NEW TRAIL FROM RICHEL'S
TO HEARTH BEING BUILT

Another pack trail, similar to
the High-line and Slide Rock, is
being hewn out in the Beartooths
by The forest service. Eight men,
now working near the Main fork
of Rock creek, are at work on yhe
trail.
Tie route is to begin at the
Main fork, just north of Richel
lodge, and will wind up the face
of the mountain Wall on the west
side of the canyon. After crossing
the plateau, it will drop to the
shore of Timberline lake, a short
distance from the camp of the
Heart-Tee outfit tCamp Senia).
Within three weeks, horse trav-
ell over the trail viii be possible,
and it is likely that the route will
be in final condition in September.
This trail will increase the
number of excursion routes con-
verging at the intersection of the
Main Fork and Lake Fork, and
will facilitate horse travel between
Richels and the Hearth camp.

FROMBERG GAME
ENDS IN BURST OF
LOUD ARGUMENT
Ground Rules and Decision
on Second Cause Dispute.
Score not Definitely De-
termined.

Sundays ball game between
Red Lodge and F'romberg, played
on the Fromberg field, ended in
cloud of dissension and a chorus
of loud talk, the final score being
variously stated as a 2-2 tie, a
80 victory for Red Lodge. Players
and umpires retained individual
opinions as to which was the win
ming team, and fans can also make
individual decisions from a con-
sideration of the facts.
The game had progressed
smoothly, with Red Lodge leading
the Fromberg team by one run,
until the last half of the ninth
inning, when Fromberg came to
hat; the score at that stage of the
fracas was Red Lodge, 2, From
berg 1.
Pokarney, first up for From
berg, lined one out and pulled up
on second base; the next batter
was famed, and the next was
thrown out at first. Then with
two down and one on second,
Kennedy stepped into the batter's
box and poled out a hit to right
field.
Pokarney came home on the hit,
beating the throw from the field
to the plate, and tieing the score
at 2-all. AS Pokarney went home,
Kennedy rounded first base and
started for second Yanchisin,
Red Lodge catcher, failing to
catch Pokarney at home, immed-
lately pegged to Gregory on sec
on, and Gregory clapped the ball
on Kennedy while he was still
three feet away from the base.
Umpire Collins, from his position
behind the pitchers box, called
Kennedy safe at second
In sudden anger at this SEEM
ingly insane decision, Gregory
wheeled about and whipped the
ball at the umpire, who thought
fully lodged the throw. The ball
passed on over the third base
foul line and rolled under the
players bench at the side of the
field. With the throw, Kennedy
ran for third, and then came home.

EAGLE mine YIELDS
new COLLECTION TO
PRINCETON GROUP

Bones of ancient reptiles, i'm
bedded in what was once the mud
of a prehistoric lake, were dug
from the shale of the Eagle coal
mine near Bearcreek by biologists
of the Princeton expedition.
Upon invitation of ]. F. Lobdell,
superintendent of the Eagle mine,
Prof. w. A. Bucher, John Rouse,
and R. S. Cannon inspected the
mine strata last Monday and un-
covered a large pocket of the fos-
sils. These were the remains of
animals that died millions of years
ago, and sinking into the mud of
the ancient pond, were partly pre-
served through the years as the
mud became shale rock.
Although the Eagle mlne has
yielded a number of interesting
fossils, both of plant and animal
life, since its geological possibil-
tiles were first noticed by DR.. j.
G. F. Siegfriedt, this latest dis
covery is perhaps the most unique
find that has been made there.
After the fossils have been sorted
and classified they will be shipped
to Princeton university for fur
ther study.
Prof. Bucher left this region
again Tuesday to make investiga-
tions in the vicinity of Valley
ranch, accompanied by Rouse.
Prof. Nevin Fenneman, chair
man Of the department of geology
at the University of Cincinnati,
and DR.. Arthur Beven, state geol-
ogist of Virginia, arrived in Red
Lodge Monday to join the Prince
ton group. Prof. Bevan was ac-
companied by Mrs. Bevan, both of
whom will be known by many Red
Lodge people, as they have spent
previous summers in this terri
tory.
A triangulation crew of the u.
S. Coast and Geodetic Survey,
taking observations in this vicin-
ity last Saturday, had the coop
GRAFTON Of students of the Prince
ton group here.
The Coast and Geodetic Survey
under 1t. Hazelton with a party

lations across the Yellowstone
valley this summer, and last week
began to extend the line in SOU
therly direction. From Shane
ridge, north of here, their general
route is to extend south through
Colorado, possibly as far as the
Mexican border before the end of
the summer.
The Pryor mountain and the
vicinity of the Dry creek oil field
were used as observation points
near here. These points have now
been moved to the Hart mountain

COURT RULING ON
PETITION RESTRICTS
LEASING OF WATER
Surplus Water Must be Re-
turned to Channel to be
Distributed According to
Decree Says Judge.

Leasing, selling, Or free grant
ing of Carbon county water by
right holders will not be sanction
ed by the water commission, ac-
cording to decisions handed down
by Judge R. c. Stong before the
adjournment of the district court
last Thursday, July 80.
"It is apparent that by per-
mitting the older rights to lease
to others, the effect of the prior
ity to subsequent appropriations
which have been guaranteed by
decree is destroyed" said the
Court, in conclusion of the hear
ing on the petition of the Pleas
ant Valley Canal company, the
Rock and Clear Creek company
f. J. Putnam and others. This
petition, filed July "a, re-
quested that the court restrain
right holders from leasing decreed
water to users located further
down the stream of Rock creek,
claiming that such practices threw
an undue strain on the main
channel and worked resultant
hardship upon other right hold
ers.
After citing cases from Mon
tana courts, tending to prove that
ownership" Of water differs from
possession of physical property
that is capable Of corporeal pos
session, Judge Stong directed the
water commission not to recog-
nize the transferring of water
from the lands of right holders.
