A WORD TO THE I
WISE
Merino Co. Appears to be L
About the Right Solution
Don't You Think so?
As a result of the recent bond
election there is some talk of aS
contest. Disappointed over the 0
outcome of the election some of d
the promoters of the proposition are
loud in condemnation of the voters
in the eastern end of the county. i
Especially some of the county offi
cers seem to forget that they were
elected by the vote of the whole 1
of Meagher county, that they are l
the servants of the people instead
of loyal acquiesence in the will of 1
the majority. that they have en- 1
listed with those whose vision is
bounded by the limits of their
own local community. From all
tangible sources it is apparent that
the progress and development made
in eastern Meagher county in the
1 past three years, is much greater
than that made in the west end,
1 hence the jealousy manifested by
our brethern across the Belts. The
a time is now at hand when Meagh
e er county will be divided. The
facilities for reaching White Sulph
e ur Springs are intolerable. There
e is little doubt that as soon as the
assessors returns are made up peti
r tions will be presented to the
commissioners of Meagher county
1- for a special election for the crea
' tion of a new county. We predict
n that by January Ist, 1912, the or
m ganization of Merino county will
o have been completed.

OUR BOYS AGAIN
VICTORIOUS
Local Team Adds Twodot's
Scalp to Rapidly Accum
ulating Bundle
Though weather conditions last
Sunday were the most unfavorable
of the season, they in no wise,
dampened the enthusiasm of the
fans. A game was scheduled with
Twodot, and it was 4 o'clock be
fore the cow town aggregation ar
rived on their hand car special.
The Twodot team was some
what crippled and was reinforced
by two recruits from the round
house. A good bunch of rooters
graced the side lines, and shivered
throughout the seven innings, dur
ing which the Harlowtonites gave
the visitors an awful drubbing.
Andy Stevens, the White Sulphur
Springs south paw, did the heav
ing for the visitors, and the way
the home boys lambed his twirlers
to all points of the compass made
the oldest fans dance with joy.
(lervetti and Moe, the Harlowton
battery, were the stellor perform
ers for the home team, Gervetti
striking out fourteen men during
the game. The base running of
Husband, Campbell, Caine, Ger
vetti and Moe kept the Twodot
players disconcerted, and the in
accuracy in base throwing was re
sponsible for the one-sided score.
Rice, for the visitors, featured in
- his stick work, scoring a home run,
double and single. The final score
- at the end of the 7th: Harlowton,
1 14; Twodot, 4. Herb Hawley held
the indicator, and the game was
minus the jawing and quibbling
that has usually characterized
games between these two teams.
V Next Sunday we meet Martins
I dale on the home grounds if weath
t er conditions are favorable. The
f game will be played at the fair
L grounds. A stiff game is assured,
t- and everybody invited.
