Early Cowboys
Rest In Poker
Jim Cemetery

There is on a scenic point over
looking the Little Missouri River
not far from Dave Creighton's
ranch, a small burial ground
known as Poker Jim Cemetery.
1t was started many years ago,
even before the cowboy known
as Poker Jim was found frozen,
But Poker Jim was buried there,
hence its name.
Since then there have been
several notable characters laid
to rest there. Some of them be-
ing Bill Stewart, Lucky George,
Robert and Scott Gore.
1t was the wish of Chester
Davis to be buried in this Peace
full Cowboys Paradise and his
wish was granted.
There was no fence around this
cemetery and the old graves were
very badly neglected all these
many years. The railroad issued a
deed for this plot of ground for
a cemetery.
So after Chester was laid to
rest here, his wife, Regina Da-
Wis, went about doing something
about it. She, with her friends
and neighbors, raised enough
funds for the necessary material.
Chris Stensrud gave the posts but
they had to be cut and brought
out of some very rough badlands.
This the men and boys of the
community did on Sept. %, and
they all got together and did the
job and what a wonderful job
it was. 1t improved the cemetery
one hundred per cent. At a later
date they plan to hang a sign
over the gate.
Mrs. Davis wishes, through this
column to thank all the wonder
full friends and neighbors who
graciously gave of time and
donations towards the fencing of
the Poker Jim Cemetery, and
the ladies for the food they pro-
1t was a job well done.
Some day it will stand as a me-
mortal and tribute to the old
who helped and worked
so hard to make it possible for
us to live here. Because Chester
is buried there, she personally
wishes to say THANK you from
the bottom of my heart, and may
God bless you ALL" 1t is things
like this and all the kindly deeds
that friends and neighbors do for
each other in all the communi-
ties across this great land that
makes our country such a Won
ierful place to live.

Final Appeal by
Mayor Mercer

Mayor Mercer today issued a
final appeal to all citizens to Join
in the observance of Fire Pre-
vention Week, October 6-12. The
Mayors statement said:
at is gratifying to me to note
the keen interest and the extern
sive preparations evidenced in
making this event one of out
standing accomplishment in elm
mating fire hazards in Sidney"
The Mayor said further, with
additional homes being built thru
out the city and with large old
houses being converted to multi
ple-dwellings or other uses, new
fire prevention problems are aris-
ing. Occupants of multiple ten
ancy dwellings are faced with
greater fire hazards than those
in single units. Therefore, it is
to the interest of our city to
start a year-round campaign for
fire safety so that needless loss
of life and destruction of proper
erty may be prevented"
Babe Turner, chairman of Fire
Prevention Week, followed the
Mayor with this statement:
"This is, as the Mayor has said,
a community effort. The cam
paign will succeed in proportion
to the number of individuals par
ticipating in it. Every day, dur
ing Fire Prevention Week, we
will feature activities in which
every one Of us can take part.
"The Sidney Chamber of Com
merce and Sidney Volunteer Fire
Department are enrolled in the
National Inter-Chamber Fire
Safety Contest, a nationally or
ganized fire prevention move
ment sponsored by the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States.
eat the close of the year we
will report in this contest, and
we hope to place Sidney among
the winners of national honors
for cities of our class as we have
for the past two years. 1t is,
therefore, important that we
achieve a high standing for OBJ
servance of Fire Prevention
Week."

For the first time in the his
tory of the two schools the Sid
ney Eagles and Billings Contra.
Rams will meet on the gridiror
this Friday night. The Ram:
have been in the Glass A con-
ference the past two years, how
ever were not on the locals
schedule.
This will be the final home
game for the 1857 Eagles and
will also mark the last home
game for nine Sidney seniors. At
ter this week three games; Har-
din, Miles City and Laurel, re-
main to be played but all are
on the road. The Sidney seniors
are: Dean Johnson, Doyle Dot
ston, Kendall Habedank, Ron
Quilting, Dale Winter, Dick Hell
ten, John Marman, Clifford Tyree
and Fred Ford.
Billings Central, defending
Glass A Champions, move into
Sidney with a won one, lost one
league record. They defeated
Laurel 20-6 and lost last week
to Miles City 60. Against non
conference foes they lost to Glass
AA Bozeman 40-6 and Sheridan,
Wyo., 34-6.
A few weeks ago the Billings
Central team was hard hit with
the flu. Because of this two
games with Hardin and Great
Falls were postponed until No
vember.
Last weeks loss to Custer was
played on a snow-swept field
which saw the Rams hold a COM
handing lead in all statistics but
the score. Without a break for
the Cowboys this game probably
would have ended in a scoreless
tie.
The Rams are big. Undoubted-
ly the biggest Sidney will face
all season. Their forward wall
averages 100 pounds per man
just % pounds better than the
Eagles. Coach Jim Thelan. in his
first year at Central, will prob
ably start Bert Emery 100 and
Bill Polly, 1872 at ends. The
tackles will be Mike Thompson
80 and Wally Herzog, also 21O.
At the guard spots Joe Kurka
1875 and Bob Monaco 155 will
start and 1876 pound Ken Adler
at center. Starters in the back
field will be quarterback Kerry
Feldman $50, halfbacks Leroy
Samuelson $50 and Al Fisher 145
and fullback Frank Purtz 100
pounds.
The Central Rams offense OPP
crates from the split T-forma-
ton using a TANKER most of the
time. Feldman is n of the bet
ter quarterbacks in the state and
,an be expected to pass a great
Zeal should conditions permit it.
Sidney recovering from their
,irst league loss to Havre last
week are expecting a real tough
game with the Rams. Coach
Shading indicated earlier this
week that some changes would
De made in his lineup and he
wouldn't have a definite starting
until game time.
The Havre loss indicated more
work was needed on defense thus
much of this weeks practice was
ipent in this manner. When Sid

points on a snow covered field

HAVRE 80 = SIDNEY 10
An unblemished record was

tories and the Blue Ponies are
batting 500 having won two and
lost two.
This was a high scoring game
last Friday, considering the play
ing conditions. The field was
covered with now and the tenn
perature was below the freezing
mark. Undoubtedly this was a
detriment to the Sidney eleven
having practiced all week in 80
