Last Sunday evening between the hour of 5:00 and 6:00 o'clock, an at tempt was made by unknown parties to bum the Forrest Goodman Resi dence which lies on the eastern out skirts of this city. In the meantime Mrs. Goodipan had finished her duties up town and was returning home when she saw the flames. She immediately called the hired man who got some water and quenched the fire which had iot got ten sufficient start to prevent the blaze from being extinguished with the water from the pump. The kindling was placed in such a position so as to bum the telephone wires as it leaped into the air and thus prevent aid being called, giving the blaze a better chance to develop so as to be impossible to check until it had devoured the residence. A News notified by reporter was Jerry Powell, who has lived with the Goodmans for years and who was call ed from up town as soon as the blaze was discovered, that the fire was not the work of children, but that the „ . , , . ,, , off ! cials were working on the case and asia S ev * ry ™ eans at / hspo?al to trace the fire bug to hls lan * MEDICINE LAKE CAR RECOYERED The Ford car belonging to the Se curity State Bank of Medicine Lake which was stolen from that city a few weeks ago, has been found at Bowbells N D , ^„foieXAtaT'b^tS Sheriff [ ÄttK took it to Bowbells, after notifying Sheriff Salisbury that he had the car.

Taxes In Sheridan County i County Taxes Lower But City and School Taxes are High er in Most Places. MUST FOLLOW ACTION OF COUNTY OFFICIALS The mailing of tee annual tax statements from the office ct the County Treasurer is almost comp 1 et cd. With each tax notice a letter of in struction is sent explaining the new law providing for the semi-annual pay met of real property taxes—with the exception of city Special Improve ment taxes—-and outlining the riY vhI of payment. We note that ilÿs let ter also cal's attenricn to the reduc tion of one mill which was'nude in the county levy this year. Most of the tas t - - w ill find ' r j taxes lower thio year on an equa» | valuation basis as compared with last 1 year; others will find them higher, either on account of higher valua tions or on account of increases in the City, Town or School District levies. It is well to remember that the levies for City, Town or School District purposes is a local matter for each city, town or school district, and can not be confused with the county taxes, In many cases the levies for School Districts, Town or City taxes have been increased, either on account of large indebtedness or on account of additional expenditures made by them for divers reasons. In a few in stances the levies for the School Dis tricts, Towns or Cities have been low ered, but the increases are many more than the decreases and the taxpayers should take special note of all i creases. has demonstrated that it is possible to lower the taxes and there should be no valid reason for not doing what the county government hag demon strated that can be done. If a City, School District or Town is persist in Your county government ently increasing the levies for the purpose of operating its institutions or its government, it is time to mves tigate the reason for the increases. In many cases throughout Sheridan County, the local municipalities are making no headway toward liquidât In fact ing their outstanding debts, this is true in most cases. In other cases the local municipality is actual ly increasing its indebtedness by leaps and bounds. In other words, it is not only spendig what is raised by the ev er-increasing tax levy, but is actually loading additional burdens on the future. We could cite many instances where In some cases the this is true, School Board or the City Council jiis tify increases in the bonded or war rant indebtedness by stating that they have a great amount of outstanding isrm foundation for^the» cont'nftonï j. «ä'SS Ä th Ä rec?Äring h "e t curre m nr n yS 1 r UnC IN ^rprrpp WORDS THE AMOUNT OF TAXES THAT HAVE CURRENT^ UNPAID ON NOV. 3« CA^ES THAN ™E L fSoU OT œf UEÇTED ON OLDER DELINQUENT SJSÄ £ hÄtf* T* " Ä heretofore These people forget en tircly the fact Wlth decrease cQu y should operate for f "fAtas TthfexpeS county, and defray all the e p (Co ntinued on Page Fo ur) THANK SGIVING DINNERJmjrf AT ST.

EFFORTS WILL FAIL AS THEY ALWAYS DOi Reports from various sources dis close that a number of "soreheads" in and about Plentywood have taken to» heart an article which appeared in the Producers News in the issue of November 16th, relative to alleged misconducts and unethical practices on the part of Drs. Sells and Storkan in removing one, Louis Ehrmantraut, from the Outlook Hospital to the Plentywciod Hospital a few hours af ter he was operated upon at the former place. Mr. Ehrmantraut died a few days after the transfer took place. These "soreheads" wail and wring their hands and accuse the Producers New of bending its effort to ruin and discredit the Plentywood hospital. Not one person in Sheridan county, nor anywheres else will see a single word against the Plentywood hospital in the article referred to and the Pro ducers News has never at any time knocked the Plentywood hospital nor any other hospitals. These persons, who are all well known to the Pro ducers News, are deliberately trying to misconstrue the article as a knock against the Plentywood hospital, thereby hoping to create adverse sen timent towards the farmers' paper and OWNERSHIP OF FORD CAR IN QUESTION; AUTO PLACED IN CUSTODY OF SHERIFF T Magnus Pederson of Medicine Lake Refuses to Give Up Machine to C.

T. T. Trowbridge was visited by the officers of the law in regard to the matter and claimed that he had bought the car from a stranger by the name of Joe Moore. The Ford car was advertised as a stolen car and the description given tallied with a car that C. C. Nichols of Flaxton, N. D. had lost about the middle of October.

This has caused a rather bitter feeling on the part of the men and has resulted in its editor. Sc»me of these talk soreheads prosecution, boycott and everything else against the Producers News. This is not the first time that a certain clique has attempted to discredit the Producers News. Many similar ef forts have been made in the past, in most instances, when the Producers News has attempted to publish the truth, but which might frustrate some evil design of some greedy co* crim inal person. The article was designed to elimin ate evil practices in the medical pro fession to the detriment of the public at large. Many instances of very serious consequence have been called to the attention of the Producers New s regarding the Plentywood doc tors, but which we refrained from publishing in order to avoid adverse sentiment which the doctors always attempt to stir up whenever their practices are criticized. We find, however, that the majority of the people want to know the facts and we were pleasantly surprised at the un usually large number of new subscrib ers which have come in since the ar ticle referred to was published. U covery of his car at Medicine Lake, immediately went to Medicine Lake, arriving there last Tuesday and iden tified the car. Mr. Nichols said that he bought the car from Frank Barge who also makes his home at Flaxton, N. D., and Mr. Pederson claims that it was a stolen car when Nichols bought it and that Nichols had no more right to it than he did and Mr. Pederson refused to let Nichols take the car and placed the machine in the hands of Sheriff Salisbury until the legal owner could be found. There will no doubt be further de velopments in the case and in the meantime the officials are making a search for the first owner of the car. this biggest of all spreads ever held in this county on winch th^ men urn spending thex £ U"?? 3 «™*® " ' at Stivers Hall and accommodation ; ^ ^ a^i'wilP.xntfnue umiTaiTsre sen .

I did not know that they had been called until aft rethey had gone back home. Please do me the justice, too, to publish my statement that I have never knocked the Outlook Hospital.

C STORKAN FILES CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST EDITOR TAYLOR Last Thursday evening. Dr. J. C. Storkan of Plen tywood filed a complaint against Charles E. Taylor, editor of the Producers News, charging him with crim inal libel in connection with an article published in the Producers News. The case will be watched with great interest by the people of Sheridan County and many sensational de velopments will be brought out no doubt at the trial. This will undoubtedly result in the exhumation of the body of Mr. Ehrmantraut for further investiga tion. i I I I Editor Taylor was out of the country when this complaint was filed, hut is expected to arrive in Plenty wood next Monday. i I * MUST SELL GASOLINE : ati«cent|OR state ; . : l . dea ,^ ^ Monday the * * state priie of 16 cents, or the * , 12 2 cents per gal.on at M.tch- # . * . .... . • Margaret Richardson of Antelope was in Plentywood Tuesday between ; ^un^Su^ïtatende^ rfS?hoo"f mo" -a» southern Pacific has ordered 75 new locomotives for deliver in 1924.

Mr. Andêrson is c»ne of the fore most student of Economics and Poli tical Science in the United States.; he is also one of the ablest speakers. At this time, during the period of birth of the New Party, it is plainly the duty of every good citizen to in form himself upon this vital issue, whether one believes in the need of the formation of a new party or not. It is therefore urged that every think ing citizen come to these lectures op en minded to weigh and consider the merits of the issues. This is the foremost and most momentous issue in the United States today. A small admission fee of 26 cents will probably be charged to defray expenses of the speaker.
