AUTO ACCIDENTS ARE
NUMEROUS DURING
PAST FEW WEEKS
Speeding Seems To Be the
Cause For Every Accident
Recently

About three o'clock Sunday morn,
ing when Joe Lieffring and Francis
Dolin, both Medicine Lake boys, were
returning to their homes from a dance
at the MoCabe barn near Froid, decid.
ed to put on a race which resulted dis
~astrously for the occupants as wei,
as the automobiles.
1t is reported that Young Dolin cut
in ahead Of Joe Lieffring with his cal
and as the Lieffring car was coming
at a terrific speed his car smashed in
to the Dolin car, and practically de-
molished the rear car, throwing the
occupants out of the Lieffring car
Miss Margaret Richardson Of Ante
lope who has taught school south
east Of Reserve this past year, m of
the occupants Of the Lieffring car,
was cut and bruised about the limbs
and was removed to the Plentywood
Hospital for treatment, but left there
Monday morning and is practically
recovered. Young Lieffring was cut
about the forehead from flying glass.
but not of any serious consequence.
Francis Dolin escaped injury but
the tenders and running board on
one side of his car were smashed up
badly.
Another accident occurred Friday
night when Jens P. Olson of Dagmar
tipped his car over in making a SHARP
turn west Of Medicine Lake Friday
evening and he sustained a broken
arm, which confines him to the Mem
orial hospital at this time. His car
was smashed considerably. 1t is re-
ported that he was bringing two girls
from their home to attend the high
school program at Antelope at the
time the accident occurred.
Another smashup occurred Friday
morning when Russell Gray and some
other boys borrowed Martin Stor-
aasli's car here in Plentywood and
while speeding on the Raymond road
west of the Golf Links, one tire blew
out which resulted in the front wheels
jack-knifing and overturning the car
but without injuring anyone.
Speeding was responsible for ev-
eryone of the accidents and might
have resulted in several deaths.
We suggest that a photograph at
tachment be placed in every al and
when the speed reaches 40 miles pei
hour this would automatically start
playing the record Nearer My Coo
to Thee" It might slow them uI
somewhat.

LOFTHUS.SAMPSON
SIGNED FOR MATCH
divide County Journal }

N%N'it~ NONAsy VONA
Jack Sampson, Minneapolis, and
George Lofthus of Crosby have sign
ed a contract to meet in q wrestling
match to be staged at the Divide
County Fair, June 81, according to
announcement made today by Jul
Kamprud who is in charge of arrange
ments.
Sampson issued a challange several
weeks ago and negotiating with Loft
hus were commenced at once with the
result that the two men will decide
the question of wrestling supremacy
at a time when a large crowd will be
present. Included in Simpsons long
list of victories are decisions over
Buck Olson and Henry Ordeman. He
made his headquarters in Wahpeton
for several years and while there was
engaged in a match with Stranger
Lewis for the worlds heavyweight
championship.
Lofthus, who will return from col
lege late this month, is recognized as
the heavyweight champion of North
Dakota and he has the enviable record
of having never been defeated during
his wrestling career. He has faced
the leading grapplers of the North
west, including several listed among
Simpsons opponents, and should ne
be successful in disposing of the Min.
neapolis man he can add considerably
to his already well established repu'
tation.
The match is expected to prove it
self a strong drawing card at the fan
and will doubtless create more thar
county wide attention.

corder and which office he has filled
for several terms past is again a
candidate for that office on the Re-
publican ticket.
Grant Blackwell, present County
attorney has also tossed his hat in
to the ring and will once again seek
the votes Of the electors in Sheridan
County for the privilege of serving as
County attorney for another two
years. He has done more work in
the two years there than all the time
that A.. c. Erickson held that
office from 1920 to 1928. He has
served the public to the best of his
ability and has obtained several con-
victions and through his attitude on
law enforcement, coupled with the
cooperation of the Sheriff, has caus-
ed the gangster element in Sheridan
County to move elsewhere where
pickings are better, as they found as
soon as Grant Blackwell became
County attorney that it was useless
to try and get a stand-in with him
either for money or other consider
ations.
L. J.. Onstad is also seeking the Of
flee Of County attorney on the Re-
publican ticket and it is a foregone
conclusion that if the voters select
him to represent them they will re-
ceive a mighty satisfactory admin
istration as he is a fearless prosecu
tor and one who does not make any
bones about his attitude towards the
outlaw element, and should he be
elected, it is safe to say that the law
will be enforced without fear or IA
vor to anyone. He has filled the 20
sition of County attorney in Sheridan
County before and served the people
to the very best of his ability. It is
a sure bet there will be a lively cam
paign between Mr.. Blackwell and Mr..

Court Given Laugh
One cas- of assault and attempt
to murder brought several laughs
in the court room. Jose Lomeli OF
La Paloma was charged with an
attempt to murder Santos Novarro
and he pleaded guilty. Attorneys
turned to the amusing side OF the
case and Lomeli vas given a two
year suspended sentence.
According TO Lomeli's testimony,
Novarr5 invited him down in a corn
patch to have a drink. They went
into the corn patch and remained
for some five hours. Then, Lomeli
says, Novarro became incensed be-
cause he Uomelij refused to pur-
chase a bottle Of liquor from him.
Novarro struck him. Lcmeli said,
and he in self-defense struck No
varro over the head with q bottle
OF liquor and cut him with the
shattered bottle.
Youth Gets ) Years
Novarro. who confessed to being
drunk at the time, says Lomeli hit
him for no apparent reason.
margarine Ramire, ~i8-year-old La
Feria youth. was given 5 years in
the ~penitentiary for entering the
home Of Herman Straub and obtain
ing a ring Of keys and a pair OF
scissors. He also confessed to steal
ing a pistol from another house. 1t
is likely that this 5-year-sentence
will be reduced by allowing the boy
to plead guilty to a lesser offense
in another case.
