county was one of the hardest hit
counties in the state with bank fail

safe keeping by other methods than
IN the local banks. The increased de-

BIG DISTILLERY BURNS

That someone has met with hard
luck in their distilling business in
Sheridan county recently is learned
from reports brought in by farmers
living south of Archer, stating that a
fire was discovered one night a short
time ago in heavily timbered coulee
and upon investigation it was found
that a large shack was being DESTROY
ed. No one in the vicinity appeared
to know of this shack nor that anv-
one ever frequented the coulee. At
ter the fire had died down it was
found that large still had been built
into the sidehill. 1t had been cover
ed with almost four inches of plaster
or concrete. This still would hold
several hundred gallons of mash and
that this was a wholesale plant was
indicated by the finding of more than
100 empty sugar sacks nearby. Who
ever destroyed this outfit had done
a fairly good job of it as it was found
that the large copper coils had been
chopped up and broken into pieces
less than foot long.

The Plentywood quintet is in good

A good crowd should be out and
see this game and help the boys to
bring home the bacon. They have
been practicing faithfully to give THIS
city a team to be proud of and now
the fans should back them up with
their presence at the games. Plenty

Mr.. Einar Leer, a farmer living
near Reserve, met with a bad acct
dent Saturday evening while walking
along the sidewalk in Reserve It
seems that the day he fell it had
been quite warm and melted the
snow, forming a CLASSY surface. and
while walking along a sidewalk bnilt
two feet above the ground he slipned
and fell, striking his head on the ice
on the walk and fell from there to
the ground again striking his head
on the frozen earth. The result of
the fall caused several deep gashes in
Mr.. Leer's head from which the blood
ran freely. He was rushed to PIen-
tywOOd where DR.. Robb dressed the
wounds. Mr.. Leer was quite weak
from loss of blood and his head was
completely bandaged from the result
of the injuries sustained in the fall.
