BOY RUN OVER
BY CAR SUNDAY

On Sunday morning just after Sum
day school the small son of MIR. and
Mrs. Ben Buehler ran in front of a
slowly moving automobile and was
run over.
After leaving the M. <. church the
little boy ran ahead across the street
and the mother who saw the approach
ing car, called to him to Look. outlr
The child had passed beyond the path
of the car but becoming frightened
ran back directly in front of it. The
driver, Guy Winston, put on all the
brakes but before the car could be
completely stopped the front wheel
had PASSED over the small boy who
had fallen face down in the road.
Apprehensive Of severe internal in
jury the parents rushed the child to
the Deaconess hospital where an x
Ray examination disclosed no broken
bones and no evidence of other injury.
No blame can be attached to the
driver of the car because the distance
in which the car was stopped shows
that it was proceeding at a very mod
crate speed The accident was doubt
less due to the childish panic of the
small boy when he found himself sep
arated from his mother and a car ap-
preaching.

MORRIS
GIRL SHOT BY u

On Wednesday evening. November
28th, little Margaret Morris of French
Coulee ran in front of 22-caliber
rifle in the hands of her brother John
and received bullet in the back of
the neck The ~fttle girl was rushed
to DR.. Graybeal's office where. after
an examination, it was determined to
send her to the Columbus hospital for
an operation.
The bullet from % short cart
ridge did not strike the bones but
ranged forward missing the arteries
and lodged behind the palate. Her re-
covery is only matter of days.
The story of the accident runs ap-
proximstely as follows: At the home
of John Morris near the mouth of
French Coules the family had just
finished supper. The boy John was
joined by another, John Uhrin, and the
two took the small rifle and began to
shoot at tomato can. Each had fired
a shot and John had just raised the
gun to fire again when the nine-yesr-
old sister ran in front Of the gun and
received the bullet as stated above.
At the Columbus hospital an x-Ray
picture was taken which disclosed the
position Of the bullet. A slight oper-
alton extracted it and unless infection
sets in the wounded girl will be back
in school in a week.

RAYNESFORD MAN HAS
COSTLY ADVENTURE
Goes Hunting-Breaks His Leg,
Loses Deer and Pays Fine
of $4,000

Big game hunting ended most
unfortunately for Jim Keath of
Raynesford, according to a re-
port received at the office of the
state fish and game commission
from T. A. Berkin, of Roundup,
deputy game warden, as he lost
the deer he had killed, sustained
a broken leg and on top of this
was fined $50 in court.
Keath was arrested by Berkin
ON a charge of having a doe
deer in his possession, to which
he pleaded guilty before Justice
of the Peace r. c. Harvey at
Stanford and was fined $50.
According to Berkin's report,
Keath told him that while hunt
ing in the mountains near Kib-
bey he killed buck deer and
had to go around rimrock to
get the animal; that on the way
he saw two men running away
and when he reached the spot
from where they had started he
found a doe deer with its head
cut off. Keath finished dress-
ing the deer and then loaded it
on his saddle horse after which
he went to where his buck deer
was lying and while trying to
load it also upon his horse, the
horse kicked him and broke his
leg.
Keath then unloaded the deer
and getting on the horse rode to
the home of a neighbor who
took him to his own home. He
said that two other neighbors
got the deer, all Of which had
been eaten up before Berkin
got to the place. Keath denied
the killing of the doe and said
he would fight the case but
agreed TO plemd ruilty TO having

BILLINGS WINS
STATE TITLE ON
THANKSGIVING

Billings high school won the state
interscholastic football championship
at Butte Thanksgiving day by a score
of 80 to 6. She humbled Anaconda
with her own weapon, the forward
pass, and sent five touchdowns across
the silver and blue goal line.
The game was played in Clark park
before crowd estimated at $500
people, and was one of the greatest
championship battles ever staged be-
tween the Montana high schools.
The twisting, slippery Peters of the
Billings team was easily the star of
the game, with his brilliant running
tactics and excellent toe work. He
amazed the big crowd with his drop
kicks and showed splendid judgment
as field general He was supported
in great shape by Towne, Pythian and
Sweetman in the backfield, and a
clever pair of ends in Davies and
Cruze. Winter earned favorable COM
nent with his great defensive game
at guard.
Botzenhardt and Emmons were the
shining lights Of the Anaconda team
Botzenhardt was about the only Ana
condsn able to connect with their
much-touted passes. German did not
show up as well as expected. Barnes
did good share of the silver and
blues line plunging.
Billings showed the better in all de-
partments of the game and Coach |
Dayliss is to be complimented on his i
splendid work in making the state
champions. They are well coached on /
offensive as well as defensive tactics,
and they showed unusual strategy in
using their opponents style of often
sive to combat them with.
Anaconda scored first when Barnes
intercepted Billings pass and raced
6s yards for a touchdown Emmons
failed to kick goal
Billings failed to score in the first
quarter, but counted early in the sec
ond, after Sweetman placed his team
in scoring range by hooking an Ana
conda pass and bringing it back 81
yards Towne carried over from An
aconda's one-yard line and Peters
gave his team a TO 6 lead with a
drop-kick for the point after goal.
En1lox,fnr frctIIol-
passes, Peters thrilled the great
crowd with beautiful drop-kick from
the 40-yard line. The score stood 10
to at the end of the first half.
Anaconda made a squirt at the
opening of the second half, getting
four consecutive first downs, but Cap
tain Towne of the Sugar Beeters took
the heart out Of Anaconda when he
intercepted pass on his 30-yard line
and raced back 70 yards for touch
down. Peters added point with a
drop-kick. The ball see-sawed back
and forth for the remainder of the
period, which ended with Billings
leading II to 6.
The last quarter was the hardest |
fought of all, and saw some stirring
plays run off perfectly. Cruze con-s
nected with pass that netted 81
yard gain for a touchdown. Peters
kicked another goal for the Sugar
Beeters. Anaconda frantically at
tempted to put her passes into effect.
In one of these attempts, German was
rushed before he could get the ball |
and Cruze recovered the tumble to go
SO yards for the final touchdown.
