Sun RIVER, Montana, December 90
AS we fail to find anything of interes
concerning our community in the loca
journal, submit d few items to let oul
fellow citizens of Cascade comfy know
that we are still alive and hopeful. Let
me here state that the petty spite
expressed therein is not shared by the best
citizens of this valley. Because the last
legislature failed to grind the axes" Of
the alleged father of Sun River is no rea
son he should stand in the way of public
spirit and enterprise. However such
venom will take no effect upon such
healthy constitutions as those of Cascade
county and its county seat.
The holidays were ushered in by an
enjoyable ball given in Murray hall, on
Friday. About thirty couples stripped
the light fantastic toe" until the s'wee
sma' hours" to the soul-inspiring music Of
the Fort Shaw orchestra. Next day an
exciting horse race took place on the
race track above town. The race was
600 yards for a purse Of 500. Three
horses were entered-Green Pruitt by
George White, Daylight by Charles
Rimell, and Sage Brush by Lake Ulm
Two heats were necessary as the first
trial was dead heat between Pruitt and
Daylight, Sage Brush being distanced.
In the second heat Daylight won by a
neck after a close and spirited race
Bring on your Roam Ike and George B,
and l think you can be accommodated.
