Must Answer Charges
Before District Court
and His Friends Have Hard Time Getting Bonds
men, Despite District Court Reduction to $780,; Salisbury
and Taylor Influence Waning

The much talked about prelimin-
airy hearing of Mig Collins, who was
arrested January 18th, on a charge
Of giving intoxicating liquor to a mi
nor, met with sudden ending when
Paul Babcock, one of Nig's attorn-
eys appeared before Justice of the
Peace f. f. Belanski and waived pre-
liminary examination for his client,
and Judge Belanski promptly bound
the defendant over to District Court
for trial at the next term which will
be held sometime this coming spring.
The hearing on the other felony
charges against Mig Collins, as well
as the charges against Frank j.
Fishbeck has been set for 2 P. n.
Feb. LIST.
Court Refuses Salisbury as Bondsman
On Thursday Of last week, after
the notorious Collins was arrested on
additional felony warrants, he was
remanded to the County Jail in de-
fault of $4,000 bail. Rodney Sails
bury, our ex-sherif together with
Hank Krebsbach offered to go his
bail but Judge Belansh refused to
accept their bonds as sufficient. Rod
ney insisted that he could easily
qualify, claiming he was worth more
than the $4,000, but the Court did not
agree with him. Salisbury, to show
his loyalty to his boon companion Mig
Collins, then rushed to the office of
Grant Blackwell, our County Attor-
ney, and insisted that he be permit
ted to sign this 100000 bond, and
practically demanded the County At
torney to request the Justice of the
Peace to accept Rodney as a good
and sufficient surety. Again he met
with defeat, as the County attorney
refused to either recognize our
doughty ex-sherif as a man wealthy

TURKEY DINNER AT
Hi CONC. CHURCH

A dollar dinner for sixty-fve cents
is the inducement which the men of
the Congregational Church are using
to entice all in P~lentywood who are
endowed with a sense of apprecia-
ton of what is good for the palate to
attend the big turkey dinner which
they are serving Thursday in the new
Social hall. Besides the sumptious
feed there is to be good music on the
side and an abundance of good fellow
ship. The doors will be opened at
$50 p. M and will not close until
everyone is fully satisfied

$500 TRAIN SERVICE
BEGINS AFTER HALT

The residents along the 500 line
were pleasantly surprised by receiv-
ing freight, express and mail two OF
three days during the past week,
when the railroad was opened up for
traffic a week ago today.
The track has since that time been
showed in again and again. At last
reports the eastbound passenger
train was at Dooley and the snowplow
was informed for another spell, about
| three miles east Of that town.
A Ingwalson Of Crosby, head Of the
~Ingwalson stores has been making
and cancelling dates with managers
of the Medicine Lake, Taxville and
Redstone stores to meet with him at
| the local store here, for the past two
or three weeks. On Tuesday he was
confident of getting through, and or
dered these store managers to be
here, which they promptly did, only
to receive a phone order that there
would be no train until today, when
he would again try the passenger SER
vice over the 500 line from Crosby
to Raymond
That such conditions should ex-
ist is a deplorable fact. Just where
the blame lies is hard to say. There
! is more snow along the Great Nor
| thern extension from Scobey to
| Opheim than there is along the
Whitehall branch of the 500 line, but
the snow pillow makes a daily round
trip between Scobey and Opheim and
so far have succeeded in keeping the
| train service uninterrupted.

TAXPAYERS LOYAL
RETURNS INDICATE

In spite of hard times, the taxpay-
ers Of Sheridan County have been
very loyal in paying their taxes for
the current year of 1929, according to
Albert HOLMAN, County Treasurer
who reports a total collection OF
$278, O82.49, as compared with 1920,
522.O1 for the current tax year OF
1923. County delinquent taxes fol-
country real estate amounted to
$52, 1868, AZ; City delinquent real es-
tate, $8,462.4O; County Personal
delinquent, $2521.51 and City person
ell delinquent $831.91.
The total County personal prop
erty tax amounted to more thar
$38, 100000 and the amount paid was
so large in proportion to the usual
large delinquent list that the State
Board at Helena wrote Mr.. HOLMAN
a very complimentary letter on his
success in the collections for this
item.
The two years cannot be compared
favorably, as 1923 was a bumper
crop year for this country and grain
prices were better than in 1925
when we got less than a third OF ar
ordinary years crop.
In addition to the above Mr.. Kohl
man reports approximately $35,0OO.O(
additional collections for 1923 ant
prior years delinquent taxes, which
speaks we'll for the revived confidence
of the taxpayers since the present
administration took charge.

enough in unmortgaged assets to sign
such a bond or any other bond for
that matter.
Business Men Refuse to Sign Bonds
The Mig Collins Rodney Salisbury
Producers News gang then made a
desperate attempt to get a few Of our
business men to sign the $4,000
bond, and at every turn met with re-
fusal. These business men "knew
their onions by not wanting to i'm
pair their credit or get their names
involved with that of the notorious
prisoner through undesirable pub
licity, and indicated plainly by their
attitude that they did not consider
Nig's friendship or business of suf-
fcien value to sign a $4,000 bond for.
him; some of them also indicated that
they did not consider it a good moral
risk.
Sends For Charlie Taylor
After all attempts by Rodney and
the Collins Producers News gang to
get bonds, a hurried telephone call
was made for Charlie Taylor at Far
go to come back and help them out
OF this mess by getting Mig out of
jail through his pull" Charlie
cane back promptly on Friday, but
did not indicate he liked the mess
that had been cooked up while he
was gone. He Immediately proceed
ed to tell a few lies and help defame
the three high school girls who were
the victims that were lured to Nig's
chicken ranch, by giving their names
to the public through the columns Of
the Producers Moose.
Gets Habeas Corpus Writ
Again finding that Taylor was
helpless in getting Mig out of jail,
his attorneys Paul Babcock and r. w.
Greer, on Saturday morning filed a
petition for a writ of habeas corpus,
which vas returnable the same af-
ternoon. After these attorneys had
made their plea for a reduction of the
bonds before Judge S. E. Paul, the
Court granted a reduction to $500
| but intimated that such bonds and
bondsmen must be gilt edge, and
would not tolerate or consider any
thing else.
Considerable criticism Of the
Courts decision to reduce these bonds
have been heard on our streets, but
we have faith in our Courts and we
believe that such criticism came from
overzealous citizens who believe that
this defendant should be held under
the heaviest bonds possible, and not
permit him any liberty until the de-
mands of society is satisfied.
Bondsmen Still Scarce
J Ellen Johnson, Nig's housekeeper
at the Chicken Ranch" then tried
her hand at getting bondsmen, and
hotfooted it around Plentywood but
found the business men wary. The
Salisbury-Nig Collins Taylor trium-
| virate together with their d~windling
followers, decided to rope in a couple
| of farmers for Nig's bail, but so far
have not found anyone willing to risk
Mig rs security for a $4,000 guaran-
tee that he will appear for a Court
hearing or trial.

are going from bad to worse for his

in Moscow to leave soviet Russia as
a protest against recent communis-

day the charge d'affairs and all 9TH
ers in the embassy personnel were
directed to quit the Russian capital,
"as an act of protest"
Senior Estrada, in handing out the
written statement to the press, made
no mention of the status Of the Rus
sian minister to Mexico. The state
ment said that Mexico does not hold
any of the countries, where the DEM
o~nstrations occurred, responsible for
the happenings.
The foreign minister refused to
amplify the written notice, and Alex

so declined comment of any sort

CENTRAL TAKES
CLOSE CONTEST
FROM BRAWLEY

Four hits in row by Price, Kun
ishima, Wynnc and r. Ehmke off
the delivery OF Relief Pitcher Falls,
enabled Central Union to come from
behind, tie the score and win out
in a whirlwind finish last Saturday
against Prawley Hi, on the local dia-
mond. The final score was to q.
1t looked for time as if Braw-
ley intended to make n walk-away
of the game, for with their star
twirler, Westgard, who has had the
Indian sign on the local ball tossers
tor the past two seasons, working in
his usual form, his mates piled up a
80 lead by the third inning. West
gard showed signs of weakening
however, and El Centre gathered in
marker in the fifth, another in the
sixth and 5 in the seventh to knot
the score. Brawley pushed one over
the plate in the eighth to take the
lead again and with Relief Pitcher
Falls knocking 'em over, it looked
as if the day would end with a
Brawlev victory. Westgard found
the going too rough in the seventh
and was removed in the hope that a
fresh twirler would take the fight
out of the local boys. He did-for
gust one inning, for in the ninth, as
noted above, the head of the list pol
ished up their old bludgeons and the
game was in the bag. When Kun
i3tiima scampered in from third with
the winning run on r. Ehmke s hit,
there were no outs, and the boys
could probably have run up few
more markers had they been needed.
Wynne, with 3 hits, and Price,
Kunishima and Ted Ehnke were the
leading hittcrs for the locals, with
lonors for Brawley going to Palm
ouist and Falls. The pitchers for
both teams put up "A good brand of
york, especially Westgard, who un-
til he blew up in the seventh. had
tanned / and issued no bases on
balls. Ehmke struck out 5, but gave
the same number free transporta-
ion to first Falls struck out ., and

MANY UPSETS in
MAJOR LEAGUES
TRAINING GRIND
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff correspondent

NEW YORK, Mar. 81. UP)-Two
weeks from today the 1880 major
league baseball season will open
with a preliminary game between
the Red Sox and Senators at Wash
ington.
After this game before President
Hoover and other celebrities on
April IA, the remainder of the major
league clubs will swing into action
the following day.
Many strange things have happen
ed at the training camps this spring:
The Chicago Cubs, National league
champions, lost three straight games
to Pittsburgh before they finally
won Sunday, 1871.
The World Champion Philadelphia
Athletics have been able to win only
six out of Is exhibition games
against the Cardinals, Braves, Reds,
Phillies and Robins. The Braves
took four out of five from the Ath-
letics.
A number of young players ap-
pear to have won regular jobs.
Among this group are Allen (Dus-
ty) Cooks and Ben Chapman, both
from st. Paul, who have been named
by Manager Bob Shawkey to start
the season in left field and third
base, respectively for the New York
Yankees.
Smead Jolley, San Francisco out
fielder, has made good with the Chi
cago White Sox as also has his team
mate, Gus Suhr, hard hitting first
sacker. Valley Berger from the Los
Angeles Pacific Coast league has
also shown up well.
One of the big surprises is the
great playing of Barney Fribcrg,
who threatens to crowd captain
Fresco Thompson off his regular
place at second base with the Phil
lies. Friberg, who has played prac-
tically every position with the Phils,
apparently has found his real posi-
ton at last and has temporarily
been named to start the season at
second, in place of Thompson, who
was holdout and late in reporting

RED HOT BOUT
TO HEAD CARD
FRIDAY NIGHT

Paprika, chill, tobasco and all the
other hot stuff that can be thought
Of, is due to be dished out in the
i cal arena Friday night, when Joe
Percgrina, who has succeeded Bert
Colima as "King of Mexico,' meets
Johnny Grella in the main event at
the Imperial Valley Athletic club.
Joe is no bust. He is twofisted
rarin' tearin' fighter, who makes
the older fans think of the way the
original Joe Rivers and Aurelio
Herrera used to do their stuff some
two decades ago, even though he is
middcweight, where 5he other two
boys were in the lightweight divi-
sion.
Whatever can be sad about Pere-
grina, and there is ,lenty to say,
also goes for Grella, tie Fresno TIA
Fan, who has met AceHudkins, Coli
ma, Joe Roche and other leading
nlddleweights. He and Peregrina
slugged toe to toe fr 10 rounds at
Fresno few monthsiago and while
Peregrina got the ecision, there
| vas plenty of doubtas to just who
should have had thenod.
Since the Fresno .racas the boys
lhave been anxious to get together
again and they get heir chance Fri
day night Both ma are signed up
certain sure to apear, and unless
some accident happns in the mean
time, the fans are cling to see real
red hot fight, sucd as only comes
along once in vile.
Backing up this top-notch main
event is 4 six rou-d semi final be-
tween Sammy Sa,tos and Homer
/ Gains. Sammy has nocked out John
nv Adams and ha beaten some of
the best boys in tie game. He is
hard puncher and ikes it best when
the going is the rughest. Gaines is
so well known tn: it is not neces-
sary to say anything about him.
Homer has bee fighting like a
panther in his las few appearances
here, and the coleed boy is bound
70 get some placdn the ring if he
/! keeps up his presnt style.
Two slugging iatches will open
the card, the pr,cipals to be an
