stockholders of the Pere Marquette
railroad will hold a meeting here
this afternoon which will be of the
greatest importance as it will de-
termine whether or not the stock
holders will permit the separation
of that system from the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton railroad. About
two months ago the stockholders

ton railroad voted to annul the
lease of the Pere Marquette, but
1t is doubtful whether the stock
holders of the latter railroad will
acquiesce in this plan. The situa-
ton Is rendered more interesting
from the fact that the stock of the
Pere Marquette is scattered among
several thousand holders who are
divided into two factions. The re-
ceiver of the two lines, Judson
Harmon, has no direct interest in
this meeting.

fans will have an opportunity to
see one of the best hockey games
ever played in the northwest. Ar
rangements have nearly been COM
pleted to bring the Nelson team to
Spokane for a match game with
Rossland. The Rossland boys
state they are willing to play Mel
son and a wire from Nelson states
their team would play Rossland for
$1,000 side bet.
The trouble which the two teams
have had arose over the fifth game
between them. Rossland had won
two games, as had Nelson. The
fifth game was never finished. The
game was being played in Rossland
and each team had won two goals.
The first team to score a point
would have won the championship
cup. The two teams played for
three hours without scoring. The
game was postponed by the referee
until later date.
Rossland claims Nelson would
not finish the game and Nelson
claims Rossland quit. The game
may be played off in Spokane in the
near future as the Rossland team
will play here Wednesday night
and state they will remain and play
Nelson.
