Swift Salmon
State Game Warden DeHart has received a photograph of a land-locked salmon caught at Livingston, which has swum a distance of more than 200 miles from here it was planted in Yellowstone Lake. The government seven years ago placed 7,000 of these fish in that body of water. Nothing was ever heard of them until the one caught at Livingston, a distance of more than 200 miles. The fish had crossed the great falls and had passed through the grand canyon in its fight from the lake. It weighed eight pounds and two ounces, and has been mounted and sent to the chief of police of Billings.

Malta Man learns first hand – beware of thin ice
A Malta couple is warning people to beware the ice may be 13 inches thick on Nelson reservoir in most places but it can be dangerously thin in others.
Paula Bolland of Malta said Tuesday, "I don't know where I got that strength" after recalling for the PCN how she grabbed her Husband, Denis, and pulled him from the water after he crashed part way through a thin layer of ice which had formed over what had been the location of an ice fishing house.
Mrs. Bolland, who said her husband seemed to be in shock when the incident occurred, credited a "surge of adrenaline" for giving her the strength to pull him out.
