BELT, MONTANA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1926 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.

The 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 what they have learned in line play. With such spirit shown among them It is not to be wondered at that the coech I* not considering games with hut class A teams for next year. fall.

The manner In which the line got into each play is especially 1 encouraging to all those who sro "etching the Belt team. The Belt public should boost for the boy, wherever possible and let no man that promiaes to make ^ from the local school.
