CAPTAIN ACRE STARS
AS BISMARCK MAKES
BASKETBALL DEBUT
Local Team Holds Visiting 49,
gregation to Solitary
Field Goal
HAYES USES Nine PLAYERS
Play Is Ragged in Spots With
Outfits Showing Evidence
of Creeness

Nine candidates for first string
berths saw action as the Bismarck
Demons smothered Hebron, % to 4,
in the seasons basketball opener at
the high school gymnasium Saturday
night.
Held at bay by an alert Demon de-
Tense throughout the contest, the
Brickmakers scored but one field goal.
Unable to work the ball within shoot
ing range, the visiting aggregation
had to content itself with making a
determined but futile effort to break
up the Bismarck offensive.
To Captain Eddie Agre, spark plug
of the Demon quint, went the honorS
of the evening. He dropped in two
field goals in the first half and three
in the second in addition to sinking a
free throw to amasS q total Of II
points.
It was his work on the floor, how
ever, that stamped the Bismarck lead
er as the outstanding performer Of
the evening. He roamed all over the
floor to break up the Hebron offense
time after time in addition to being
the outstanding figure in the Demon
attack.
1t was the first game Of the season
for Bismarck and the fact was re-
Elected in the rough spots in the play
of the team. They handled the ball
poorly at times, were guilty OF a num-
Der of bad passes, and went a trifle
berserk in the last quarter when they
took shot after shot from the middle
of the floor.
Coach George Hays used all nine Of
his possible regulars, substituting
throughout the contest to give each
man an opportunity to perform under
fire.
The veteran Green played we'll at
guard and Schlickenmeyer showed he
had enough to indicate that he will
probably develop into a capable guard
as a running mate to Green. Shep-
ard started at center and alternated
with Murphy in holding down the
pivot position.
Finnegan and Normie Agre were
used at forward to pair up with Eddie
Agre. Bob Stackhouse and Manney
we're sent in at forward and center
respectively.
The Demons started the scoring
fireworks in the opening minutes 81
play to pile up IA points in the first
quarter only to be held scoreless in
the second. They came back at hall
time, however. to pile Is more points
in the last two stanzas.
Shepard was runnerup to Eddie
Agre in scoring honors with three
field goals to his credit. Fnnegar
and Schlickenmeyer each made two
while Normie Agre and Green con-
tributed one each.
Watts dropped in Hebron's lone
field goal, Jaeger and Fechner each
counted on a free throw.

RATTIESNAKE AND PRAIRIE
DOG DO NOT LIVE TOGETHER

BOHEMIAN, Oct. 19-The theory that
a rattlesnake and prairie dog live to-
gether tremendously has been known
to be false for some time and from
w. F. Hardin of Malta comes the in
formation that the two animals will, on
occasion, fight desperately.
Hardin, as foreman Of a prairie dog
poisoning crew was attracted by the
peculiar action of dog. Curious as to
the reason, he approached quietly and
saw prairie dog trying to dislodge
a rattlesnake that had ensconced him
self In particularly high mound
Neither animal paid the slightest at
tention to Hardin and silently strug-
gled for supremacy. The dog, very
much alive to the menace OF the snakes
fangs approached the mound cautious
~ until fairly close to his enemy.
Then he darted forward and as
the snake struck, sprang into the air
to fall back just out Of reach. The
actions Of the two were lightning like
in speed and Hardin could not see
the snake sunk in his fangs

HURD SUFFERS
S2,00J.00 FIRE LOSS

AT about one o'clock Sunday morn
ing fire broke out in the saw mill shed
on the Charley Hurd farm east of
town on the Lake creek road. A des-
perate effort was made to save the
barn which was near the burning shed
but the fire had gained such Roadway
that il was not possible to save any
of the contents of the building which
consisted of four automobiles, a trac-
tor and all small farm implements
The automobiles consisted of Star
touring car, Ford touring and Ford
roadster as we'll as a Dodge touring
ard Fordson tractor.
The barn, livestock and feed was all
saved after desperate fight with the
flames and it is understood that no
insurance was carried on the building
and contents Origin of the fire is not
known. but it is thought that a short
in one OF the automobiles in the build
ing may have been the cause of touch
ing off the blaze as il was started in
the interior Troy Tribune.

at each attack Blood on the prairie
dogs chest showed however that al
least few of the deadly strikes had
reached home.
As he watched the battle Hardin
saw that the snake was coiled in such
a position that the prairie dog could
approach only from the front. Each
time as the dog darted in. the snake
struck, then coiled quickly and before
the dog could approach from the only
open entrance, the snake was ready and
waiting As Hardin's sympathies went
out to the dog, he was on the point of
stopping the unequal fight when the
coming Of his men broke it up. A
very sick dog was allowed to crNvl into
a nearby hole unmolested. Hardin said
the snake was apparently uninjured
The crew shared his sympathy for the
valiant little dog.

FOREST FUNDS ARE
ALLOTTED COUNTIES

MISSOULA.-Mo Montana counties con-

600, to be distributed by the Forest
Service from the receipts of lumber
sales and grazing fees. The money
given to the counties is to be used
building and improving roads and
schools The amount is $50 of the en-
tire collections made from such sources
for the fiscal year 1881. it has been
announced
In addition, the state will receive
S26,86079 to be used for roads and
trails in the national forests. This con-
stitutes 1919 of the receipts of the For
est Service in the area for the year.
Western Montana counties will re-
ceive large share of this allotment,
as the Lolo, the Cabinet, the Bitter
Root, the Flathead, the Blackfeet and
the Kootenai forests cover large part
Of the region.
The government announces that the
Forest Service collections from sales
of timber and grazing fees fell from
$6,75l 600 to nearly $5,0O0,000 in one
year. This was principally due to the.
condition of the lumber market and the
new regulations put into effect in re-
