REVIEW OF CASE

November 30, 1926, little after
half past five in the evening just
after the extra clerks had left, two
masked men came into the county
treasurer's office at the court
house, one through one door and
the other through an other. Treas
urer Torstenson was busy putting
away the days receipts and the
vault door and the time safe were
open. The deputy treasurer, Anne
Hovet, had stepped out for mo-
ment. Torstenson was on his way
from the wicket desk 10 the vault
with the days cash receipts when
a masked man entered the room
from the hall, covered Torstenson
with gun and ordered him to the
floor face down. At the same mo.
ment the other man swung upor
the ledge and stepped over the
wicket onto the desk and jumped
down to the floor to assist his part
ner in searching the vault and tn,
safe. The men told Torstenson {,
lie still or he would get what tn

BALL PLAYER IN BAD

Acting upon advices received
from Bismarck, North Dakota po-
lice officials went to Medicine Lake
last Friday and arrested an al
legged colored House of David ball
player who was under suspicion as
having stolen a Nash car in the
North Dakota city. The coon" was
brought to Plentywood and placed
In jail. A Nash car answering the
description of the stolen vehicle
was found in his possession.
"Sonnyboy" waived extradition
and a Bismarck official came to
Plentywood the first of the week
and returned the colored gentleman
to the North Dakota capital.

PETTY THIEVERY

A wave of petty thievery seems
to have struck Plentywood within

standing on the streets over night

New Britain herald., 1929-07-27

New York, July 27. E'-lt's a stirring battle that four young men Of the majors are having for top batting honors.
 Babe Herman and Lefty o'Dou', locked in a struggle for National Lcagua supremacy. have been hit ting better than the leading Amcri- can League pair, Heinie Manush and Jimmy Fo&X-but the latter are all but dcadlocked in the averages.
 For almost a week Manush and Foxx were within one point of eac1 other. They were banging the bal around in the upper eighties. Her man and O'Doul were several rotches higher and mark of 400 was necessary for respectable lead.
 On the day that Herman was leading the National League with an average of .59S 10 ODoul's .3"" ManusA had rating of .SS7, onf point higher than FoXN.
 Judging by the 1928 figures, three Of the boys are batting bit over their heads. Last year Hcrmar hit $40; I'oXX, BPS and ODoul, .31 19 Manush on the other hand, is riGh' up where he belongs since he hi .37S for the season last year anG was a .S77 batter in 1926.

Golfers 13-SeQuins 1

"lefty' Folden was far from the winning form of recent games as he faced the Golfers in a postponed Ju- nior City league baseball game last night at Willow Brook park, and the Golfers battered him for 3 hits and 13 runs to win a SeVen-inning contest by the score Of 8 to l. The game started more than 20 minutes late and was called at the end of the seventh.
 Zembko. hurling for the Golfers was in great shape, in fact, he was as good as anyone has ever seen him and he moved down the opposing batsmen one after the other. He al lowed a scant four hits and only one run was scored off him. this coming in the third after a triple hy Fink and a passed ball by Fat" Mar cinzyk.
 Neither team scored in the first inning but the Golfers started in the second. Folden's support collapsed, T. Schubert and T. Folden being the most guilty in the transgresslons. Schubert couldn't seem to pick a ground ball and he committed three bad errors while Folden in left field allowed hit after hit to drop safely when they should have been easy putouts.
 The Golfers scored three in the second, one in the third and none in the fourth. Resuming their bat ting in the sixth, they scored two more and then ran wild in the sixth to score seven. The team let up in the seventh and failed to score.
 Jason with four out of five hits and Marcinzky with three out of five, were the heavy hitters for the win ners, while none Of the losers got more than one hit. Cabay at second played a good game for the losers while Fink in center field was the bright spot in the Sequins' defense | The summary:

FRANCE HAS EDGE
 IN DAVIS MATCH
Cocbet and BrugnOn Victorious
 in First Singles Battles

Paris, July 27 [P) - Between France and three straight victories in the Davis Cup tennis challenge round stood two American youths. Winner Allison of Texas and John Van Ryn of New Jersey.
 Victorious in the first two singles matches yesterday, Henri Cochet and Jean Borotra, aces of the tricolors tennis squad, needed only to brush aside the challenge of the youthful Americans to assure Frances reten ton of the cup she won at German town in 1927 and successfully de- tended against the United States last year.
 Indications that the French were determined 10 clinch the series no 1 later than today if possible were plain when it was announced that Borotra and Cochet would play Tn the doubles. The Borotra- -Cochet combination generally is rated as the strongest in France. Before the series began it had been expected that if the French won the first two singles matches they would send in Christian Boussus and Jacques Brug- non to play the doubles, thus giving Cochet and Borotra a days rest in between singles matches. This would have been tantamount to conceding victory to the United States in the doubles for Allison and Van Ryn have developed into one of the strongest teams in the world. They won the Wimbledon championships beating among others the strong Cochet- -Brugnon pair
 Even should Van Ryn and Allison win today the United States cause apparently has been lost. Bill Til- den's straight set defeat at Cochets hands and Borotra's four-set triumph over George Lott yesterday allowed no room for hope that the American singles players will be able to viii the last two singles matches tomor- row when Cochet meets Lott and Tilden faces Borotra. Tilden may be able to overthrow Borotra but mol even the most optimistic of Ameri- can observers have any hope Lot can down Cochet, who right now
 st ems 10 deserve ranking as th'
 greatest singles player in the world
