Missoula last week and attended by
Miss Viola Guy, as a representative ]
from the Forsyth high school, afforded |
a most excellent opportunity for the
various high schools of the state to
show 1.-THE stuff Of which they are
made, and they proved in every case
their mettle to be good. Almost every
record of previous years was broken in
the athletic events and the literary
programs were superior. An artistic |
souvenir program, containing a short
account of the competing schools and
score cards for the several athletic
events, was issued by the University
of Montana. The schools of Montana
are progressing rapidly and these
er-scholastic meets furnish healthy
stimulus for still better work.
I One Of the most up. to-date balls ever
given in Forsyth took place last night
at the Alexander hall under the aus
pieces of the Dove orchestra. Each
person who desired to dance, upon en-
tering the hall was presented with a
program of the evening designating the
various dances with space after each
i'll which to write the name of your
partner for the number. Owing to the
threatening aspect of the weather dur
ing the early part of the evening the
attendance was not as large as could
have been wished, but those who were
there enjoyed very pleasant evening.
The Dove orchestra promises another
affair of like nature in the near flu
ture and it is safe to predict that
better attendance will greet such
worthy efforts for the entertainment of
the people.
The basket social held at the Ander-
son school house last Friday evening
was a great success. In addition to
the people of the Anderson community
large crowd went out from Forsyth.
During the early part of the evening
a program, made up Of dialogues,
songs and recitations, was given by
the school children, and almost every
number was heartily and deservedly
applauded. Perhaps tine most inter-
esting feature of the evening, however,
was the sale of the baskets, which had
been brought by the ladies, and very
handsome display of baskets there
was. Messrs. J. G. Lyndes and w.
| E. Johnson acted in the capacity OF
t auctioneers and there was no hesitancy
, in bidding. Every basket was sold
l for d good round sum, and Miss
5 Blanche McRae, the teacher of the
$ school, was overjoyed to find that the
e sum total of the sale amounted te
n 1913. 50. The money is to be expended
d in the purchase of an organ for tn,
school, and it is limited that the distric
fathers may enlarge the present schoo
u building to provide more fully for thu
growing demands OF the community.
e LIE st Friday morning telephon
e message was received here to the effec
y that the body of dead man had beel
o found near the head of Stocker creek
:. and in response thereto C. r. Dick, a
d acting coroner, summoned jury com
posed of Jas. F. Kennedy, B. Blum
Joe Keller, A. Leazott, Frederic Col
;. Inns and Bert Coleman, and went ou

's sheriff's Office. They returned Satu1
~ day afternoon reporting that they ha
~ found the decea sed to be man name
Frank Erwin, who had been herdin
&c sheep for N. G. Philbrick and that /
r had come to his death as the result of
u chronic disease. He was accordingl
. placed in a rough coffin which ha
&c been taken along, and buried near II
&c scene of his death. The man was
y native of Walnut, Indiana, and a mer
10 Der in good standing of the A. o.
W. lodge. There has been some ia
S, of taking the body up and bringing

an but we have not learned yet as
RI whether or not this will be done.
