The Broadus Lady Hawks were in rarified air at the Brick Breeden Field House in Bozeman last week, as one of the eight schools from across the state who had navigated the trials and tribulations of district and divisional volleyball tournaments to compete at state.

By Broadus Schools Superintendent Jim Hansen At our August trustee meeting we discussed our increase in state guaranteed tax base dollars which contributed to our decrease in local taxes. The revenue responsible for our tax decrease was allocated from the 95 mills that is assessed to all state taxpayers.

With the higher taxable evaluations these counties are maintaining the State would receive approximately...

November 15, 1923 Bay Horse-Biddle Mail Route is not granted We are sorry to learn that the Bay Horse to Biddle mail route has not been granted. We understand that the reason given is that not enough people would be benefited. We know of twenty-five families who would have patronized the route regularly and four who would have used it occasionally. When it takes mail leaving Broadus sometimes two weeks to reach Bay Horse via Miles City, Billings, Sheridan, and Gillette, we feel that the route petitioned for to give direct connections is badly...
By Broadus VFD Fire Chief Raymond Ragsdale More fires happen in the winter months than any other time of the year because we spend more time indoors and use different methods to heat our home.

Those fires caused an average of 205 deaths, 725 injuries, and $506 million in property loss, per year. If you are using a portable heater, make sure the heater has an...

October was a month of extremes in Powder River County, with temperature in Broadus shifting 92 degrees in the space of just over a week, between October 19th and the 27th. The 88 degree high on the 19th was the highest temperature recorded during the month, while the -4 degree low on the 27th was the lowest.
