IS ASKED
Billings County Division Gets
Another Delay. Sentinel Butte
Wants Co. Seat and Makes
Strong Showing.

The Billings county division case
had another turn the past week which
at best delays things. An order was
filed. asking for re-hearine in the su-
RENE court and as this is the vacation
period it may be that the case cannot
be reviewed before the October term.
In the mean time there will be nothing
doing as regards the Golden Valley.
temporary county seat, officers, etc.
The division case is already long
drawn out and it may be that another
election will be held before the matter
is settled.
Sentinel Butte is making strong
effort to get the county seat Of the new
county (unless the supreme court should
reverse ITSELF and last week, through
L. F. Crawford, filed petition with
Gov. John Burke. The petition is said
to contain more than 500 names. asking
that Sentinel Butte be designated as the
temporary county seat of Golden VAL
ley. The town is very nearly in the
geographical center of the proposed new
county. while B each is at the extreme
western edge, about two miles from the
Montana line. The Sentinel Butte people
also declare that they have the voters as
they will prove at the coming election.
The Sentinel Butte school district has 81
school houses and the district is free of
debt, so it is reported. while Beach dis
trict, with but school houses, is bond
ed to the limit. But the Butte men
are just little afraid that they do not
stand close to the powers that be and
here is the rub. They say that they can
surely get the county seat when it
comes to a vote OF the people, and they
would like to be recognized on the tenn
porary location.
The Medora Herald man last week
made, the following comment regarding
the supreme court ruling in the divis-
ion case:
Judge Engerud says that the (the SUI
preme courD reasoned from an assumed
state of facts, not in accord with the
actual testimony and showing made.
If the court is shown that their reason
ing was based on an error in apprehen-
sion. a re-hearing may be ordered, with
the possibility of reversal; in any
case it will cause delay. Pending the
consideration of the petition and await
ing the hearing, many deleterious
things may happen.

MISS FINGER rs CALLED
Miss Johanna Wilhelmina Finger
passed away on Tuesday of this week
at her home in Minneapolis. She was
better known to her friends in this
county as Mona Finger.
The Finger family were pioneers in
Stark county, locating at South Heart,
here they engaged in farming and the
mercantile business and where one of
the sons. Rudolph Finger, still resides.
They moved to Minneapolis in 1902,
where they have made their home ever
since.
Miss Mona FINGER as we'll as her sis
tiers, Miss Julia and Mrs. Chas., Angel
and her brother Gus, taught school in
this county in the early days. Later
Miss Finger took up stenography in Des
Moines, Iowa. and about fifteen years
ago she contracted rheumatism which
left her more or less crippled and which
complicated with diabetis the last
years, caused her death. She was
always cheerful and had bright smile
for everyone in spite of her ailment.
She, with her sister, Julia. spent the
summer of 1910 with their sister, Mrs.
Chas. Angel. in Dickinson. renewing
many old acquaintances in the county.
Miss Finger is survived by two sisters,
Miss Julia OF Minneapolis and Mrs.
ANGEL of Dickinson. four brothers, R.
Finger of South Heart. Eugene Finger of
St. Paul and Gustave and Edgar OF
Minneapolis.
Funeral services were held from the
family residence in Minneapolis Thurs
day afternoon after which the remains
were taken to the old home in Daven-
port, Iowa, to be laid beside those of
her mother. The death comes especial
ly hard on Miss Julia, who, through the
many years of her suffering, had been
with her sister constantly as attendant
and confident.
Mrs. Charles Angel went down from
Dickinson about two weeks ago to be
with her sister during the last days OF
her illness and was one of the funeral
party to Iowa.

DICKINSON WON BALL GAME
FROM new ENGLAND BOYS

The ball game at the local park on
Sunday was the best that has been
played here during the season and was
as good game as anybody could ask to
see. 1t was close all the way through
and not until the last of the ninth did
any one know whose game it was.
The visitors were at the bat first and
secured one run in the first inning.
R. J. List. the Scranton banker, made
the score, and there was nothing more
until the lest of the fifth when J.
Robinson brought in a tally for the
locals. In the first inning the Dickin.
son boys had the bases filled and it
looked bad for Pitcher Flemming for a
few minutes, but he worked himself out
of close place in good shape.
Both sides were put out in the 1, 2,
order in several innings. New Eng
land had the bases filled in the eighth
but Kelso pulled our boys through and
all interest centered on the home play
ers in the ninth. For a time it looked
as though the tie would not be broken,
but Fred Robinson sent long drive to
center field and both Becker and Rigdon
scored and it was all over, the acredit-
ed score being to in favor of Dick
inson.
There were no spectacular plays dur
ing the fast game of about 1 hour and
Is minutes and there was no wrangling
or temper shown on either side. J. N.
Sturgeon umpired and he gave perfect
satisfaction to both sides. This gives
the Dickinson boys three out of four
games with the New England team.
Next Sunday the Belfeld team comes
here and another good game is promis-
ed. The people should turn out for the
good games and give the players as
much encouragement as possible.
Following is the line up of the game
