There were several small local-interest articles in the Oct. 16, 1914 issue of the Hingham Review. The following are featured for this 41st of statehood, complete with misspelling:
New Saloon Opened
On Wednesday of this week Ashton More opened his new bar in the Park Hotel building, having leased the property of Mrs. Bruce. He also took charge of the hotel, which will run on the European plan and no meals will be served. The new saloon has not been named yet, but inside the next week it will be given a name and its ad will appear in next week’s paper.
It is contended that the granting of a third saloon license in Hingham is unlawful. And in fact this is a matter of controversy in the district court at the present time. About this the writer does not pretend to know anything. However, if it is lawful, we would just as soon Mr. More would have it as anoyne we know of.”
A European plan for hotels one hundred years ago meant lodging only; no meals were provided by the hotel. The room had either a shared bathroom, or some hotels offered private bathrooms for a higher price. A prime example in Montana of this type of hotel that you can still stay in today is the historic Madison Hotel in West Yellowstone. Other plans included the Continental, which served breakfast consisting of fruit, breads, baked goods, coffee, tea and juice (no cooked food), the American plan which had three meals provided by the hotel, or the Modified American which served breakfast and either lunch or dinner.
Died at Sanitarium
J. F. Flemming of Gold Stone, who was taken to the Sanitarium three weeks ago with a broken leg which he received in a runaway, died Monday afternoon of blood poisoning. The broken limb was fractured so badly that nothing could be done for it.
The deceased leaves a wife, who is a cousin to Dr. Husser, and one small child. They have unbounded sympathy in their sad bereavement. The remains were taken for interment to the former home of the family at Madison, Wis.
Married at Havre
Last Tuesday at Havre two south side young people were united in marriage, Miss Barbara Koukol and Mr. F. J. Voda. Rev. Fr. Sansone performed the ceremony. They returned to Hingham Wednesday and they will live on the groom’s claim.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Voda came from Jackson, Minn., last winter, and the former filed on land ten miles south of town. Mr. Voda is a prosperous farmer and both he and his bride have made friends of all in the community, who wish them the greatest of happiness.
Lost in the Mountains
Word was received early in the week from F. L. Spaulding and Dr. A. A. Husser, who are hunting in the mountains near Belton, that their guide had become lost in the mountains and that they were keeping the camp open in hopes that he might return. No report has been received yet at this writing on Thursday of the recovery of the unfortunate man.
The report was brought by Dr. Buisson of Chester, who had been in camp with the others. Later telegraphic communications were had with the party and the situation had not been changed.
And, of course, some great tidbits can be found in the social pages:
