NEW CREAMERY AND
ICE CREAM FACTORY
FORPLENTYWOOD
C. A. West, Manager of West's Cafe
teria, Building Addition and Putting
In Up-to-date Equipment for Butter
and Ice Cream.
Starting from the ground up, C. A.
West, well known proprietor of the
West Cafeteria, is building an ideal
creamery which he believes will take
care of the needs of those who have
cream to sell. In addition to the
creamery, Mr. West is adding a com
plete equipment for making ice cream
in commercial quantities.
Some time ago this enterprising
Plentywood business man installed an
ice maufacturing plant and this will
greatly add to the new business,
which ,he is now building on the back
of his lot.
The building will be fire proof with
cement floor and Mr. West has mtide
arrangements to secure apparatus .to
make butter which is on a par with
the best in the country in cleanliness
and quality.
Work has commenced on the new
building and the new enterprise will
be ready for business around about
the first of the year.
The creamery and ice cream factory
will be handled by an experienced but
ter and ice cream manufacturer and
no doubt will be a great help to those
having sweet and sour cream^to sell
and Mr. West will no doubt find the
business very remunerative as well.

Arrested For Safe Robbery
Well Known Outlook Young Man is Brought to Plenty wood
Charged With Serious Crime—$600.00 Taken From Sei

[FINGER PRINTS USED BY THE OFFICIALS
Last Monday morning in response
to a telephone call from Outlook stat

drove over to that city and made a
thorough investigation.
Again on Wednesday Sheriff Salis

has been making a study of finger
prints for some time, left for Outlook.
After a thorough investigation of the
safe which they found was opened
either by someone knowing the com
bination or by an expert locksmith
and the inner door had beeij opened by
drilling off the bolts which hold the
hinges and the lock sawed off with a
saw which was still there, the officers

very plain one just inside the inner
safe. It seems that the safe robber
had injured his finger in some way
and left a stain of blood which gave a
clear outline of the finger. After us

print experts, the officials took the
finger prints of all those who xvere in

BAND MEMBERS
MEET AT KAVON'S
TUESDAY NIGHT
Last Tuesday night, 10 members of
the former Plentywood Band gathered
together after having met the prev
ious Tuesday and decided o.n reorgan
izing the Plentywood band. The boys
did not get started until 8:00 because
of waiting on absent members to make
their appearance, but finally decided
to go on with their practice without
the others. While the band boys had
a very nice practice and Director Mit
chell made the practice very enthus
iastic, the lack of members was a
strong handicap. The drummers were
not present and the boys were short
in other departments. It is to be
î hoped that the boys will get/together
and have regular practice and the bus
iness men should also get behind the
, band boys and boost them along, as
i there is no greater evidence of a live
town than one with a good band and
it is also a great help to Plentywood
when anv form of entertainment is be

the local musicians are willing to give
their time to the improvement of the
band and everyone should join to

Olson Charges Parties With

Trying to Prevent Discovery of Oil Near Plentywood or
Are Actuated by Speculative Purposes.
In an interview with a News report

been leased for the purpose of drilling
oil, L. S. Olson had the following to
narrate regarding the progress of the
leases:
The work of securing leases for the
oil drilling company is going ahead
successfully, but since last week it has
been reported that different persons

I Little Stadstad Baby
Dies At Outlook
„ ,.
rfMMÄ-S
Outlook-Raymond precinct, died last
Tuesday at the Outlook hospital from
a complication of diseases.
The little baby had been ill for some
time and had been at the Outlook
hospital for several weeks and seemed
to be greatly improved and he was
taken home, but was again taken sick
and passed quietly way.
The-body was brought to Plenty
wood, funeral services being held at
the Catholic Church in this city. In
terment was made in the Plentywood
cemetery.
Little Roger w'as the only child of
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Stadstad and will
be greatly missed by the young par
ents. They have the sympathy of the
whole community in their great be
reavement.
The Hospital Club will hold its reg
ular monthly meeting Saturday at the
Hospital.
The local post of the American Le
gion have landed another good bout
for this city next Saturday night,
when Jack Reddick meets Jack Mur
phy, well known fighter of Butte, in
a ten round bout at the Orpheum
Theatre.
This will no doubt be a fight from
start to finish as the Butte fighter has
a real reputation, having fought all
the good middle weights on the coast
and is endeavoring to get a match
with Champion Harry Grebs. If he
can win from Reddick he will be in
line to meet Grebbs as the former will
take on the champion the first of the
year and Murphy can guage from the
fight whether he has a fighting chance
with the champion. Anyway, Murphy
wants to lick the Canadian champion
pretty bad and intends to make it in
teresting from the first gong.
The local fans are well acquainted
with Jack Reddick. They have a lot
of confidence in his fighting ability
and they like the clean cut manner of
his fighting and his gentlemanly ways
out of the ring and in it. They know
he will put up a real fight if he has
to extend himself and the boys would
like to see the young man going his
best in a real battle. From the dope
now on hand, it seems that when
Murphy and Reddick meet they are
not going to pass any love taps and a
gruelling, thrilling ten-round battle is
looked for if a sleep producer is not
slipped in before that time.
There will also be sixteen rounds of
good preliminaries before the main
bout. The preliminaries will begin, at
9:00 P. M., and the main bout will
take place immediately afterwards.
Reserve seats are ow on sale at the
Millers Pharmacy and they are going
fast. A chance to see a real big fight

reputation and those who are seeking

the boy who keeps well under cover;
the pug with a swing like a wind mill
and the straight short jablvr. Sever
al local boys will be on in tire prelim
inaries and they also produce a great
deal of enthusiasm s well as laughter

some of the Plentywood hopefuls.
