OCCIDENT ELEVATOR
BOOSTS WHEAT PRICE
AT PLENTYWOOD
Last Tuesday the Occident elevator
boosted the price of wheat an even
ten cents in Plenty wood. The price
here this morning for No. 1 dark hard
is $1.52 and the highest quotation on
wheat to arrive in Minneapolis is only
$1.78 which makes a small margin
if the wheat from here does not get
the very highest price at the termi
George Lindgreen, the agent for
the International Elevator Co., stated
upon being interviewed that he is go
ing to follow the Occident prices.
Fay Bradley, manager of the Farm
ers' elevator is yet undecided about
following the Occident, as the station
grade for wheat at Plentywood is not
fully established, he is not sure if the
average wheat from here will demand
top prices. ■
O. F. Aplin, superintendent of the
Occident elevator, was in Plentywood
Wednesday when a News reporter
asked him regarding the boost of
prices, he replied that they needed the
wheat and were willing to pay for it,
but did not state if these prices would
last or if the Occident were paying
the same prices at other points. It
is understood that the prices at Re
serve were raised the sam day and
that the Farmers and Victoria eleva
tors are paying the new prices. There
is considerable comment in the streets
to the reason that actuated the
Occident in raising the price at this
time. It is freely hinted that the big
old line company is bent on giving
the Faimers elevators at Reserve and
Plentywood a lesson, as these two
companies have been the strongest
competitors of the Occident in this
territory.

put his treasure into another box and
hauled it to a pasture on his father's
farm jus outside Bainville. He re
moved sod in sections, putting it and
the loose dirt on a canvas so it wouid
not become scattered and leave evi
dence of digging. He buried his box
of money and replaced the sod so that
after a shower or two no marks re
mained.
The possession of so much money
filled the boy with the desire to pos
sess some of the things money will
buy. Recently, it is said, he went to
Williston and purchased an old auto
mobile for $70. The boy, with money
to spend, easily attracted companions
and four, three from Bainville and
one from Culbertson, appear to have
become associated with him. They
had ideas of adventure.
The Culbertson boy, according to
reports, helped himself to the use of
a car belonging to his father and the
gang is said to have collected such
articles as a couple of rifles, a .44
revolver in a holster and a guitar.
Two of the boys were brought to
Wolf Point, accompanied by relatives,

eastern sharks have filed no more in
junctions and that no new receivers
are being appointed to harvest farm
ers' crops. The two injunction cases,
which were exposed, have been set
tled. The opinion of Judge Lowe, de
fining the farmer's rights under fore
closure proceedings has been careful
ly read and studied not only by farm
ers but by the lawyers of the county.
To supplement this opinion showing
that a farmer has a right to stay
on his place and harvest his crop
without interference during his year
of redemption period we herewith
give the following extract from the
statutes of Montana as given in the
Revised Codes of 1921. Section 9449
reads as follows:
"Possession of lands during pe
riod of redemption.—The
, mm pur
chaser of lands at mortgage fore
closure or execution sales is not
entitled to the possession thereof
as against the execution debtor
during the period of redemption
allowed by law while said
tion debtor personally occupies
the land as a home for himself
and his family."
The constitutionality of this law,
passed by the legislature of 1921, has
been upheld by the supreme court of
Montana in two decisions handed
down recently. These decisions can
be found in the Montana reports,
numbers 64 page 47, and 67 pages
and 8. This law gives the right of
possession to the farmer against all
comers during the period of redemp
tion which extends one year from the
date of foreclosure sale. He can drive
off anybody who tries to grab his crop
or commit any other anti-social crime
in any way he thinks most effective.
The purchaser is entitled to fair rents
and profits during the period of
demption but there is no law to com
pel the farmer to pay such rents be
fore the period of redemption expires.
The shark has no legal right to grab
the farmer's crop during that period
unless the farmer contrats to do
Not only the farmers are aroused
at the attempts made to grab the
farmers' crop this year. Even the
small business men, who called the
farmers wiho voted for their own can
didates at the polls, bolsheviks and
other pet names, are aroused at the
brazen attempt to take the farmers'
money away by such illegal means.
They realize that if the farmer
robbed that grass will grow green
thç. streets ant the goods will rot on
their shelves. They also are up
arms against the anti-social sharks
who are fattening on the lifeblood

and Sid Bennett political machine de
nied her the right to consult counsel,
which has been sanctioned by law
since the time of Magna Charta.
It was also shown to the court that
Judge Comer, the old gang judge, had
no jurisdiction, but assumed it any
way.
She was denied trial by jury, a
right that was won after a hard
fought battle by the people of Eng
land from their oppressors, and was
reluctantly conceded by King John on
the plains of Runneymede. All these
rights and privileges, written into
American law, seemed to be unknown
in Scobey when this poor young girl
was committed to institution

15 months.
When Judge Poorman heard the
whole tale of the treacherous con
spiracy to deprive an innocent young
girl o i her liberty with as little com
punction as was wont to be used by
the freebooters of the Spanisn Main,
he was shocked. He asked question
after question, apparently amazed
that such a thing could have happen
ed in any part of the United States.
The girl's story of diabolical persecu

Rose Paradis to the court. As she
unfolded incident after incident of the
drama of her young life even stern
faced court attaches and lawyers
pulled out their handkerchiefs and

Among the followers of the boxing
game in Plentywood, opinion varies
as to the outcome or the match.
Many think that Blivens might win
on points and others are firm in their
belief that Garner will wear the
North Dakota veteran down before
the ten rounds are finished by his
hammering tactics in the clinches.
Anyway the battle should be a
real one and a large crowd cf fans

Bryan made over $250,000 in the
last few months of his life, be
lieves E. L. Lambright of Tampa,
Fla., who headed the democratic
convention delegation from Flor

ed worth a million last spring
but wrote Lambright then that
his fortune was less than half
that amount. His estate is

Lambright believes Bryan
made most of this in Florida real
