By Emily Mayer It isn’t much of a surprise to see a lot of court news in the Hill County Democrat as its owner, J. K. Bramble, was an attorney. Cases regarding prohibition were among the entries, including this article found on the front page of the Dec. 4, 1919, edition: MORE INFORMATIONS FILED. There were three or four new informations filed in the district court this week by County Attorney Stranahan relating to alleged blind pigging cases. We presume these cases are as groundless as the ones heretofore filed and this endl...

John S. Adams Montana Free Press Montana U.S. Sens.

Tester, a Democrat, first introduced federal legislation in 2016 to ratify the CSKT-Montana compact passed by the 2015 Montana Legislature, but that legislation stalled without bipartisan support. Daines, a Republican, is now the lead...

Tonight is a big, big night for both the Montana Grizzlies and the Montana State Bobcats.

Northern (6-1) will play in the Cactus Classic, starting with huge game Saturday night against No. 21 Arizona Christian...
You know, Lord, why we write “Xmas” instead of “Christmas,” the short-hand way, got us curious; so, we stopped at the library. A book of origins explained some of the things we do at Christmas. One reference stated: “If you wonder why Christmas is sometimes written “Xmas,” it’s because “X” is the Greek equivalent of “Ch,” used to represent the word “Christ.” “Xmas.” A dictionary refers one to XP (the same as Christmas), as the first two letters (chi and rho) of the Greek word “khristos,” a symbol or emblem for Christ. After C...
Having only been an Assembly of God minister, I have never been a part of a religious tradition that celebrates the Advent Season.

This week’s religious article covers “What is Advent?” and the first and second weeks of Advent, as we have celebrated them. Next week’s article will cover the third and fourth weeks of Advent...
Out our way winter, can be harsh, but as Charlie often reminded me, it is a small price to pay for the glories of spring, summer and winter on the Hi-Line. And although we do have the infamous “Alberta Clippers” that can drop several feet of snow and drop the thermometer to minus 40 at times, God also sends us the chinook winds that remind us winter is not forever. Although Biblical scholars acknowledge that Dec. 25 is not likely Christ’s actual birthday — the passage in Luke 2:6-20 showing the shepherds in the hills indicat...
It occurred to me this week that, as I have been watching my dog, Cooper, negotiate his way through his elder years, if Cooper were a human I would recognize him immediately. As a dog, he looks exactly like his breeding, a gray Schnauzer and something-black-and-tan-ish cross, with a full beard, perky ears, wiry-haired legs and a pair of wild old-man eyebrows. At 45 pounds, the “something” in his lineage was obviously bigger than his 15-pound miniature Schnauzer mother. An olde...
