Bootlegger Blows In;
Nabbed, Blows Out

As usual, when a crowd ome to
Plentywood, has to try and
get as much Of the spare change as
possible.
Arnold Blair drifted back to Plen-
tywood from North Dakota the day
before the circus arrived, and pro-
ceeded to stock up a little shack near
the circus ground with beer and a
little moonshine. Arnold has been on
the police blotter before this time, and
Chief Collins suspected the young
fellow was up to some trick or other,
so together with Customs Inspector
Ted Winters proceeded to locate his
hideout, and when they approached
the shack the cry was heard "Here
comes the cops" and Immediately
about twenty fellows rushed out of
the building and made themselves
scarce. Blair was caught with II bot
ties of beer and a small quantity of
moonshine whiskey in a half pint bot
tie. He was arrested and together
with wet goods, brought before Police
Judge George Wheeler and charged
under the city ordinance with main
tanning a nuisance, to which he
promptly plead guilty.
The court taking into consideration
that he had only $1,000 imposed a fine
of $500 and gave him a sixty day
suspended sentence on good behavior,
with the further admonition that he
cease a%sseciating with a couple Of
other 'would-be scofflaws' or he
would have to serve the sixty days.
The fine was paid and Arnold Blair
learned that the law has come to Plen-
tywood to stay.

SUSPECTED CHICKEN
THIEVES ARE NABbED
IN RAYMOND VICINITY.
Trio Plead mot Guilty" To
Charge; Trial Is Set For
Monday, July 9TH

Mrs. Grace MCGOWAN found her hen
roost had been raided sometime ago.
She raises black Minorcas and there
is only one other party in the Ray
mond vicinity that has black Minorcas
so she started on a hunt in the vicin-
ity, and on June 9th found her
nine black Minorca hens at the Henry
Clay Jack Van) farm. She also found
a number Of other hens which she
readily identified. 1nasmuch as Jack
Van bears an unsavory reputation
having allegedlv been connected with
a number Of offenses, and also sus-
pected of knowing what has become
Of various kinds of stock, chickens,
turkeys, pigs, ETC., she came to Plen-
tywood and enlisted the aid of Sheriff
Madsen who went with her to the
Jack Van place and the sheriff then
asked Clay (Jack Van) where he had
obtained the chicken. He informed
them that the chickens had been brot
there by Tom Dubry to whom he had
traded a 1920 Winchester for them.
From the Jack Van place Sheriff
Madsen and Mrs. MCGOWAN went to
the Kennedy ranch where Tom Dubry
and Henry Olson were digging rock.
Upon quizzing Dubry he informed
them he had gotten the chickens from
his mother and merely left them with
Jack Van so that he could get a fry
whenever he wanted one He did not
mention having received a Winchester
for them.
Henry Olson who has alleged to
have been involved with Jack Van in
various transactions" stoutly main
tanned his innocense, in spite of the
fact that information had been OBJ
tanned from a third party which con
meets him up with the transactions.
On June 9th the trio appeared
before Justice Belanski, and all plead
not guilty. Their trial was set for
Monday, June 23rd, and each placed
under S250.00 bonds.
Jack Van is one of Mig Collins
bondsmen on his appeal to the Su-
preme Court.
The trio were unable to get bonds
until Saturday evening, June l4th al
tho it is reported that A. c. Erickson
worked diligently in their behalf.
They were released that day, but the
trial in Justice Court was postponed
again until July 7th as "Red" Erick-
son went ON a fishing trip to Mime
sofa.
Red Ericks cultivation of the friend
ship of this class of gentry ripened
throughout his years of county at
torneyship, as he has made the boast
lately that ever now since he lost the
position of county Attorney the
malefactors of this County have
sought his aid in getting out of their
troubles.
This remark on his part shows just
where he stands in the performance Of
public prosecutor-he does not be-
lieve in conviction.
This attitude on his part is why
the gambling and ~bootlegging frater-
nifty wants him elected as County at
torney again.

shooting Of her uncle on April 7th
eliminated l3 years of misery for the
girl who claims that her life was ION
stantly in danger and that when she
did shoot it was Ter self protection.
Nothing SO revolving as the tale she
told the jury has ever been heard by
anyone who attended the trial. She
testified that when only 1G years old
she went to live with her four UNI
married uncles and her grandmother
on the Hass Bonanza farm near Out
look. Her uncle Hugo who was about
10 years her senior is alleged to have
made love to her almost from the be-
ginning and that she finally succumb-
ed to his wiles and desires. She tes-
titled that in the summer of 1917
when she realized her condition, It,
tempts were made to have her SUBJ
NIT to a criminal operation but which
she refused to do. She claimed that
her uncle Hugo induced her to take
three bottles of medicine in order to
relieve her of any suffering, and this
reduced her weight from 200 pounds
to 1875.
No Doctor Called
She told on the witness stand thai
when the child was born on December
18th, 1917 no arrangements had been
made for a doctor or a nurse to be in
attendance, no clothing Of any sort,
not ever a napkin or a safety pin.
That only Grandma Hass and her four
u%ncles, William, Hugo, Bruno, and
Otto were at the house the night the
baby was born. In the birth pains she
lost consciousness. and when she
again awakened, Hugo was sitting on
the bed. She asked where is our
baby?" and Hugo answered "the
thing came but it was dead" He told
her it was n boy and when pressed
to tell what had become of it he told
her he had taken it to Lucy shack,
a building about rs feet away from
the dwelling house. In this building
it was allowed to freeze and it re-
manned in that building for several
months.
Wanda's Father Arrives
Two days after the baby was born
her father Unexpectedly came to the
Hass farm, and fearing that he would
learn about this almost unbelievable
state of affairs, made Wanda get out
Of bed, and placing two empty pals
in her hands, ordered her to go to the
pump, some distance away from the
house, to get water, but altho she tot
tered to the pump, she was so weak
that she was unable to carry any wa
ter. Her father remained at the Hass
farm for more than two weeks, but
during all that time she and her ia
Their were never permitted to talk
about anything; as it was alleged that
at all times they were kept apart.
Secs Baby's Body at Last
Towards spring, after much illness
on Wanda's part and after weeks of
begging, praying and weeping for her
baby son, Hugo at last consented to
let her seethe body, which he brought

Dr. Flagg, an interne at New Britain General hospital, testified that an x-ray examination disclosed a frac- ture of the finger.

She accus- ed him of staying out until the early hours of morning and Proba- tion Officer E. C. Connolly added that he seems to be interested in other women. He generally has a roll Of bills in his pocket, and when his wife asks for money he enjoys pulling out the roll and peeling off a dollar bill, giving 1t to her with a great show of philanthropy.
 Lauretta denied that women oth- CT than his wife concern him. He blamed his wife for the trouble and said she has made a practice of going from house to house among their friends giving him a black reputation.

 app, said the case was one for
 civil courts to decide but Judge raceski said the evidence indicated nat Knapp caused the accident by driving on Walls side of the road.
