While Mr. Moore was frank to admit
today to a Georgian reporter that the

him in its local application, he declared
that study had convinced him that The

The county of Wheeler. originally

given its final and finishing touch in
the house today when the house ac-

The amendment was not adopted nor
the bill passed without protest.
Before the vote was taken, Mr. Cook.

assailed Mr.. Kent, the author of the
bill charging him with misrepresenting

AT their annual Stockholders
meeting held at Helena the first

decided to remove the Offices Of
the company to HarloWton from
Helena, where they had been since
the incorporation Of the company.
At the time Of the organization,
there was no place in the Mussel

office, but with the growth Of our
city has come its ability for larger
business interests, and this fact is
coming to be recognized in many
quarters.
The ranch property of the com
pany consists Of about $1,000 acres
down the Musselshell, a few miles
east Of Harlowton, and the prin-
cipal industry is sheep raising,
although cattle, horses and produce
also form quite an item.

eight gentlemen and Right Fielder

fielding feature on a beautiful play
from second to first which robbed
Jennings Of a hit.
The game in detail
McQuaid and Trowbridge were
easy outs but Stevens singled
only TO be caught mapping and put
out.
In our half Willard walked went
to third on Sandalins scrceching

In the second after Fink had
struck out Ploof walked and
scored on Middletons error. Posely

For Harlow Moe opened with
4 daisy lSisser over second and
scored on Shocks terrific pelt
over the fence. Poor coaching sent
Shook home to his death. Middle
ton then hit a lazy bounder to
third and was out at first. Willard
out on good catch by the raving
right fielder. 1t was one, two
three for both sides in the 3rd and
4th innings.
In the 9TH Olafson walked and
after Baker had swatted thrice at
balls he thought we're there, Olaf
son was forced at second on a
freak play. Warren hit to Jennings
on the line near 2nd base and Jen-
nings fumbled the ball rolling
over to second where Husband
picked it up in time to get the
decision. Jennings liner to right
avoided nothing on the local half.
After hitting liner which went
foul by only a foot McQuaid hit a
Texas Lacquer over first, went to
second on Trowbridges perfect
sacrifice bunt and scored on Stev-
ems beauty to left. The next
went out, Middleton saving trouble

hits and an error in the seventh.
For Harlow Willard was safe

came in on two miserable errors by

But Harlow handed the runs

.Ris Knocked Out The Box In
Fourth, After Which it Was
A Easy Game For Locals

The Helena ball team was dc.
featcd by the fast bunch Of local
players here last Sunday by the
score of 10 to 2. The game started
off like league ball, but when the
Helena pitcher Ris was knocked
out in the fourth inning, the life
seemed to leave the visitors and
lfrom then On, tt was a walk Ior the
locals. Fluhr then went in tht
box for the visitors but the boys
soon solved his tWisters.
Taylor, the new pitcher for the
locals, allowed only two hits. 1lc
pitched u strong game. n. Hus-
band played his usual strong
game, taking his two fielding
chances and getting three three
baggers at the bat outoffiv times
Moe played his usual strong game
at the receiving end. Taylor got
two hits out of three times to bat
| While the locals had several errors
most of them were due to careless
playing on account of the lead they
had. Sandalin got Il home run
