FORD COUPE STOLEN
AT MEDICINE LAKE
Daring Robbers Steal Ford Coupe
From Beneath Window of Owner
Last Wednesday Night at Medicine
Lake.
After placing the Ford Coupe be
longing to the Security State Bank
underneath the window of the bed
rom in which he was sleeping and
draining the water from the radiator,
Mr. Faaborg went to sleep Wednes
in the firm belief that hi^
would be where he left it the next
morning or he would be awakened
when the auto thieves tried to make
way with it.
But such did not prove to be the
case as on awakening the next morn
ing and going oat to get the car, he
found the machine had been taken by
thieves during the night and was
probably miles away by the time the
loss of the car had been discovered.
About the only clue that has yet
been given as to the robbers was the
fact that two srangers of doubtful ap
pearance were around Medicine Lake
all day Wednesday but with the dis
appearance of the car they also had
vanished.
These strangers, it is said, created
so much suspicion that guards were
put iq the bank buildings that night
to guard the funds in those institu
tions, but apparently they were af
ter the banker's car Tather than their
money.
Upon the discovery of the loss of
the car, the Sheriff's office in this city
was immediately notified hut as yet
trace of the car has Deoi found
although the officials have been fol
lowing every tangible clue.

The Plentywood City Council had a
regular go-get-'em meeting last Mon
day evening, when it was announced
that the ordinances of the city from
now on are going to be enforced and
steps in that direction would have to
be taken immediately. Mayor Onstad
is reported to have stated that if the
law breakers in Plentywood could not
be curbed and their lawless afction
stopped he would resign his office as
Mayor, because he would not stand
for the breaking of the laws of the
State and City ordinances while he
was Mayor and that he intended to
clean up the citv.
EWING RESIGNS
Wm. Ewing resigned his position as
Alderman on account of the fact that
he is a federal employe, being engaged

Upon the resignation of Mr. Ewing,
Mr. Louis Moe of the White Barber

OUTLOOK FAIR
A BIG SUCCESS
Fine Exhibit of Grain, Corn and Veg
etables—Charley Grant Wins First
On Dent Corn—I. L. West Wins
First on Flint Com.
An enormous crowd attended the
Comunity Fair at Outlook last Wed
nesday and the exhibits were a won
derful sight to see. Row after row
of com, vegetables and other farm
products greeted the eye as one en
tered the exhibition room. The room
was packed nearly all day with spec
tators and A. W. Warden, county
agent of Daniels county had his hands
full judging the winners as did Mrs.
Warden in judging the winners in the
canning exhibits.
The speakers of the day gave some
very interesting talks and the subject
of diversified farming received a
thorough discussion which was very
favorably received by the progressive
farmers of that prosperous commun
ity.
Altogether the show' was a grand
success and all present had a very
fine time and no doubt the Commun
ity Fair Day will become an annual
affair in that city. •
Following are theorize winners and
(Continued on page 7)
For some time past the fanners and
land owners in Sheridan County have
been talking oil, saying "If we could
only find oil here this Country would
be alright" but talking did not bring
any results until a bunch spf these
'farmers called on O. A. Aspelund and
L. S. Olsen and asked them to assist
them to get in a bona fide 'drilling
concern to put down a test well for
oil here. Th ic - was asking them to
tackle a mighty stiff proposition, as
these farmers did not want some
promotion concern to come in here
and first get all the land leased up
and thereafter sell stock in the con
cern which would be thrown to the
birds by the promoters.
However, after talking it cover and
writing to a number of Companies
and finally enlisting the aid of W. E.
Pierce of Plentywood who has an In
surance office in Great Falls, a propo
sition was made them if they would
secure 10,000 acres of leases that a
Company would come here to drill,
and they proceeded to get these leas
es, and just as the contract was to be
signed the bottom dropped out of oil
and the drilling concern refused to go
furthef.
They have, however finally closed a
deal with the Saratoga Oil Company
of St. Paul, who will drill a well
somewhere west or Northwest of
Plentywood to a depth of at least
3200 feet and deeper if oil is not
brought in at that depth. However,
the Saratoga Oil Company insisted
that Aspelund, Olsen and Pierce must
secure 20,000 acres before they w. uld
come here to drill and this they
promised to secure in the territory
desired by the Company. The Com
pany wished to have their machinery
and derrick here by February 1st.,
1924 and be ready to drill by March
1st., 1924, but they have now decided
to come • here immediately that the
the 20,000 acres of leases are secured
and have the machinery, consisting
of a large Heavy Duty Standard drill
ing outfit and an 86 foot steel derrick,
Iready to load on the cars from Spar
ta, Wisconsin, as soon as this acreage
is obtained.
Insmuch as there will be no stock
sold here, and the company agrees to
drill down more than 3200 feet it will
give us a chance to test this country
and find out if there really is any oil
here, and it is up to the land owners
to help out and give Mr. Aspelund
their leases so that this work can
proceed.

After searching every nook and
corner of the state and using every
source of information that they could
find, and after losing the trail and
finding it again, the Sheriff's office
finally located Neil McDonald at Bea
ver Bay, Minn,
The young man who seemed to have
an inkling that the officers of the law
were on his trail, had been staying at
a hotel in Dooley and had left a suit
case in the hotel very suddenly and
never called for the same. Sheriff
Salisbury had discovered the fact that
the suit case was at the hotel and he
informed Mr. Pettie, proprietor of the
hotel, if any one called for the suit
case or sent for it to let him know.
Time went on and the suit case was
nearly forgotten when along came a
letter to Mr. Pettie asking that the
suit case be sent to Neil McDonald at
Beaver Bay, Minn. Mr. Pettie im
mediately informed the Sheriff's office
who instructed the hotel keeper to
send the valise to Neil McDonald, but
in the meantime Sheriff Salisbury got
in touch with the sheriff at Two Har
bors, Minn., and when Mr. McDonald
came for his valise he was immediate
ly nabbed.
Upon the capture of the young man
being wired to the Sheriff's office in
this city, Deputy George Bantz was
immediately dispatched to Two Har
bors where he took McDonald into
custody, returning with him to this
city last Thursday.
The crime for which Neil McDonald
