ct AL was up before Judge Jackson at
Federal court today and was argued
on its merits and the evidence and
submitted to the court for decision.

Arguing Religion.

Yesterday afternoon William
knight got into religious argument
at the Union Depot with a colored
preacher named Tolliver, from Park
ersburg. Both soon became very
much interested and soon were vocl-
ferating loudly and laying 1t off''wlth
both hands. They made such a rack
ct that Agent Brown told them to get
out of the depot to finish their argu-
ment. The preacher sat down and
kept still, but Knight wouldn't keep
still, and Mr., Brown was finally forced
to put HON out. A very lively tussle
ensued, affording considerable amuse-
meutto the bystanders. Knight was
taken away by Officer Miller.

The NickeI-PIate Shows.

criterion the show proved equal of its
reputation 1t is seldom nowadays
that an old time circus is seen, and Mr.
Harris success indicates that long
course "3 ring" "seductions" and "co-

gether turned the public taste away

Ogden and Pocatello Could Not Reach
An Agreement

The Pocatello and Ogden baseball teams
have been able to come to no agreement
on their proposed match game for $500 a
seems certain now, that the game will
be called of.
The controversy has ragged merrily in
the papers of the two towns. Columns of
space have been devoted to 1t. and the
editors of the two leading papers have
been running their eyes over dictionaries
in their efforts to find new epithets for
their rivals. Here is a sample of the way
they talk baseball in Pocatello. 1t is
The Ogdens are sports-nit. They are
dead easy cutters; wind TANNERS:
frothymouthed blowhards. They howl
like coyotes. but when called down stink
into their holes, whimpering like whipped
puppies. They talk big about playing
bail. but they are afraid to meet the
Pocatellos for $500 a side
And this is the way the Ogden Stand
ard hits back:
winners, besides the gate receipt per-
centage. That's a goodly sum. Poke;
better try to get a show at it. Brace up;
you're all right but you have no sport
ing blood You'd rather win a game by
stealing umpire, or a gun play. than TO
win one on the square. That's all the
matter with you
AS the Ogden team starts for Montana
early next week. it is probable that the
Pocatello game will be given up. Lovers
of fair play and honest craftsmanship re-
Pocateilos challenge after the eXtrava-
CANT boasts made by Manager Gimlin.
Both teams are strong aggregations and
would have put up pretty game of ball.
