GUS service in school work she not

had an opportunity to actually put
them into practice for the benefit of
children. Never before has their been
a candidate who has had the wide ex-

Miss Singleton has had.

WILDWOOD RESORT
and POOL FAVORITE
DURING HOT WAVE
Now Entertaining Many Out
Of-Town Visitors; Should
Have Our Support

One Of Plentywood's real drawing
cards is the Wildwood tourist park
and swimming pool, owned by Har-
ny DeSilva, but for some unfathom-
able reason it has never been given
> any publicity.
In these days of hot weather when
the young and old all think what a
blessing it would be to get into a pool
of water and cool off there is no place
that can be more alluring than the
large concrete pool down in the Old
town. Unlike the old swimming hole
there are no blood suckers. mud tur-
tells or snakes to be afraid Of. There
is no muddy bottom or possible whirl
pools, and with an attendant always
on duty there is no danger Of drown
ing. The bottom is GRADUATED from
three feet to eight feet, and one cor
ner is partitioned off only about 18
inches deep for the little Riddles to
play in. This is fenced so the little
tots will not fall into the large and
deeper pool.
And then it is equipped with a nice
slide and spring boards and also a
raised platform for high diving.
The pool is entirely surrounded with
nice shade trees, benches and tables
for picknickers, as we'll as a regular
platform for high diving.
Fresh water is pumped into the
pool frequently, and is just as san
itary as the best lake bathing. Dress
ing rooms are available to young and
old, and the cost is so small that a
seasons ticket for the entire family
costs no more than one trip from
Plentywood to the Brush Lake re-
sort. We are glad the Brush Lake re-
sort can be made available but we
have equally good things here in Plen-
tywood, and DeSilva's place is sure to
receive a large patronage.
Mr.. DeSilva will shortly build a
dance floor and this will be an added
attraction to the visitors at his lovely

BoOTLECCER NABbED'
JULY FOURTH; PAYS
$500 FINE TO CITY.
Chas. O'Brien, One of "Nigs"
Bondsmen Nabbed by Sher-
if and Customs Officer

H. Granny Shir.liff of Plenty
wood, unofficial manager of the Max
Hueth for sheriff club, is not quite so
sure of the statements he has been
making that Sheriff Madsen permits
bootleggers to operate unmolested in
Sheridan County.
He has been very busy furthering
the campaign of Max Hueth, and in
defense of Hueth's wringing wet at
titude, had made the above state
ments to various and diverse per-
sons; incidentally promising to lead
a personally conducted tour Of the
alley back of the Producers Moose to
prove that the moonshine parlors
were running wide open on July 4th.
Sheriff Madsen requested that he be
permitted to go along which granny
Shirtliff said would be fine and dandy
and assured the sheriff that he would
call for him to go along.
Just a little before noon the leg
gers took courage to throw open the
big gate back of the Krebsbach pool
hall and just twenty feet away from
the Producers News print shop. Char
lie O'Brien, bondsman and general
factotum for Mig Collins was in
charge. The display of viands was
in the shed of the abated building on
the rear end of the Krebsbach lot,
supposedly owned by Jack Dwyer.
The Moose reporter was perched on a
stool in the work shop across the way
and was busy jotting down the naraes
Of the many entrants in the Moon
shine derby, while O'Brien took in the
fees at fifty cents per drink. Busin-
ess was exceedingly good, and the
place was crowded, when Customs Of
ficer Burris walked in on them. The
time it took for him to take charge
we're only a few seconds, and the Gus
toners fled after they learned the
mans business. Sheriff Madsen had
come in through the pool hall and was
a couple Of minutes late but oficiated
in breaking up the liquor containers
which consisted of 100 pint bottles OF
beer, two gallons of moonshine and
about four gallons of spiked wine.
He then escorted Mr.. O'Brien to
the County Jail, while Burris, at the
request of the city authorities, made
the complaint against O'Brien in po-
lice court, whereupon Sheriff Mad'en

HANK OLSON GETS 4
MONTHS FOR THEFT

On Wednesday afternoon the trial
Of Hank Olson for the same offense
Of stealing chickens came up before
Judge Belanski, and with the same
battery Of attorneys, the same good
service to the State by County At
torney Blackwell and the same class
Of service rendered at Attor-
ney Erickson as in the A. W. Clay
(Jack Van) case, the case went to the
jury consisting of Otto Brabec, F. j.
Fishbeck, Leland Nuremberg, George
Stringer, c. C. Thompson and E. H. E.
Helgeson, and who promptly found the
defendant Olson guilty and left the
penalty to the Court, which was
promptly made by sentencing Olson
to Jail for four months. Of course he
served oral notice Of appeal but like
Jack Van he may not have such an
easy time raising bonds of $4,000 for
a new trial.
