Twin FALLS
SCALPS INDIANS
The National Game As PLAYED
By the Locals
POCATELLO SAVED FROM SHUT.
OUT BY HOMERUN KANE
PocatelIo Tribune Hands Bouquets to
Twin Falls Team-kinney Partic-
ular Star,

"Posey" Kane's home run saved
Pocatello from shutout in the base
ball game Sunday with Twin Falls.
The gingery second baseman's quad
ruple sacker put heart into the In
dlans and they later on raced two
other men across the rubber. That
was as far as they could go, however.
On the other hand, Twin Falls expe-
rienced little difficulty in clouting the
ball for eight tallies. The game was
nifty exhibition after the first in
ming. 1t was in the opening act that
the Sagebrushers won the game by
wallOping Atkinson, Pocatello's slab
artist, for enough hits to create five
monumental marks on the score sheet
The lead was too great to overcome
The game ended with never chance
on Pocatello's side to get to the top
of the hill.
| The Sagebrushers played like lea
guers. Bliss, southpaw, officiated
at the delivery end Of the Twin Falls
battery He was there with the
| twists, holding the Indians down to
seven hits. 1t was apparent that
during the closing innings of the
game Bliss blissfully let down a trihe
in order to show the Indians that
he was good fellow as we'll as q
mighty fine pitcher. Farrell behind
the bat was a wheel horse player. He
allowed one steal and gave base on
passed ball, otherwise his record
is as clean as whistle. The bright
| particular star of the Sagebrushers
team was Kinney, Yale '07, who
played short stop. That is, he was
marked down for that position on the
| score book, but in reality he played
right left and center field second
and third base, apd short stop. He
is sublimated whirlwind with strong
resemblance to cross between cy-
| clone and comet. Out of five times
at bat he walloped two singles, one
double and one triple. That's hit
ting some. The three-bagger was one
of the hardest drives ever seen on a
local diamond 1t sailed about two
feet over the second baseman's head
and lit short distance inside the
center field fence. The ball looked
about as big as bullet to the out
fielders. Every man on the visiting
team clouted safe hits. The Sage
brushers are bunch of stickers from
Stickville. That's all. Their total
receipts for the day were II wallops
in spite of the fact that Atkinson
pitched good, clever, heady game
Six of the II hits were earnings in the
first act. The way the Sagebrushers
lay the willow to it was something
fierce.

JEROME GROWING RAPIDLY

the right in law to so flow the waste

lands Of the plaintiff; but where, as
view the fact of this case to be, plain
tiff's land, in it's natural state, was
not burdened with flow of water in
said "cOulee" only during a few days
during the year and possibly not every
year; that is during heavy rains and
melting SHOWS, then the law does not
subject plaintiffs land to the burden
Of flow of waste water from the
land Of defendant, or any other source,
during the entire year. or at such time
or times as defendant selects to cause
it to flow
In irrigation ones fields, as in all
other matters in this State, a citizen
must SO use, control and care for his
own property that it's use by him

II it is a hardship or annoyance to
him to be forced to control the waste
water from his fields, the law very
rightly places this hardship and an
himself, and does not shift the burden
to the shoulders of his neighbor.
His neighbor has the right to en-
JOY MS own IdnQ Tree from any cas-
ments or privileges in favor of any
one. except such as the law imposes
and the law does not impose any cas-
ment such as is here sought to be in
voked. Defendant excused the flow
OF such quantity of waste water by
offering testimony that part of this
waste water was caused by leakages
from the canal and over which he had
no control, and for which, OF course
defendant is in no wise liable.
l find no merit in the plaintiffs
third contention that he is entitled t1
an interest in a certain flume.
Judgment will follow in accordance
with the views here expressed.

ALBA D. CRANDALL
DIES SUDDENLY
Unexpected Demise Shocks the
Whole Community
DEATH COMES AT THE END OF
ONLY A SHORT ILLNESS
Deceased Has Been Resident of Twin
Falls Since 1904 and Is Very Well
Known All Over the Tract.

The city of Twin Falls was shock
ed last Friday morning by the report
that A. d. Crandall, proprietor of the
Washington livery stable had died
very suddenly at his home in the
northwestern section of the city. Mr..
Crandall had complained of feeling
badly when ready to start down to
his office and the fact so worried his
wife that she telephoned to him to
come home in order that sufficient
care could be given him. Mr.. Gran
dali reached home a little later and
had been home but short time when
the simmons came
The funeral services were held from
Miller's chapel, Sunday afternoon and
were attended by "a large number of
friends of the deceased and his fam
lily. Rev. John Gourley in a short
discourse paid glowing tribute to the
man who had so suddenly departed
from life's work. The remains were
inferred in the Twin Falls cemetery,
with r. M. McCollum H. j. Wall, w.
H. Eldridge, ]. e. Davies, John F.
McGrew and S. T. Hamilton acting as
pail bearers. The funeral cortage
that acted as escort to the remains
was the longest ever seen in this city
and was just tribute by his host of
friends of the esteem with which he
was held by everyone.
Alba D. Crandall who was fifty-eight
years of age was born Oct. 10 1850 in
Wisconsin where he with twelve
brothers and sisters lived until his
twelfth year, when the family moved
to Minnesota Mr.. Crandall lived
in the gopher state until nearly thirty
and while a resident of Fergus Falls
was married to Miss Louise Herring
in 1883. After an eight year resi-
dence in the above city the family
moved to Tacoma and later to North
Yakima, fourteen years being spent
in these two cities. In. the fall of
| 1904 Mr.. Crandall was attracted to
the new Twin Falls country and came
to this place, entering into the fuel
and grain business By February OF
1905 Mr.. Crandall was ready to have
his wife and daughters come and the
| family set up housekeeping with the
many other pioneers of the city In
| 1907 Mr. Crandall bought the Wash
| ington stable, and continued the busi-
ness up to his death
Mr.. Crandall was man of quiet
| unassuming disposition, but withal q
man of strong and sturdy character
and one, whose friendship once gained
was not dependent upon caprice. In
his death the whole community suffers
loss and can sympathize deeply with
the sorrowing wife and daughters.

The Indians were weak at first yes
terday. Fred Price made his first ap-
pearance at the initial sack and failed
to make good. 1t is true there were
number of bad throws in his di-
rection, but more experienced man
and shiftier baseman would have
cut down the error list materially.
"Posy" Kane at second had hard
luck, bocting two, but making up for
his errors by batting like fiend.
If Kinney for Twin Falls was the
bright particular star, Bistline for
Pocatello was full moon. Out of
II chances he made but one error, a
hasty overthrow to first. AT the bat
he was strong with two rafting sin
giles, and another would have been
safe in any game, but Second Base
man Weaver covered too much
ground.
The Sagebrushers are the finest
of fellows that ever picked wood ticks
from smarting shins. They are gen.
tlemen and scholars--likewise ball
players of the first order. A feature
of their playing was classiness, a
snappiness, an esprit de corps that
called for liberal applause from the
grandstand, even from such hardened
Gate City enthusiasts and rooters as
Archie Service and Bob Graham
The following datailed score, for
the figures of which Jim Rintoul, who
sets base ball to music, is responsible
will give an idea of the game:

WATER SYSTEM REPORT
Investigation Of Systems Of Other
Cities Proves Valuable.

Mark Murtaugh and Dell .Sprague
returned the last of last week from a
trip to Mountainhome, Pocatello, Nam
pa, Boise, Caldwell and Weiser, where
they inspected the waterworks sys-
TENS with view to finding in what
respect Twin Falls system is lacking.
The Boise waterwOrks especially
pleased them and they think, too that
Twin Falls fails to equal the plants
of other cities visited. Their full re-
port was given to the council at a
recent meeting.
