Airships Visit Plentywood-
Small Boy PLIERS Craft

Last Monday two airships sailed
over Plentywood about $3.50 p. m. and
came down in the west end of the
city. The fliers proved to be Senator
John Schnitzler of Froid and friend
from Billings. The pilots of the
air crafts oiled up their machines
while here and during the process,
one of them hung up his wrist watch
inside the machine. During a short
absence from the machine, 1t seems
that small miscerant had espled the
timepiece and made away with it.
The matter was at once taken up with
Sheriff Salisbury who returned the
watch to them after a few minutes
investigation.
Nothing further was done in the
matter but the authorities will moi
look upon another affair of this kind
with such kindly eyes.
