IA
NOUS finger print artist, and old
sleuth, who used to poster Russelites
during the war and who once run a
German spy into his hole, came in
the back door. Oscar Collins was
called because he knows a lot about
bank robbers, some of his relatives
having at one time or another been
experts in the business, for advice.
The matter was talked over fo1
some time. The chief of police, Geo
i Pierce, was called and a warrant was
drawn and taken to Police Magistrate
George Wheeler to sign. Then Chie1
Pierce accompanied by Game Warder
