George E. Bolster
Files For Assessor

George E. Bolster, the pioneer set
tier on the land which most of Plen-
tywood is built upon, comes before
the public seeking the Office of County
Assessor on the Republican ticket.
Mr.. Bolster has always been a public
spirited citizen and has always been
a booster for Sheridan County. He
held office as Justice of the Peace in
Plentywood for several terms. Two
years ago he was requested to run
for the office of assessor on the DEM
ocratic ticket and in spite of the fact
that Mr.. Bolster was the candidate
against Ole Aspelund who ran on the
Republican ticket he lost out by less
than one hundred votes. Mr.. Aspe-
lund has not indicated his intentions
to seek this office again this year.
If George Bolster is elected county
assessor he pledges himself to give
the taxpayers an honest administra-
ton with a full day of service every
working day of the year, and to keep
down expenses to the minimum, and
without giving anyone any especial
favors but will treat all taxpayers
alike.

A. 7. Larsen Files
For Representative

A T. Larson of Antelope is seeking
the votes of the Sheridan County ell
ectors with a promise that if he is
elected as State Representative he will
work for the reduction of the extor-
tionate gasoline prices now being
charged the public in this territory,
and also that he will use his best
efforts to get the Federal government
to designate the highway from West
by to Plentywood as a Federal pro-
ject and to get funds for the com
pletion of same to connect with North
Dakota highway No. 5 at Westby; he
also says that it will become neces-
sary to complete the Regina-M Mex
lean highway across Sheridan Coun-
ty as the Canadian provincial gov
eminent have opened the road to the
boundary line north Of Raymond and
are making a first class highway for
the travelling public, and that to
complete this will be only necessary
to build from Plentywood to the boun-
dairy line, at which point it will con-
meet with the State road from Gull
bertson to Scobey and which he says
should be completed in another year
if sufficient representation is made
for its necessity, which he assures us
will be one of his endeavor if elected.

ENGINE FOR

FOR CITY PROJECTED

The following is a rate which was
adopted at the last meeting of the
city council which will materially re-
duce the cost Of the water to the cit
liens, if enough water has been used
as to keep the income great enough
to make the proposition profitable.
The firts 100 cubic feet at $500.
Next 600 cubic feet at Soc per 100
cubic feet.
Next 1900 cubic feet at 30c per 100
cubic feet.
Excess zoe per 100 cubic feet.
Minimum consumption per month
100 cubic feet, or minimum charge of
$500.
This rate is somewhat in line with
the present rate in that it maintains
the minimum charge which has been
changed from 1920 to $500. The bal
lance up to consumption of approx
mately 700 cubic feet will make the
bill $500 per month. We believe that
TOO cubic feet is the average water
consumption for each home in Plen-
tywood. Comparing this with the old
rate, you will notice that the bill for
700 cubic feet is reduced COO.
You will then notice that a consum-
ton of 1000 cubic feet will cost your
customers $500 as compared with
$11.65 in the old rate. We believe
that this is enough reduction in the

check for $4,000 last November, oozed
into Plentywood sometime last Sun
day. Monday morning when Justice
of the Peace Belanski opened his of
flee the defendant, together with his
attorney A. c. Erickson, appeared and
surrendered to the court. They insist
ed upon their constitutional rights to
plead later on. and obtained a copy of
the criminal complaint.
Judge Belanski set the time for
pleading at 10 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing and placed the senator under
$500 bonds which were promptly fur
nished by Hans Rasmussen and Mar
vim E. Hill and the defendant there
upon released.
Promptly at 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning the state senator and the
ex-County attorney appeared in Court
and Erickson Immediately demurred
to the criminal complaint on the
grounds that it did not constitute a
criminal cause Of action. County at
orney Blackwell objected to this, stat
ing that the complaint did constitute
a cause of action. Blackwell also
handed the court a notice of the nom
payment of the check which was
served upon Taylor Immediately and
after, being read by him he said he
admitted service of the notice.
Some arguing between council arose
at that time as Erickson maintained
they now had five days time in which
to make good the check and that in
that event the last would be dropped.
Blackwell argued against this stating
the apparent crime had still been COM
mitted and the service of the notice
was a mere matter that the law re-
quires must be complied with. At
this point Taylor started talking, or
rather roaring at the top of his voice,
altho no one was hard hearing in Bel
anski's office. Blackwell then informed
Taylor that inasmuch as he had an
attorney present that he would be al
lowed to do the talking, and Taylor
replied that he had a right to argue
his own case in any court in the land,

itical persecution and no one had been

The Past Weeks

The bountiful rains which started
last Sunday is soaking into the ground
very fast. The hard northeast winds
which blew most of last week appear
ed rather discouraging except that the
weather remained cool all of the time.
Sundays precipitation measured 70
inchs and since that time local show
ers scattered in many parts OF the
county has increased this to at least
two inches. On Monday afternoon
rain fell in torrents in the Raymond
territory and also south from An
telope to Homestead and throughout
the Westby territory. In the vicinity
of Raymond the rain fell so hard that
some of it was carried away instead
of soaking into the ground.

To RIVER
IN RUM HUNT

A 35-year-old negro, known as
Peppers" last night found him
self confronted with problem
similar to the proverbial devil
and the deep blue sea-" He chose
the "sea" and today is enjoying
freedom.
1t all started when Detectives
Robert j. Barrett and A. D.
Brown, of the Fourth precinct,
raided the colored mans home in
the 900 block Lettie st. S. W.,
searching for liquor and Pep
perS." The quest revealed two
pipts Of corn, and also revealed
the fleeing form of Pepper"
through the rear of the house.
The detectives set out afoot
after the fugitive. The race led
to the old E. Madison Hall ex-
cursion steamer wharf at the foot
Of Seventh Street southwest. AS
the "law" was closing in on him,
Peppers" was forced to make his
decision and he executed a fancy
dive into the Potomac.
The Fire Rescue Squad was
called for fear the Peppers" may
have drowned. But later investi-
cation revealed that the fugitive
is strong swimmer and prob
ably made the Virginia shore.
