The Myhrs Sell
Evergreen Mote!
Mr. and Mrs. L. D, Myhr have sold
the Evergreen Motel to Mr. and
Mrs. Jack Flemmer who will take
possession Thursday, Oct. 14.
Mr. and Mrs. Myhr have operated
the Motel since Sept. 10, 1943 when
it was a small tourist cabin camp,
known as the Dalton Cabins. In
1945 they built an addition of four
modern apartments and re-named
the business "The Evergreen Motel."
It is a very attractive corner and
a credit to the city of Libby.
Mr. and Mrs. Flemmer are new
comers to Libby, formerly of Buelah
and Cooperstown, No. Dak., where
they were engaged in the hotel
business. Mrs. Flemmer is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. O.

veteran having served in the U. S.
Navy as a first class petty officer,
engaged in five major battles both
in the Atlantic and the Pacific.
The transaction was made thru
the Maurer Realty Company and is
the largest made in Lincoln County
for some time.
DEER SEASON TO
OPEN TOMORROW
There has been considerable
bustle and preparation during the
past week in anticipation of the
big game season which opens on
deer tomorrow morning in Lincoln
county in common with the most
of the open section throughout the
state.
In addition to deer, the opening
also applies to grizzly bear which,
are protected except during the reg
ular big game season. The black
(and brown) bear season opened
April 15 and runs till the closing
of the regular big game season Nov
ember 15.
Last year deer hunting was poor
in Lincoln County up until the last
few days of the season, rains and
no snow earlier allowing the white
tail deer to keep in the brush and
feed on mushrooms, while the lack
of snow failed to drive the muledeer
down from the high country and
more inaccessible territories.
The season promises to start with
dry, hard hunting this year. The
dates include from October 15 to
November 15. Remember, see ant
lers before you shoot!

taken during the season and other
data of conservation interest. The
Lincon County stations will be at

the Fisher River Road and U. S. 2
at foot of Ek Hill: where the Stry
ker Road leaves U. S. 93 in the

Sometime after midnight Sunday,
October 10, Hargreaves' Store was
broken into through the rear side
door which had been nailed shut.
It is believed that at least two
men committed the burglary as the
only article taken was a steel cab
inet. containing the retords of the
store's accounts, which was far too
heavy for one man to handle
The exact time of the robbery has
not been determined but it is be
lieved it occurred sometime after
midnight as the night patrolman
reports, at that time he had made
his rounds and that there was no
signs of activity in or around the
store.
The theft was discovered Mon
day morning by Mr. Hargreaves
when he opened his store for the
days business.
An investigation is under way,
but up to this time no arrests have
been made.
Mrs. L. E. Yaple went to White
fish Saturday to visit her father.
