PIONEERS' SMOKER
ALL TO THE GOOD
The smoker last Wednesday evening
at Flat given b.v the Igloo No. 10.
Pioneers of Alaska, appears to have
been all that its sponsors claimed for
it. After a short business session, at
which several were initiated, the fun
commenced. A couple of good sparring
bouts and a splendid exhibition of
wrestling were hugely enjoyed by the
big crowd that packed Moose hall
to the doors. Plenty of catchy music
was furnished by the orchestra, Billy
Faureau furnished the applause, and
many stories of a reminiscent nature
were told. Curly Robinson was there.
Ho was prevailed upon to tell a story,
which he did, and that story reminded
him of another Montana story of a
man who was shot at twice—something
very unusual about that story, even for
early days in Montana—the man, Curly
said, was missed the first shot, and was
hit the second shot where he was
missed the first shot, or something like
that, anyway—and for the continuation
of this interesting story see page 17
of our last week’s issue.
