IT WON’T BE LONG BEFORE ….
IT WON’T BE LONG BEFORE THE NEW FACE of this building on the north end of Pioneer Town is complete, just like the one two doors down to the south. Ross Tuggle of Scobey started the project a few weeks ago and also did the one on the left side of the photo. Major kudos to the Daniels County Museum Association and other volunteers for the many improvements that have taken and are currently taking place on the western outskirts of Scobey — the place has never looked better!

Change Of Venue, Judge and Atty In Leischner Case
Judge Kaydee Snipes-Ruiz of Havre, District 12, last month, accepted the invitation to preside and assume jurisdiction on the State vs.
Jenn Leischner case.
Jennifer Leischner of Scobey is charged with 111 felony offenses of theft, deceptive practices, and money laundering, defrauding Nemont Telephone Cooperative while employed there from 2014 to 2020.
Fifteenth Judicial District Judge David Cybulski had filed the request for a new judge last March. As an observation, Judge Cybulski is not seeking reelection this year and potentially the case could continue beyond his term as judge.
The case is still filed in the Fifteenth Judicial District but any trial or subsequent hearings will be conducted in Havre.
Terry Toavs’ request to withdrawastheattorneyofrecord representing Leischner, was approved April 17th. At a hearing in Havre on that day, Leischner requested representation through the Office of the Public Defender. Her request was granted and a public defender will be appointed.
Attorney for the State is Daniels County Attorney Logan Olson.
The May 15 status hearing has been vacated. An omnibus memorandum must be filed with the court before May 31. The memorandum primarily is an agreement between attorneys stating all parties have the information needed to set the stage for forthcoming proceedings.
