The kochs went after the Kansas City team
again yesterday afternoon after losing the game
tne DAY BEFORE and succeeded in taking both
sldes OF a double header In the frst game
tnere was nothing to it but a parade around the
diamond by the Germans, and one continual
round or ball chasing for the crippled Tebeau-
i.es. Inc second contest was more civilized and
only seven innings We're played, but in This
time the kochs made six TALES to four by the
! cripples. ~ 'Ae
Eugene Ford and Durham were the onnos;nc
p to aLtlsts Ill the first race and the man with
the tobacco name touched up for a grand
|. totai OF thirteen bingles, Of which two we're
TRIPLES and two doubles. The best the kaws
could Go in lowering Fords record was three
| stingy singles. H.; -.
Buck Freeman was the strong man Of the
Aoch aggregation when it came to batting, the
Dlg first sacker getting three hits Oyler was
the only local who failed to connect safely
s "a.n nurnams pad ones: but he was too busy
the kochs made five runs in the eighth fnnino
when was the result of six safe hits, a base
on pals and pretty double steal.
-, me n.as second game was more interesting than
the first, and the visitors seemed to realize that
they were playing professional ball. In this
contest each club scored three times in the
second inning: Cadwallader, who started in
10 twlrl Tor the locals, was replaced by Kilroy
In the third. and from that time on the kaws
| made one run, while the millers scored three
more Egan pitched the second game for tbo
S visitors and was in good form, allowing nine
mus out keeping them we'll scattered after the
second inning. When Umpire Werden called the
game in the seventh inning the score was 6 +o d
in favor of the Kochs.

Winners.

The Broncho was the feature of yesterday s
race card at the state fair races. The famous
2:O2 pace proved classy that only thre>
entries were called out, The Broncho. Hazel
Patch and CastlewOod.
The race was little more than an exhibition
The Broncho so outclassed the field to make
both heats of the event little more than a
procession. In the second heat Castlewood chal-
lenged at the quarter, but proved unequal to the
TASK OF holding on, and dropped back. The
two heats went Broncho Castlewood, Hazel
Patch, with but little variety of distance at the
finish in either heat. The Broncho however,
went fast enough to lower the pacing race mark
of the track, PONY, held by herself, going the
second heat in 2:O3.

p%hatically against the tendency Of a
certain wing Of the Swedish press to
foster a rece hatred among the Scan
dinavian races 1t stoutly maintains
that the publication of all sorts of i'm
probable sensations regarding Norway
and Denmark and irrational articles
likely to lntlame the passions of the
Swedish people would be amusing If
the results might become serious. This
bitterness may do Sweden much harm
and undo the peaceful sentiment
which governed the Karlstad treaty.
While no specific charges are made.
the paper undoubtedly refers to the
publication of the rumor that one OF
the objects of Crown Prince Gustaf in
visiting Copenhagen was to protest
against the failure of Norway to raze
the frontier posts In accordance with
the terms of the Karlstad treaty. This
is highly improbable, particularly in
view of the fact that the clause does
not go into effect until next July. The
paper also probably has in mind an
article in Allehanda, comparing Nor

England, and declaring that Denmark,
like Norway, is quite content to exist.

RICHEST SCANDINAVIAN.
Fortune of Peter Larson Of Montana
Grew From Nothinc,

Fortune of Peter Larson Of Montana
Grew From Nothing.
Peter Larson of Montana is doubt
less the richest Scandinavian in Amer
lea. Out in Montana they say that he
Is the richest man in the Northwest
next to Senator W. A. Clark. The most
modest estimate of his fortune is S.
900, 900, while many men In position to
Judge say that it will approach $685.
900, 200. The former figure is undoubt-
eddy too conservative. The Morning
mine at MullaH, Idaho, which he own
ed together with T. L. Greenough,
alone paid a profit of $4,000 a month
Tor ten years, and was recently sold
tor $3,0oo,0O0.
He cleared more than a million off
the Russell A. Alger tract, near What
com, Wash. A Helena banker asserts
that two months ago Larson had ST.
100000 on deposit in one New York
financial institution. These deals do
not include his profits and investments
In the National Bank of Montana, the
First National of Billings, the Cascade
bank of Great Falls, the Old National
Of Spokane, nor in the flour mills at
Spokane and Seattle; his many mining
ventures in Montana, Idaho and Brit
lsh Columbia, nor his numerous other
ventures.
With all his wealth, Peter Larson Is
not particularly we'll known. He is a
noneymaker only, and in this he has
oeen miraculously successful, for ev-
srything he touches turns to gold.
Peter Larson is a Dane by birth,
hen fifty-six years ago. For the first
twenty years his life was that of an
ordinary peasant lad in Denmark. He
came to America empty-handed and
ignorant of the language. He worked
as a common laborer on the MISSISSIPPI
y; jetties and on railroad work. His
6rst savings of $500 disappeared
through the smooth ways of a swim
dler. Larson drifted north and en-
gagged as a railroad contractor. He
built more of the Northern Pacific
than any other man and later built
portions of the Great Northern and the
western extension of the Grand Trunk.
With his profits from contracting he
invested in banks, mines, lands and in
1ustrial plants, always with unerring
success as a moneymaker. This is the
same Peter Larson who was recently
taken to Rochester, Mimi, on a special
.rain for a critical operation, and was
also taken back to Montana in the
same way. At present he is still in a
critical condition, with no more chance
e recovery than the poorest laborer.
