NSunday's game between Billings and
Livingston resulted in a second defeat
for the home players at the hands of
the men from the Windy City. The
was 9 to 8. Ten innings were

could have done. This lost the game
for Billings, as the score from then
to the end of the ninth inning was
a tie.

his arrival at Junction sold it for
money with which to reach Billings.

county Jail.

The woman, who, it is said, Clegg
followed from Seattle, failed to appear
