On the next play, Eli Heacock intercepted the pass and Broadus was in business from inside the defender's 20 yard line. Two nice runs from Broadus QB Matt Hansen led off the Hawk offensive drive, and a Hansen pitch to Eli Heacock put the Hawks up...
October 13, 1922 Take Me Back to Powder River Out where the hill tops meet the sky And the sun beams down all day; Where the gold old Powder River, Goes slowly on its way, Out in the cattle country, The land I love the best, Is a little three-roomed shack, My little home in the west. CHORUS Take me back to Powder River, To my homestead on the plain, Where at noon the landscapes glitter With fields of golden grain, Where alfalfa’s purple blossoms Give a perfume sweet and rare, Take me back to Powder River, And my little homestead there. 2. I...
Guest Editorial submitted by Pat Phillippi, Powder River County Treasurer Once again, the State of Montana is pushing more costs down to the local, county level.

By Josh Hodge There has not been a summer baseball program in Broadus for older players for quite some time. Broadus has a wonderful baseball field that needs to be brought back to life.

I know it seems early to be thinking about baseball, but there is a lot that would need to be done to get ready for the season. If you have a boy who may be at all interested, please reach out. We would like to set...

By Broadus Schools Superintendent Jim Hansen Recently, I was lying in a hospital bed listening to a doctor explain his concern with the ability or inability of antibiotics to treat my infection. The over-use of antibiotics is becoming a huge medical problem diminishing their effectiveness. I replied that I was employed in the people business and understand the problem. You are faced with patients who demand you do something immediately to make them feel better or they will find another physician who will. The doctor replied, “you are c...
