1t makes Mutt laugh and
laugh to see the beer parlors
running wide open at Brush
Lake all this hot, record
breaking summer. The wealth
er surely was a boost to the
parlors. It's an i'll wind that
does not blow anyone some
good. Well it blew a lot of
spondulicks into the jeans of
"Anhauser' Grier and his
chums. Corporal Winters
never bothers nor Waddell an

Madsen, never molests. There
the joint runs, night and day,
dispensing cheer by the case,
crowd athirst at the tables,
yard full of autoes any old
time, cash register playing a
tune like an electric piano
and nary a disturbance by our
county authorities. 1t makes
one blink to visit Medicine
Lake, Reserve or Outlook and
some other places in the coun-

wide open. It puts one in

al Winters of the border pa

if they wanted to, and they
don't wtnt to because it inter-
feres with business or poll
tics. When Teddie Winters
comes to PIenJywood and gets
some and don't get others its
because the others got the tip
when Teddie left Scobey. Otto
Waddell does not come over
here often because he works
with Teddy and this is Ted
! dy's territory. Waddell's ter
ritory is along the high line
from Havre east to the Dako-
ia line, including Glasgow and
the Missouri river bottoms
where the Creighton Brothers
operate. These officers know
all about these things, because
Mutt has called their attention
to it time and again. They
all read squirrel food.
