Rumors have come to me that false statements concerning me were made during the recent campaign by parties 'Vyhb\intended\Thereby To- irijufe me personally or politically. I earnestly desire that reputable persons who heard those statements may come and confer with me in re gard to them. , Respectfully, J. A. W I L L I A M S . Baker, Mont., Jan. 23, 1917. 1-25-lt Baker is not lacking in “athletic talent” as was shown at the basket b^ll tourney Saturday night. The town-team, -composed_of form\er~col- lege players, defeated the high school team after an exceedingly hard fought and interesting contest. They had an advantage in weight and ex perience, but with that it- was walkaway for them. The crowd pulled hard for the younger and lighter team, as it gen erally does for those under a handi cap, but without avail. Duotone Stocking«. - -T-he- high—sehool-girls-were-pictur- esque in duotone stockings, Blithe and airy as the fairies, Tripping lightly with their feet, making it difficult to distinguish the members of the two teams in the scrambling masses of feminity. Town Team Lineup The lineup of the town team was: Mrs. Lathom Miss Stella Olsen Miss Vera Diers Mrs. Ben Evers Miss Gladys Henton. , v * The high school team was as fol lows : Irene Lentz ' v‘ *. Ernestine Lathom LaZelle Bonner Fay Wolcutt. W. H. Wells acted as referee. * Town Teem Winded. The high school boys set too fast a pace for the local boys, several .of them, being ajl-in after the .first half. Pep Diminishes. For a brief period at the outset it looked as if the contenders stood a pretty even show, but their “pep” was short lived_and gradually fadedL Fleshes of Form. It was interesting to note the flashes of form by such players aS Densel Young, Wells and Henton— flashes from the old college days— but stamina was lacking. A marked improvement was' noted in the high school boys. The fast and clever work of H. W. Brant was ,a feature of the game. Who Played. The veteran 'coach,. H. E. Hitch, selected the following for his line up: Densel Young, Jay Henton, W. Brant, W. H. Wells, J. C. Burke, Tony Lentz. The High School Boys. On the school team were:. Grant Silvernale Harold Silvernale Ike Ingram Maurice Trout Lloyd Kelling. Lester Trout and Clifford Sparks were substitutes. The latter has been out of the game for some time jecause of a bruised knee. Grant Silvernale was the particular star, having twelve baskets to his credit. _ A BABE, IS 'BORN.. “This^will never doV^wel-mult^k^ve more girls,” lamented our- contempor ary last week „after an.

At-yDe- Belloy, former partner of Ed^Lakie in the mercantile business at :Camp Crook, made a prediction.. -' - Loungers were discussing the yfiew horseless carriage in the derisive manner of those days when Mr, DeBelloy said: “Boys, you’ll see the day when, autos are thicker than fleas 'difc-a dog’s back here on the streets of Camp Crook.” , And they • did. Camp Crook, r.an inland town, has as many autos'-jper capita as any town of its 'size ..any where. They are used as substitutes for the railroad. '^3 Dr. W. R.

UNFAIR CRITICISM A Terry newspaper makes' tlje fol lowing comment on the basketball / game with Baker: / 0 The secondjgame was played with Baker at the local high school gym last Saturday evening, and resulted in a score ^of 15 to 34 in favor of Terry. The Baker boys are all right, but seemingly.,; they have been coached in football instead of basket ball, and are exceedingly rough in their play. In the first half of the game the Terry boys gave an ex hibition of the game, and Baker failed to score, except for a foul, but during the second-half, largely because of the prefence of two- of the-Forsyth- players; ho signals-were used and the Baker boys allowed to run up their scort;. We w e r e ’ unable to secure last * week the names of the jurors drawn to serve at the April term of court, which convenes on ’the 23rd, but the same are here presented: S. O.

In the near future it is expected the Milwaukee Land Co. will offer for. sale a large portion of its holdings in the townsite. This is confirmed by J. L. Barstow, agent of the company, who recently received instructions to draw up plats for aDproval. Fifty two of the lots lie on the south side of the town, near the end of the - sidewalk bridge. They comprise some of the best residence lots in the town. Twenty-five lots will be platted on W esf Montana Avenue. The method of sale, whether by auction or private, is undetermined. When the above shall have been disposed of, the residue of the M il waukee Land Company’s holdings, will consist of an 80 acre tract lying north of the railroad track. DIVORCES GRANTED. Divorces were granted last week to Mary Reese from Melvin Reese Th~e parties reside in Ekalaka. Jasper Elery has secured a divorce from Marty Elery and Gertrude Parrish from Wesley Parrish. An order modifying the decree in regard to alimony was made in the divorce case of Lydia Wilson vs. Frederick Geo. Wilson. » I F F MATT JONES HOME FROM THE SUNNY SOUTHLAND Sheriff Jones and family returned Tuesday from Tuscola, Tex., where he has been on leave of absence since D e c. 20th. T h e sheriff reports a splendid visit with the home-folks, there being five brothers and sisters besides his father and mother and numerous other kin-*, folks at the reunion. T h e weather there, until a week before his departure, was wjrm and sunshiney and people going around in their shirt sleeves. Tlien came a heavjMfall of snowr the first-they have had in several, years. M a tt sent some o f his friends some cotten“bolls for a Christmas* present. They* reached here about the time we were having our worst sub-zero weath er. W ill Visit Family Felix Wagner will leave Thursday morning for Sault Ste Marie, Mich., ,-to visit his family. Felix has a pretty a^v w^s... asdfir-eight children. Another well-attended meeting of the business men was held «Friday evening, this time at Pierce’s hall.

C. P. Silvernale, Mayor Barstow, George Daugherty were earnest in their advocacy of a club building, while Prof. D . L. White* give a graphic description of a model club house. It combined a gym and social features and bachelor’s quarters. It was thought such a building would cost from $12,000 to $15,000. Attorney Hodgson, C. P. Silvernale and P. L. Prichard were named to in vestigate building sites and plans for a building. F. O . Carmichael, M . L. Russell and B. H.

I gave you what I thought was the approximate number of filings under the 640-acre law,” said Receiver J. T .

The receipts yesterday were over $7,000. This I consider rather a startling comparison to the Helena office,’ which reported receipts of $800 a few days ago. W hen land sfarts to go at the rate of 70,000 acres a day it takes no trained mathematician to cal- % culate that no matter\ how large the •amount of land.. untaken may be, it will not be many days before it is cleaned out.
