OUR GOLFERS PLAYED
WITH The SIDNEY CLUB

Fourteen members of the Wolf
Point Golf club went to Sidney
and played an 1S-hole match with
team representing that club
The Wolves had the best of the
count by the narrow margin of
six strokes when the cards were
totaled. The reporter could not
get the individual scores of all
the players but they said Doc"
Burgess once more played the
role of Bobby Jones with the best
score for his team, 81.
The boys were a bit ashamed
that they could not decorate their
cards with their usual fancy
figures like SO or 70. The reason
was that the Sidney course is
some 500 yards longer than most
courses in this region. They say
it is a dandy course and they en-
joyed the match.

called there as a witness in fed
eral district court in the case
against L. A. Ruben of Williston
and e. p. Wilson of Mondak, ar
rested in connection with the
mammoth still raid south of
Frazer last January. Clarence
Dempsey, %, also arrested at that
time, and who at that time took
full responsibility for operating
the still, forfeited his $1,000 bond
and did not appear for trial
Bonds We're originally set at $4,000
but they were reduced to $1,000
Ernest Walton appeared as attor-
ney for Wilson and Rubens 1t
is said that the sentence imposed
upon the two men by Judge Pray
is the severest that has been
dealt out to liquor offenders in
recent years.
1t will be remembered that ac-
tion was not brought on charge of
violating the Volstead act, but
the defendants were charged with
illegal operation of a distillery, a
crime which carries with it much
stiffer penalty than does violation
of the Volstead act. The follow
ing account of the case, taken
from the Circle Banner was in
type before The Herald reporter
interviewed Supt. Eggers. 1t is
substantially correct except as to
the residence of the men, and the
fact that while the two four
months Jail sentences each re-
ceived are to be served concur
rently, Wilson and Ruben were
each fined $500 on each of two
counts, or $1,000 apiece

WOLF POINT One
OF 4 KEY TOWNS

A travelling representative OF
Butler Bros, the large wholesale
jobbers, of St. Paul, was here a
few weeks ago and mentioned to
a local merchant, j. H. Coffey,
that his house intended to bring
it's extensive sample line of holi-
day goods to a few we'll located
cities in Montana to display them
for the benefit of the merchants
of the surrounding territory, who
will be able to see the line at far
less cost in time and money than
if they went to st. Paul.
Mr.. Coffey explained at length
that no better town for the pur-
pose could be found in this par
than Wolf Point He argued a list
of advantages offered by this
town, including the opportunity to
broadcast advertising from station
KGCX, which will soon be opened
by the Westland Oil Co., and the
Sherman Hotel with its commodi-
Gus Palm room.
Mr. Coffey just received a let
ter from Butler Bros advising
that the four cities picked by them

DRY WINDY WEATHER

The rains of the early part OF
June quit short off and an unusual
amount of wind and hot weather
took their place. The combination
of the two has been bad for the
wheat the last week. How much
damage has been done depends on
the weather from now on. Cooler
weather and a few good showers
would work wonders. The crops
on the higher land, well back
from the river, are said to be in
much better condition than those
close to town. Reports from trav-
elers say the dry condition pre-
walls over several states. 1t is
corn weather here and one field
beginning to tassei is reported.
