South Fork Town
By Jay EllefsOn

A sad tragedy was committed
down by the South Fork bridge
Tuesday about 4:30. Lady, our
good neighbours watchdog, was
killed by a person with a high
powered rifle using soft-7osed
shells. Lady had been in the
house all day and had just been
let out about 80 minutes before it
happened. What makes it so sad
was that she is kept in the house
at night and has had no chance
to kill deer. Smoky, dog from
Martin City, is the leader Of that
bunch and is not all night; he got
away. He is suspected of killing
deer. wish they would be more
careful at whose dog they shoot,
for this time a pet was killed.
Along with the sad we must
have some joy in the form Of ell
which at last came to
South Fork. Three residents, Al
vim Nash, Donald Nash and Clark
Harlan have it. It is quite an inn
over the old pump
away gas lanterns.
Marlin Nash and his family
are spending a few days in Havre
with relatives and friends.
Jack Rohr is in Shelby again.
He may return home in a few
days.
Mrs. Bart and her son, John,
have returned to Westminster,
