Young farmer Andrew Simonson seeks first chance at life
State notes describe 15 year old Andrew Simonson a farmer’s boy from Plentywood in Sheridan county who is set for a rare opportunity after years of farm work.

The article also recounts the discovery of W T Bane’s body near Hillsboro after his January disappearance on Deadman’s Creek and notes a district court verdict in Lewis town where Jennie Christianson received six months in jail and a $500 fine for assault in the third degree. Bids are invited to build an athletic field and to prepare the lawn area at Chinook’s east playground.
