August 6, 1914 100 years ago Headline: Saves mileage by fishing Sherrif P. J. Nacey and Hal Fagan made a flying trip into northern Sheridan County Saturday after one Ed Gibson who was wanted for passing worthless checks on several of the local merchants. Gibson has written a number of worthless checks while on a visit here some time ago but did not have any money in the Flaxville Bank, on which they were drawn. Sheriff Nacey caught him just as he was about to board the train, with probable intentions of going to Canada. He was brought back to... Full story
In Sunday's AMX action at the Phillips County Fair, Chinook's Mike Powell ran a 1976 Pontiac Lemans. He fell in love with the sport after experiencing it for the first time. "I just so happened to be here and saw it eight years ago," said Mike Powell, owner of KnuckleBuster auto shop in Chinook. "So my son and I went home and built a couple." Though his son would typically race along side him, Powell said his son wasn't at the fair because he was building derby cars for Glasgow's derby races,... Full story
Like father, like son is an overused cliche. For example, both of Michael Jordan's sons played basketball in college but neither lived up to the hype as their father did. Many sports can be taught. Rodeo is in the blood. Hailing from Dickinson, ND, 17-year-old Boyd Stroh is the son of Shawn and Shannon Stroh. Shawn has been a part of the National Finals Rodeo for 26 years. Boyd took the Phillips County Fair by storm this year. In a stable full of horses with plenty of attitude, Stroh was the onl... Full story
Not everyone earns the distinction of winning first place in Senior Showmanship in showing beef, but at this year’s Phillips County Fair Madison Waters did. She entered the judging area with her yearling Angus steer affectionately named, “Between the Bun.” She was asked by the judge, what is a major disadvantage for the beef industry? “I said, We have a lack of cattle and the lack of grassland,” Madison said. She was also asked what the daily gain of weight was for her specific yearling,... Full story

There’s nothing sweeter than the sight of a red and white bobber disappearing underwater. It’s probably what got me hooked on fishing. That and bluegill, which while I can’t remember back that far, were surely the first fish I ever caught. I thought I’d given up bluegill when I moved West. I’d already given up bobber fishing after my father taught me how to use a fly rod and cast tiny foam spiders in the stripper pits of southern Indiana. It was a more efficient way to catch panfish than using a... Full story
As the calendar flips to a new month I get to do one of my favorite things as the editor of the Phillips County News, i.e. looking through past volumes of this newspaper, one I was fortunate enough to inherent searching for old stories which peak my interest. I spend a solid eight hours scanning the pages of old newspapers for tidbits from the past that I find interesting …tidbits I hope you find interesting as well. Early on I found out the folks at Hi-line Retirement devote a time, once a week, to gathering to hear the Yesterday’s Phi... Full story
This year’s fair was pretty legit. I enjoyed it even more so than I did last year, due to the fact that I had the opportunity to attend more events. This was the first time I have ever seen a tractor pull. I have to admit I’d never put a vehicle under that much punishment. I will never hop on a bull to face two tons of fun after I’m thrown off like a rag doll. You couldn’t pay me to attempt to break a horse. All those things were cool to watch though. From a distance. Thank the Lord for that st... Full story
