the two games which piled up "a runs
for the Beltites while the visitors
made grand total of three runs.
The first game was won by score
of ID to / and the second game was
was closer, Belt winning 10 to 2
The visitors were confident because
of their to 0 victory over the home
guard on the 18th when Hanson al
lowed our boys only three small hits,
but the Belt sluggers soon dissipated
all the Woodmen's hopes and kept the
infielders and the outfieIders break
ing their necks trying to get some of
the fusilade of hits which came at
them or over their heads.
The first game started with Nor
row in the box for Belt. PEPPER went
out Butler to Culver. Dimpke struck
out Gabbert then hit what should
have been only a single but it bound
ed bad and got past both Harper and
Donovan and Gabbert landed on third
base. McRae followed with a clean
hit, bringing Gabbert home. Ruther-
ford flew out to Fluhr. This ended
the scoring of the Woodmen in the
first game.
Belt started the game off with
rush. Butler smashed one too hot for
he shortstop to handle and got first.
Fluhr put the second ball over the
'ence in left scoring Butler ahead of
him. The next three went out in or

The Vows threatened again in the

Belt climbed into third place in the
County league Wednesday night by
blanking the A. c. M. TO 0. This
game dropped the Shelters into a tie
for fourth with the Woodmen, which
is new level in the standings for
both clubs for the season.
Belt runs were all gathered in the
fourth and fifth frames. A pair of
Valley hits in the fourth populated
the bags and spasm of wild heaving
put the runs across. The only differ
ence in the fifth was that there was
more hitting, more wild base throw
more runs. Weir was the

The Wow center fielder made a
phenominal catch of fly ball that
brought applause from all the fans.
Butler looks good at second base.
Watson was little nervous at first
but steadied down as soon as the boys
had given him comfortable lead and
was master of the situation there
after. He is evidently acquainted with
the purpose of stick if you will look
at the score. He holds men on bases
well and throws on occasion with the
speed and accuracy of bullet.
After Nohl took position behind
the catcher there was no question
about his correctness on balls and
strikes.
Benny Gassock was in a Belt uni-
form for the first time.
Weir can beat any man in the

CITY REVENUE
CUT DOWNtBY
COURT RULING

The Supreme Court of the state sf
Montana recently rendered decision
in the case of the Wibaux Improve
ment association, corporation.
against w. A. Breitenstein, treasures
of Wibaux county, that city council
may not levy taxes In excess of ten
mills for the current expenses of tn
city.
This levy is declared to apply to
value after classification for purposs.
of taxation and not on full value.
Under misspprehension of the l.v
Belt has been paying Ian mills for
several years. This levy was dividsd
as follows for the year 1922: general
fund, 4 mills; contingent fund, 1x
mills; police fund, / mill; fire fund.
IN mills; street fund, 2 mills, and
road fund, Az mills.
This levy raises not to exceed slaos
for the general fund, $3.50 for the con-
tingent fund, $500 for the police fund.
$450 for the fire fund and S21OO for
the street fund. The latter fund il n
deeply in the red that after taking m
registered warrants and paying IT,

on the principal
Under this decision Az mills munk
be cut off the levy and where to cuk
it is the problem of the city council

ment. Anaconda, Big Sandy, Bie

There is an alternative to cutting
he levy which those who wish to d

Tor the citizens at special election
,alled for that purpose to vote an ID
titionAl tax to an amount not exceed-
ng five mills.
But we doubt the ability Of the city
'ouncil to get special levy past the
'oters even were they disposed TO do
o. Belt viii have to get along on 4
mailer levy. The great difficulty N
oing this is that the state laws have
made 1t mandatory upon the cities 10
