Finest Showing of Neckware
Our first shipment of Cheeney neckwear for men has just arrived, and we don't not exaggerate when we make the assertion that they are the swellest line of patterns ever displayed in this city. The styles are tubular four-in-hand, positively the most durable tie on the market today. Narrow and medium widths in the popular flowing end four-in-hand and latest widths in bat-wings.
Prices, 50 cents, 75 cents, $1 and $1.25.

Items taken from the files of the Enterprise 15 years ago (1901.)
The famous sheep case between Wilson and Taylor vs. Green and Phillips has been settled. The sheep were sold to B.D. Phillips for $2.50 per head.
Sunday evening about 8 o'clock an unknown man staggered into the M & M Livestock Co.'s sheep camp 18 miles north of Harlem. His feet, face and hands were frozen black. He told the boys in the camp that he had been out three days and had no idea where he was. It seems that he had left some town in a drunken condition and had wandered away until when he came to his senses he did not know where he was or in what direction from town or the railroad, and he would have frozen to death if he had not fortunately run across the camp. His name cannot be learned, but he is of Irish decent, about 35 years old.

HED: Hot-Ten-Tots Play Kats Wed., Feb. 12
Manager Lou Perry, of the undefeated Malta Kats, has announced that arrangements have been made for the Hot-Ten-Tots, colored AAU champs, to play here next Wednesday night in the City Hall.
The Hot-Ten-Tots are exponents of Zulu basketball magic and play the first half of the game attired in grass skirts and war paints. Their snappy ball-handling is reputed to be second to none and their antics afford crowds much amusement. The Tots feature players with such odd names as King Goo Ga and Rajah Boogie Boo have excellent reputations as entertainers and their ability is attested by the long string of victories they have over some of the finest independent squads in the country.
Manager Perry has not announced his starters against the Hot-Ten-Tots but is expected the Hotz Fraters, Dick and Jim will be forwards, with Joseph "Bags" Baginski at center, George Brandon and Al Rasmussen at guards. Also available are Harold Ebaugh, center, hero of the Glasgow Jaycee game, and the Ivanish brothers, Emil and Louis.
Pinball games are banned by court
The Montana Supreme Court ruled that pinball games violate gambling status and are not trade stimulators. The unanimous opinion, written by Justice Albert H. Angstam in the case of Edward T. Dussault vs. Ralph Kilburn et al., upheld a decision by the Missoula County District Court.

HED: Bad week for store fronts, lots of damage
"I went to the post office to get the mail and my car came in after me," said Horace Mann about 1 p.m. Sunday. The car, which he thought he had parked, evidently slipped into gear and moved into the front of the post office.
Several cherry bombs were set off on Main Street Sunday about 2 a.m. Lots of noise but no damage was reported by Policeman Howard Dopp. The bombs were fixed with a long fuse as no one seemed to be around when the officers investigated.
