IN roosevelt CO.,
Nig's House-keeper in Trouble
Over Alleged Knockout
Drops Deal

Ellen Johnson, or as she now
calls herself, Ellen Collins, for
mer housekeeper for mig" Col
Inns at the notorious Chicken
ranch" south of Plentywood, has
shifted her activities to Roose-
welt county, if we are to judge
by the story that appeared in
last weeks issue of the Wolf
Point Herald. 1t is interesting to
note that in this connection the
other "lady" involved is known
as Ann Hendrickson. Ellens maid
en- name was Hendrickson and
she had a sister by the name of
Ann.
Ellen has some criminal charges
against her in this county on which
she is out on bonds until the next
term of court. but it may be some
time before she is brought to trial
if the Roosevelt jury believes the fol
lowing news report:
Charged with the larceny of $500
from the person of Jean Aereboe, a
Brockton man employed by the Great
Northern, Ann Hendrickson was ar
rested at Glasgow and Ellen Collins
in Wolf Point, early in Wolf Point,
early in the week, by Sheriff Lowe.
Henry Fromby was named in the
same complaint but could not be To-
Gated until Thursday night when he
was arrested in Wolf Point. i
The two women were arraigned in
Judge Gordon's court Tuesday. Thru
their attorney A. M. Foor, they plead
not. guilty and waived examination.
The court set their bonds at $1,000,
which was not furnished and they
were returned to Jail to await a hear
ing which was set for Wednesday at
200 p. m. The public and the press
were excluded at the instance Of the
defense. The hearing lasted through
the afternoon and was adjourned to
the next afternoon. Numerous witness
e were were called including Mrs.

GAS PRICES TAKE
A DROP IN P'WO0D

Indications point to a gasoline
war in Plentywood. On Thursday
last week, the Westland Oil Com
pany cut the price of gasoline
for tractors to 20H cents and
motor fuel to Is cents, including
tax. The price of gasoline for
automobile use also dropped one
cent.
On Saturday all other dealers in
Plentywood followed suit with a like
drop and at this time the price at all
filling stations here to the autoists is
"a cents.
There is a possibility that the dove
of peace has departed from its perch
and that we can look for further
in the price of gasoline in
Plentywood.

New Cucumber Promises
to Achieve Popularity

In the course of a year or two the
marketer will be enabled to buy the
new cucumber which has been re-
Gently developed by scientific agri-
culturists. It is known as the Geneva,
a cross between the Arlington White
Spine, a common American type, and
Rockford Market, popular English
forcing cucumber. The vines are said
to be vigorous and productive with
the fruit very uniform in shape and
size. The cucumbers are about 10
inches long and 2ss inches wide,
smooth dark green in color, and with
white flesh. The seed cavity is small
and contains only a few small abor-
tive seeds. When placed alongside
the common American forcing type,
Geneva won immediate preference
even at much higher prices.
