MARTIN OLSON Sue
CUMBS FROM STROKE

Martin j. Olson Of Plentywood,
who was stricken with paralysis last
Thursday died at the Memorial hos
pital the following day. The remains
were removed to the Fulkerson-Nel-
son Mortuary and funeral services
were conducted Tuesday with Rev.
A. M. Egge Of the Plentywood Lu-
theran church officiating. The body
was laid to rest in the Plentyvo God
Lutheran cemetery.
Very little is known about Martin
Olson's past history. He "a born
in Norway and was 46 years old at
the time of his death. He came to
Sheridan County in 1915 and home
steaded in the Westby territory.
Several years ago he suffered a
stroke of paralysis which rendered
him physically unable to work, and he
came to Plentywood where he has re-
sided ever since. He is survived by
one cousin, Mrs. Nordhagen of West
by.
Martin Olson, despite his crippled
condition, was always cheerful and
carrying a smile in spite of his pain
and helpless condition, as he hobbled
his way about Plentywood.
His last years were not rosy with
future prospects. Smilingly he faced
the dread prospects that he would al
ways be a cripple and smiling he met
his Maker.
In crossing the Great Divide, Mar
tin has met peace from pain and
gone to his Just reward.

MOVE MADE TO
TIGHTEN DRY
ENFORCEMENT
Departments Permission Must
Be Asked Before Drop
ing Cases

Washington-Federal district at
torneys have been instructed to COM
ply with an order OF 1922 which re-
quired that department permission
must be asked before any cases, in
GLIDING prohibition prosecutions, are
nolle pressed.
The move was looked upon as the
governments latest step in its an
nounced intention to tighten up en-
forcement of the dry laws.
The instructions to the district at
torneys, sent out in the form Of a
letter, pointed out that all applica-
lions for permission to nolle PROSE-
prohibition cases must be accompan-
led by the views of the representa-
tive of the prohibition department
who is attached to the district attor-
ney's office which makes the applica-
tion.
While the letter to district attorney
warning them against dismissal of
cases without permission from the
department of justice went out over
the name of Attorney General Mitch
ell, it was said at the department to-
day that the document had originated
in the prohibition enforcement sec
ton of the department, G A. Young
quist was said to have asked the at
fnrnnu nonnr,l fa 4pl.n ,nt.1,, A.
subject after looking over the records
of recent pending prosecutions.
1t was further stated at the depart
ment that the order would relate to
all criminal procedure though it was
conceded that prosecutions in enforce
ment Of the Volstead act were the
most numerous to come under its
provisions.
Under the procedure now being
followed, district attorneys, who have
desire to drop prosecution in any case
must request authority from Mr..
~Youngquist or his representatives in
the department of Justice before do
ing so.
The prohibition enforcement section
of the department of justice when
such requests for the dropping of a
prohibition prosecution is represented
invariably asks the opinion of the
prohibition unit Of the treasury de-
partment.
1t was declared, however, that the
final decision as to the maintenance
or vacation of a given prohibition
prosecution would be kept entirely in
the department of justice.

COMMANDMENT UPHOLDS
Neutrality-suspicious. Admiral Fred
erick c. Billiard, c~ommandant of the
coast guard, said Sunday night that
the. coast guard "means business
about matter of stopping liquor
smuggling and that if rum runners
elect to defy orders to halt they run
"a serious risk of getting hurt"
"The coast guard has the job of
stopping liquor smuggling at sea-

job that can be handled with soft
words and amiable gestures. The
coast guard is used to carry out any
order given it to do, with vigor and
determination.
at means business about this mat
ter and acts strictly within the law.
If a smuggler elects to defy the COM
mand of a coast guard raft to stop,
he runs a serious risk Of getting
hurt through course of action that the
law has specifically authorized for a
hundred years"

FIRE LOSS
WAS 100000

II. II. Alair Of Great Falls, repre-
senting the Insurance Adjustment
Bureau, was in Outlook the first of
the week, in Connection with the dis
asrous fire loss that occurred there on
the evening Of December 23rd. when
the Security State Bank and kahle's
Hardware store was destroyed by
fire.
Mr.. Alair stated that after a com
plete check-up it was found tn e to-
tai loss was $4,000 with $4,000
insurance. The loss was complete;
not a thing saved, except the con-
tents of the bank vault. Mr.. Alair
stated that as near as could be as
certained, the fire started from a
defective flue in the hardware store.
Plans are underway to rebuild as
500 as weather conditions permit,
and the new building will be of brick
but made absolutely fire proof. Ma
terial will be obtained and everything
will be in readiness for the work to
start as early in the spring as pos
sible. The front brick wall which
toppled into the street on Christmas
day weakened the other three walls,
so that in spite of bracing, it became
necessary to remove them, which was
done in short order by topping them
inwards.
AS stated in last weeks Herald,
the bank Immediately reopened for
buiness in the building directly across
the street and which has been oc-
cupied as the Outlook p~ostoffice for
sometime. The postofrice moved
back into its old quarters inmedia-
tely.
We are glad to know that these
business firms will rebuild which
shows their faith in Outlook and
Sheridan County's future.

lean White, American Blue, New Zea-
land Red and the White Flemish are
the most extensively bred in the
United States for meat and fur
Another type of the fancy breed is
the Angora Woolers that produce a
finer'an silkier wool than lambs

garments. These Angora Woolers
are clipped three or four times a
year.
The Company above mentioned now
have the Chinchillas and Castorex,
and as soon as suitable buildings can
be erected they will have the differ
ent specie of rabbits together with
the Angora Woolers. They have just
received a Castorex doe that was
imported from Germany at a cost of
$3.50. There is another shipment
coming in this week witch will include
Chinchillas and another Castorex doe.
The remainder of their imported stock
will not arrive until April, as they are
being shipped from Germany and
France and the importers do not want
to ship until the weather gets milder.
All their stock is pedigreed and
registered in the United States and
must come up to the specifications to
pass muster in the American Rabbit
and Cavy Association in the United
States.
Outside of the money making pos
sibilities derived from the fur and
selling Of breeding stock, these rab-
bits command the highest market
prices when sold for meat. AS an H.
l~ustration Of the consumption of this
product the federal bureau cites Los
Angeles, which consumed 81 1000, 00t
worth of dressed rabbit in 1926.
$4,000 Chinchillas being consumed
each week in other different cities or
the western coast. In most place.
rabbits are usually marketed as friers
at 8 weeks of age, when they weigh
about four pounds each. The dressed
carcass, with head and feet off ane
| entrails removed, usually retail fifty
cents per pound.
Everyone interested in the raising
of Chinchilla rabbits or any of ths
above mentioned specie which tn.
North Star will maintain in theil

NEW YEARS wi HOP
is + AFFAIR

The New Years eve dance in Plenty
wood was one of the most orderly
affairs that have been staged at the
Farmer-Labor Temple for years, ac-
cording to some of the regular pa
irons who love dancing. Instead Of
the usual aroma of moon, coupled
with whoopee, made possible through
overindulgence in fire water, this vas
a real stately affair.
Early in the evening the U. S Gus
toms officers made this plain to the
New Years v jewellers, by proceed
ing to search several whom they
had cause to believe might be carry
ing a bottle on the hip. If there was
any bottle toting, it was done away
with mighty sudden when this news
was broadcast to celebrants.
Several were noticed to make 2
hurried exit from the dance floor, and
rushing out to convenient snow
drifts, stopped over for a few seconds
and then stepping back, they appear
ed to mark the spot in their mind
and then return to the dance hall with
mighty gloomy looks. One of the
terpsichoreans, who went home
rather early, made the remark that
the celebration reminded him tot
much of a funeral, and stated if the
Customs officers did not let up or
Plentywood he would have to seek
elsewhere for his dances
The local w C. T. u, hugely en-
joyed themselves for the first time
in many years.

YOUNG SLAYER IS
GIVEN LIFE TERM
IN STATE PRISON
Youth and Grace Of District
Judge Saves Boy From
The Callows

Hamilton-Seventeen year old Will
liam Hogue was in state prison today
by grace Of a district Judge who does
not believe in capital punishment, but
Hogue must spend the rest of his life
behind prison bars. He killed his
employer, Albert Cowan, on Christ
mas day. Probability that the youth
will be transferred to the state in
dustrial school, at Miles City, appear
ed when, after his sentence, he re-
vealed his true age. He said he was
10. His mother, at Anaconda, said
he was born at Spirit Lake, Idaho,
April 9 1912.
HoGue shot and killed Cowan 38,
well to do rancher near Victor, be-
cause he said, of his love for Cow
ans wife. Though Mrs. Cowan was
irresponsible, the youth said he could
not bear to let anyone else have her.
Hardly had a coroner's jury fixed
on him the responsibility for the
shooting than Hogue appeared before
District Judge James M. Self, waived
all privileges and asked that sentence
be pronounced.

NORTH-STAR RABBIT ASSOC.
TO OPEN RABBITRY HERE
To Specialize in Raising C%hinchillas, Castorrex ane
Angora Whooleys for Fur and Breeding Purposes,
Starting with 100 Hutches

A new company, which will be
known as the North Star Rabbit As
ISOLATION of Plentywood, Montana is
now consummated and they are max
ing extensive plans for building a
large rabbitry on land adjacent to
Plentywood as soon as weather con-
ditions permit. At least three acres
will be fenced in with 8 feet of woven
wire. Long sheds will be built to ac-
commodate 100 hutches; at least so
developing pens will also be built to
properly take care of the young rab-
bits.
Rabbits have been bred for food
and fur in this country for many
years and during this time the meat
of both wild and domestic rabbits has
had a place on the American table
and the pelts have been a staple in
the fur trade. In the western states,
including Montana, rabbits are pro-
duced in great numbers, and the ra-
bit industry is no more considered a
side line, but proves to be one of the
leading industries Of the world. 1t
has long been known that rabbit fur
has been clipped and dyed to initiate
the most expensive of furs, such as
seal, beaver, ermine and others too
numerous to mention, but all the work
is now being done by the rabbit. In
stead Of sitting around eating car
rots and wiggling his nose, he now
has a duty to perform. Scientists
have cross-bred the Chinchilla rabbit
until we now have the Castorrex rab-
bit which produces a beautiful brown
fur, similar to plucked beaver. The
Seal Rex is SO near genuine that it
would take an expert to detect it from
the real Northern Seal. The same is
true of the Ermine Rex, Squirrel Rex,
and Castorrex without the work of
clipping and dyeing.
Successful rabbit raising requires
good stock, good management and
good organization, according to d. M.
Green of the United States Biologi-
cal survey, who has made a special
! study of the industry.
Healthy, vigorous animals are
necessary as a foundation. Good
management, which includes breeding
feeding, housing and marketing is es-
~sential if a substantial profit is to be
made.
! There are Is breeds of domestic
rabbits recognized by the National
Rabbit federation as being distinctive
in type. In some instances there are
several varieties of breed, alike in
size and type but with a wide range
of color. These breeds and varieties
are divided into two separate classes,
or roups known as utility and fan
cy.
The utility breeds, so classed be-
cause of their size and ability to pro-
duce a marketable carcass and a good
pelt during a reasonable feeding
period, are besides the above named
varieties, American, Checkered Giant,
Flemish Giant, New Zealand and
French Silver.
The fancy breeds, which are kept
principally for show purposes, in
