Costly Prairie Fire Sweeps
West End of Daniels County

Scobey.- Wiping out the farm
buildings of three different farmers
between Opheim and the west end of
Daniels county, disastrous prairie
fire ragged all day Tuesday and caus-
ed heavy losses to residents of that
district.
The Truax and Spear ranges and
stacks of feed and hay were destroy
ed and many other farmers and stock
men hard hit.
The cause or origin of the fire or
the full extent of the damage was
not learned. Farmers of the COM
munity and from Peerless and Rich
land fought valiantly against the
wind swept flames but only conquer
ed with the assistance of natural fire
breaks.

In spite of the bad weather a large
crowd of farmers attended, but later
in the day the numbers were depleted
on account of the big prairie fire that
was then burning in the northwest
end of the county. The fair commit
tee paid cash premiums on articles
that were listed on their premium list
and gave ribbons for the first and
second place to all others articles
that were brought to the show. The
latter was necessary on account of
! limited funds.

CASE WORST ON RECORD,

Bristling with pungent ,erms of de-

and the Continental Trading COM

today by Senator Nye, Republican,

crat, Montana, who prosecuted the
oil investigations and whose find
ings characterized Robert w. Stew

"Never has the world known a
case involving degree of fraud,
quite evident bribery, thievery, con-
spiracy and corruption to compare
with what has come to be known as
the Teapot Dome-Elk Hills-Con-

port said.
1.-THE leases involved in the case
are estimated to have been worth not
less than $5OO,OOO,O0O, and were
contaminated, to use the language
Of the supreme court Of the United
States, by conspiracy, corruption
and fraud
1.-THE investigation has uncovered
the slimicst Of Shiny trails beaten
by privilege. The investigation has
shown, let us hope, privilege at its
worst. The trial is one Of dishon-
csty, greed. violation of law, Sec
recy, concealmcnt, evasion. falsehood

PENITENTIARY
INMATES HAVE
TIME FOR PLAY
Playing Ball Games on Satur.
day Gives Prisoners More
Recreation

More recreation or the prisoners
at the state penitentiary here has
resulted from the new rule requir-
ing baseball games to be played on
Saturday, W:.rden John ]. Lee, said
today.
Warden Lees statement came in
response to comments which have
reached his ears that the abolition Of
Sunday baseball has worked hard
ship on the prisoners.
Instead of less time for recrea-
ton, as claimed by some uniformed
persons, the warden said, the prison.
ers have more than ever before.
They are given two evenings a
week for recreational purposes in
addition to Saturday afternoon and
Sunday morning. Under the old
system they received two evenings
q week and Sunday afternoon.
The comment which resulted from
the change, Lee said, resulted from
the fact that some of the prisoners
were dissatisfied with the abolition
of the Sunday afternoon baseball
game. Two of them, Lee said,
struggled out of the penitcntiary an
open letter addressed to the news
papers of this and neighboring
states, in which it was made to
appear that riot had occurred over
the subject of Sunday baseball.
One of the authors of the letter,
Lee said, was William GUNNER, sem
fenced to the prison from Fargo fol-
lowing his conviction on a murder
charge several years ago. The 9TH
er prisoner who turned his talents
to letter writing was murderer from
Towner county. Each has lost the
job as clerk which he had held at
the prison.
Because of the fact that half of
the men now in the prison were not
there last year, Lee said, it was
only the "old-timers" who pro-
tested the change when it was an
nounccd at the start of the base
ball season this year. Some of the
prisoners who previously had played
on the baseball team refused to play
unless the games could be staged
Sunday. These found, however,
that they were harming only them
selves since others were found to
take their places and they were
kept to their cells during the games.
Most of them have applied for per-
mission to play, Lee said, and some
of them have been permitted to do
SO.
No trouble has yet been ex-
perienced in scheduling contests for
Saturday afternoons although the
prisoners had contended this would
be the case, Lee said.
