BY G. R. HAIR, Deputy
Note the charge for September 7th
18th and Gath where a charge fol
mileage is made by the sheriff foi
trips to Bowbells, Grenora and Will
iston, North Dakota; these charges
are made contrary to law as he has
no right whatsoever to charge fol
mileage outside of the state of Mon
tana, and can when it is necessary il
the discharge of his duties to visit
outside of the state, charge only ac
tual expense.
Also note the number of jaunts ar
ound the county to check up on cal
license. He has visited practically
every town in the county on thi:
business, according to his claim, wher
right here in Plentywood there are
at least six automobiles belonging
to Rodney's friends, which have nj
Montana license.
Why is he so aggressive outside Of
Plentywood in this respect? Can il
be that these trips that have beer
paid for by he county have been fol
political and personal jaunts?
Would it not be interesting to know
more about the trip to Medicine Lake
as stated to be made on Sept. Oath, tt
be on gambling? When did he begir
to interest himself in investigating
gambling in the county? Is it not
we'll known that he has at least {
weeks work at home to correct this
evil? Or should they not be molest
ed? Or is his indifference caused
by the fact that his Undersheriff was
an interested bystander to say tn,
least, when the city police raided s
gambling joint recently? Is it moi
the duty of an officer to arrest any
one committing crime in his pres
ence? From the record of these Of
ficers it is shown that the expense
has been great with no results. Car
anyone remember of any arrests by
these officers, for gambling, robbery
murder or other crimes committed
within the county? We all can re,
call the actions instituted against tht
Commissioners by the instigation Of
this very sheriff, and if we do not
miss our guess, that upon check Of
this claim of the sheriff, it would bt
found that most of the charges are
illegal.
