III INC cdiip interviewing MS numer
Gus patrons. Mr.. Roche has many
friends in Belt who are always glad
to see his beaming face in the door
way.
Joe Rioux and Billy Anderson had
the misfortune to have two of their
valuable horses snake bitten. The
horses we're on the Lindsey ranch
and had probably been bitten several
hours before they were noticed. 1t
is to be hoped that the horses may
be saved.
E. K. Abbott, the editor of the
only sheet (this Abbott said to put
in at pay rates) was in the city look
ing after the interests of the HER
AID. Mr.. Abbott has added many
new names to the list of subscribers
in Belt and it is only a matter of
time until the HERALD will be a
welcome visitor to every home in
Belt. The HERALD is rapidly gain
ing favor in the coal camp for its
fearlessness of expression and the
citizens recognize a good thing when
they see it. Mr.. Abbott while in the
camp made many friends, who will
be glad to see him around again
soon.
Sam Noble wife and family, Miss
Nellie Goodman, Miss Jennie Hun
ter, Mrs. and Miss Albatt have
gone to Lewistown and Gilt Edge
where they will spend a couple of
weeks visiting that beautiful section.
The scarlet fever epidemic has
about subsidized and the doctors con
slider all danger past This is good
news for Belt, for while there were
no eve cases in Belt, it kept
many people from visiting the
greatest coal camp of the West.
Much credit is due the doctors for
their careful vigilance in the matter,
and while some people may object
to their strict quarantine in the mat
ter they only did their duty and
soon rid the camp Of the contagious
disease.
The A. O. U. w. reorganized in
Belt on Tuesday night with "a chart
er membership Of twenty three. 1t
was a very pleasant affair and re-
fleets great credit upon the lodge.
Deputy G. M. W., S. N. Nicholson
of Helena, instituted the order and
he certainly deserves great praise
for the work he has performed in
the short space of time. Mr.. Nickel
son is a gentleman of high standing
and certainly did much good for
the lodge in the camp.
The lodge met and organized at
$3.50 p. m. and after the members
we're initiated the following officers
were elected: w. R: Glasscock, P.
NJ. W.; James Dockery, NJ. W.;
Geo. Lawrence, Overseer; DIR. F.
L. Buck, Foreman; Jas. Chambers,
Financier; w. r. Glasscock, Re-
c%eiver; Art. Bishel, Guide; John
Lester, |. G.; John Hanson, O. G.;
DIR. G. E. K. Vidal, Med. Elk Hi
Farnum, Geo. Talbot, Mark Morris,
Trustees.
After the secret work was over,
the officers we're publicly installed
and the sisters of the Degree of
Honor and family of the members
were invited to attend. The installa-
ton was very impressive and no
doubt did the order much good.
Speeches were made by Grand
Chief of Honor, Clara L. Lawyer;
Dep. G. M. W., S. N. Nicholson;
w. R.. Glasscock; Domenick Spog-
and Jos. J. G.. Burns.
The members of the lodge had
procured a light lunch to be served
after the installation ceremonies
were over, but the Degree of Hon
or came in upon them with ice
cream, lemonade, cakes and cookies
and made their humble lunch look
like a nine spot in a fog.
After the lunch the evening was
spent in singing and dancing and
all went home a merry happy crowd.
Truly it may be said of the A. o. u.
w. that it is the banner lodge of
Belt and its members feel that its
membership will increase very rap
idly under the new plan.
The lodge was called Willow
lodge number 70, and the members
