RECENT NORTH
COUNTRY RAIDS
OFFICERS MAKE BIG HAULS
IN DANIELS, SHERIDAN
COUNTIES

SCOBEY, Jan. 15.-Officer E. T..
Corcoran, assisted by Hale Nelson
chief of police at Scobey, raided
the Holyk hotel Thursday night,
confiscating 50 bottles of home
brew and eight or nine quarts of
moonshine whiskey The proprie
tor, Joe Holyk and his wife were
both arrested. The defendants
plead guilty in police court, re-
ceiving a fine of $50 each, which
they paid and were released.
Canadian Stuff
Another place raided was the
home of Albert Walters, where the
officers found between 80 and 40
cases of Canadian beer, some be-
ing broked packages, 20 gallons Of
Canadian wine and four or five
bottles of Canadian whiskey. Wal
lers was arrested and warrant ser
we'd, but later while the officers
were busy searching the place, he
escaped. However, they have
warrant of apprehension and will
likely have no trouble recapturing
him as he has a wife and family
of children here in the place that
was raided.
The rooming house above the
Burton restaurant was raided, but
no one was arrested there, as no
liquor was found.

mess meeting of the First Luth-

quite rapidly. Very splendid re-
ports from the organizations of

nary expenses of the church was
read and approved. The report of
the building committee on the
building expenditures showed a
net cost of the superstructure to
have been in the neighborhood of
nine thousand dollars, exclusive OF
the cost of the basement and the
furnishings throughout. A large
part of the Indebtedness on the
building since completion has been
paid thanks to a splendid response
from the building fund contribu-
tors and the great assistance from
the Ladies Aid.
A comprehensive report of the
resources and liabilities Of the
congregation, prepared by A. ].
Isachsen and John 0. Garden,
showed total property valuation

FAVOR NOT APPRECIATED
POLICE HAUL IN THE
FISHBACk BOYS

Late Monday evening Chief of
Police Shamley arrested Art and
Paul Fishback on a charge of dis
turbing the peace and lodged them
in the city jail The chief says
the boys were so much displeased
at the proceeding that they made
earnest efforts to wreck the Jail,
smashing the stove and breaking
up a bed and running mattress.
The next day they were brought
before Judge Gordon for the hear
ing.
Hard Boiled
Numerous witnesses were intro
duced to prove that the boys were
intoxicated and used profane and
obscene language on Main street
Just prior to their arrest. They
had no attorney but Paul Fishback
conducted the defense. Their
conduct before the court is des
cribed as hard-boiled, but the evi-
dence was all against them. They
declared that they were not drunk
at the time they were arrested
but imbibed some evidence they
found stored in the Jail. The court
did not bear down as hard as it
might considering all of the cir
cumstances of the case, and gave
them 80 days each in the county
Jail
The Cleanup Policy
Shamley had quite job getting
them in side of the city bastile
at the time or the arrest He says
the defendants tried to make their
getaway while he was unlocking
the Jail While he was putting
one in, the other succeeded in
beating it back to Main street, but
was in poor condition for sprint
ing and was soon overtaken.
Mayor Appelgren and the police
and other city officials have been
very successful in keeping Wolf |
Point clean and quiet and free
from serious crimes during the
iall and winter They intend to
continue and increase their eff
'orts in this direction. A fratern-
ty, entirely too numerous, OF
would-be sports and tough guys
las recently made headquarters
lere and several of the chief Of
lenders have been hauled into
court on vagrancy charges and
given Jail sentences with the al
,ernative of leaving town and do
ng it soon. In each case the
privilege of moving on was ac-
,epted.

CAME
FROM SINCLAIR
FALLS SON-IN-LAW SOLVES
THE MYSTERY OF THOSE
LIBERTY BONDS

WASHINGTON, Jan 24.-Harry
F. Sinclair was named Tuesday
before the senate lands committee
as the source of the $230,500 in
Liberty bonds received by Albert
B. Fall, after he had leased the
Teapot Dome naval reserve to the
wealthy New York oil operator in
April, 1922.
This testimony, twice withheld
from the federal courts, was given
freely by the man who handled
the bonds, NJ T. Everhart, of
Pueblo, Colo, son-in-law of the
former interior secretary. He de-
clared that besides this sum, for
which Sinclair was to get an in
terest in Falls New Mexico ranch,
Fall received S2,5OO in Liberty
bonds and $4,000 in cash as
"loans" from Sinclair The wit
ness said he did not know whether
these were repaid.
At it's original inquiry four
years ago, which was revived on
Tuesday this week, the committee
received testimony that Sinclair
also advanced $4,000 in Liberty
bonds to Fall after the latter had
retired from the cabinet and be-
fore he made a trip to Russia as
the oil operators representative
in negotiations with the soviet
government.
Thus the record now stands
that the former interior secretary
received a sum total of S294,000
from Sinclair and 100000 from
Edward L. Doheny, after the lease
4 of the Teapot Dome and Elk Hills
California naval oil lands, which
since have been recovered by thu
i government.
Paid S23o,oo0 to Fall
Testimony at the Fall-Sinclair
criminal conspiracy trial here
which was halted abruptly last
November after Burns detectives
shadowed the jury, was that the
S230,500 in bonds which Everhart
says Sinclair personally paid over
to him were part of a block OF
such securities which the Conti-
mental Trading company, Limited,
a now extinct Canadian corpora
ton, bought in New York out of
it's profits on the purchase and re-
sale of oil in this country.

PROPERTY AND OFFICIALS
INDUCE BIG TAX PAYMENTS

The vigorous and systematic ell
forts of the county commissioners
and County Treasurer McFarlan,
assisted by the cooperation OF
other county officials, to collect
the delinquent taxes due the coun-
ty, are bringing gratifying results.
Forcing collection of taxes is not
a pleasant job and is one that does
not make friends for the officials
who do it, but in spite of this the
commissioners and treasurer de-
cided that the time had come
when back taxes should be gath
cred in, as far as possible, as a
matter of sworn duty and as an
economical policy.
County treasurer McFarlan has
furnished The Herald the follow
ing tax collection data, covering
the months of September, October,
November and December, 1927
This shows
Total amount collected, $390.O97.42

End payment MAY 30) 176.124.21
Delinquent taxes were collected
for each year since the county
was organized. 1926, S23,776.94;
1925, s12,6S9.7S; 1924, S13,302.99;
1928, $19,5721O; 1922, S12,670.39;
1921, S17,743.59; 1920, $6,364.79;
1919, S3,305.64.
Two Factors
The county treasurer believes
that the large payments received
are due to two causes, one, the
greater degree of prosperity that
now exists in Roosevelt county
and the other the fact that notice
has been given that the county is
preparing to take title to real
property on which the taxes are
long delinquent, and also prepar-
ing to sell personal property on
which the taxes have not been
paid. The fact that the act OF
serving notice has had the erect
of bringing in more than 100000
in delinquent taxes, proves that
it was possible for many who had
not paid to do So This amount
of money devoted to liquidating
some of the county's indebtedness,
and cutting off large amount OF
interest, is a business-like move /
and does much credit to the ab1l-
ity and efficiency of the present
officials.
Denotes Better Times
1t should be explained that a
large part of these taxes come |
from nonresident land holders, |
who came into possession of the
land through real estate loans, !
speculative investments, and IN
some cases through homesteading
and who have been making no ell
fort to meet their tax Obligations.
Every consideration, it is under
stood. will be given to people re
siding on their property and max
ing an honest effort to meet their |
obligations. Town property, held
in many cases by people who in
vested on speculation and have
moved away and left the municipal
obligations for former neighbors
to bear, will also be sold under
tax sale.
While on the face of it this con-
iition may look bad to those at
distance, the condition in this
county is not as bad as in many
other counties throughout the
Northwest, and the fact that
arge part of the delinquent taxes
are now becoming collectible is
he best proof of return OF pros
oerity in Montana
