Charles Lundeen, since he resign
ed office in the autumn of 1926,
has spent the most of his time in
California. He is not nor has been
negotiating for the erection of a
skyscraper or a dog house in the
Twin Cities. Lundeen has no am
bition to build a skyscraper—-he
has very little ambition about be
ing county treasurer. People who
know Lundeen, know there are no
more honest, conscientious, reli
able or capable men in this coun
ty than Charles Lundeen, and they
know these insinuations by Dolin's
papers to be nought else but base
less wanton slander—and they
know well that a paper publishing
this sort of stuff,to be absolutely
unreliable and irresponsible.
in
se
Taylor is no more
the election of Charles Lundeen to
the offices of County Treasurer,
than he is with the election of the
rest of the Independent Ticket. He
will live if all of the candidates are
defeated. True the next county
treasurer will handle lots of money
and there is no one who can handle
it better than Charles Lundeen, it
makes no difference whose name
is called.

Andrew Whipplinger Ex
pires Last Thursday Evening
Andrew Whipplinger, pioneer
homesteader of Sfieridan county, died
at his home sixteen miles northeast
■of Plentywood, a week ago last ev
ening of heart failure.
Mr, Whipplinger had been occupied
a couple of days prior to his death
fighting prairie fires which had been
ranging in his neighborhood and had
become exhausted and as he is a man
of advanced years, the effort was his
undoing.
Mr. Whipplinger was born at
Berne, Germany, on Septelhber 2nd,
1857. He came to the United States
in 1880 and was naturalized in Blue
Earth county, Minnesota, in Î887.
From Minnesota he came to Montana
in 1910 and filed on his homestead
which is located sixteen miles north
east of Plentywood, in 1911, where
he has resided ever since. Mr.
Whipplinger was a quiet^ unassum-.
ing, law-abiding citizen, highly re
spected by all who knew him. He is

A nice lunch was served by the

Rankin and the
'Company' Press
(Phillips County New»)
The line» are being pretty
clearly drawn in the governor
ship race. It is not difficult
to discover whose candidate is
whose. Day »Her day the daily
press is nagging and scolding
and bereating Rankin — but
Rankin is mere baffling to
them now than he was in the
primary election, in that he re
fuses to spoil the splendid ad
vantage the whole situation has
given him by answering back. It
is the part of wisdom, because
the people of Montana today
realize that the political utter
ances of the copper-owned press
must be more greatly discounted
than ever before. Their united
attack is an asset that any man
running for office in the state
ought to value and highly covet.
It is the highest compliment that
can be paid him—and, contrari
wise, it would be a millstone
about his neck to have even their
tacit support because of its vi
cious implications.

Word reaches Plentywood, that Joe

a candidate for Sheriff on the Demo

against Sheriff Anderson who has
held that office for the last three

that Wix will nose Anderson out and
send him back to the farm November
6th. Wix has the solid democratic
party behind him, the progressives,
besides a host of friends and neigh
bors who believe that John Anderson
has been in office long enough and
that now is a good time to make
change. Many people say that the
voters of Roosevelt county could not

STROYED BY FIRE
Gasoline Fumes Ignite Making Blaz
ing Inferno In Short Time. Baker
Children Burned As Gas Ignites.
Last Saturday evening about 6:00
o'clock the city was startled by the
shrill blast of the fire siren which
warned the populace of a fire at the
Jake Wolfe house in the southwest
part of the city.
A quick run was made by the vol
unteer ire department, but the resi
dence was a mass of flames when
they arrived. Work was directed
to save the Hopkins house several
feet distant toward which building the
flames were wafted by a strong
wind. Despite the intense heat and
low water pressure the building was
saved.
1 The house was occupied by Mrs.
Baker and her four children, who had
! just moved into the house u short
! lime before the lire in order that
the children might attend the Plen
tywood schools.
It seems that while Mrs. Baker
was down town shopping that her
daughter Goldie was, cleaning a gar
ment with gasoline. Very little lire
was in the kitchen range at the time
but nevertheless the fumes were ig
nited and in a moment the girl's
clothing and the entire room were
ablaze. Cesco Iraker, rushed in to
aid his sister and was quite badly
burned on the leg and one hand while
Goldie was burned on the face and
shoulder. The mother reached home
in time to pull the children from the
, flames and rushed them to the hos
pital where they received medical at
tention, relieving the burns,
The house and furniture were corn
pletely burned. The house was cov
ered by insurance but Mrs. Baker
suffered the loss of her furniture
upon which there was no insurance.
Mrs. George Bell from the Quit
meyer precinct had the afternoon of
tbe da ^ ,^ re made arrange
ments to stay with Mrs. Baker a few
days - She lost her P urse containing
$25.00 in paper and silver money in
the fire. The next day after the coals
of the ruin had cooled Mrs. Bell re
turned to look over the premises and
found her leather purse. Upon pick
ing it up it fell apart, but the metal
lic purse on the inside apparently
was a good insulation as the bills
were only slightly scorched. Her spec
tacles were also in the purse and
were uninjured.
The Baker children are getting
along as well as can be expected
after such an accident and will soon
be able to be around with no serious
effects from the bums.

when Kicked by a horse.

nine children. Alphonse, Jean, Dom
inik, Regina, Eva, Eleanor, Frank
and Fred, all but the latter now liv
ing. His wife, mother and father al
so survive him. He also leaves four

Scheme to Rob the Madison
County Treasury Frustrated
Captured Burglar Discloses Plans of Bandits to Camp At Vir
ginia City Until November 30 and Hold Up Treasurer As
Was Done at Plentywood Two Years Ago.
A man who gave his name as Reed, one of a gang of three, who
blew the safe of a pool hall at Grass Range, Tuesday, October 2d,
was wounded by the sheriff of Musselshell county, north ef
Roundup and captured by Sheriff Tullock of Fergus county after
being hidden and left by his friends. After he was apprehended
he made a confession to Sheriff Tullock in which he disclosed
what the gang had done and* -
what they had planned on doing
during the coming Autumn,
Reed said that there were three
men in the party and that they had
planned jobs at Grass Rahge and
Roundup, and that from Roundup
they were going to Virginia City, the
county seat of Madison county, where
they intended to hold up the county
treasurer's office sometime this fall,
most likely on the last taxpaying
day, thus duplicating the holdup of
the Sheridan County treasury two
years ago this fall.
Teagarden's Recorder, published at
Denton, a town in Fergus county, a
short way from Grass Range in re
porting the affair said:
Prompt action last week on the
part of Sheriff Guy Tullock nipped
in the bud a series of holdups which
had been planned in this section of
the country. He was called to Grass
Range Tuesday evening when the
safe in the pool hall was blown, and
the explosion aroused some of the
citizens. Ascertaining that the rob
bers had headed in the direction of
Roundup, he phoned to the sheriff atj
that place to be on the look out, and
then started out himself, taking along
his police dog. The Roundup sheriff
drove out a few miles from Roundup
in time to intersçept the robbers, but
realizing that they were trapped,
they speeded up the car attempting
to run down the sheriff. As he dodg
ed out of danger, he opened fire,
striking one of the robbers. Sheriff
Tullock arrived a few minutes later,
and chased the robbers into a blind
canyon, where they took out afoot,
leaving their wounded companion hid
den. The wounded man was located
by means of the dog and he confessed
to his part in the crime, stating that
there were three men in the party
and that they_had planned jobs at
Grass Range, Rouffdup and later in
!, The exhibits poured into the large
Farmer-Labor Temple Wednesday
morning and by evening the exhibit
room wa^ well filled with quality
products that were the source of
much admiration by the huge throngs
visiting the fair,
Thursday proved to be the big day
0 f the Fair, thousands of people
attending from all parts of the coun
ty, taking in the exhibits, listening
to the various speakers and visiting
the Stock Demonstration train. The
day proved to be too cold for com
! fort and marred what otherwise
would have been one of the most
interesting displays ever held in this
