previously.
Today at Baluty, a suburb of LODI,
four cossacks were killed and 10 others
wounded by bomb thrown into the
barracks.
The soldiers are showing what ap.
pears to be wanton cruelty. Late this

morethan one hundred, possibly two
hundred and the wounded will reach
five times that figure. The official re.

BASKET BALL
High School Girls Have Match Game
The Result is a Tie-Sccre 8 to 9

The first match game of basket
ball, Monday afternoon, between
team No. l and team No. 2, of the
High School, was in every way a
success resulting in a draw.
The score was three to three.
The goal throwers, Stella Trapp
and Mary Wyaut of each team,
each basketed the ball in a fifteen
foot throw counting one score, and
in a throw from field scoring two
points more apiece.
1t was played on the ground
north of the school house and con-
sisted of fifteen minute halves
with a short rest between.
There We're no accidents except
in the case of Sigred Anderson,
the center guard in team No. 2,
who slightly injured her knee.
Mr.. Stearns was umpire, and
though windy, it va a very good
afternoon for the game and all an
joyed it immensely. Except for
feeling a little stiff the next morn
ing the players were rs enthusiast
tic as ever, and ready to play again
soon.
Basket ball has proven, as the
girls learn to play better, to be "A
very interesting as well as help

ness is allowed between players,
and in hat way hard feelings
toward one another are done away

possible not leave it a tie.

day was as follows:

U. P. CUTS PASSENGER RATES
a Voluntary Reduction of Mileage to
-Four cents-eompany Dealing
Fair With People.

A cut has been made by the
Union Pacific road in its passen-
ger rates in Wyoming from 5 to 4
cents per mile. When the bill to
reduce the passenger rates of this
company was introduced in the
legislature last winter, it met with
opposition from the members of
that body WHO lived in the north
and had to travel many miles by
stage. They said the people of
that country were anxious to have
railroads come to help develop the
country, and that they would rath-
er pay 10 cents per mile to travel
in good comfortable coach than
10 cents IN a stage. The railroad
company also pledged itself to
make a reduction in rates to 4
cents at an early date, and the
promise has been made good.

THE AUTOMOBILE LINE.

The automobile for use on the.
auto line from Encampment to
Walcott, arrived here Sunday
night, after being all day on the
road from Walcott. Monday
morning it started for Encamp-
ment at 7:45 and arrived there at
1890 p. m. The reason for this
slow progress was the newness of
the machine. All parts worked
hard and heated easily, SO that a
pace scarcely faster than a walk
could be maintained. Then, the
bad condition of the roads made
progress very slow. 1t is believed
that when the roads become good
that fast time can be made over a
portion of the line at least.
The auto is a very handsome,
serviceable machine, of the most
durable and substantial pattern.
The wheels are nearly as high as
the front wheels of a wagon. The
four seats are we'll up, with abund-
ant room underneath for the stor-
ing of hand baggage. 1t is strictly
a passenger machine, and on good
roads, such as are found in the old
states, it would make most excl
lent time. What it will do out
here with the varying condition
of the roads, remains to be seen.
