SENTINEL BUTTE - Starvation
and the sharp cold of winter has led
to the deaths of young horses here,
some area residents say.
About 14 horses have been with-
out hay or water since their owner
or caretaker reportedly left the state.
A passerby on Interstate 94 last
week noticed that one of the
younger horses appeared to not be
doing well. and she called authori-
ties.
Pete Novotny of Beach hap-
pened to be at the county court-
house at the time and heard the con-
versation about the horses. Novotny
was among those who made the trek
out to the snow covered pastureland
northwest of Sentinel Butte.
Novotny found five yearlings,
two of which were trapped by the
snow on a hill. One was already
dead. "I put the other one down; it
BI
couldn't get up," said Novotny.
Bill Tidball, Beach veterinarian,
also went to see the horses, along
with Wally Owen, who had a ATV
with tracks that was able to cross
the snow.
Tidball, when contacted later by
the News and Pioneer office, said he
couldn't comment about the horses'
conditions, because it was part of an
ongoing investigation.
A spokesperson in the Golden
Valley County Sheriff's
Department also said last week the
department couldn't comment
because an investigation was under
law enforcement report, or if law
enforcement decides a criminal
charge should be filed.
Earlier this week, two more year-
lings were found dead at the farm-
stead, both within a corral. The
older horses evidently were better
able to deal with the weather. It
appeared that one of the older hors-
es had chewed through the cedar
railings of the corral in an attempt to
break free to a lower pasture where
there was some grass standing
above the snow. The horse went
about 20 feet into the deep snow
and returned.

Residents from the area said the
horses' owner had left the state.
Phone calls to a local number for
the owner went unanswered.
According to newspaper policy,
the name of the man who reported-
ly owns the animals likely won't be
published until there's an official
-':- Tuesday, Tom Schillo was clear-
ing a path through the corrals so that
the horses could be able to return
from the open range. A barn would
have been availahle for them for
shelter, but it and the rest of the
farmyard had been filled in with the
snow. Hay was being brought in for
the horses as well.

DICKINSON - Last Saturday
night the Running Bubs moved in
for the sweep against Trinity's A, B
and C Squads. The B and C teams
put a lot of defensive pressure on
the young Titans and ran the floor
playing unselfish basketball that led
them to a couple victories.
It wasn't as easy for the varsity
team, as the Titans made their game
plan to slow the Bucs down by run-
ning a very deliberate offensive
scheme.
That has been the plan for most
teams this year, against the Running
Bucs.
BHS got off to a good defensive
start holding Dickinson Trinity to
only eight first quarter points taking
the lead 13-8. The first three min-
utes of the second quarter Trinity
went on an 8-2 run pulling ahead
16-15. The Bucs. however,
bounced back with 14 unanswered
points over the next 3:23 to take a
29-21 lead.
Jill Rising, along with Brittney
Dietz and Abby Weinreis. had to
take the bench with each of the
players in early foul trouble, but
before they took their spot on the
bench the three veterans combined
for 13 of the 16 points with Hailee
Farstveet the only other scorer. The
Bucs' depth on the bench kept the
Titans in check despite being
plagued by fouls.
Trinity made a strong push com-
ing out of their locker room netting
the score at 35-35 with just less than
four minutes remaining in the third
