Livestock Demonstration Train to Be
Here on Afternoon of October IL;
Premium List Larger Than Ever.

The members of the board of the
Sheridan County Fair held a meet
ing at the County Agents office on
Wednesday evening, August 22nd, at
which time plans were laid for stag
.ng the county fair on October 10,
II and IL. The reason for holding
The county fair at this time was to
cooperate with the livestock demon
stration train which will be in Plen-
tywood on the afternoon of October
11th
A few changes in regard to the
fair will be made this year, one of
which is discontinuing the livestock
department, because of the livestock
demonstration train which will take
the place of the livestock exhibition.
However, a special Al pig club will
be open for all the boys and girls
who are now enrolled in club work
in the county.
The premium list this year will be
larger than in previous years and it
was decided by the board of direct
ors that no special entries will be
made to compete for cash prizes, but
win only be accepted for display pur-
poses.
A new department will be estab-
lished this year which will create a
great deal of interest in the COM
munities, which will be in the nature
of community exhibit. The fair
board is awarding silver trophy for
The best community booth at the
'air this year Amy community in
the county wishing to participate in
this exhibit Will be allotted space, pro-
viding they notify the county ex-
tension agent ten days before the
fair. All exhibits that are included
in the community booths will also
compete for individual cash prizes.
1t was decided to make the commun-
ty booth display a permanent de-
| partment in the Sheridan County
Fair as it is the principal way in
| which interest may be stimulated in
each community in the county.

NEW CANCELLINC
MACHINE INSTALLED
in POSTOFFICE HERE

A new electric cancelling machine
was installed at the local post office
this week by George C. Knorleine,
civil service man and expert mechan-
ic. This machine is capable of hand
Ing 10000 letters an hour. While
the Plentywood postoffice will have
the opportunity to use the new ma
chine for only about one hour each
day, it will be great labor-saving
device, dispensing entirely with the
old-fashioned method of hand can
ceiling.
The U. S. post office department
has purchased about 1000 of these
machines this year and has installed
them in various post offices over the
United States. The cost of machine
such as is installed here, was approx
imately $500 before the war, but last
year the figure was reduced to $3.50
The operation of this machine re-
quires only about as much current as
one 50watt bulb uses, but it does the
work of several clerks.

or, which he threatened to use if his
wishes were not complied with. The
door of the car on the side Carney
was sitting was open, and in putting
up his hands, he slid out, at the same
time removing the key from the
switch, and Immediately notified the
police of the attempted theft. The
men then ordered Kelly to start the
car, threatening to slash his throat il
he did not obey. He explained to then
that the key was gone, and evidently
sensing trouble, the holdups made
a hasty getaway.
About 2:30 the same morning

When Chief of Police Pierce and
Rube Jorgenson arrived they search
ed the immediate vicinity, finding
one of the men hiding in some weeds
nearby. He was arrested on suspi-
cion of being one of the offenders,
and gave his nanTe as Tom Weir. He
is being held in the city jail pending
hearing in police court
At five o'clock the same morning
Policeman Oscar Collins and Rube
Jorgensen, while making thorough
search of the town for suspicious
characters, found a man in the hay
NOW in Reuters barn, whom they
arrested. He gave his name as Wal
ter Mcdonald, and was later identi-
fed by Carney and Kelly as the man
who held them up and threatened
them with an open razor earlier in
the evening.
Mcdonald was arrested about
three weeks ago by Policeman Coll
ms, and while resisting the efforts
of the officer, was forcibly dragged
to the city Jail, where he was given
suspended sentence providing ne
would leave the county. This he pro-
missed the court he would do, but ap-
parently forgot his promise, with the
result that he is in much tougher
condition now than before.
1t is apparent that Mcdonald anc
his fellow yeggs had met with mis-.
fortune just west of Plentywood
where they had driven into the ditch
alongside the road and wrecked
Pontiac sedan. In their endeavor t6
save shoe leather they had decided
upon getting another car while here
but met with disaster. Some OF Nc
Donald's clothing were found in ths
car, has positively been identified as
belonging to him.
