Emily Mayer Two big announcements of local interest were made in the November 14, 1914, issue of The Hill County Democrat. The first was the announcement that the Hill County Courthouse bond had passed: HAVRE TO HAVE A COURT HOUSE It was a good piece of news that was given out early this week that Havre will have a court house.

Lacking most signs of those qualities commonly referred to as feminine, I have been content to go through life as I started it, as a tomboy. Life would be a jean-clad and dirty finger-nailed slice of heaven if this were the end of the story. However, my constant companion, Irony, not being one to leave well-enough alone, did give me a few feminine traits, and chief among those is body image issues that plague primarily females. This problem is also called “imagined ugliness,” though I and everyone else with the problem would...
Laurel: Police are generally skeptical about speaking to the press about cases under investigation. Often, we think, this is counterproductive. Police keep quiet even if it would be in their best interests to let the public know what they are doing. This is not true of the Chippewa Cree Police Department which opened up its files about the Robbie Alexander case. Alexander has been missing more than a year, leading to all kinds of rumors on Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation. Officers shared the information with the Havre Daily...

But for the first time in six meetings, the Argos made sure there was no storybook ending for the Lights. Thursday night, inside a rowdy Armory Gymnasium, UGF snapped a five-match losing streak to Northern by holding off a dramatic Lights’ com...
