FORMER SHERIDAN
CO.. RESIDENT SHOOTS
HIMSELF and Wife
Milo Kingsley Kills Wife and
Commits Suicide At Balm
vile

Milo Kingsley, 33 years old, a well
known Sheridan County resident, shot
and killed himself and his wife this
morning at Painville. They had
quarrelled over his drinking which
caused him to lose his position as
manager of the Monarch Lumber
yards there this week. She had
threatened to take their two children
a II year old boy and a 5 year old
girl and leave him, as she had done
several times previously on account
Of his heavy drinking.
Selling an army rifle he shot her
twice, death being instantaneous. He
then turned the gun OF himself shoot
ing below the heart and tearing a
large hole through his body from
which he died about an hour later.
Milo Kingsleys' wife was formerly
Edna Wild of Cooperstown, North
Dakota, where they were married
twelve years ago. In 1922 they NOV
ed to Dooley where he worked for
the Hunter Lumber Co. for three
years, they then moved to Flaxville
where they took up a homestead on
the Reservation, while he worked for
the Egland Lumber Company. They
farmed for some years and moved to
Plentywood a year ago where he was
employed by the Lincoln Lumber Co.
until Christmas time when they NOV
ed to Bainville where he became man
ager for the Monarch Lumber yards
there. Heavy and continuous drinking
caused him to lose his job there, and
being chiGed by his wife, coupled with
financial troubles is alleged to be the
cause of his murder and suicide, and
leaving the two children orphans.
He was well known throughout
this territory, having been a crack
baseball player and much in demand
by the manv baseball teams through
out this vicinity, being considered a
semi-professional player with good
chances to enter the large leagues ex-
cept for his one weakness-liquor.

SWEEPING DRY Law
DECISION RENDERED
BY SUPREME COURT
Rev. Parish Who Spoke Here
In 1928 Sponsored This Dry
Law Interpretation

The sweeping dry law decision of
the United States Supreme Court as
announced by Justice 0. w. Holmes
on May 5, relating to the sale Of bot
ties, barrels, corks and other equip
ment that may be used in the anu
facture Of liquors is being felt all
over the United States, it is said. The
decision was given on an appeal of a
Pittsburgh bottlers' supply business
from forfeiture of its stock, based on
the contention that the Volstead Act
contemplated seizure and forfeiture OF
materials used in the manufacture of
intoxicating liquor.
Seizure is Upheld
Bottles, corks, malt syrups, bottle
caps and other such equipment can be
and are used in manufacture of in
t~oxicants, and the court upheld the
seizure. If such merchandise was Of
fered for sale in such a mode as pur-
posely to attract purchasers who
want them for the unlawful manufac-
tur, the court declared they were
designed for the manufacture and
could be seized.
Local Bottle Stock May Be Cause
When Rev. Ernest C. Parrish Wis
TIED P~lentywood to give the July 18th
Grafton in 1923 he took occasion to
visit the various blind pigs here which
were then operating in full blast, lit
tie fearing any raids as someone al
ways tipped them off before the fed
erals arrived. He also noted the en-
ormous stocks of bottlers supplies Of
fered for sale at various places and
before leaving here he informed sev-
eral members of the American Le-
gion that he would endeavor to have
the Volstead Act interpreted to in
clude the sale of such bottlers sup
plies, and we have been told that he
has worked hard to get the law in
t~erpreted and that he is to a great
extent responsible for the institution
to test this matter out in the highest
courts of the land and can be check
ed back to the conditions that were
permitted in Plentywood when Rod
ney Salisbury was our sheriff.

favorable SO that the program can
be carried through without any fur

LEFT THE SHOVEL?

T. w. Greer objects to people
leaving their shovels in his flow
err garden. He believes that when
; they &C. through taking flower
; bulbs without his knowledge or
: consent they should remove all
: traces of their visit instead of
: leaving in too much Of a hurry
; and forgetting their shovels.
Some of these flower lovers
: who believe they can steal and
: pilfer his bulbs to their hearts
; content got scared out someway
: early Sunday morning and left
: their shovel. He now has it safe
: ly put away and in the Want AID
: column will be found his invita-
ton for the wner to call and
get the shovel, providing he will
: prove the property.
: T. w. says that bulbs stolen
in the spring after they have
started budding will die during
the summer months, and owing to
these flower lovers having taken
most of the bulbs it will not be
necessary to call around at later
" time to get the few remaining
ones, but he does desire that the
" shovel owner come and get it
back.

at Local Hotel
Early Sunday Morning
Quick Work of Fire Depart
ment Checks Fire and Saves
Many Frame Buildings

A disastrous fire occurred at five o.
clock Sunday morning at the Plenty
wood Hotel when it was discovered
the rear end was all in flames. On
the second floor the fire had gained
sufficient Roadway to burn through
the ceiling and it was found that the
east so feet of same was all aflame
also.
The alarm was turned in by the
night waiter in the City Cafe, and
the usual promptness of the fire de-
partment again was brought to the
front. In less than three minutes
from the time the siren was sounded
the boys were connecting the hose to
the MIGRANTS and within ten minutes
time the fire was under control, al
tho water was poured into the struc-
ture for about twice that length of
time in order to be SUR that the fire
was completely out. Four lines of
hose were used. Had the alarm been
sounded five minutes later we would
have had a far different story to
write, as it would have been very dif-
ficult to save the Hotel, Wolters
building or Sorem's grocery
Eight rooms on the second floor
were so badly damaged that it will
be necessary to rebuild. Two rooms
on the first floor were also badly
damaged, altho water was partially
responsible for this damage. The
hallway on the second floor became
one flaming mass in spite of the fact
that it was all plastered. The paint
on the door frames along the entire
hall, which is 100 feet long, is all
blistered from the heat, and the glass
in some Of the doors near the front
of the hall and nearly 1W feet away
from the fire is broken from the in
tense heat.
Mrs. Hunt Warns Occupants
Mrs. Hunt awoke shortly before the
alarm was sounded when she heard
a peculiar roaring sound coupled with
sounds Of something dropping, which
was later thought to have been the
plaster dropping from the ceiling.
Her room which is lei the front on
the upper floor had no smoke in it,
but when she hurriedly ros ard
opened the door she found most Of
the hallway filled with smoke and
flames. She commenced to call as
loud as possible and the roomer en-
erged hurriedly making their way
through the smoke into the lobby
downstairs.
Jerry Powells Narrow Escape
Grave fears were expressed for Jer-
ry Powell who has occupied q room
in that hotel for a long time. He
was in the part that was on fire and
Mrs. Hunt was unable to get near
that room owing to the intense heat
and smoke and her cries to him re-
manned unanswered. Mr.. Powell had
awakened about the same time that
Mrs. Hunt gave the alarm to the
m Finding himself trapped and
also noticing that had re-
moved the fire escape rope from his
room he opened the window and with
out waiting to dress jumped to the
top of a large box Immediately be-
meath his window, from which he slid
to the ground. Mr.. Powell is quite
an old mar but despite his age he

MA WADE HAS
THREE BOYS in
RING TOMORROW

"Ma' Wade of Brawley, one OF
the best known boxing fans of the
valley, will have a busy time of 1t
Friday night at the Imperial Valley
Athletic club, whcr cher boy' ap.
pears in the main event.
Mrs. Wade, who is "mother' ,
TO every boxer who ever stayed IN
the valley any length of time, and
who has mothered' hundreds who
never even donned boxing glove,
figures Ramon Montoya just about
the best fighter of his weight in the
world.
, Leave it to "Ma' and he would
be the champion right now. When
Ramon was carrying milk and ap-
pearing in preliminaries up in Braw.
ley number of years ago, 1T was
"Ma' who staked him over lean
periods and encouraged him in his
ring career.
She made him see that it was up
to him to get what he could out of
the racket and save his money, so
that he would not be in need of
benefits when his fighting days are
over. Nor will he. The kid has =
nice little bankroll and money well
invested. He also has nice little
family and has met success in the
boxing game, all of it due to "Ma .
with her advice and encouragement.
Somebody will probably be flayed
alive if she reads this, but anyone
in the north end of the valley, and
many down in this section, will
agree she has plenty of credit com
ing to her.
Tomorrow night "Ma' will be
Ramon will win the fight, and If It
goes to a decision we'd hate to be
in Bill Tackett's shoes if Limbraco
gets it. He'll have "Ma" to deal
with, and no mistake.
Limbraco is plenty bad medicine,
and if he can connect, Ramon is liza.
Bile to think he has been hit with
Ma 's' restaurant.
Louis Reyes is another boy whom
"Ma" likes, and he halls from
Brawley, it's a cinch she will not
be roofing for Johnnie Hill, who eats
his meals in the marine barracks at
San Diego. Louis and Johnnie meet
in the semi-final and it has all the
earmarks of being swell fight.
Deacon Brooks gets his chance to
regain the fans support by beating
Jack Johnson in the six round spe-
cial.
Kid Mexico, also of Brawley, will
nave "Ma" roofing for him when
he opens the show with Tiger Flow
ers of this city. All in all, it looks
like big night for MAJ and she
certainly should enjoy herself if
her boys win.
