HUNTERS GET
VENISON AFTER
SEVERE TRIALS
J. W. Le land and Walter Blom
quiat huneted at Loggii^r Creek Sun-'
day and Monday. Blomquist states
that by actual count he walked 720
miles but the most that he saw wa*
tracks. ,
Other hunters had been there and
... _ . . _ ,_. . . , ,
had packed away large fat bucks and
. /_, , . _ .
no wonder the local hunters were de
e
jected. Finally Mrs. George Poe tier
took pity on the Belt men as they sat
down to breakfast and informed
them that if they stepped out the
' 'back door and climbed up on the
first little bench of the mountain
they would have better lock.
Walter was four inches shorter
than on Sunday. He had worn that
much off his legs walking over the
hills bat Jay took the tip and after
ten minutes walk, sighted a fat buck,
and brought it down just as his cart
ridge belt began to play out Moral,
look for deer where you know there
ain't any.

Dave Bodkins heard from hid lost
horses Monday and started for Pil
grim creek to get them. As s pm
tectlon against Indians he took his
trusty 30-80 along. As he toped
along on his way he became eons
cious that something was following
faim. He looked down at his trusty
S0-80 which was strapped above tto
sldrts of his saddle, under his right
leg. and wondered whether he would
have time to get h.s gun out tor
protection. Hu. pursuer seemed
be gaming on him, Dave dug
spurs into his horse s flanks ano
. prayed for help as he fumbled with
the straps holding his rifle. In som*
way the gun was discharged which
frightened the horse so that he »t
tempted to burrow into a snow bank
at the side of the trail. Dave dug *
few drifts from his eyes and looked
back over the trail which he had just
burned. Imagine his surprise to see
deer's antlers rising from a heap in j
the snow. Inspection proved it to be
a large buck shot through the heart.
Evidently the animal thought
tiie season was closed a day too soon
and was angered at the intrusion ox J
a man with a gun. Unquestionably
had not this lucky shot downed the
* pursuer,' he would have eaten the
tails of Dave's coat. This story la
vouched for by several unsuccessful
hunters.

PROMISE STAONB
TEAM IN FALL
The football team of the Belt Val
ley High School played only three
games this season against outside
teams. . They tied with Great Falls
Seconds twice and defeated Stanford.
Considering the fact that many of
the team were playing their first
games, their success was unexpected
and possiblv worked to theii disad
vantage since Geraldine and Stanford
cancelled other scheduled games.
The team has disbanded, their
suits have been turned In, but the
boys are busy with plans tor next
„ .
During this season two teams have,
almost every evening, been out fo.
practise and next year will find a
full squad who have had some ax
perience in the game. Each boy is
i planning on directing some other
boy's eyes toward Belt High for the
fall term and they say that they will
have a re«} team next year. They
have the spirit and have been
wondering whether Coach MacPonala
will cal! them out for spring practise
in order that they may not forgot
