GLASGOW, Sept. 23.-Anna Ber-
rigan, Arnot, charged with the muir
der Aug. II of her husband, Jesse E.
Arnot, former Glasgow banker, plea
ded guilty when arraigned before
Judge John Hurry in district court
here Monday afternoon. The trial
likely will be early in November.
Pale and weak, Mrs. Arnot remain
ed seated while making her plea, per-
mission being given by Judge Hurry
upon request of her attorney, George
f. Hurd of Great Falls. Originally
the arrangement had been scheduled
for the morning session of court bat
Attorney Hurd appeared before the
court to ask temporary postponement
of her appearance, saying his client
was too i'll to appear. After hearing
testimoney of Mrs. Arnot's physi ian

on the evidence submitted in the cases
recently wherein Ellen johnson and
S. R. (Nig) Collins were each found
guilty of the above charge and each
sentenced to serve sixty days in the
county jail and in addition to pay a
fine of $1,000 which cases have both
been appealed.
The defense said that in the event
this party was found guilty they
would guarantee that in the case a
suspended sentence was imposed that
this woman would leave the country
within "a hours and to remain away
from Sheridan county for all time to
come. The court found her guilty
and pom her promise to leave this
county for all time, he imposed a
sentence of 80 days, with the proviso
that she be required to serve same if
she returns to this county. We I'M
derstand that she kept her promise
and is now numbered amongst those
whose residence is elsewhere than in
Sheridan county.

No Extensions
To be Granted
On SeedLOQnS

There will be no extensions granted
on the Federal seed loans advanced
to farmers in Montana last spring.
The rumor that has been broadcast
generally that such loans are being
extended are absolutely without any
foundation or facts, according to 0.
M. Ness, Field Agent for the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, who is
now in Sheridan county devoting his
time to making such collections.
Mr.. Ness is very pleased over the
attitude of the farmers of this county
who are meeting their payments be-
fore due date in many instances, and
says that if conditions throughout
northeastern Montana would come up
to what is being done here to meet
these seed loans there would be little
difficulty in collecting the major
part Of the loans.

More Farms in
Sheridan Co.
Census ShOUS

According to the Census bureau,
Sheridan County had five farms more
this spring then in the spring of
1925, but DIG less than in 1920, which
was before Daniels county was Gre
ated from this county and a small
part of Valley county. The total
number Of farms in this county be-
ing 1892 this year. Daniels county
farms dropped from 1920 in 1925 to
901 this spring. Valley county had
2169 farms in 1920 before Daniels

year 1925 and this year has 1882 ac-
tual farms under operation. Roose-
welt county increased ID farms in the
past 5 years.

County Agent work in Sheridan
County has cost about 100000 dur
ing the past eight years. This looks
on the fact of it a tremendous amount
and yet the eight year cost of run
ming a single average Sheridan oun
ty farm, a little grocery store, or
a little district school will equal or
exceed this amount. During the
same period of years, taxpayers of
this county have paid about half a
million dollars a year or all togeth-
er nearly $4,000, 900 for all purposes.
So large are these amounts that only
a close study of the whole subject Of
taxation will reveal the purposes for
which this money is expended.
Sheridans Taxable Property: On
what property have these taxes been
levied? According to the last pub
lished report of the State Board Of
Equalization 1929, Sheridan coun-

over crowded institutions, where re-
lief is a necessity.
Referendum measures 81 would
authorize levying up to three mills
for the support of the six teaching
units of the University of Montana
and their auxiliary activities such as
the grain laboratory, soil survey, eA.
tention service and agricultural ex-
pertinent stations. 1t now takes two
and one half mills of the levy for
state purposes to cover the same in
stitutions and activities. 1t Is not
a new tax but to succeed the levy
voted ten years ago which expires
this year.
Leading Montanans of every polit-
ical faith favor the measures as the
best possible means available to take
care Of the government expenses
they would cover and as making a
more equable distribution Of the lax
alton than any other proposal up to
date.

ROSTAD STORE AT
C0mERTOWN ROBBED
LAST FRIDAY NIGHT
Loss Estimated at $500; For
mer Local Character
Suspected

The Rostad store at Comertown
was burglarized last Friday night,
and the thieves took considerable
booty, consisting of razors, pocket
knives, flash lights, and all jewelry.
They also took all the silk and ladies
hose in the store and helped them
selves to a few pairs of shoes. We
have not ascertained the amount of
the loss which amounts to several
hundred dollars.
Entry had been obtained by break
ing a window in the rear Of the store,
but attempts had been made to break
in both front and back door also.
Some sacks Of sugar had been dump
ed on the floor and it is believed
they used the sacks to fill with the
stolen articles.
The afternoon previous two sus-
picious characters are reported to
have been lettering about Comertown
for some time, and that night people
ICSuiiiliS fpoAeJ ~
south Of Comertown met a coupe
coming from the north which was
travelling at a tremendous speed.
The culprits did not tamper with
the United States post office which
is located in the store, as we under
stand everything was found intact
there.
The Sheriff's office got busy the fol
lowing morning and altho no tangible
clues were found Immediately, we un-
derstand that a lot of stolen booty
has been found at a point about 100
miles from here and Under Sheriff
Smith went there on Tuesday even
ing to investigate the matter. The
articles reported found are said tc
tally closely with what was lost at
Comertown.

LOCAL Man PRESENT

Sheridan county is not to be out
done by the man from Palermo, N.
D., who was at Spitzbergen on the
day the i'll fated explorer and his
small crew departed for the polar re-
gions in the later nineties, as William
Lundeval who has lived in Sheridan
county for the past Is years and now
works on the John Davis ranch, was
also present at Spitzbergen the day
Andree and his crew assembled in a
balloon to go to the polar t%erritor-
les.
Mr.. Lundeval was, at that time, a
soldier in the Swedish army and five
hundred troops had been ordered to
S~pitzbergen to guard King Oscar and
his assembled guests, and also to pro
tect the balloon from being molested
by the many thousands of spectators
who had gathered at that far nor
thern point to see the famous ex-
plorer start on that journey into the
unknown, and which resulted in the
death of all who sailed away.

Cranes In
Westby Vicinity
Are Reported

Up in the territory north of West
by there is a large flock of sand hill
cranes, most of them being found on
the Aaron Eldred farm occupied by
Carl Herein. We were there the
other day and saw two flocks of over
two hundred which were feeding in
the fields in that vicinity. These
large birds are fully protected and as
some people have plans on foot to dig
pits in the fields there in order to
bag some of these birds, dep. game
warden Krost is keeping a close tab
on these birds as well as a number
of swans that have been seer in the
same fields.

LOCAL COMMUNISTS
BLINDLY UPHOLD:
ENCOURAGE RUSS.
Soviet Representatives Here Selling Wheat Short, While
In Europe That Country Is Dumping Millions of Bushels
Daily Gripping Markets at 20 Per Cent Below Cost

Soviet Russia has been selling
wheat short in the Chicago grain pit,
and al investigation is now being
carried on by the Federal Department
of Agriculture, which proves that
such continuous short selling by the
All-Russian Textile syndicate, the So
Wet representatives indicates that
this has had a disastrous result on
the price of grain throughout the
United States. E. V. Relitzky, the
head of this soviet syndicate has adj
mitted that such short selling was up
on authorization of the Russian gov
eminent. 1t is only recently been
discovered that their volume of sales
have become staggering and altho
these foreign officials denied that the
selling had continued for more than
two weeks, it is now quite c%onclus-
i've that such grain speculation on a
huge scale, always selling short, which
is these days of depression, always
depressed the market to a lower price
per bushel, has extended for many
months past The first actual dis
covery of such dealings was made of
sales on September s, 8, 10 and II, at
which time the soviet representatives
said they had made. sales of about
5000, 900 bushels but this has been
found false, as the short settings by
that government those four days
amounted to $500, 900 bushels.
Secretary Hyde of the Department
of Agriculture denied Belitzky's state
ment that the sales could not have
appreciably affected the trend IN the
Chicago market, due to the turnover
of about SO, OOO, 900 bushels per day.
Hyde Sites Figures
"The answer is found in the course
Of prices during the four days COW
cred by the sales so far identified
Hyde said. "Those four days are
September s, 8, 10, IL. On Septem-
Der g., May wheat opened on Chicago
at 80 1-8 or 114 cents above the pre-
vious close. The price dropped during
the day and closed at 96h or on the
bottom and down 2 7-8 cents. Dur
ing the four days the market on
spring wheat dropped from the open
, ing of 80 1-8 to the close on Sept. II
at 90 1-8, a decline of 5 cents. Com
parable declines were registered in all
| the other wheat futures"
This selling Of wheat short by the
Russian government, and which has
been admitted to have been done at
it's orders and instigation, has appar-
antly reduce the grain values to ev-
cry farmer in the northwest, and it is
remarkable that we have people in
in our midst who is boosting for Rus
STA at all times, when at the same
time they are actually cutting off
their noses to spite their own faces.
On Tuesday cable reports from
Liverpool to the Winnipeg grain ex-
change stated that the Russian gov
eminent had commenced delivery of
millions of bushels of wheat daily,
and the price of which this grain was
being offered was 20 per cent below

Governor j. e. Erickson will
accompany Walsh on part of his
speaking honOrs with Walsh
while in PlentywoOd, as well as
Glasgow, Scobey, Sidney and
Glendive. The Senator's daugh-
ter, Mrs. Emmett c. Gudger, will
accompany him on the entire trip.
1t is expected that the Sheridan
County Democratic Committee
will make arrangements for the
reception of these two noted Of
ficials during their stay here.
