NOTED POLITICIANS
HAD GOOD MEETING

Tuesday evening the voters of
Sheridan County enjoyed the privi-
lege of listening to political address,
es by Governor John E.. Erickson
and U. S. Senator Thomas j. Walsh,
democratic nominee for reelection to
the Senate.
The meeting had been well adver-
tised and a good sized audience was
expected, but when the noted men
entered the Farmer Labor Temple
they were greeted with a packed
house, and according to the esti-
mates there were nearly 1000 people
in the hall, and standing room was
at a premium. Close observation
indicated there were &c democrats,
II reds and 900 republicans entered
there, and after the talks were made
there were 131 democrats, 800 repub-
leans and 10 reds leaving the hall,
2 reds blew up when they got no re-
| Spouse to their heckling.
Shortly after the speakers arrived
in Plentywood, which city had taken

n. D. Bank Robbers

The Kramer, N. d., bank bandits
who were arrested in Sioux Falls,
South Dakota a few days ago, and
who plead guilty and received terms
of 6 to 20 years in the North Dakota
penitentiary were in Plentywood
three years ago this fall.
At that time Lloyd Lyons was ar
rested by Chief of Police Collins on
suspicion of being implicated in a
bank robbery, and was finger print
ed by l.. S. Olsen and the records
sent to a central bureau of identifi-
cation, but there was no information
obtainable about him at that time
and he was turned loose again.
A picture of Lyons together with
William Marzolf and sheriff j. c.
Miller of Bottineau,N. D., appeared
in the Monday issue of the Great
Falls Tribune, and it was recalled
that Marzolf was also in Plenty
wood at that time. The photo was
first called to our attention by Police
Judge Wheeler who recognized the
parties having been in Plentywood
during the time the reign Of bank
robbing was going on in this part of
Montana.

SURVEY
WANTS MED. LAKE
AS PROTECTED AREA
Wants nesting grounds for state located at Medicine Lake
and Lake Bowdoin, also considering the whole Westby
territory.

We have learned that the federal
government has recently made a
secret survey of Montana for the
purpose of establishing refugees for
migratory waterfowls and that, it is
now planning to designate Medicine
Lake, and possibly the Westby terri
tory, both in Montana and North
Dakota, as protected nesting terri
tory an wild life refugees. They
have also designated their intention
to make Lake Bowdoin another pro-
tected refuge.
This work has been going ahead
under the Norbeck bill which was
enacted by congress for the protec-
ton of wild life, and which provides
that the U. S. Biological survey
shall determine where wild life
refugees are to be established in the
various states and then finance the
development of such protected terri.
tories so that birds and other game
may have a fair chance to propagate
without mans m~olestation.
Greater protection for waterfowls
is desired by all sportsmen, and with
the e~xtention of civilization into thi.
part of the United States and the
northern territories of Canada, The
original nesting places of waterfowl
are being destroyed.
This survey has been going OF
secretly and without the aid O
knowledge of the state fish or game
commission, the Montana Sports
mems Association or the Izaak Wal
ton League, and we wonder VIII.
there should be so much secrec,
about it.

Huge Booze Raid

Prohibition agents Otto Waddell
and John H. Cosgrf and Customs
Inspector Ted Winters made a huge
seizure of moonshining material on
Tuesday morning, when they ap-
peared in a coulee six miles north
west of Mondak and found two men
at work on a $50 gallon still, and
two other men asleep nearby. They
found 1000 gallons of mash and 80
gallons Of whiskey, the huge still
and two 1000 gallon watts, one which
had just been emptied. They de-
stroyed the parphenalia and held
some liquor for evidence and arrest
ed the four men found there. They
also siezed one Chrysler coach and
one Dodge truck. The men gave
their names as R. H. Stevens, Cliff
Peterson and Andrew johnson of
Williston and Alvin Briske of Balm
vile. They are 10 in Jail at Wolf
Point awaiting their liberty ON bonds
of $1,000 each, fixed by the u. s.
Commissioners at Baimille.

Tdylor's Ego is
the Cause For
Much Laughter

Charles Taylor has a lot of nerve.
The other day he prepared a news
letter to be sent to the daily papers
in which he intimated a joint de-
BATE between himself and Senator
Walsh the democratic candidate, as
well as Associate Justice Albert j.
Galen, Republican nominee for U. S.
Senator had been arranged some
place in Montana. He would like
to lend dignity to his insane desire
for publicity.
We heard the other day that he
had reinstated himself in the good
graces of the Russian Communist
party by paying up his back dues
and he is once again a Communist
and so his masquerading under. the
guise of a Farmer-L aborite is only
a pretext to ingratiate himself with
the soviets.
We do not believe that either Mr.
Walsh or Mr.. Galen will care to lenc
any dignity to Taylor's campaign
which is looked upon only as a joke
TAYLOR is now bound over to Dist
riot court on a felony charge and II
would be a fine thing for a man OF
his character and notority to ap-
pear on the same platform with the
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the State of Montana anc
the United States Senator from
Montana, in the opinion of the Sow.
let Communist press of the U. s.
Taylor is important only in his
own estimation. To every one else
except a few knot heads, he is less
significant than the kernel of a mus
tard seed, excepting for generating
gas.

COM. CLUB WANTS
TO PAINT BIG sign

The Plentywood Commercial Club
has decided to indicate to aviators
just what city this is and also where
they can land their planes, and will
have the roof of one Of the County
Fair buildings painted black with
the name "Plentywood" In six foot
letters painted in chrome yellow
and an arrow pointing to the landing
field.
Painters who may want this job
are asked to see Carl B. Peterson
for particulars and to have their
bids for the work and the furnishing
of the material ready for the Com
mercial Club to act upon Monday
morning, October 9th, at which time
the executive board meets at the
City Hall.
The work is to start without delay
and it is hoped that in another week
or two the work will be completed.

RECENT ATTACK ON
SHERIFF MADSEN IS
DELIBERATE LIEINC
Propaganda to Discredit OFF,
Ger is Now Com
mencing

An attack on Sheriff Madsen that
was circulated throughout the coun-
ty last week to the effect he is not
attending to his duties, and failed to
go to Comertown after the store
burglary there, is an absolute false
hood.
Sheriff Madsen and Under Sheriff
Smith were both called out Of Plen-
tywood early on the morning follow
ing the robbery, on reliable infor-
nation that a bank robbery was due
to be staged that day. Both officers
were unable to get back to Plenty
wood until late in the aftem.o and
did not know of the Comertown
burglary until they returned. They
Immediately commenced working on
this burglary and visited Comertown
without delay, and clues were OBJ
tanned there which indicated the
yeggs were prepared to travel long
distances, owing to the amount OF
gasoline taken from the filling sta
ton there and the absence of new
milk AN which had also been stolen
| apparently to be filled with gasoline
Sheriff Madsen visited at several
points and travelled several hundred
miles in Investigating this burglary
The attack on our sheriff is merely
a sample of what can be expected
later on this fall, in fact, it is now
being whispered about that there
will be some faxed burglaries and
robberies staged during the next
three weeks just to try and mislead
the voters at the coming election. Ok
not be surprised at anything that
will be charged against our Sheriff
who is a thorn in the side of the
reds. During the short time he has
been in Office he has arrested most
of the ring leaders on some charge
or another, and as such a thing was
unheard of during the previous ad'
m~inistration, that one of thu
SELECT should be arrested, it is nj
wonder they want to defea. t him.

Rates
on Herald Open
Until Oct. nth

Last week the Plentywood Herald,
as an inducement to County fair WIS.,
itors, reduced the price of the annual
subscription from $500 to $l.5O per
year, and this applied on old and new
subscriptions and also on unpaid and
past due subscriptions, and the re-
Spouse was very gratifying indeed
Forty new subscribers were added
to our already large list and scores
of visitors took advantage of the
offer to renew their subscriptions
and paying up past due account at
a discount of 25 per cent.
Several parties have written US
saying they were unable to come tc
the County fair and asking if we
would accept such subscriptions or
the reduced rates through the mai
this week, and we have decided tc
extend this reduced rate for old anC
new subscription accounts up to anc
including October 18th, 1880.
1t is easy enough for old subscrib
ers to tell how far they are in ARE
ars by noting the figures after then
name on the address tab. For ex
ample should the figures read 90.
it would indicate your subscription
was paid up to September 1929. TX
take advantage of this reduced rate
we require that the subscription b.
extended for a year. However
should your subscription be past due
for five or six months only, it vii
be satisfactory to remit for ont
year which will extend your paid VI
period until some time in 1881.
Remember, the closing date il
Saturday, October 18th. After tina
date the regular price Of $500 OIL
both old and new accounts will no
be deviated from.

new POSTAL Law IS
IN FORCE REGARDING
DELIVERY OF c. 0. D.
Must Pay S Cents Per Day
Demurrage After Is
Days

Jack Bennett, Plentywood's genial
postmaster has more work lined up
for him by the post office department
under an act which was passed May
%, 1880 but became effective yester-
day.
Hereafter all C. 0. d. packages
coming to the postoffice can be held
Is days from date of arrival and if
not taken up by the addressee by
that time must be returned to the
sender, unless the party to whom the
package is addressed calls at the
postoffice informing the postmaster
that he or she intends to meet the
G. 0. ID. payment and take the pack
age out within thirty days from
date of its arrival here, but being
unable to take it out within the
prescribed Is day period must pay 5
cents per day for each day after such
first Is day period, and To comply
with the postal laws must : post rs
cents with the postmaster to cover
such demurrage charge. This
amounts to 5 cents per day for the
full Is day additional period. Any
time within the extended Is day per-
Tod such addressee may call and take
up the C. 0. D. the unearned portion
of the rs cents will be refunded at
the rate Of 5 cents per day. For
example: if the package is called for
20 days after its arrival here a re-
fund of so cents is made; if called
for in % days a 10 cent refund will
be made, but on the 30th day no TO-
fund will be given, and if not taken
up by that date, the package will be
returned to the sender with postage
collect.
This will make a lot of extra work
in the postofiice but may relieve con-
gested conditions in the c. 0. ID. De-
partment, which sometimes become
very bad.

OVER 200 ENTRIES
AT COUNTY FAIR and
OVER 5000 VISITORS
Grain, forage vegetables and culinary displays amazing.
All Club make wonderful showing, as well as women's
department.

The best agricultural display EVER
seer in Northeastern Montana, and
probably the best ever shown in
Northern Montana was on exhibit
ton at the 1880 show Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday. The number Of
exhibits being 2100 entered in the
agricultural hall exceeded those
shown at the Farmer Labor Temple
last year by more than 500. The
large building was crowded with a
most comprehensive and varied show
ing of grains, grasses, vegetables,
fruit and culinary articles. The
quality was very high and the COM
petition very keen.
1t was a great fair. 1t passed off
without any trouble or accident and
it reflected credit upon the fair
board. The first day was devoted
almost exclusively to entries, and as
the day was quite cold the atten-
dance consisted principally of those
making entries. The weather mod
Grated on Friday and the crowds
were quite large but on Saturday the
fair grounds were packed with cars
and the visitors were there by the
thousands. A low figure on the
number of visitors can be placed at
5000.
There were surprises galore by the
visitors. Dagmar whose crops were
far below the average of other years
filled its community booth with exhi-
bits of such high class and so many
varieties that it was awarded the
Silver Cup. For some time it was
quite a puzzle for the judges as to
which Community booth should re-
ceive first prize but it was eventu-
ally awarded to Dagmar with four
points more than Reserve. All
other communities were close rum
ers-up.
The All Club exhibits were sim
ply extraordinary. These exhibits
were all in the blue ribbon class and
was a very powerful advertisement
of the benefits which accrue to our
younger generation through the
education which they receive both
through our schools as we'll as the
County agents work. The All Club
displays clearly indicated the necess-

LeaMtt-Han

Marriage vows were exchanged
Tuesday evening, September 30th
between Miss Dorothy Leavitt and
DR.. Cecil M. Hall. The marriage
ceremony was performed at the
Congregational parsonage with Rev
F. M. Jasper officiating.
The happy young couple then went
to the Elgin Cafe where a sumptious
wedding dinner was served.
The bride came to Plentywood
from Minneapolis about a year age
and has ably fulfilled her duties as
a trained nurse at the Sheridan
Memorial hospital until the day of
her marriage.
The groom needs no introduction
to the public of Sheridan county
where he has made his home for the
past two years as a practicing
physician and surgeon.
The contracting parties have leg
ions of friends in Plentywood who
were taken completely by surprise
when the news spread that they were
married, and locating them at the
Elgin Cafe they were rushed into a
dilapidated car and given a free
ride. They were then escorted to
the Dan Olson residence which they
have rented and where they have
already set up housekeeping.

He plead not guilty before Justice

The evidence was obtained by Sheriff

that the defendant will undoubtedly
