runs we'll in copper, The Whippoor-

the HERALD office this week, and their
beauty is par excellence.
The base ball cranks of Neihart met
at the hose house early this week and
organized the Neihart Athletic ~associa-
ton, whose business will be first, to pa
tronize all kinds Of field sports, and
second, to defeat Belt, Sand Coulee and
Great Falls on the diamond and grid

to the first object, for before dog DAYS
are over, the Neihart Athletic associa-

E. X. Abbott secretary and treasurer.
Nj. II. II. Bemis of Belt one of the
sprightly editors of the Belt Valley
Times was in Neihart last week. Ralph
is an old Neihart boy. and Mrs. Bemis
is an old Neihart girl, by which we
mean she vas formerly a young Neihart
girl. He tells us the new boy ut his
house is a shouting success, having al
ready filed an order for II uniform and
knapsack to fight the Dons. The arriv-
al of this new heir places the permanent

Bemis will run the Times during his nat
ural life, and the boy can take il up
where the old man leaves it-and Belt
can't go down while the Times runs

progress along the line of development,

Steve Pierse and j. l.. Neihart are con
Quoting the work upon this property.
The Liberty force is still extracting
ore from a mine which has yielded good
returns to its leaseholders. The Wright
and Edwards, and MOulton are also
among the producers, and the product
ion of wealth by that camp is ~astonislr-
ing even the most ardent oldtimc be-
levers.
The talked-of contest between the
citizens of Ncihart over the recent city
election has been open by Lyter &
Gormley, attorneys of Great Falls who
filed the document early this week, and
it now awaits the action of Judge Les

pOrtunity to answer. The complaint
alleges that David Sweeney, mayor elect,
and George Arthur and Jno. Walker,
ir., aldermen. elect are not legally quail
flied to hold their respective offices, and
so are enioined from taking their seats.
The ground for the complaint is taken
that the aforesaid otficers-elect are not
taXpaying freeholdcrs in the sense i'm
piled by the statutes. 1t is an interest
ing contest, and its results will be
watched closely, not alone from Nei-
hart, but from other N0ntana towns. as
