Sunday Poor Golf Dav
But We Needed Rain

Sunday was about as disagree
able a day for golf tournament
as the previous Sunday was ideal.
Rain Saturday put the roads to the
south in such eonGition that only
two of the Richey players got
here. 1t happened that they had
been at Glasgow and came here
from there. A number of the Pop
lar players came up. There was a
strong wind that blew in over
we estern. Montana snowbanks
which acted as a handicap and
prevented any of the players
from making scores that they car
ed TO brag about Only one four
some played the entire 1S holes.
Later foursomes were stopped by
the rain with three or four holes
yet to go.

NORTHSIDE FIRE
GARAGE, CAR BURN
NSONS LOSE $1,000 IN
EARLY MORNING FIRE,
NO INSURANCE

The garage belonging to Bob
Hutchinson on the Northside was
burned to the ground between four
and five o'clock Tuesday morning.
Thee loss is estimated at about
$1,000. In the garage there was
an Oldsmobile Six car, new last
fall, several pieces of furniture, a
new oil stove, $50 chickens in a
brooder and a number of other
things. 1t is thought that the fire
started from the explosion of an
oil stove with which the brooder
was heated.
The fire was discovered by Carl
Jelley, who turned in the alarm
and then aroused the Hutchinsons.
An attempt was made to get the
car out but the fire was too far
The fire company had
trouble in getting the truck start
ed, but the fire had such a start
that they probably couldn't have
saved any thing anyway.

BENRUD DANCE
Is RAIDED SAT.
CONTRABAND is DESTROYED
BY OWNERS TO SAVE
CHARGES


The sensation of the week was
a raid conducted last Saturday
evening by superintendent Charles
Eggars of the Fort Peck reserva-
tion and his deputies, o. L. Greene,
Ford Monroe, Charles Jacobs and
Charlie Thompson. Benrur hall.
or rather the cars parked around
the hall were the scene of the
activity Judging from the amount
OF broken glass TO be seen around
| the hall the following morning.
the raid was a success and con
siderable quantity Of moonshine
Of varying degrees of palIor was
destroyed, although the officials
were able to hang onto only about
a dozen bottles to serve as evid-
ence. 1t is reported that no soon
er was the word passed around
that Supt. Eggers was there than
there was rush from the dance
hall to the cars and the sound of
popping bottles was heard on all
sides.
The members of several cars in
which liquor was found were TAX
en-, and several people were
ordered to report to o. T. Stennes.
o. S. Commissioner on Monday
morning. Monday charges were
hled against Ben Walters. a farm
er, and Ernest Boegler of Wolf
Point. o. T. Stennes, set the time
for hearing at 1880 in the evening
of June 5th. At the suggestion of
Attorney Frank Catlin these men
were released on their own recog-
nizance, and the bottles to serve
as exhibits are to remain in pos
session of the commissioner until
that time
Officials who made the raid say
that conditions at the dance were
bad and that a number of women
as well as men had been drinking.
There is no criticism of Benrud
community intended by this state
nent. The Herald has reason TO
believe that Benrud people as a
iecent, lawabiding community do
lot approve of conditions as they
existed there last Saturday night.

lnces are caused in a community

MIDNIGHT FIRE
RUINS BUILDING
LOSS $3.50 WHEN OLD BARN
PARTLY BURNS-HOBOES
ARE BLAMED

A spectacular fire occurred inst
after midnieht Thursday morning
when an old barn or shed belong
ing to the Farmers Lumber Com
pany was partially burned The
damage is estimated at about
s450 which is only partly covered
by insurance It was known that
at various times hoboes slept in
the building and it is believed that
the fire was started either from a
cigaret or from match thrown
down by hobo. Mr. Herman
said that he could think of no
other possible origin. There had
been some hay in the barn. and the
fire must have spread quickly for
the interior was all ablaze when
the alarm was turned in. Soon
the flames were shooting skyward
lighting up all that part of town.
The fremen got to the scene
quickly and a crowd collected al
most Immediately. Many people
had just gone home or were on
their way home from down town
after the vaudeville performance
at the theatre
The roof is burnt off and the
upper part of the walls are burnt
to a skeleton The building would
have burned much more rapidly
but for the fact that the wood was
soaked by the recent rains. There
was a little or no wind and so
he blaze did not spread to the
adjacent buildings.

TRIANGLE CASE
ENDS HAPPILY
HUSBAND PAYS COURT COSTS
AND TAKES WIFE HOME
"OTHER MAN" FREE

One of those triangle cases
came to light this week when
Harry Randall of Bowbells, N.
Oak. came to Wolf Point and
swore out a complaint against one
Lester Pulver who was believed
to be working in the vicinity of
Poplar According to Randall's
story Pulver formerly worked for
him in North Dakota. He became
infatuated with Mrs. Randall.
Trouble resulted between the Ran
dalls and Pulver left.
Randall was engaged in high
way patrol work at Bowbells.
His wife always got the mail, de-
posted money in the bank and
generally looked after the spend
ing of Randall's monthly s135
check. Besides this he had the
farm. About the middle of May
the pay check came. Mrs. Ran
dali deposited s100 of it to her
husbands account, kept the other
S35 and on May 18th left
her home and three little boys
and came to Poplar, registering as
Mrs. Pulver. Those who knew
them at Poplar believed them to
be man and wife.
Randall suspected where his
wife had gone and followed her.
The complaint was sworn out and
Undersheriff Council went to Pop
lar to look for them. There it was
learned that the couple had left
instructions to have their mail
forwarded to Brockton. Finally |
the trail led to the Ole Lien place /
where Pulver was fencing and /
Mrs. Pulver" was engaged as /
cook for the men. Mr. Council /
told the woman that he was going
to take Pulver to town as there
