VOLUME I.
EKALAKA, (CUSTER COUNTY) MONTANA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 1?, 1909.
NUMBER 33.
THE EKALAKA
RACE MEETING
The program for the "Carnival
of Sports" to be held here on
►September 9th and 10th has been
arranged and will be seen in this
issue. Of all the celebrations
and western "blow-outs" that
Ekalaka has had this will be the
best. Nothing is being left un
done to insure everyone a hearty
welcome and a royal good time.
One thousand dollars will be
given away in purees, etc. for
t in's big occasion which amount
will more than insure those who
wish to attend an excellent pro
gram. Each and every event
on the program will be "pulled
off" as advertised. We demon
strated to the visitors at our last,
celebration that "when it's done
in Ekalaka it's done right". Al
ready nearly $800.00 is offered in
purses for the races and ball
games and within a short time
the thousand dollar program will
be completed.
The relay race with a purse of
$150.00 will undoubtedly be a
good event as will even the ten
dollar wood sawing contest be
tween the "Rig Kid" and T. J.
Martin. This "stunt" is the re
sult of many hot arguments be
tween the two contestants as to
who was the best man on doing
the job and in order to settle all
grievances and ill feelings the
program committee decided to
let the parties prove their state
ments by sawing a little in pub
lic. Two ball games are booked
or the great celebration. The
iBaker boys will beyond a dou^t
(be here to play the home team
as will also the Pennville (S. D.)
boys who have a good fast team.
Make it a point to take in this
•"Carnival of sports and we'll
^au ran tee you'll n^ver regret it.
More details of the coming big
?vent will be given later.

K0K0M0, OH!
YOU K0K0M0
T he announcement in our last
issue of the Medicine-Rock Pic
nic has caused a great deal of
talk among \e residents of this
country and the rest of the out
side world. The town will be
deserted next Sunday so if you
wish to see him or her go out to
e big doings. Teddy Roosevelt
that owing to the
the piston exhaust
i has wired us
{breakage of
I on his African Escapeograph he
j will be unable to attend the affair
j which he regrets very much in
jdoed. But, never mind, Kokomo
h.vill be there. Have you cooked
I Li) the feathered foul? That's
j right. C-H-I -C -K-E-N, That's
the way to spell a good time and
a good feed. Dan Dague, a bro
ther of the "Big Kid" (too bad)
will manipulate the reins on the
"pie" wagon and wishes that all
who intend riding in his car
I would give him the high sign,
(wiggle your left ear) so that he
can have some idea of who will
be in his party, If you wish to
engage a seat in his car leave
word with the Big Kid. This
through train leaves at 7 o'clock
sharp in the morning from the
Union station near the town
pump so be on time. Meet me
at the rocks Sunday from sunrise
j to sunset and maybe then some
j - -Kokomo. I will have a very
valuable present in my pocket
! for the one who discovers who
fl am. Ask everyone, "Are you
j Kokomo" and whoever asks me,
1 gets the prize. You have seen
j me, you know but who I am is
! to be seen. The present I have
j f ^r you is also a mystery by will
I be forever remembered. Know
! me Kokomo.

BREAK EVEN
AT BAKER
Our ball team went over to
Baker last Saturday where they
played two games with the Baker
boys. The first game was a good
exhibition of the national sport,
there being very few errors on
both sides and ended with a
score of 7-5 in our favor. Cheat
wood pitched for our boys and
done excellent work while Sav
age, the Miles City pitcher held
the box for Baker.
The second game on Sunday
was a different story as the score
of G to 2 in Baker's grip shows.
Moore done the twirling for us
this time and held the opponents
down with only two safe hits. j
Where the game was lost was on !
the endless string of errors that
were made by our boys. The
Baker battery with a Miles pit
cher and a Marmarth catcher
didn't stop our boys from con
necting with the round leather
any and our boys say they will
"trim 'em up" when they come
here to play during the fair in
September

A. S. WAY
NOT GUILTY
In the hearing of A. S. Way,
which took place yesterday Jus
tice Gibb discharged Mr. Way.
The evidence showed that Tom
Lane, the complaining witness,
had a reputation as a tough,
if not disreputable character. He
was a big straping fellow while
Way was a ra ther elderly man
and testifed that he was afraid !
of Lane,who had made threats'
against him. It appeared that;
Lane had been refused a drink
at the bar where Way was tending i
j and had promised that if he was !
[ refused a drink when he offered i
j to pay for it there wonld be trou
; ble, wherefor Way considering ;
; himself in danger fired with his j
revolver the bullet grazing Lanes i
face and making a flesh wound, j
The Justice warned the defen-1
dant that a resort to fire arms j
was a very dubious piece of busi- '
ness at best and needed the ut- j
most necessity to justify it as the ;
j proper way would be to bring |
j complaint against the party that !
j threatened his life. —Journal. i

J A good illustration of pro
i gressiveness was shown a short
time ago when our "square deal
merchant" W. H. Peck, added
to his alaeady large stock a com
plete line of caskets and funeral
supplies. A line like this has
been a long felt want here for
many years and to have it now
will save considerable trouble and
inconveinence to those in need of
such supplies.
