GUSTAFSON FAMILY
BACK FROM TOUR OF
WESTERN STATES

DR. .Gustafson and family returned
last Saturday from a six weeks trip
through the Parks and visiting all
the principle cities between here ano
Seattle, including Great Falls, Hell
era, Missoula and Portland AT
Seattle they visited several weeks
with Mrs. Gustafson's sisters, who
reside there. They were joined there
by Mrs. Edna Lundquist, who left
Plentywood later than the family
At Seattle the family took in all the
sights worth seeing, one of them be
ing the viewing of the Pacific fleet
of battleships and it was their plea
sure to go aboard one of them. The
doctor says the Pacific fleet in itself
was a great sight and worth going to
see.
AS the public already knows, Dr.
Gustafson's trip would not have been
complete without going fishing This
part of it was attended to the early
part of the trip, when he met the
rest of the Plentywood fishermen al
Great Falls. AS the time devoted to
this purpose was limited, the fisher
men gave the doctor a hearty well
come upon his return by putting on
one of those dinners where every
member has a fresh fish joke to pull
and all the old ones are retold.
The many patrons of DR.. Gustaf
son will be able to receive the SER
vice they wish at his office east of
the Leland hotel.

BURGLARS VISIT LOCAL
TAILOR SHOP, TAKING
CLOTHING WORTH $500
Establishment Broken Into Through
Rear Window, Helping Themselves
10 Mems Suits and Ladies' Dresses.

The Hanisch Tailor Shop was Wis
tied by burglars Sunday night, who
sole approximately $4,000 in clio
thing, some of which was brand new.
Efforts had been made to enter the
side door and failing in this, they
decided to try window in the back
of the shop, which they "jimmied" to
gain entrance, and then helped them
selves to ten suits of clothes, eight
silk dresses and a number of pairs
of mems trousers.
The only clew left by the robbers
was a piece of red wool yarn, which
evidently was torn from a sweater
of one of the culprits, and found in
the window through which they en-
tered
Authorities in communities join
ing Sheridan county, including the
sheriff at Williston, and the associa
ted press at Great Falls, were i'm
mediately notified of the robbery and
every effort is being made to run
down the guilty party or parties.
With the gang that is usual in the
county this time of year, it behooves
every property owner to keep sharp
watch or he may be short some morn
ing. Many of the merchants are
arranging to have night watchmen in
their stores during the fall season.

EXTRA POLICE FORCE
FOR FALL SEASON

Plentywood is fast becoming a met
ropolis, if we are to view the action
of the City Council, when they met
Monday evening and employed an
other policeman to help patrol the
city during the fall months. This
makes four policemen for Plentywood
and it is now hoped that they will
be able to move the many floaters
who come here to loaf around and
watch for the return from the har-
vest fields of the real laborers, so
they can fleece them. There are
scores of honest laborers who come
here, but there are dozens of others
who simply will not work, and it is
the intention of the city authorities
to henceforth keep very close watch
on them, and as soon as they learn
definitely that they are not seeking
honest work, the authorities will give
them their marching orders and will
see that they are complied with.

SWIMMING RECORD
Remains In Water for Nearly 81
Hours; Tired but Able to Walk
TO Dressing Room.

Cotton, Calif.-Mrs. Lee Fourier
left the outdoor Cotton plunge at
1855 p m. Thursday after estab-
lishirg a now worlds endurance
swimming record for women of So
hours and 30 seconds.
Mrs. Fourier, 36-year-old mo-
ther, shattered by an hour and 2S l-2

ed her long swim at o'clock Tues

She was able to walk from the

good condition"
However, she said she was very
tired, and that her lower limbs were
badly waterlogged.
Throughout the long, tedious pad

|COmertOWn Store
Is Robbed
Large Amount of Merchandise Taken
Including Jewelry and Clothing
No Clew Found.

Thieves entered the Jacob Twet
general store at Comertown last
Sunday night, and made away with a
large amount of clothing and jewel
ry, the exact amount of which has
not yet been determined.
The burglars had apparently sized
up the store carefully previous to
the theft, as they had chosen only
the best stock in, the store, includ-
ing suits, overcoats, leather jackets
woo'rn uNderclothing, silks, ladies
drasses as ~'cll as stoe,- of watch
es, rings and razors, and other ar
ticles which would find ready sale
1t is believed that it took more
than one ordinary automobile to car
ry away all the stolen goods, and up
to the present time no exact figure
has been set as the value of the
loot.
Mr.. Twet had just stocked up with
new fall goods, which was only par
TALLY covered by insurance. This
is a heavy loss to Mr.. Twet who had
planned on a big fall trade.
No trace of the robbers have beer
obtained, although it is reported
that they headed west from Com
ertown. The Plentywood city auth.
critics are keeping a close watch fol
suspects.

additional deaths reported from Iowa
