SCOBEY LETS OUT
ANOTHER WAIL
Last week in the Daniels County
Leader appeared an article that
ed long and furious because the Plen
tywood team refused to meet the Sco
bey team and claimed the champion
ship of the northwest and what not.
As a matter of fact, Manager
Backer of the Plentywood team stat
ed to a Producers News reporter, the
trouble with Scobey is that they g — »
ped us out of the gate receipts and
the Plentywood team will not play
Scobey until they come across, unless
it be at a tournament, where it is im
possible to avoid being matched to
gether. He stated that Plentywood
and Scobey agreed to play 60-40, win
ner taking 60, loser 40 ; per cent of
the gate receipts. AL Plentywood
the third oî July, Scobey claimed that
the gate did not come up to their
pectations and claimed they were
gypped. Manager Backer says if
Scobey was gypped, he was also, and
that he asked Scobey to place
at the gate to check up which they
did not do.
That is the whole story of why
Plentywood is turning Scobey down
cold. Manager Backer finds no fault
with the Scobey team and says they
are a fine bunch of ball players, but
the management is all to the bad.
As far as Scobey claims to the cham
pionship and Plentywood being afraid
of the Daniels county team, the idea
is rather ludricious and the *writer
of the Leader must have a high sense
of humor, when it is taken into con
sidération that Plentywood has met

IS hot-air and a rather poor effort
to try to get a game with Plenty
wood, whose reputation is wide-if,
spread over the west, and who do
not have to play with teams whose
management they consider of the
cheap and unsportsmanlike sort

to reach Mexico City in a nonston

Hehodoro Cardenas, a close friend of

Cardenas said that Captain Carrn

end in failure.
The superstition, Cardenas believes.
prompted the Mexican ace to hop off

the guest of honor. He turned to
Obregon, pretended to show him the
cartoons, and then with a gun which
he had concealed under the papers,
fired directly into the president-elect's
body.
Th horror stricken guests jumped
to their feet as the president slumped
back in his chair, moaning. Then
there was a dash for the slayer and
guns and knives were pulled. He was
in imminent danger, but Roberto Cruz

warned. Then soldiers whisked the
assassin away to jail.
General Obregon moaned and seem
ed to be in the greatest agony as he
was carried to his automobile. Wit
nesses said he died before he reached
it. In a few minutes the body had
been taken to his home which, thru
the precaution of President Calles,
was already surrounded by a large
force of soldiers and police. A huge
crowd had gathered and it was with
difficulty that
friends of the slain general wormed
their way through to the doorway.
Evidently Premeditated
Evidence that the crime
even the closest
was pre
meditated was found in a paper dis
covered in the pocket of the slayer.
It was addressed "To my family," and

Wind Shift Fortunate
A change in the wind is credited
with saving buildings on the east side
of mam street and on Si xlh avenue.
Jus a.s the fire readied the Go-d
block: it threatened the Montgomery
Ward building and the O'Connor Drug
company across the street and heat
from the inferno of the blazing Bailey
block and New York store, had made
roofs as dry as tinder. The wind
which had been blowing from the
west veered to the east and the huge
Power block acted as a windbreak.
The wind shifted three times durme
the fire. The heavy rain which fell
just as the fire started saved a great
many buildings as the embers died
when they fell on the wet roofs.
Windows are Shattered
The intense heat cracked window
panes, blistered store fronts ana set
fire to roofs of other buildings in the
vicinity of the fire. Damage of sev
eral thousands was sustained by busi
ness Houses across the street fron
the burned section. Most of these
blocks are windowless, those which
were not burned out being pushed
out later for safety.
The Gold block, a four story brick
building, a large part of which was
used for offices, was the last to burn.
It was owned by the Helena Building
and Realty company, a corporation
controlled by the T. C. Power inter
ests. Charles B. Power estimated
the value of the building at $50,000.
It was constructed in 1890.
Lightning I 8 Cause
Evidence that the fire was caused
by lightning is furnished by residents
of Park avenue who were awakened
by thunder claps to discover the rear
of the Granite and Bailey blocks in
flames near their roofs.
That the Granite and the Bailey
block were both struck by lightning,
the two bolts following in such qu
succession that they might have been
mistaken for one, is the opinion of
Mr. and Mrs. William Smith. They
reside in the frame house on Park
avenue just west of the New York
store site.

the danger, great as it is, and nobody
should feel reluctant to go to the
Vance field'because they fear there
is probability of an accidnt. But
now, a week in advance of the coming

be warned of the danger that doe*s
exist, and I believe it is possible to
have the complete co-operation of
virtually everybody in the crowd when

cause they figured that the present
senator, with his record of treachery
to the progressive movement of the
state and his subservience to the mas
teis of copper and power, would be
an easy candidate to beat in the fi

Wheeler and Erickson are now
out in their true colors as messenger,
boys for the company. They will be
backed by all the company papers ini
the state and a flood of gold will be
spent in an endeavor to elect them.
Angstman and Ford Win
Other progressive candidates who
won the nomination, as predicted in
the Producers News, were Assistant
Attorney General Angstman and S.
C. Ford. They will, in all probability,
sit on the supreme court ater the
next general election. Maury of
Butte was nominated Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court on the Demo
cratic ticket. Maury, who was once
Socialist city attorney of Butte, is
well known to the readers of the
Producers News. Judge Bourquin won
a striking victory for the Attorney
Generalship. The company and the
broken down Wheeler machine used
every effort to defeat the courageous
Butte Judge who was the first man
in Montana to put the President of
the Anaconda Company on the wit
ness stand to show the extent of his
tax dodging. Ever stoolpigeon of
the Company in the state and everv
followed of Wheeler opposed Judge
Bourquin, but in vain. He is an in
