Sidney Herald Gives
Bawden Fine Send OFF

On Wednesday at the M. C.
Nelson building, a large number
of the many friends of John H
Bawden gathered, the occasion be-
ing a farewell party for the chair
man of the board of county COM
missioners of the new county of
McCone. All present enjoyed a
pleasant social evening and after
wards partook of a dainty luncheon
served at the Valley Cafe.
Mr.. Bawden when called upon
for a speech stated in no uncertain
terms his friendliness for the peo
pie of Sidney and his regret that
he would no longer be able to pay
his regular visits here but when
ever he did have occasion TO re-
turn it would always be with a
feeling that he was coming back
home. He stated that he did not
know who his successor would be.
Mr.. Bawden has resided near
Nickwall, Montana for the past
seventeen years, has always been
one of our foremost citizens, and |
his unblemished record as county
of this county since
its creation in 1914, can always be
referred to with pride by her citi-
,ens.
We are sorry to lose Mr.. Bawden
IS AN officer, but circumstances
lave so decreed. However we
wish him the same success in his
lew commissionership as he had

ur loss is our neighboring coun- :

lated there as they have been

cheers became a cotinuous roar as
the head of the line came into
sight of the stands.
As the caisson of the dead
reached the official reviewing
stand in front of the Metropolitan
museum a bugler sounded taps"
while West Point cadets, standing
rigidly at attention, dipped their
colors, officers saluted and the
army of dignitaries and officials
with Governor Smith barred their
heads.
Another mile and half past

was over. Here it was that Organ,

| The warm weather of the past
week caused the Redwater and
all other streams to break up and
flowing bank full in a short time.
The Redwater this year was
about as high as we have seen it.
and Circle was indeed fortunate
to have such a good bridge, to
get the mail across, but even at
that the huge ice cakes coming
down the river washed out the
grade on the east side and made
crossing quite hard.
On Monday night an ice gorge
formed at the upper Horse creek
bridge and Tuesday morning it
was found that the bridge had
been swept out entirely. The
bridge across Horse creek at
Circle was saved by a couple
charges dynamite when The ice
commenced to pile up.
Word received here from Brock
way Wednesday was to the effect
that the bridge across Redwater
at that place had been taken out
The loss of the two
bridges will cost McCone county
several thousand dollars to re-
replace.
Last night lot of huge ice cakes came
loating down Horse creek again and it
vas necessary to use about ten charges of
dynamite in order to save the bridge here
Circle, Several pilings were knocked
ut at one end of the bridge.

Circle Lands County Seat
Banner Awarded Printing

Circle has been named tempo
rary county seat of McCone coun-
ty, that is the cheering and mosl
important news we have for ou1
readers this week. The board Of
county commissioners met again
here last Monday, and the after.
noon was spent in deciding the To-
cation Of temporary county seat
It was expected that Circle and
Brockway would be the only con-
testants but at the eleventh hour
Terrace, over north, got the bug,
and made a bid for it.
Result Of vote taken in the
matter was one for each of the
three places mentioned above. 1t
was then agreed to place the
names of the three places in
sealed envelopes and placed in a
hat and a drawing held to deter
mine the lucky winner, with the
result that Circle landed the
bacon, and was named temporary
county seat of McCone county.
Needless to say there was great
rejoicing blythe Circle people over
their victory. The gong of the
fire bell was put in action immedi-
-ately by Jack Wilde and the Ban
ner man, to herald the good news
of Circles victory.
Well, the temporary county
seat has finally been named and of
course for one, we hope it will re-
main here. We are indeed proud |
of the fact that Circle played a
fair game in regards to the loca- !
ton of the county seat, leaving it
to the commissioners to decide,
and when they could not come to
an agreement it was an even
chance for all to have it settled
the way it was-by drawing.
Tuesday the commissioners met
again, and for the first time in
McCone county, the county be-
coming effective on Monday mid
night. Several things of impor-
tance were considered during the
day and bids were received for
office supplies for all the off
,ials. Wednesday morning the
contract for office furniture was {

IN rNTEREs1--sAvE-

On Tuesday evening, April the first
Miss Edith Olson and the Messdames
Anderson, O'Keefe, Stephens, McCann
and Niaa entertained large party oftheir
friends and acquaintance at an April
/ Fool party given in Anderson's hall. The
invitations were purposely misspeled and
the idea was carried out in the decorations
in the hall where number of signs such as
"Injoy yurself'', "Hav Guide Tim" etc..
were hung around the room.
Thel started the evening with sew
eral lively parlor games in which Mr. B.
N. Stoney, our genial hardware merchant
seemed to be the hero. These were fol-
lowed by question box in which the gen.
tie men placed the questions that they
wanted answered. The questions and
answers, which were along the idea of a
Cupid's Aid column in the newspapers
created considerable merriment. A card
throwing contest, which was won by Mr..
Sam Hanson, then TODD up several min
utes. The prize was pocket fashIight.
In order to get their partners for sup
per the gentlemen each had to perform
some stunt such as to kneel, stand on
chair or whistle, until the lady, whose
card of instructions corresponded with
what they were doing, came and led them
away. A delicious lunch was then served
which was followed, by some April Fool
candy which the ladies passed. The
candy, which was made Of raw dough and
pasteboard covered with chocolate looked |
very natural and fooled nearly everyone
in the hall. After supper dancing was in
dulged in until late hour and on passing
out each guest was given goodnight kiss
by one of the hostesses which consisted I
merely of molasses candy kiss wrapped
in oil paper.
Among the guests present were the
three new county commissioners OF Nc
Cone county, Messrs. Kirchner, Bawden
and O'Brien; also several other residents
of Vida, Terrace and Brockway who
we're in Circle to see about the location Of
he temporary county seat. They al re
ported most enjoyable evening.

Two Bridges Out
Result OF Ice Jam

, The thousand motor ears in which
they rode made up a heart-wrench
ing cavalcade which seemed to
have no end. Empty sleeves and
turned up trouser legs, crutches
and bandaged heads, told of men
who had looked into the land of
shadows from which the comrades
they left "over there" will not re-
turn. But on the young faces
some drawn and haggard from
suffering, there was no sign of
grief. They laughed and cheered
and stuck in their hats the flowers
that women tossed to them.
Beneath the arch rode O'Ryan
and his staff. Behind them swept
the doughboys of the 54th brigade.
Eyes front was the order and there
was no sign of recognition on the
stern young faces when some
friend shouted, a greeting. On
their backs were overseas packs
and gas masks were slung at their
hips.
Where the crowds did not surge
into the street, they marched in
maSsed formation-a long column
of compact half battalions, 18 men
to the marching front, resembling
a moving succession of squares of
troops.
Just below the arch of victory
which spans the avenue at Madi-
son square the procession was
halted by the spectators who
plunged into the street. 1t was
with difficulty that the police
forced a way for the troops to I
pass.
Under the arch the division /
moved on through a narrow lane :
between the milling crowds to the q
court of the victorious dead at the $
public library. The roll of honor c
md the records of their heroic +
leeds were in the center of a clus- s
er of trees, surmounted by cross
S of spears and golden eagles, r,
rom which hung golden shields 81
with the divisional in n
ignia. W
Here the caisson memoralizing ri
ne dead was halted. Eight men, CT
II wearing the distinguished SER a,
ice cross who had been leading W
le horses, lifted the wreath of the h,
9TH off the catafalque and laid it
,verently at the foot of the honor til
,ll. By nightfall, a wreath from w
very state in the union had been ST
aced beside that of New York. hi
On up the avenue moved the
vision to the court of jewels, tn
hich spanned the street where la

LATER-Just before noon to-
day the publisher of the Banner
was informed by the board of
county commissioners that the

After two days of hard work the
board decided that the Banners
