Pioneer RanCher
Meets Tragic End
Found Badly Frozen Follow
ing Stroke-Dies at Ken
mare Hospital

William Endersby, about
IS, a pioneer rancher and business
man of the Whitehall territory, died
at the Kenmare, N. D., hospital last
Saturday as result Of exposure the
day previous. He was repairing a
box car at Whitehall preparatory to
shipping mules to eastern markets
and was not missed until the day fol-
lowing when searchers went to the
car and found him frozen solid to
the waist. Life was not extinct and
he was rushed to Kenmare, where he
died without regaining consciousness.
Doctors believe he had suffered a par
alytic stroke.
Mr.. Endersby was we'll known from
the Mouse river loop in North Dako-
ia to central Montana, having been
a horse and mule rancher here for
nearly thirty years. His charities has
run into tens of thousands in some
years, which he never told about. He
has been leading figure in financing
worth while enterprises in this ter
ritory and is presumed to be stock
holder in a number Of banks which he
personally assisted during the bank
crisis in this territory by private fin
ancing.
Mr.. Endersby was single and the
only known relatives are two broth
ers in Iowa. He owned ranch of
many thousand acres and large num-
bers of horses, mules and cattle.

Annual Hospital Day
Was a Big Success
Large Crowd Attends In Spite
of Blocked Roads and
Bad Weather

In spite of the unfavorable weather
that has prevailed the past week and
the blockaded condition Of the roads,
which situation made it practically
a town affair, the annual Hospital
Day was success.
The funds received from the vari-
Gus sources, while not as Large as
that derived last year, were very sat
isfactory considering the handicap
the sponsors had to work under.
About $525 was derived from the
various activities that went to make
up the day, practically all of which
with the exception of a nominal sum
for expenses will go toward the
cause.
The funds derived, it is understood
will be spent for new hospital equip
ment which the board has been desir.

County School Notes

The county examining board ex-
poets to complete grading the recent
examination papers by the end of
the week. This will enable our office
to mail the returns out some time
next week.
The county superintendents office
force is enjoying the much needed
extra office space which has been
added the past week. The rooms have
received a fresh coat of paint and the
appearance has been greatly i'm
proved.
The Comertown high school held its
semester examinations Thursday and
Friday Of Last week.
Conspicuous among our duties as
teachers is to give thorough instruc-
tion in the effect of alcohol and to-
bacco. 1t is encouraging to notice
that at it's recent meeting the Dele
gate Assembly expressed its feeling
for the need Of such forceful instruc-
tion in the following resolution:
1--WE urge our State Department
of Education to draft a course of
study suitable for Montana schools
to cover moral and character educa-
tion for all grades Of the school. We
also urge that this include scientific
and we'll balanced course Of instruc-
tion in the evil effects Of the use of
intoxicating liquors and narcotics.
The findings of the Narcotic Re-
search Association warrants this
recommendation. In this respect we
also urge the teaching of respect for
the constitution of the United States
and the laws made Hereunder:
The following amounts were re-
ceived frem the annual Christmas

That Hal? ?
You Get
Where Did

A few minutes after the Satur-
day morning train from the east
had arrived, the news was broad
cast to be on the lookout for
some "city slickers."
The warning proved to be
false alarm, for the two suspi-
cious looking characters proved
to be none other than two re
spectacle tOwnsmen, Stan Palu-
becki and frankie Fishbeck. Both
of them had stepped off the train
affecting headgear known in the
vernecular of the Bowery as
Kelly Hats"
As this was their first Offense
in anything of this order, the
public was inclined to be Ienient
with them, nevertheless, explain
ati0ns were very much in order.
In their confession they stated
that they had attended a style
show held in conjunction with
the Twin Ciy Auto Show and
their purchase of these snow
ball targets was prompted mere
ly by their desire to emulate the
male manikins that walked up
and down the imprOvised prom
made and gloried in the "Oh's"
and "Ah's" of the charming fem
ininry along the route.

with this lid, and walked into the

Hi
Loses Opener
at Tournament
Drops Game to Antelope by
One Point at Culbert-
son Meet
Culbertson Seems to Have
Edge on Dope For Dist
rict Honors

Plentywood High School was elm
mated from the running in the first
frame of games held at the district
tournament at Culbertson, which is
now in progress.
Plentywood was paired to meet its
traditional rival, Antelope, whom it
has met and defeated on two previ-
Gus OCCASIONS this winter. The game
was nip and tuck throughout with
Antelope nosing out a Is to Ia vic
tory in the last quarter.
Culbertson seems to have an edge
on the situation thus far, having
tounced the strong Bainville team in
the first set-to by score Of Sd to II
and when paied against the strong
Scobey five in the second elimination
contest, beat them by 81 to 81
score.
Froid and Antelope, however, are
still in the running at this writing,
but the dope does not seem to favor
them. Froid, just the same, is no
mean contender and the dope has
been upset by teams a lot weaker
than theirs.
Plentywood will be paired this ev-
ening with one of the losing teams,
the announcement of the selection
not having been made at this writing.
All of the teams represeted at the
tourney have drawn a large number
of rooters eager to further the cause
of their schools and Culbertson is
reveling in the resultant hilarity
caused by the fortunes and setbacks
Of the various teams.
The following is the result of the
games played thus far:
Westby 25, Scobey 48.
Bainville II, Culbertson 81.
Antelope Is, Plentywood IA.
Froid 43, Outlook 2.
Bainville 20, Westby 18.

Old Daily Records
LincOln's Death
New York Herald of April
IS, 1865 Is Interesting
Document

Mrs Ella M. Hunt, proprietor of
the Plentywood Hotel, owns relic
that is Of especial interest at this
time of the year when things pertain
ing to Abraham Lincoln are given
wider attention because of his birth
day anniversary.
The relic in question is an age
worn copy of the New York Herald
bearing date of April Is, 1865 and
playing up as its principal news
feature the assassination of the pres
ident.
One column features the tragic
news as it first came over the wire
to New York, stating that President
Lincoln had been shot by John
Wilkes Booth. The report stated
that the President was still alive but
the wound was of such nature that
death was expected any moment.
Another column announced that
the President had passed away.
According to common practice
among newspapers Of that day when
announcing news of sufficient mo-
ment to cause national mourning, the
column rules on the front page were
inverted giving the paper decided
ly "black" appearance.
Other items of interest found in the
paper was a report concerning Jeffer-
son Davis, president of the Confed-
eracy, who stated that the fall of
Richmond was advantageous to the
South as the Confederacy instead Of
massing its troops in one locality
could expend its efforts in many di-
rections. The fallacy of Davis posi-
ton is shown in another column
which announces the surrender OF
Lee at Appomatox to General U. S
Grant.

More Strict Rules
For Library Patrons
Responsibility For Borrowed
Books Made Definite By
New Board Ruling

The Sheridan County Library
board, consisting Of Miss Singleton,
Mrs. Opgrande and S. C. Faaborg
met in the library from one to two
o'clock February /. Miss Baker IL
brarian, was also present. The chair
man presented general information
regarding approximate yearly re-
ceipts of the library during 1926 and
1927 and 1929. The balance on
hand Dec. 81, 1928 was $1785.18.
A general discussion followed regard
ing the amount available for the pur
chase Of new books after taking
care of librarians salary, janitor's
salary, fuel and lights, rebinding,
etc.
Since there is some financial re-
sponsibility incurred by every bor-
rover of public library books, at the
suggestion of the librarian, the
board decided that in the future,
children must have the names of
their parents on their cards and
strangers must have the endorsement
of a responsible resident citizen be-
fore being able to obtain books. This
fixes the responsibility for books bor-
rowed upon some definite person.
A suggestion was offered and ap-,
proved that the library board hold
regular meetings once every quar-
ter, the next one to be in April.
A list of recommended books was
read and approved and the librarian
was instructed to order them as soon
as possible.
A new truck has been added to the
library equipment. This adds to the
appearance Of the library and is most
useful. The books may be returned
to the shelves more easily and the
book bindings are not so liable to be
damaged.
Another addition to the library is a
picture named "We." This picture
was given to the library by the
Youths Companion at Christmas
time. 1t is the picture which has
been chosen by national commit
tee to hang in the capital building in
recognition of Colonel Charles A.
Lindbergh's work in aviation. 1t is
an attractive picture with great
deal of meaning.

HIGHER STANDARDS ASKED
OF GROWERS OF PURE SEED
Revision of Rules Governing
Seed Production In Mon
tana Is Sought

A large group of Montana Farm
ers and Farm Women attended the
18th Annual Farm and Home Week
Program which was held at the Mon
tana State College from February 4
to the 9th.
during the week, the forenoons OF
each day was devoted to general as
semblies. at which sveral interesting
speakers addressed a group. Dr. AL
fred Atkinson, President of the Mon
tana State College gave very inter-
esting address on agriculture condi-
tions in Europe in comparison with
conditions in Montana. Professor j.
H. Sheppard of the North Dakota
States College gave very interest
ing talk on livestock conditions as he
saw them during his trip through the
old country the past year. Each af-
ternoon of the conference was devot-
ed to group meetings at which prob
lens pertaining to Montana agricul-
ture were discussed.
One of the outstanding features OF
the meetings held last week was the
Farm Group meeting in which the
Montana Seed Growers recommend
ed a complete revision Of the rules
for high quality seed production in
Montana. Mr. Kurtz, who is Secre-
tary Of the Montana Seed Growers
Association, in addressing the group
brought out the fact that many seed
growers in the state have not been
upholding the standard in the pro-
duction of registered and approved
classes, and the result was that II
some instances, seed has been distri-
buted thruout the state that was s
deteriment to the Seed Growers AS
sociaion. Those present went on rec
ord as recommending smaller acre.
ages for registered seed growers
with more rigid inspection which un-
doubtedly will result in Montana
leading the country in high quality
seed production.

Resolutions Adopted By
Assessors at State Meet

The following are the recommenda-
tions passed at the recent Assess
ors' Annual meeting at Helena, which
has resulted in the much discussed
legislation concerning the work, that
is receiving legislative considera-
tion at this time.
First-We recommend that the
word assessor" be substituted with
the word treasurer" insections 2279
to 1895 of the 1921 session laws
This pertains to the collection of poll
taxes, the supreme court having ruled
that the assessor is not collector.
Second-We recommend that a law
be passed to the effect that the
county clerk and recorder do not ac-
cept any instrument for recording
where the title of property is being
transferred, unless full and correct
address of the grantee be given in
said instrument. (Such a law was
passed relative to the assignment Of
mortgages in 1929
Third-We recommend that our
present plating law (chapter 4l
section 4181, article 81 be amended
so that any irregular tract of land be
ordered surveyed by the county COM
missioners, and if same is not COM
piled with by the owner that the
county surveyor will then be instruct
ed to such irregular tract, giving
same designation by number and
same be recorded. Also that the
above sections be amended so that
parks and Fairgrounds will not be
included in tracts outside of city
limits and additions to cities, the cost
Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1929-02-14

of such plating to be assessed
against land, if not paid by owner
when work is done. The object Of this
is to shorten descriptions and simpli-
fly same in cases Of property going
delinquent and eventually going to
tax deed.
Fourth-We recommend that all
automobile licenses must be paid by
March / of each year, and if not
paid by by that time penalty of rs
per cent should be added to the or
iginal amount of the license.
Fifth-We recommend that all
county officers be elected for a per-
iod of four years.
Sixth-We recommend that the law
governing the expenses of assessors
and deputies be amended from "Not
to exceed $50 per month";" to read
"Not to exceed the actual expenses" F"
Seventh--We recommend that sew
enth class counties be eliminated and
merged in with the sixth class.
The committee on legislation ap-
pointed by the assessors association
to make recommendation for new
laws or amendments to the present
law report as follows:
First-We recommend that all
banks, banking institutions, loan as
sociations or any competing line of
the banking business be assessed not
less than a per cent basis of full
and true value.
Second-We also recommend that
solvent credits and evidence of credit
be assessed on a basis of 10 per cent
of the full and true value.
