PRISON PROGRESS

In 1914 a prisoner In an American Jail wrote:
The first "A hours I was loaded with irons weighing,
I judge, IS pounds, so twisted that / could neither stand
Up. lie down or sleep. We had the dirty, damp floor
and one backlcss chair to sit or sleep on. vermin Of all
sorts abounded: lice. reaches. bcdbuss by the thousands,
fleas. weasels, red ants and moths"
In 1928 a federal prison inspector wrote Of an American
jail:
The county allows no mattresses and only one blanket
to a prisoner. The prisoner either sleeps on the hard
iron Of the cots or on the cement floor. I am certain that
the entire place had not seen a broom or a mop in Is
years. Vermin, it goes without saying, are everywhere"
There have been instances in the present year of in
humane treatment OF prisoners either BY keeping them
imprisoned in neglected cells or through the brutality of
keepers.
But these cases are the exception. On the whole, the
jaus and penitentiaries Of the United States are clean
and reasonably comfortable, even to the point of in
spring the criticism that prison life has lost its terrors
for the criminal. Though the American people may dep
recate treatment which seems to make prisons too to!cr-
able to serve as a crime deterrent. they will not tolerate
nistreatnent, brutality and unsanitary, unhealthy quar-
tiers.

SEVERE SNOW
STORM VISITS
n. f. MONTANA

One of the most severe snow
storms to visit this region in years
visited northeastern Montana and
western North Dakota Sunday night
and Monday and as result Plenty
wood is getting back to normalcy
again after being isolated by snow
blockade which closed all highways
out of town, disconnected telephone
and telegraph service and shut off
electric service for four days.
Monday the storm assumed almost
the proportions of a blizzard but thus
far there have been no freezing
temperatures and no reports of stock
suffering on account of the storm
have been received as yet.
In spite of the inconvenience suf-
fered, the abundance of moisture has
effected decidedly optimistic tone
to the community and should warm
weather without frost return again
before winter sets in there may be
some fall blowing in this vicinity yet
The storm while covering a wide
area, did not assume the proportions
that it did in this vicinity. To the
south along the main line of the
Great Northern there has been con-
paritively little snow and train SER
vice has been maintained up to
schedule

that Smith either killed Logan through a
motive for revenge or that he had been
hired to do so, is at present given the
most credence.
According to the reward poster, Smith
has a long criminal record, the offences
ranging from vagrancy to larceny. He is

In spite of the handicap of impossible
roads, broken telegraph and telephone
communications, the sheriff's Office is re-
porting good progress on the case. The
fact that they had uncovered the impor
tant lead but few hours after the case
vas discovered, is much to their credit
and it is not at all improbable that the
guilty party will be apprehended before
long and the mysteries of a cruel and
cold bIooded murder made clear.

over CONFIDENCE
COST LOCAL HIGH
FOOTBALL GAME

Over confidence is one of the worst
besetting sins that may affect school
athletics.
Plentywood high school is well
aware of the fact, for last Saturdays
game between Antelope didn't pan
out all the way the P. H. S. team
had anticipated. An early season
game with the Antelope high school
team had been an easy victory for
Plentywood, and repitition of that
event was expected.
That's where they got fooled. An
telope was in fine form and played
Plentywood on even terms. When
the closing gun sounded the score
stood 6 and 6.
A game between Scobey and Plen-
tywood was scheduled to take place
at the local field Saturday, but this
has been called off on account of the
impossible roads and the deep snow

CITY EXTENSION
PROBLEMS TO BE-
TARESHED OUT
All Parties Affected Asked
to Attend Council Meeting
Monday Evening

A rift has begun to appear in the
local war clouds that have arisen be-
cause of the proposed extension of
the city limits.
Mayor J. C. Storken announces
that all who are interested in the
proposed extension or who would be
affected by it, are not only invited
but urged to attend he monthly
meeting of the city council at SEe
council rooms lel- Monday 'eping.
ut is not our intention said May
or Storkan, "to be arbitrary in the
matter. We have heard consider
able complaint about the amount of
land not suitable for city lot purpos
es, being added to the city. If there
is in anyway that the matter can be
adjusted so that this land could be
left out, we will be only too glad to
make the adjustment.
The chief complaint of the resi-
dents of the city proper, is the fact
that number Of them are farming
on a small scale and they contend
that farm lands should not become a
part of the city until it is ready to be
come residence property.

a sufficient number of free holders

EARLIEST SETTLER
OF SHERIDAN co.
CROSSES DIVIDE
Geo. N. Ator Came to Sheri-
dan County in 1899
State In 1882

The community mourns the pass
ing of its earliest pioneer citizen,
George N. Ator, who died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. George
Mccoy, last Sunday following a
slight indisposition.
He had been feeling slightly i'll
for couple of days, but on Sunday
evening he had expressed himself
as feeling fine and went to bed in the
spirit that was characteristic of him.
A few hours after he had passed
away.
lMr. Ator was undisputedly the old
est settler in these part, coming
here in 1899, when the region was a
wilderness untraversed except by an
occasional cowboy or sheep herder,
or by some outlaw seeking hideout
among the hills. Mr.. Ator, was in
fact, one of the early settlers of the
state, coming to Montana with his
wife in 1882, making the journey
from their old home in Missouri in a
covered wagon. They landed in
Butte with but Is cents between them
and starvation but this handicap mat
tered little to the hardy pioneers who
were Injured to frugal living and to
hardship.
They left Butte shortly after their
arrival and moved to Great Falls
where they lived until 1889. 1t was
here that Mrs. Ator died.
Mr. Ator was Missourian, having
been born in Cedar County, Missouri
seventy-nine years ago and grew to
manhood in that region. He was
married to Alice Mcmillan in 1875, to
whom ten children were born, all OF
whom are living. ~ >

Crop and Tillage Prac-
tees to Be Discussed

On Wednesday afternoon on Nov
ember 6 many farmers from all
parts of the county will gather at the
County Extension Office for the
purpose of drawing up definite re-
concentrations pertaining to crops
and tillage practices. The most re-
liable source of information for any
section of Montana is that which is
secured from farmers that have made
and tried out certain practices and
found them to be well adopted to
their conditions. Some Of the most
important questions that will be dis
cussed at the meeting on November
will be-What system of summer
fallow returns the greatest profit?
What Crop varities are to be rec
commended for this county? Prop
er methods of alfalfa and sweet
clover culture. Types Of farm inn
plements that are well adopted to
general farming. A general invita-
tion has been extended to all farmers
interested in developing sound
agricultural program to attend the
meeting on November 6. A similar
meeting in regard to livestock pro-
duction will be held on November Is
for the purpose of drawing up re-
concentrations in regard to live
stock in this country.
