LyCeum Course Number
Pleases Large Audience

Wednesday evening the third
number of the .Kadoka Lyceum
Course was given at the Scenic
Theatre, and Miss Selma Lenhart,
interpretive reader, gave the eve
ning's entertainment. The theatre
was well filled and the efforts Of
Miss Lenhart were well ;,ppreciat-
ed. Miss Lenhart chose the play
'Erstwhile Susan and in the
rendering of this play gave a most
pronounced demonstration as to
her ability in this line Of work, and
everyone present were unanimous
in the opinion that the lady had no
peer IN interpretive reading.
While Miss Lenhart has extraord-
mary ability and pleasing stage
appearance the selection she gave
here Wednesday night was by far
too weak for the ability she posses
seS.
The last and closing number OF
the Lyceum Course will be given
at the Scenic Theatre next Wednes
day evening, January 3lst, by the
Arcadians, entertainers deluxe.
This company is composed Of three
yolng men, who give a varied pro-
gram of readings and music, and
are the best number of the entire
season. course. A vrowded house
should be out to greet them and a
most delightful evening will be en-
joyed py those attending.

HARDF0UCHT BATTLE WON BY ELKS' TEAM
Railroaders Take Close Game From High
 School Boys
STANDING OF THE TEAMS

The Railroaders did it-beat the High School 16 to 12, last night in the fastest basketball game of the series and one that will live long in the memory of local fandom. This win puts the Railroaders in the lead with only one more game, that with the Elks, between themselves and final victory.
 That Railroad bunch surely is a powerful aggregation, we'll balanced 1 and strong in every department or the game, particularly in offense' Last night they were here, there and everywhere, and individually and collectively they played their most brilliant game of the series. At the end of the first half the score favored the Railroaders, to 4 But early in the second half the School boys speeded up and evenea the score only to have the Rall- roaders again forge ahead Marshal was ace-scorer TOT the High School with six points. T1bbs was right behind with four scores hut Hazelet, of the Railroad, dlmmed the light of Putnam, who heretofore had been the shining star or the school boys in consistent scoring, py allowing him only one basket ln the game.
 Nestor again proved himself a luminary for the Railroaders by making half the winning score. rom has an uncanny habit of bagglng the leather just when the resulting points are needed the worst by his team.

 But the Elks earned their victory for the score was tied, IA to l4' Ill the first part of the last quarter and if was only two baskets in the 1ast five minutes that gave them the game.
 M. Anstis held the spotlight as high man of the game, his accurate tossing netting thirteen points for B. P. o. E. Hill, of the Finkelstein S- Sapiro five, was next with seven scores.
 This defeat puts the Finkelstein X Sapiro aggregation out of striking distance of final victory. Il The Elks now have strong team that should be winner. They nave been handicapped throughout the series by constantly shifting lineup, as they have had to use different combination in every game played. But if they had had their present lineup in some of their other games the percentage column might now read differently.
 They now cannot place in the series, but they will play the Rail- road team next Friday, and with their present efficient lineup they will make the final result of the series very doubtful until this game is over.

what amazing changes a short
time can bring about ia the life of a
Montana mining town. What transit
tions from poverty to riches take
place within the space of a few
hours. What golden dreams are dis
sipated by the stroke of a pick or
the turn of shovel. Tonight the
miner or prospector lies down in
hopeless despair over the scurvy trick
of fortune; tomorrow he awakes, all
his resplendant visions realized. In
shallow placer, his partner, working
rock lousy with gold, and the claim,
the night shift, had found the bed
only SO feet in width, brought them
riches. Often the adjoining claim,
revealing but few colors here and
there, would be abandoned, and some
other unlucky adventurer would come
along and tackle it with successful
results.

not a parallel to the famous Alder
gulch. 1t famed up in the night like

brains of the oldest and toughest
sour dough- The ragged and half
starved 'tenderfoot' who had never
seen a mine or flake of gold before
in his life became rich man over
night.
'sSome escaped the excitement and
fascination of the delirous mining
camp and returned to their homes

band conducted lonely tav-
ern on the stage road between Hell
ena and Deer Lodge. Travellers
passing over this early day high
way made it their stopping place,
and much of the revenue derived
from the establishment came from
the bar, which was presided over
by the husband. He was his best
customer. The woman looked
after the little hotel. cooked the
meals and did all the work. She
received her pay in gold dust from
the miners, and because of her
husbands habits, hid it away from
him. One day when she thought
he was away from the place she
got out her gold dust savings. The
husband, coming in suddenly, sur
prised her. The gold tempted him.
He killed her, and taking her gold,
left the place, and disappeared.
The woman was buried in the back
yard of her tavern, which passed
to other hands. Travellers who
frequented the road and stopped
at the house said that her spirit
haunted it.

zone wet, cold and stormy evening
in the fall of 1877, my chum, John
Vial, and myself were slowly but
thankfully nearing on heavy, muddy
roads, and with jaded horses, an old,
dilapidated and abandoned stage sta
ton nestled serenely and solitary
among the Dog Creek mountains mid
way between Deer Lodge and Hell
ena, our stopping place for the night.
We were met pleasantly by a man
whos eyed us with (I am sure) feel
ing of pity for our wet and half
frozen condition, and bidding us walk
into the house, soon had our miser-
able horses detached fro mthe vehicle
and comfortably stalled and fed in
the stable, which, from casual OBJ
servation, looked much more cozy
than the house-the latter, exteriorly
considered, being a long, one-story
