They did not record their statements as matters of opinion only, but boomed them forth as solid ehot of demonstrated fact. They had no doubt of them, themselves, and not lnfrequently went so far as to in- innate that anyone else who should doubt them was anathema maranatha, and fit only for the bow-string.

KEVIN GETS CROWD
BOXING BOUT FRIDAY

In spite of the unfavorable wealth
er during the early part of the day
the boxing match and dance here
last Friday was quite we'll attended,
although it prevented the ball game
here with Shelby that had been
scheduled. Unfortunately the main
card Of the sparring events was spoil
ed. by an accident that injured the
arm Of Jimmie Rookie, who was
matched for ten round boxing with
Harry Leffingwell. In cranking a
Ford car it kicked and gave him
the car to town. McDermott pluck
lily volunteered to take Jimmie's
place and although without train
ing or conditioning he stayed with
Leffingwell four rounds,
The first preliminary seemed to
entertain the spectators highly,
which consisted of three rounds of
boxing between Gerald and Esmond
Simon, two boys, and brothers,
of Sweet Grass. At the close fans
showered the boys with silver coins.
Fred Slower and Tommy Amerman
also staged an exhibition Of three
rounds, the match as we'll as that of
the boys being declared draw. The
newly floored Campbell warehouse
furnished an excellent place for the
events and Jack Doherty, the promot-
er of the days events, was well
pleased with results aside from
smaller attendance caused by threat
ening weather of the morning. Art
Lessard of Lethbridge was referee
and officiated in a manner satisfact-
ory to all. The dance following the
Gz-.cs was very we'll attended and
enjoyed by the Kevinites and the
towns many visitors.

been proven by the Campbell we'll,

He was accompanied by Mrs. Miller,
they having recently arrived from
Healdsburg, California, where they
have lived since 1916. He own a
thousand acres in the vicinity of the

months here and at Cut Bank, and
will probably make deal to have his
acreage tested, as the early well was
not sunk. as deep as where the Camp
