LARGE AMOUNT OF
TAXES PAID IN this
YEAR IS THE REPORT
Nearly a Quarter Million Dol
lars Paid in October
and November

The 1880 tax paying period which
closed December LIST shows a sulpri-
singly large amount of taxes paid this
year when we consider the short
crops and low prices of farm produce.
Out of a total amount of $3.50, 1881
total taxes for both the November
1880 and the May 1881 period, the
huge sum of $196, 1883 in real es-
tate taxes were paid, and in actual
figures more than 70 per cent of the
amount due this fall was actually paid
and the balance was on the taxes
where the parties paid the full am
cunt.
On personal property taxes there
were paid $28,S36.77 or 70 per cent
of the total due. On old delinquent
taxes there were paid in October and
November a further sum of S20,063.-
80, or a grand total of taxes paid in
to Sheridan county this fall of S245,-
624.47. Almost a quarter Of a million
dollars.
County Treasurer HOLMAN is very
pleased over this splendid showing
made by our taxpayers, when so
many were crying hard times, but
as it is usually the case, only those
who failed to pay are the ones who
made the most noise. The others paid
their taxes and said nothing.

Associated Charities
Organize to Help the
Needy in County
All Churches, Civic and Charitable Organizations and all Lod
ges Join in Creating Central Organizations; Copies
Metropolitan Methods

The Associated Charities Of Sheri-
dan county was organized on Monday
evening, at the county library in
Plentywood.
Many plans have been advanced
for taking care Of the needy families
Of this county, as well as such other
charitable cases which must be taken
are of some way.
In past years it has been custom
airy to refer all such cases to u board
Of County Commissioners, but the
time has come when other means be-
came necessary for caring for many
cases where our County Commission
ers could not properly exercise their
authority, and especially since funds
for that source has been very depict
ed.
The organizations which were invit-
ed to participate at this meeting
were the American Legion Post of
Plentywood, Commercial Club, Red
Cross, American Legion Auxiliary,
Lutheran, Congregational and Evan
gelical churches, and also the Catho-
lie church through the Daughters of
America and the Knights of Colum-
bus Lodges, and the following lod-
ges: Sons Of Norway, Eastern Star,
Masonic, A. 0. U. w. and Degree Of
Honor.
Many Of these organizations had
representatives present at this first
meeting, but it has not been fully
completed, but has now been formu-
lated to the extent that the work can
be taken care of with more care and
thoroughness than in the past. Cloth
ing and food will be solicited and ga
thered at the VOTERS building adj
joining the Plentywood Hotel and
will be collected and distributed un-
der the supervision of Henry Lever
enz, as representative of the Ameri-
can Legion. Anyone having shoes
clothing, toys or anything else they
wish to donate, please notify Mr..

it in person just send word and ar
rangements will be made to have il
brot to the Wolters building.

Outlook Wins From
Lake, at Outlook

After trailing 6 to 2 at the end of
the first quarter the Outlook Blue
jays came through with a fighting
finish to defeat the Medicine Lake
squad in a score of 8 to s. The Lake
team failed to score a field goal in
the last, two men being ex-
PEELED from the game for unneces-
sery roughness. Medicine Lake show
ed the classiest basketball of any
team that has appeared on the Out
look floor this year.
The B~luejays exhibited a smooth
passing game, but old Lady Luck had
certainly deserted the Jays. Out of
thirty-four tries the locals were able
to sink only four. Means and screech-
es filled the air as the ball repeated
ly rolled around the rim but dropped
off.
In the second quarter Outlook be-
gan a steady climb until they finally
over took the Tigers and at one time
held a three point lead. Poor basket
shooting and tight defensive work
kept the score low. No player was
outstanding for either team. This
was Outlook's eighth victory in nine
starts.

Flaxville is in the cellar position

which is shown by its z to 8 loss to
Whitehall at Redstone. The strength
Of Comertown is little known as they

From Tree On
Street Xmas Eve

There is a huge Christmas tree err
ected by the business houses, the Am
erican Legion Auxiliary and the Com
mercial Club, at the center of the
business district of Plentywood, be-
tween Noes Barber shop and the Fa-
shion shop.
Candy and peanuts and other gifts
will be distributed there Christmas
eve, and there may also be some bas-
kets for needy families, which will be
distributed under the auspices Of the
Associated Charities.
This is a beautiful Christmas tree
and is Illuminated every night, and
really gives our main street a beauti-
full added touch Of Christmas, which
is needed this year when it looks so
much like we are to have a black
Christmas instead of the usual beauti-
full white ~blanketing of snow.
One block farther south between
the Grand View Hotel and the Or
pheum Theatre another Christmas
tree is being erected by Martin Rein
ertson, proprietor of Martins Dray
line. This is also ~profusely decorated
and will be loaded with candy and
nuts to be distributed Christmas eve
at s~ix-thirty o'clock.
The business places in the two south
blocks have also donated literally to-
wards this latter Christmas tree. We
understand that with these added do
natiins there will be about 400 sacks
Of candy and nuts distributed to the

Former Outlook Man
Gets Freak Deer

WHITEFISH, Dec. 10.-Karstetter
Bros, has mounted a freak head from
a white tail deer for DR.. R. P. Kahle
Of Billings. There were 81 points
mostly on one side, which must have
given the deer the appearance of
walking about with a pile of brush
on it's head. When asked if the 81
points indicated the age of the deer,
Cleve Karstetter replied that that
was not always the rule. The pas
ture had a lot to do with the size of
the horns, he said. Good grazing
meant large and often freak horns.
DR.. R. P. Kahle was formerly To-
Gated at Outlook, and for a time held
the position as county commissioner
of Sheridan County.

In a game replete with thrills from
the first to the final gun the Plenty
wood High School b~asketeers were
nosed out by the Scobey high school
quint, IS to ID on the local court last
Friday evening.
The locals started the scoring with
two field goals but were soon follow
ed by counters by the Scobey ag-
~gregation who held the lead at half
time.
The game was fast and featured by
accurate passing on the part of both
teams.
With but a few minutes to play, the
locals were on the short end of a II
to IA count, when Malcolm Of the local
squad sunk a ringer from the quar-
ter territory to narrow the lead to /
point. A desperate attempt for a fl
nal tally failed.
Scobey played a three game series
with Culbertson, Brockton and Plen-
tywood on the trip and from reports
succeeded in taking the scalps of
them all.
