Comment and Gossip
On Amateur Sports

mouth-Army-Navy Code--BoWIinq.

The apology to Georgetown from vir-
latter's student publication made against
the religious tenets of the Blue and
Gray men, was, by all odds, the most
important happening of the week In
local ar1ateur athletic circles.
Just what the result Of Virginia's
straightforward statement OF her side
of the case will have upon the future
athletic relations between the two insti-
tutions, only time can tell, but from
present indications an anicable settle
ment Of the whole feud seems not far
distant.
Each university has much to gain by
a resumption Of athletic relations. Sit
uated near together they have many
common interests, and are natural
rivals. During the interim since the
present breach started each has suf-
tered considerably in many ways, and
it cannot be gainsaid that the under
graduates IF both universities are equal
ly anxious for an early return Of the
annual contests on diamond and grid
iron.
IN coming together again 1t would,
indeed, seem shortsighted If there Is q
resumption without a dual agreement In
regard TO just what rules OF eligibility
shall govern the athletes WHO are 10
represent the universities against each
other. This IS not the first breach be-
tween Virginia and Georgetown. In the
middle eos, Then intercollegiate
sports were in an unsettled state and
eligibility was not strictly adhered
to, the two Southern rivals broke, and 1t
seems highly probable that unless
there is a thorough understanding this
time, Il settlement cannot last longer
than a couple of years.
Because OF the uncertain condition OF
affairs at present it is not known wheth-
er there viii be a baseball game in the
spring, but If they do not meet on the
diamond the football teams are practic-
ally sure of battling in the fall.
The ending of the controversy was
simply another case of when gentle
men get together" The alumni OF the
two universities discussed the mater in
formally. Virginia saw where she was
wrong, and the whole matter has been
practically settled to the satisfaction OF
all concerned.

GAMBLING HOUSES FINED.
Five Establishments Are Assessed In

ing entered, whereupon Police Judge
MACEDONIAN imposed fines of 5000 in
each case.
AS it was clearly indicated in the
city council at a recent meeting, the
intention is to cause these appearan-
ces each quarter. The five houses pay
a fine of 81 900 per quarter, so that for
the year the amount thus to be collect.
ed is $4,000, provided the number of
gambling houses remains as at pres,
ent.
So far as known, there has been no
agreement limiting the number of such
establishments to those who appeared
last week, and should the trade be-
come more profitable, there are likely
to be more houses to divide it, in
which case the revenue of the city
from this source will considerably ex-
1ceed $4,000 per year.

LUCKY BREEDS
QUEENSTOWN
THEY COME IN FOR MUCH LAND
AND SOME READY
MONEY.

Frank Azure, a we'll known breed,
who for many years lived on Boyd
creek. near this city, but who has
been absent for long period, has re-
turned to Lewistown, and brings with
him information that has greatly stir.
ed the breeds of this vicinity.
Good News for the Breeds.
Mr.. Azure states that nearly all Of
the breeds around Lewlstown belong
to the Chippawa tribe, whose reser-
vation was taken away from them
many years ago and given to the Sioux.
After that action, the breeds came to
this locality. Recently, says Mr.. Azure,
representatives of the Chippawas op-
ened up negotiations with the govern
ment and on March Is last a treaty
was signed at Belle Court, North Da-
kota, under which it was agreed that
the government should give to each
child of these dispossessed breeds, not
less than one-quarter Chippawa blood,
the sum of $50 and 100 acres of land.
AS the families of these breeds are
something marvellous, being all the
way from five to ten children, the total
that will be realized by each family
is pretty large. Mr.. Azure has already
received his money and land. AS he
mas eight children, he obtained two
sections of land, which he selected in
Montana, along the Dakota line.
Purpose Of His Visit.
Mr.. Azure is visiting with his faith
er-in-law, Peter Berger. well known
settler on Boyd creek. and his pur'
pose is to inform those entitled to
share in the land and money, under
the Belle Court treaty, of their rights
In consequence of his visit. it is likely
that a number of representatives Of
the local breed families will accom-
pany him to Belle Court and obtain
the details as to what is coming to
the Lewistown representatives OF the
Chippawas. There are from 35 to Al
families who are supposed to come
under the Terms of the treaty, and l,
will prov. a big windfall for them.

George Pirrie.
The trial Of the case of Joseph Sims
against George Pierre was concluded
in the district court yesterday after
noon, when the jury brought in a yer.
dict for the plaintiff for $1O68O and
interest, the value of certain lumber
in controversy. with $3.50 damages. It
appears that in 1903. the plaintiff was
having some lumber hauled from the
mill to his place, when the freighter
was overtaken by storm and unable
to proceed. He unloaded about 5000
feet Of lumber at the defendants place,
and Mr.. Pierre alleges that he pur-
chased this lumber from the freighter.
The plaintiff proved his title to the
lumber, and established the fact that
he was damaged by the defendants
action in retaining it. Huntoon, Wor-
den & Smith represented MIR. Sims,

defendant

From Abcess Of the Brain, Which
Threatened His Life,

ward Recovery-Mrs. Clark 10
in Paris.

New York, July 16.-United States
Senator Clark, of Montana, continues
to rally satisfactorily from the op-
GRAFTON which he underwent yesterday
for the removal of an abscess of the
brain. The strength which brought
him through fairly comfortable night
continued throughout the day, and
tonight the physicians in attendance
said that the senator's condition was
such as was to be expected from a
delicate and grave operation. DR..
James F. McKernon, who performed
the operation, called at the senator's
apartments this morning and later ex-
pressed himself as satisfied with the
senator's condition. At $3.50 DR.. Nc
Kernon left the house, saying that he
would not return before evening un-
less something unexpected developed.
AS the ear specialist did not again
visit the Clark apartments until to-
night this is taken to indicate that the
progress of the recovery was uninter-
rupted. DR.. McKernon called at the
apartments tonight. He remained but
few moments in the sick chamber
Before leaving the house he would on
ly say that the senator was doing as
well as expected.
While the Information made public
is all in favor of the patient, the gray.
ity of the senator's condition is not
withheld from the family. They are
aware that it will be at least four
days before his ultimate safety can
be assured. Mrs. Clark, who is in
Paris, has been advised Of the exact
condition of the senator in cable
gram sent by the senator's private
secretary today It is not expected
that any change will be made in Mrs.
Clark's plans abroad. or that she will
leave before next Friday, when she
will be told of the exaxct status re.
sultant from the operation. The sen.
ator's temperature this morning was
80. It was learned that it did not rise
above this point during the day, which
is considered very favorable indica-
tion. He rested we'll during the night.
This morning he said he was very
glad the operation was over and that
he could no longer look forward to it.
Resting Comfortably.
Tonight, after a refreshing sleep,
the senator awoke in good spirits and
expressed himself as grateful at the
result of the operation, and that he
was feeling so well following such a
grave condition and resting comfort.

Lewistown is to have a wool mar

have now been made for market to
be held commencing tomorrow morn

will be made to dispose of the unsold

hood of million pounds, but If this
wool is disposed of, it will not be at
any sacrifice. The growers know what
ii is worth, and believe 1t will bring
that figure if competitive bidding can
be obtained.
Buyers Are Here.
The market all over the country is
very strong just now, and as several
buyers are on the ground, these clips
ought to be cleaned up in short order,
unless the men from the east have
an understanding among themselves.
In case the wool is not sold, it will
be at once consigned to commission
houses in Boston.
One Clip Consigned.
]. r. Edgheill, of Salt Lake City,
representing the American Wool
Growers association, of Utah, with
warehouses in Boston, arrived here
Saturday, and B. F. Lepper, of Flat
willow, has consigned to him his fine
clip of 100000 pounds gross. Mr.. Lep-
per knows what his wool should bring,
and as the buyers here did not seem
anxious for it. he decided to get it
out of hand without further delay,
and the clip will go upon the Boston
market.
Wool Coming IN.
Large shipments of wool are COM
| ing in every day by team and rail-
| way, and is going out just as rapidly.
The crew at the warehouse is able to
bale out from 10000 to 100000 pounds
day, and in one instance, sent out
| about 10000 pounds in a day. That
was when the Cruise clip, bought by
Patterson for Jeremiah Williams &
company, of Boston, was baled out.

shown in the sales in Montana of the
newly shorn wools, as the quantities
offered are SO much smaller than they
usually have been, owing to the fact,
to which we have before called atten-
tion, that the woods had been so large

Points on the Game.

Boggs, in the box for Lewistown,
pitched one of his old-time games
the first three men up to bat he gave
good hits, but after that only gave the
Glengary boys TWO safe hits in the
entire game: he struck out IL men
and gave only two pass to first. -
Game was called in the fourth inn
ing on account of rain. but half an
hour later was resumed.
In the sixth inning a close decis.
ion was made by Umpire Wagner and
when the Glengary nine had been re-
tired their pitcher, Pratt, refused to
go on the field and it looked for fif
teen minutes as if the game was ov
or but he was finally prevailed upon
to go into the field and McGinn went
into the box for the visitors.
The game was the best played or
a Iewistown diamond this season.
