COUNTY ATTORNEY
ANSWERS HERALD'S
OPEN LETTER

In answer TO the open letter, pub
lished in the last issue of the Plenty
wood Herald, wish to say that the
matter is almost too foolish and ri
diculous to be worthy of an answer,
and if the editor Of the Herald was
sincere in the matter and really
wanted to know why C. j. Anderson
was released, wish to ask him why
he did not take the matter up with
my office direct, or with the Sheriff's
office, and we would have gladly CIV
en- him an explanation, instead of
picking up street gossip? It is easy
to understand that there is some 9TH
er motive behind this, and just to
know the facts of this case is not the
moving cause on the part of the Ed
itor of the Plentywood Herald, but
the moving cause is to crafty some
past spite, entirely uncalled for,
which will not be mentioned in this
letter.
AS to the facts in the C. j. Ander-
son case, will say that our proof was
somewhat weak, for the reason that
the accused had been demonstrating
this car and asked to demonstrate it
further and to show it to a prospect
i've purchaser ,and by reason that the
accused did not Immediately drive
the car out of town, as soon as it
was taken from the garage, but in
stead stopped with the car for a
while in the city of Plentywood, had
some tendency to refute the intent of
stealing, but even at that, we were
willing to prosecute the case and did
not refuse, but the sheriff could not
retain the accused any longer with
out complaint and the Kienast Mot
or Company refused to sign any
complaint and requested this office
and the sheriff to release the man,
which request was granted. The
Sheriff, Hans P. Madsen, knows the
facts in this case, and if there is any
one that does not believe this to be
true, please take the matter up with
Mr.. Madsen and he will confirm this
statement.
There has been nothing taking
place in my office that | am ashamed
of and everything is an open book
to the public. Any one, whether ed
itor or otherwise, desiring any infor-
nation relative to any case is well
come at my office, and we will glad
ly explain the facts in full, but am
too busy, and my time too valuable
to answer paper publications, and |
do not expect TO publish any further
answers.
GRANT BAKEWELL,
| County Attorney.

INTERNATIONAL LIVESTOCK SHOW TO
ATTRACT THOUSANDS NV FARMERS

sion to the international Livestock
Show in 1925. Popular excursions
were not given any attention during
the war period but after the war and
return Of normal conditions, the ex-
cursion was again established. The
past five years we have had an an
nual stock special train with 200 to
500 formers and their families, most
of them coming from North Dakota.
The way the interest grows among
farmers is shown by the statement
of N. A. Rjorge of Lakota, N. Oak,
who was on one of the last years

the show six years ago having come
to Chicago with carload of cattle.

some large manufacturing plants of
special interest to farmers, to one of
the large meat packing Establishments

Farmers along the Great Nor
thern Railway in North Dakota, nor
thern Minnesota, and Montana, will
make their annual pilgrimage to the
International Livestock Show at Chi
cago on November 30th, according to
an announcement made today by Mr..
E. C. Leedy, General Agricultural
Development Agent.
A low excursion rate of one fare
for the round trip will be in effect
from points in northwestern Mime
sofa, North Dakota and Montana.
The tickets on sale at all points on
November 3oth. A special train will
be operated from North Dakota and
the tickets will be good only on the
special train from Grand Forks; from
other points on regular trains to en-
able people to join the special train
at junction points. The tickets will
be good for the return on any train to
and including December 1th.
Mr.. Leedy says the farmers along
the Great Northern have been max
ing these trips for so many years,
it has become an annual event. The
growing interest in livestock has
/ created demand among farmers
for more information about livestock
in particular.
A large percentage of farmers haV
become livestock minded and want to
attend the International Livestock
Show to see the best their is in the
United States. Back several years
ago the Livestock Exposition did
not attract so much attention as
many farmers were wheat grow
ers and not interested in livestock
Now nearly all Of them raise some
kind of livestock and many Of them
throughout the grain growing sec
tions keep purebread herds of them
and have purebread foundation ami
mails.

Would TrdDerse
Most Popul0us
Region is Claim
Organization to Make Plan a
Reality Perfected at Baker
Meeting

1--WE are greatly encouraged by
the interest shown in Nour highway
proposition and l am confident that
our hopes will be realized in the none
too distant future" said G. B. Bull
on his return from a meeting held in
Baker last Saturday in the interest
of the Regina Mexico Highway which
towns on the extreme eastern border
of Montana are anxious to have made
reality.
The Baker meeting was attended
by about $50 business men represent
ing more than a score of eastern
Montana as well as Saskatchewan
towns tht would be touched by this
proposed highway. Among the
towns in this vicinity represented
were: Outlook, Raymond, Reserve,
Plentywood, Medicine Lake, Froid,
Antelope, Culbertson, Ceylon, Sask.,
Fairview, and Sidney, each represent
ative present being vitality interested
in the success of the project.
There can be no question" said
Mr.. Bull, "but what ours is the most
logical and practical route available
in eastern Montana.
'lt connects with the Canadian
border directly south of Regina and
connects with good road which the
province built short time ago.
From Plentywood south it touch
es populous region with good towns
but cmparatively few miles apart.
This would be far more attractive to
the tourist travelling enroute to Can
ada than to have to travel through
the sparcely settled regions to the
west of US.
"A proposed national highway has
already been allocated from Plenty
wood to Vibaux, which when complet-
ed will serve as populous a region as
is to be found for the same number
If miles in the state.
The Baker meeting, which was
both in the nature of banquet anC
business meeting, was presided ov-
er by Judge Felts of Baker. Talks
were given by Senator Kemis Of Sid
ney, c. B. Bull Of Plentywood and J
f. Rucker Of Culbertson. The two
former speakers outlined the work
planned ahead and Mr.. Rucker gave 9
report on the bylaws of the organiza-
tion.
Mr. Bull and Senator Schnitzler made
the trip to Baker from Froid in the
Senator's airplane.

POWDER BLAST
WRECKS AUTO
DRIVER ESCAPES
Powder Keg Short Circuits
With Car Battery-Ex
ploion Follows

In spite of the fact that he was
seated in coupe that was utterly de-
molished by the explosion Of two
kegs of blasting powder, Lee Hill,
manager of the Hill Coal Mine near
Antelope, is alive to tell the story
and although in the local hospital
suffering from several severe burns
and numerous bruises, his condition
is not considered dangerous.
The explosion occurred last We'd
nesday afternoon while Hill was re-
turning from town to the mine with
a couple of kegs of blasting powder
for use in the mine. The kegs were
in the rear of the car, a Ford coupe,
and it is believed that one Of the
kegs rolled on to the car battery and
caused short circuit which set off
the charge. The first explosion blew
the car open and smashed the wind
shield and the second blast, which
followed in quick succession, threw
Hill out of the car, at the same time
saturating his clothing with flaming
gasoline. Fortunate for him he was
not stunned by the explosion and was
able to tear the burning clothes from
his body as he ran for his home about
a quarter of mile away.
The blaze from the burning gaso
line started prairie fire which re-
quired considerable effort on the part
of the people of the neighborhood to
extinguish the blaze.
The injured man was rushed to
Plentywood to the hospital where
first aid treatment was given. Exam
nation showed that his left arm,
right hand and the left side Of his
body was badly burned and there was
a deep cash across his forehead caus-
ed by broken glass from tie Wind
shield.

Golf News

by P. G. Clubs Official Reporter)
George Koeng took four lessons in
golph from a professional who was
teaching some Of the golf dubs in
Plentywood. John Debing also took
some lessons from the same man.
The question arose as to who was
the best and longest driver in the
Plentwood Golf Club George Koenig
contended that he was and John De-
bing insisted that he was. Finally
the two put on a contest and the re-
suit was that Debing drove the ball
two hundred and fifty yards while
koenig, whose recent sensational de-
feat of j. w. Mckee was one Of the
outstanding events of the season, put
all his beef behind the stroke and
drove the ball twenty yards. Anton
Nelson take notice.
