The alarming disappearance of
the motives for his act in leav-
ing Kalispell so suddenly without
leaving word as to his destination
remains unsolved. The only explain
alton seems to be that he was men
tally deranged and his many friends
believe that this will be demonstrate
ed. For few days before leaving
a change had been apparent in his
actions, and when he determined to
leave town he was in state of mind
that made him not responsible.
When he left home last Sunday eve
ming he said he would return in about
an hour, and had spoken to his sister
about taking walk that evening.
Since then she has heard nothing
from and has no idea as to what has
become of him.
From trainmen who were on the
westbound train Sunday night it was
learned that Daggett boarded it here
but instead of getting off the train at
Jennings as he told J. B. Murphy he
intended doing, he went on to Spo-
kane and got off there. Since then
nothing has been heard of him. His
sister is much concerned over the
matter and at her request Sheriff
Gregg went to Spokane, Tuesday. to
make a search for Billy and try and
ascertain his condition. So far ne

impossibility. the wind and track con-
sidered. There was stiff breeze
blowing which struck the horse fairly
in the face. The track was a little
slow, but the effect of the wind was
discounted by sending runner in
front, while the second runner gal
loped alongside. In view of the adj
verse conditions the announcement
was made that he would go against
the track record of 300 3-4. but
would also try to beat the champion

Star Pointer
When the unbeatea PAGER, for Dan
Patch never lost a race appeared on
the track. he was loudly cheerad and
after few preliminary wanmups. he
got the word With a swift. fric-
tionless stride. he shot from the wire
and seemed to be determined to push
his nose into the flying sulky in front
Of him which the thoroughbred in the
shafts was steadily pulling ahead.

quarter in 20 IA and when the half
mile post was flashed past in :5S 3-4
a great volume of cheers went up
from the vast crowd. Then came the
difficult top turn and the slowest
quarter of the mile ensued, the three
quarters being done in l:29 IA. But
down the stretch as swift and steady
as locomotive he came. and as he
shot under the wire the watches
stopped at 1:59. The new champion

The report that the Helena fran.
chise will go to Vancouver and that
the Tacoma franchise will go to
Whatcom. stirred up considerable
discussion among the baseball men
this morning.
Butte will not go to Whatoom or
Vancouver; neither will Salt Lake
nor Spokane. They will have some
thing to say about where these fran
chises are going, for they are the
ones most interested.
Duedale has stated that he will
certainly finish the season and Butte
will go on forever, or at least a good
ways.
For the past four or five days the
magnates have been cudgeling their
brains to figure out the difficulty
Ncv it is as plain as Anaconda hill

T''ore are 80 ball players in the
ci', now and they all concede that
= 5 the only way. Let Helena and
Tacoma quit if they want to. there
are still four good ball towns that
love good baseball and these will
stick to the end.
