where a barn dance was in pro-
gress. 1t is reported that moon
shine was available in abundance.
In fact, a Producers News repre-
sentative is advised, on what he
believes is reliable evidence that
whiskey was actually sold over the
counter in the NOW at the barn
where the dance was going on. A
large number of the boys and
girls of tender age were drunk,
and spectacular and vulgar dane
ing was being INDUCED in as a
result of the drunken condition of
many of the dancers. There was
no police supervision of any sort.
Sheriff Hans Madsen was at his
farm, where he spends most of
his time. Undersheriff Robert
Smith was at the dance at the
Farmer-Labor Temple, Plentywood
and Deputy Sheriff Franc Murray
was tucked away in bed at his
home in Plentywood. The con-
stable the County Commissioners
had appointed to police the place
was absent.
1t seems there We're a number of
strangers, workers in the harvest
field, hailing from New Jersey, at
the dance. They had been inbib-
ing the alcohol which they had
secured at the barn. They went
in to the dance floor and started
to dance. They We're noisy and
obscene. When one of the Schultzs
made the rounds to collect for the
tickets, one of the boys refused
to pay. Oswald Schultz grabbed
him and pushed him back toward
the door and was going to throw
him down the steps. Adolph
Scultz, seeing his brother Oswald
was having some trouble, come
bounding out from behind the
lunch counter and placed a well
directed kick in the rioters groins
There was a short pause, at this
stage and some heated words were
exchanged in a loud voice. The
place was bedlam. Adolph went
back of the lunch counter and
picked up a pop bottle, and called
to brother Dave Schultz, who had
appeared on the scene to knock

head with it as he threw it to
