AUTOS CRASH AS
DANCERS CAVOR1

About two O'Clock Wednesday
morning a Chevrolet sedan driven
by Louie VanHee, proceeding east
was crashed into by a Whippet Sc
day driven by Franklin Loucks and
both cars badly wrecked. VanHee
IS in the local hospital with severe
cranial injuries as we'll as lacera-
lions about the body. A Jones
OOy riding with Van Wee, was
uninjured. Loucks received a cut
IN one hand and Lucille Goodman.
Who was riding with him, received
cuts on the face and body lacera-
tons and bruises.
1t appears that Van Hee was
going east to the fair grounds and
Loucks, who was following close
behind another car was returning
to Plentywood. About 100 feet
west from the bridge at the Hine
place it is said Loucks attempted
to pass the car ahead and side
swiped the Van Hee car showing il
clear off the road and badly de-
molishing it. Another car which
is said to have contained two oil
the nurses from the local hospita
was some distance behind the
Loucks car. They stopped and
picked up the injured people ant
took them to the hospital wher,
they were given treatment.
The Van Hee car remained at
the scene of the collision, where
was viewed by hundreds of people
until Thursday morning when il
was brought to town.

don't worry, we will have others
who can take his place, and good
ones too. Come and get acquainted
with your Communist candidates,
its a fine bunch and you can't help
liking them.
AS far as the speaking program
is concerned it will deal with two
questions, the election campaign in
the country as a whole and in our
county, and the imperialist war.
In the present election campaign
the candidates of the Communist
party all over the country stand
against imperialist war, against
the wars that the Wall Street
bankers are going to try and make
us fight so that they can have
prosperity" again. Point 6 of thu
Communist platform reads:
Against imperialist war, for tn
defense of the Chinese people ant
of the Soviet Union"
The speakers will explain jus
what the struggles of the Chimes
people and the development of tn
Soviet Union mean to us, and vii
show just how the Wall Stree
bankers are preparing to drive tn
United States into the new worl
war that Japan has already opene
in Manchuria.

For the last fourteen years the
big annual farmers picnic in Sherl-
dan county has been looked upon
as one of the biggest events in the
northwest, and is practically known
from coast to coast. Once a year
farmers have gathered by thou
sands from far and near and list
ened to speakers of national repu-
tation. Thru these picnics Sheri-
dan county has been known all
over the United States, and the
farmers of this part of the north
west looked upon as being the most
enlightened and politically active
to be found anywhere.
This year is the 18th annlve1-
sary of these picnics and it has
been decided to hold it at Brush
Lake On Friday, July 20. Friday
is the last day of the Pioneer

THIEVES RANSACK
GOTTLIEB'S MINT

Sometime Wednesday night or
early Thursday morning thieves
forced an entrance to the Mint
Cigar Store and made away with a
quantity of cigars, tobacco, match
es and several cartons of cigar
cites. The "pot of gold" which is
ordinarily carefully hidden away
was not found by the thieves al
though the evidence points to at
tempts to find it. Manager Gott-
lieb says, however, that they would
not have gotten much cash had
they discovered its hiding place as
business for the day had been poor.
Entrance was gained by remov-
ing the screen from a rear window
and lowering the upper section. A
hole had been cut in the plaster
board partition between the back
room and the anteroom, for what
purpose is not known, then the
miscreants seeing thru the hole
that there were no traps on The
other side opened the door into thu
ante-room. The door leading from
there into the store proper wa
locked. A hole was gouged thru
the panel close to the lock with tn,
leather punch of knife and tn,
bolt thrown back. The thieves thel
went thru the shelves keeping low
behind a cigarette sign in the win
dow which curtains the rear of tn
counter from the street.
Several footprints of the visitor
were found to the rear of the build
ing, one was that of a perso
wearing small, low heeled shoe
probably that of a woman.
Local police and the sheriff
S force are working on the case.
:. About year ago the Mint e1
perienced a similar robbery but til
e loss was much heavier. Due
). the similarity of the operations {
the thieves in both instances it
: thought that the crime was con
S mitted by the same parties, witt
S out doubt local people famili;

NC ELROY GARAGE
IS BURNED DOWN

The garage on the Oscar Olson
farm burned to the ground the morn
of July Is. The building was quite
roomy and was used for a storehouse
for surplus clothing, flour, etc. The
power washing machine was burned
also. Mrs. Olson had intended to
wash clothes that day and had the
clothes collected in the garage. She
put the water to heat on an oilstove
and went to the house to breakfast.
A short time later the garage was IN
flames. The car was saved but all
other things went up in smoke. Prac
tically all the clothing the family
owned was destroyed, as was the
supply of flour and numerous other
things stored there. There was no

game of whist and penny-a-point
rhummy that he loved so well
Jerry was well aware of the fac
that he was being short changed
by some of the players, but he
never squawked and Jerry neve
short changed anybody. He lief
behind him nothing but friend
and no enemies.

several fraternal orders. He wa
very much interested in betterinI
the conditions of the farmers an
workers and belonged to their OF
, CARNATIONS. He was a member o

up to the time of his death he wa
: an active member of the Commur
