The Homestead town basket ball
team played a return game here last
Saturday with our town team. The
audience was very small but from re-
ports they give of the game, we be-
heve next time there wouldn't be
standing room as it was fast and

ended with a score of IL to IL in
favor of Antelope.
The preacher last Sunday morning
closed his temperance sermon in
burst of oratory. "If l had my way"
he shouted, "every drop of liquor in
this country would be poured into the

We are all wondering what chance
any basket ball team would have in
this district if Plentywood had four
more players on their team. We
have what we believe to be a five
star team ana they tell US they find
it a mans job to take some of these
one-man star teams to camp but they
VIII and can do it.
Mrs. Alf. Hoven was on the sick
list last week with a bad cold.
The Plentywood Herald must have

forgot to mention how the people Of
that neck Of the woods did feel about
it.
Mrs. Eva Taylor of the Homestead
school, is the rev teacher Of the 7th

Great Northern railroad tracks about

was sentenced to serve not less than
~ nor more than 40 years in the
state penitentiary at Deer Lodge bv
Judge H. H. Ewing this morning.
Before passing sentence Judge Fw-
ing asked the defendant if he mad
any reason to give why sentence
should not be pronounced. Christ
gave a short mo" in reply.
Judge Ewing then said that the
crime of which he had been convict
eQ by a jury was a most heinous one.
His act had been particularly infam-
Gus as by it he had deliberately en-
dangered the lives of a large num-
Der OF innocent people including
women and children.
The fact that he had placed the
ties on the track close to curve
where the engineer of an approach
ing train could not see the obstruc-
ton until within so feet of it made
1t even more reprehensible if such a
thing were possible.
The legislature, the court added.
IN fixing the punishment for such
crimes at from five years up to life
had taken into account the danger
to human life involved and had fixed
this severe punishment in accord with
it. Judge Ewing then pronounced
sentence.
Christ made no show of emotion or
even interest when the court fixed
his punishment. The crime for which
he was sentenced to Deer Lodge was
committed last May.
