Basket Ball Game Called Off.

There seems to have been Il great
amount Of friction between the basket
ball teams of the schools of Winnemucca
and Elko. The cause is of long stand
ing and deep seated. After due DELHI
GRAFTON and thorough investigation the
game was called off. In calling the
game off no blame was thrown upon
any person, persons, or school but the
action was taken because the rivalry be-
tween the two teams was so violent and
of such q peculiar nature that it was
not in harmony with the ideals for
which high school should stand.

Charley Moody is down from Gold
Circle, and will probably be here several
days Us he is u witness in the Dove
murder case. He reports about 1000
people in that camp and more coming
in every day. He says there is con-
siderable sickness in the camp and five
deaths up to the time he left. Mr..
Moody is neither "a liar or q knave" as
the Free Press puts it, and yet he con-
firms the report brought III last week
by Mr.. Geedney, and published in these
columns. Surely the Free Press will
not say that he is ''either liar or
knave."
The baseball game yestesday between
the Carlin and Elko mines resulted in an
easy victory for the Elxo nine, the score
standing % to 8 in their favor. The
Carlin boys took their defeat gracefully,
but were somewhat sore over the treat
ment accorded them by the Elko team.
They were invited to Elko, but no one
was at the train to welcome them OH their
arrival and no attention was paid to
them by the Ellloites after the game.
Thissdid not set well with the visitors
and they made their feelings known.
This lack of courtesy on the part of the
Elko boys was doubtless due to the
thoughtlessness and not through any
intention to wound the feelings of the
visitors.
