The community dinner which had been an
nounced would take place on Thursday
evening in honor of Senator B. K. Wheeler,
has been postponed and will take place Sat
urday evening. This banquet is being given
under the auspices of the Beartooth Boost
ers Club, and had been arranged for Thurs
day evening because it w r as thought that the
party taking Senator Wheeler over the pro
posed road would return today. A telephone
message received Wednesday morning and
later in the day some messages were brot
in by Mr. M. E. Martin, from Mr. Shelley, to
the effect that Senator Wheeler had ex
pressed a desire to take more time and make
a thorough investigation. It is therefore
thought probable that the party will go on
to Cooke City, over the entire route of the
proposed road and view the wonderful pro
jects at Cooke City, returning to Red Lodge
sometime Saturday.
The dinner will be given at the Workers
Hall under the supervision of Mr .William
McIntyre, and the charge will be one dollar
a plate. The hour has been changed from
6:45 to 8:00 o'clock to permit the business
men to be there on time. The wives of busi
ness men are invited and every one will be
welcome. This will be an opportunity for all
those who are interested in the proposed
road from Red Lodge to Cooke City to hear
first-hand Senator Wheeler's views of the
undertaking and his impressions of the won
derful Beartooth mountains. Undoubtedly
he will have extremely favorable views of
the new road.

herself through the left breast, the
bullet piercing the heart. Dr. Sieg

and the woman was then removed to
