Work TO Stort Soon
After the preliminaries have been
completed, the work will be rushed
as speedily as possible, and it is the
intention and desire of the local
school board as well as the voters
that the work be done by local help
wherever possible.
This will mean a considerable am
6unt of ready money to be circulated
amongst the workers of this school
district who will, in turn pass it on
for living necessities to our local
merchants and business men. This
employment feature will not mean
only Plentywood residents but will
extend to and include any worker
from the farming territory of the
school district as well.
Various estimates place the saving
in building at this time from two to
three times what it would have cost
two or three years ago. The
addition will be large enough to ac-

LADS ARE CAUGHT
Stealing GASOLINE.

Robert Drager, 20, of Outlook
is serving a 80 day sentence in
the county Jail after pleading
guilty to a charge of attempting
to steal gasoline from a tractor
owned by VIM. Reed an Outlook
farmers Another young man of
II years was involved in the same
affair bu owing to his youth
the matter will be referred to the
County probation officer.
Suspecting these boys intended
stealing the gasoline Mr.. Reed tele-
phoned for Deputy Sheriff Smith and
then concealed himself near the trac-
tor. Shortly afterwards the boys
parked their car nearby and bringing
with them a keg and syphon hose
prepared to get some gas, only to
discover the trap laid for them. They
ran away into the darkness and Mr..
Reed and three other men were un-
able to catch them, but they were
up later during the night by
Deputy Sheriff Smith, to whom they
confessed the intended larceny. They
taken to Plentywood and the
following morning, May 90 the older
boy entered his plea of guilty.
We understand several other petty
thefts have been solved by a confess
SIGN made by these youths.
When things come to such a pass
that youths must steal gasoline in
order to go joy riding, it is high time
they were barred from using a car.

Majority
Is Given Bond Issue
At Fridays Election
Carried by 126 to 80 Assuring Completion of Building
Program this Year; No Increase in Taxes; Local Labor
To be Employed to Do the Work

The bend election held last Fri
day in School district No. 20,
generally known as the Plenty
school district carried with a
majority of 81; the vote being
126 for and 80 against bonding
the district for $55,000 to build
ing a large addition to the pres
ent main structure as well as re-
pair the brick building now used
as a high school.
The opposition did not develop to
any appreciate extent as the voters
of this district realize the Importance
of increasing our school facilities as
well as the gravity of expending
thousands of dollars for repairing the
present building with temporary re-
pairs, instead of r%emodeling it to
such an extent that it will meet with
the requirements of the laws govern
ing school buildings. They realized
that it. would cost just as much to
keep on fixing up the old building
as the total cost of the interest and
and annual payments will amount to
under the new bond issue. One voter
said it was like trying to keep up re-
pairs on an old second hand car.
No Increase in Taxes
There is sufficient funds on hand

REDSTONE PIONEER
PASSES TO BEYOND

Lemual P. Triplett, pioneer set
tier of the south RedstOne terri
tory passed over the great Divide
on Tuesday, May 81, at a private
home for old folks at Billings, at
the age of 80 years, 2 months
and 8 days. The cause being as
cribed as old age and shaking
palsy.
The remains were brought to Plen-
tywood and the funeral occurred at
the Evangelical church on Friday
May % with the Rev. H. E. Ross Of
ficiating, with the Fulkerson- Nelson
Mortuary in charge. There was a
very large attendance of friends and
neighbors who came to see this kind
ly old mar placed in his final earthly
resting place, and to comfort those
who survive him. He was laid to rest
in the Plentywood Lutheran GENET
cry.
Lemuel P. Triplett was born near
Quincy, Illinois on March 16, 1851
and spent a great part of his life
there. In 1875 he was united in mar
riage to Vivian Elizabeth Wing OF

vars there moved into the state OF
Missouri, and again moved into Ok
lahoma where he and his family lived
for three years before coming To
Sheridan county in 1913 where he
homesteaded. Failing health and old
age caused him to move to Plenty
wod about four years ago but it be-
came necessary for him to enter the
Old Folks Home at Billings a few
months ago.
There ere ten children born to
this union, four of whom p~redeceased
him, and besides his wife he is sur
vived by four sons and two daughters
being Ezra Of Carston Wash, Henry
of Somers, Mont. Walter and E. F,
Triplett of Redstone, Mrs. Ed Ramey
Of Kanses City, Mo-, and Mrs. E. M
