There seems to be no country that is quite as good as ‘ ’glorious old Montana.” Oldest Billiard Table in State The old billiard table which was removed from the Odd Fellows hall this week to the headquarters of the athletic club is one of the oldest billiard tables in the state, and despite the fact that it has seen some terrible jolts and has been mixed up in more than one scrimmage in the early days of its 40 years of existence in the Sun River valley, it is still a good table, and with new cushions will give first class service. This billiard table was brought up the Missouri river from St. Louis to Fort Benton by steam boat and from there hauled across the country by bull team to Sun River Grossing, in the year 1875. Its cost, laid down at Sun River Crossing, was $650. In the year 1878, J. A. White and Tom Christie, who died re cently at the Odd Fellows Home, at Helena,* leased the building and bought the table. T my held it until 1880, when they sold out to Johnnie De Vine. It was removed to Augusta along about 1887 and later became the property of Phil Manix. The table is now owned by Mrs. J. C. Furman and is be ing refitted with new cushions fc r use at the athletic club. If this table could talk it could recount much interesting reminis cence of those stirring times when the Benton Trail was in vogue and Sun River Crossing was an important point on the map of Montana. It could tell many thrilling stories of pioneer life in the Sun River Valley and could recall to memory many characters long since forgotten. In its day it has served a motely crew. Soldier and citizen, cattlemen and sheepherder.outlaws, horse thieves, prospectors, miners and a nonde script aggregation o f floaters who kept the trail hot seeking for the pot o f gold at the end of the rain bow. The table has not been used much of late years but promises to renew its activity and become useful property and spend its de clining years in peace.—Augnsta Times.
