AS OAK FROM ACORN.
Springs Death from Sin instructive Ser.
mon by Rev. Leo B. Thomas.

Rev. Leo Boone Thomas delivered an
vice at the Main street Baptist church
last evening. taking his text from Ro-
MANS via. In the course of his remarks
he said that, as in the case OF the new
bottles to be used for new wine, the
term newness refers not to age but to
quality. We walk in a new state as n
We're, of which the characteristic is
life. The former state may then have
been death under apparent life. This
newness of life is contrasted with the
relation previously held to law, the end
of which was a knowledge of sin.
The newness consists to a large de-
gree in changed relationships. Once
self-centered we are now Christ CEN
tered. The thought of laborng with
him inspires us He further adds to and
develops our natural ability. Our earth
| ~ relationships as well are changed as
when southern negro came from slav-
cry and the black belt to the northern
civilization. In this new life sin has lost
its power Sin bears death in its bosom
as an acorn hides the oak. Sin and
| death may lie hidden. The most dread
ed diseases are those hidden from the
superficial eye. Remorse has already
echoed the prophetic words of Jesus,
Let the mountains fall on us
| The Christian, although he fall and
! limp and even deny his Lord, is far
different from those who have never
acknowledged Jesus as needed Savior.
| Better far a Peter stumbling, weak
and imperfect, than Felix trembling
but unyieldng. Peter will enter the Joy
OF the Lord, while Felix will depart
| from the face of the Lord a stranger
| At the morning service twelve were
received into membership in the
| church

SILVER BOW WON.
Defeated the Deer Lodge Officials in the
Baseball Game.

There are some things jerry Muir
ply can do well, but the Anaconda
outfit that went to Gregson Springs
yesterday thinks that umpiring d base
ball game is not one of them. Mr..
Murphy is under sheriff of Silver Bow
county. People who have seen him in
action say he can under sheriff to beat
the band. When it comes to umpiring,
however, the disciples of the school Of
higher criticism declare he doesn't
amount to 30 cents.
In the meantime, Mr.. Murphy smiles
sweet, sad smile, strokes what would
have been beard had he not amputat-
ed 1t into an imperial, some times
called a gOatee and otherwise known by
a coarser name, and accepts the re-
marks of the critics in that proper spirit
of humility which a public official and
"A newspaper man acquires in their
dealings with an emotional and inCon-
sistent public.
The occasion of the thoughts thought
by the Anaconda outfit is found in the
fact that in the baseball game which
Mr. Murphy umpred, the Silver Bow
county officials skinned the Deer Lodge
county oNicials by a score of to ,,
and it took a one-armed man to get
one of the two.
The lot in which the game was PLAYED
was q little more extensive than a ten
mis- court. Had a football game of the
college, variety Deon played upon it, the
players would have lost large sections
of Cuticle and temper in Colliding with
the boundaries. To add to the diff
Culties of the game, an interested
crowd of spectators including a num-
her of fond mothers with curious chill

mond, so close that view of first base
could not be had from the home plate
a large portion of the time. while a
wall of humanity foolishly lent itself
for a baCkstop. Further. the grass was
slippery, there were occasional chuck
holes and the bases We're wooden pegs.
IrTeverent small boys said the umpres
eyes were made of the same material.
Con Hayes, the proprietor of GregSOn
Springs, watched the beginning Of the
game anXiOusly. The Sunday previous,
"a the German picnic, there had been
fight over a foot race. In mid-Week,
at a Sunday school picnic, there had
been another mild racket, and now,
Judging from that experience and from
what he knew Of the national game and
the people who were playing il. Hayes
expected a riot which would tip his
springs up on end.
But there was no trouble. 4 spirit
of good nature pervaded the atmos-
phere. Even Deputy County Attorney
Casey did not say gosh darn il" in
more than once, and Under Sheriff
David Morgan did not have more than
two verbal scraps with members of the
Burte team. These were both with

mer Sweetheart's Lover.
Shortly after midnight this morning
Nick krezan fired three shots from a
revolver at Mike Jacklich in the Aus
trian settlement at the head of Alder
street. None of the shots took effect
but Krezan was frightened over his
deed and to escape arrest took refuge
in the cellar of the house where the
shooting occurred. There he was found
shortly after by Police Officer Gerald
Sullivan after a search.
II know nothing about it," protest ed
KreZan. 1T was another fellow. He's
got the gun. | can point him out to
you down town. But on the way to
the station kreZan admitted having
fired the shots, claiming he did so only
to scare JaCklich.
A story of unreqTited love is be-
hind the shooting. nd the favor of
pretty Mary Zogel, an Austrian maid,
is the cause of all IA trouble. Once
kreZan was the recognized lover of
Mary and considered she had virtually
accepted him. But then Jacklich APP
peared on the scene and Mary trans
ferred her affections to him.
Last evening both suitOrs called on
the girl al the same time. Perhaps 1t
was a case of each trying to sit the
other out. At any rate some time after
midnight the patience of each man
gave out and a quarrel ensued, in
which the shots We're fired.
Jacklich. followed by the screaming
Mary, rushed out of the house and sum-
moned Officer Sullivan.
KreZan will be given hearing to-
