The homicide suspect, Eric Carlson, was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound at an address on Belltower Mail Road the following morning, sometime between 7:00 and...
The Carter County Bulldogs lady volleyball team will head to this weekend's district tournament at the number two seed. The girls hadn't lost a conference game to any opponent except for rival Wibaux all season until last Friday in Terry when they slipped against the number four seed (Terry). On Friday in Terry the girls also played a match against Nashua. That match went rather smoothly, as Blue took all three sets; 25-18, 25-17, and 25-13. Claire Callahan led the team in...
I would like to finish my articles about Bob Renshaw and his family. He has such a detailed account of their homestead days and activities of people during those years. Renshaw even tells of his years in the court house as the clerk and recorder. In 1942 he was not elected and made the following statement: “I felt lost and hopeless, wondering at age fifty-four what possible road to take.” He made contact with the Banker Life Company of Des Moines, Iowa to sell life insurance. After a training course and test he was given a li...
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Breast cancer has touched the lives of many of us; whether you are a breast cancer survivor, in the midst of breast cancer treatment, or have a loved one who has been diagnosed.

Breast cancer is an uncontrolled growth of breast cells. Cancer occurs when there are abnormal changes in the genes that are...
Hello, As we get closer to Halloween, it gives time to think of Halloweens from the past. Several years ago there was a fire called the Halloween fire. It was a windy devil and a fire started over toward Sidney, Montana. It burned for miles and miles. I think it was finally stopped by the Little Missouri River south of Watford City. Wasn’t as bad as the fire that the late, great Danny Woods used to tell about. Danny was a rancher down in the breaks along the little river. He had wonderful stories that he told so much; e...
Mr. Knipfer died October 19, 2017, in Bozeman, Montana, after a short illness. Robert Irving "Doc" Knipfer was born January 24, 1926. His parents were Edwin Knipfer and Annie Moore Knipfer of Knobs, Montana. Doc, as he was known to his friends and family, grew up and worked on the family's homestead in Knobs, Montana. He attended High School in Baker, Montana, and graduated in 1944. Upon graduation, he joined the Army and then transferred to the Army Air Force. He served in...
The core of our house went up in the 1950s. It consisted of a very small bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen — just enough room for an old bachelor to settle at the end of the day. The outside walls were split logs, revealed in later modifications. Whole families lived in equally tiny homes in early days. A young married couple moved into the house we now own, and the groom’s father helped him go to work. When the groom had the expertise to build by himself, a total of three rooms had been added, enough space to raise three dau...
CCHS men finished their football season on a high note last Thursday afternoon when they defeated Froid-Medicine Lake by a wide margin.

Wolenetz played four years of football under head coach Tenadore Kittelmann. He played mostly defensive end and offensive center in his career, although he did get some time at...
