Fishbeck Is Given
Suspended Sentence
On Assault Charge

Frank ]. Fishbeck was arrested
Saturday on a complaint issued
out of the Justice court of E. E.
Belanski, charging assault on Eu-
genie Garneau at the so-called
Chicken ranch" on January II,
last, at the time of the famous
episode, when frankie Fishbeck,
Stanley Palubicki and "Nig" Col
Inns took Eugene Garneau, Dolores
Pickett and Lucille Wright, three
high school girls out for a dancing
party. The warrant was dated
March 31st, but was not served
until April 10Th, for some reason
or other.
Fishbeck, upon arraignment,
pleaded guilty, and received a
jail sentence Of 90 days in the
county Jail which was suspended,
and a fine of SIS, which was paid.
It is understood that Judge Be
lanski sentenced Fishbeck, accord
ing to the recommendations of
County Attorney Grant Blackwell.
The Producers News understands
that the complaint was signed by
Fred Garneau, the father of Eu-
genie.
The arrest and arraignment was
handled very quietly and secretly.
1t is understood that Blackwell.
smarting under the singing re-
buke administered to him bv
Judge Felt, at the time of the
trial of Fishbeck in District Court.
when he was acquitted by the Jury
for giving liquor to minors, and
the universal disapproval of the
public of the way in which he
handled the case against Fishbeck
before the court, caused him to
bring this action to sort of square
himself.
The Court at the time also rec
commended that some action be
taken against Stanley Palubicki
also but up to date Blackwell has
taken no action in this case. It is
thot probable that Blackwell in
time will have Stanley charged
with malicious mischief and fined
five or ten dollars.
"Nig" Collins, who seemed TO
come into the party incidentally
was prosecuted on a charge of
attempt to commit assault" and
convicted and sentenced to three
years in the penitentiary and fin
ed $4,000. Collins has appealed
his case to the Supreme Court
At the time of the party If
seems that Collins was batchino
at the Chicken RANCH" and thai
place was chosen because there
was a nice place to dance there
with radio and monograph music
It was alleged that Fishbeck
struck the Garneau girl in the face
when she attempted to go to the
aid of Dolores Pickett. But the
evidence rather sustains "Nio"
Collins contention that he and the
Pickett girl were never out of the
kitchen where they were getting a
lunch, when the difficulty arose
between Fishbeck and the Garnean
girl which broke up the party

chen and the dining room where
the other members of the party
were.

WOLF POINT RENDEZ-
VOUS OF THIEVES

Special to Producers News.
Wolf Point, April 23.-Wolf
Point seems to have become a rem
devious of thieves and hi-jackers.
1t is now believed that many of
the bandits who have committed
depredations in the area designat-
ed as Northeastern Montana, head
quarters at or about this city.
There have been more cases of
robbery and rape and arson, and
booze cases in this city than in
any other city of its size in the
Northwest, and one of the pecul1-
ar things about the situation, very
few of the culprits are ever
found. One store here was robbed
three times in one summer. in
fact the merchant was ruined and
had to go out of business. Oil
stations, pool halls, stores and
residences are burglarized every
few days. The gangsters become
more and more brazen with their
successes. Together with this
there is an exceptionally large
amount of moonshining and boot
Logging going on, the Missouri
flats being peculiarly adapted to
activities of this sort. This coupl-
ed with numerous crimes of pas
sion, is giving Wolf Point a very
unenviable reputation and is seri-
ously hurting business.
At the regent city election, a
"Clean Up" ticket was elected by
a huge majority in the hopes of
lettering things here. There is
also strong sentiment among the
people in favor of making several
changes in the law enforcement
offices at the court house.

Mrs. Jens Gronvold
Called to Minnesota
By Mothers D e a t h

Mrs. Jens Gronvold was called
to Fertile, Mimi, last Saturday
morning in response to a wire
conveying the sad information of
the critical illness of her mother,
Mrs. Anders o. Morvig. Togeth-
er with her brother, Melvin Nor
Wig, who has been residing in this
country for some time, left imme-
diately via car for her old home
at Fertile. After they had left,
Jens Gronvold received a second
wire to the effect that Mrs. Nor
Wig had expired late Friday even
ing, but Mrs. Gronvold and her
brother were on their way at the
time and did not learn of the death
until they arrived Saturday night.
The funeral occurred Thursday
in Fertile and interment was made
at the Lutheran cemetery there.
The Morvigs were among the very
earliest settlers in the Fertile
country, coming from Norway
many years ago. Many people in
Plentywood from Fertile knew the
deceased for many years, and 9TH
ers have become acquainted with
her on her visits to the Gronvold
family here.
When Mrs. Gronvold and broth
er Melvin got the news of their
mothers condition, they left early
Saturday morning. Out on the
blue trail near the Swanson farm
the car broke down. They hailed
ride to town and borrowed Rod
ney Salisbury's Buick and started
again, arriving, at Fertile Satur-
day night, being sixteen hours on
the road, making a record run.
Mrs. Gronvold will remain sew
eral days with her father before
returning to Plentywood.

Sidney Boy Killed In
Motorcycle Accident

Wharton Schon, 10 years old boy,
whose parents reside on a farm
near Sidney, was killed Sunday af-
ternoon when he ran into a trac-
tor in the yard at the Murray
farm, about ten miles west of
Homestead in Roosevelt county.
The young man was riding rap
idly on his motorcycle, when over
taken by a cloud of dust raised by
the high wind Sunday evening, and
being unable to see because of the
dirt run head-on into a tractor
standing in the road. The boy
was badly mangled and lived only
a few hours. The motorcycle was
demolished.
The funeral occurred at Sidney
Wednesday afternoon.

yesterday while the conmoner, Santi-

Of Spanish royal privileges along the
lines of the Belgian and British
monarchies.
The interview has been the subject
of considerable rumor and speculation
for weeks, during which time it was
said that King Alfonso, en- route to
England, would stop of in Paris ex-
preSsly to hear what the former
premier might say.
Some have considered that important
events in Spain awaited the outcome
of the meeting Of the monarch and
the statesman and that there was
even possibility of resignation of the
Berenguer government, to be replaced
by a Liberal ministry, headed by Alba,
or by a Liberal coalition ministry.
After the interview Alba issued a
communique, which he said had been
approved by the King, saying that he
himself was averse to taking the
premiership so long as the present
incoherence and confusion obtain in
Spain" But he emphasized his de-
sire to forget personal quarrels and
differences of opinion in the common
work of restoring Spain to demo-
cratic form of government"
