Big Parade Last Night.
= Much enthusiasm was created last
night by the big Elks parade. The
gang assembled at Culver's hall.
Headed by the band, the antlered
herd marched up and down Main
street which was lined with interested
spectators. A number Of the boys
wore the regulation uniforms of the
Montana Elks and the entire bunch
would have been thus arraycd but
for the failure of the suits which had
been ordered, to arrive as expected.
Bringing up the rear were the bali
boys dressed up in their natty white
and purple suits.

deavor to get list of all the pas

Record Breaking Crowd.

The game was called at 2:3O Sun
day afternoon at Athletic Heights
before a record breaking crowd. The
visitors thought that they had a lit
tie practice game, especially as they
brought along the best Of all the semi
professional ,players to be picked up
in eastern Montana and western Da-
kota. But before the game had gone
two innings, the boys from Ira Coles
town had materially changed their
views Of the situation. Carleton had
them absolutely at his mercy and
when one Of them did manage to get
as far as first, Davis would throw
them out at second.
The visitors went to bat first and
went out in jig time, Willard throw
ing out the first two and Williams
the third at first. Thus for six in.
nings the game went merrily along.
In the sixth, on two errors and a
lucky hit, the visitors put the first
run over. The locals came right back
and tied her up in the same inning
on two clean hits by Slater and Davis.
Fire Works Sent Up.
Up to this stage of the game the
honors were even. If there was any
advantage, it was with the Lewistown
boys. They were fielding superbly,
Carelton was pitching magnificent
ball and some Lewistown men were
getting on the bases every inning.
Surprised at the unexpected opposi-
ton, the visitors were getting ner-
vous and were about due for balloon
ascension. 1t really looked like Lew
istown's game.
1t was decided. to send in the Smith
brothers battery at the beginning OF
the seventh. Little Smithy started
out like whirlwind, He struck out
the first two batters up. But right
there, the whole shooting match went
UP in smoke. Some errors started it

Wife BEA7ER GETS JAIL SENTENCE

Thomas Schmitz of Roundup, was
brought up from that place last Sat-
urday by Deputy Sheriff Waldo and
is now serving a sentence of six
months in the county Jail for wife
beating.
Schmitz just finished thirty day
sentence for the same offense about
ten days ago. This little lesson evil
IDENTIFY did him no good for he started
right in to abusing his family upon
his return home. County Attorney
Ayers tried to prevail upon Schmitz
to change his ways in that respect
but the wife beater could not see
it in that light and gave an exhibition
OF his cruel treatment in the presence
of the county official who had gone
up to the Schmitz house to see about
the matter.
The fellow was taken before JUS
tice Edwin Cook and given six months
in Jail Thursday and the punishment

WOOL BUYERS LEAVE FOR Home

Jack Stressenger, the "last of the
wool buyers" a tribe from the east
side of Massachusetts who camp IN
and about Lewistown for about two
months during the hot months OF
summer, left this morning for that
happy hunting ground which leans up
against the west side of the Atlantic
ocean and made famous by the
prodigous amount of baked beans
consumed by its natives. With Jacks
departure, the wool season in Lew
istown was officially closed.
Tom Trumbull left yesterday
morning. He and Stressenger will
meet at Miles City and go from there
to Boston together. Trumbull will
leave the next day or two after ar
irving in Boston for Australia where

Forsyth PLAYED IN LUCK
Fast Eastern Montana Ball Team Outplayed By
LeWistoWn Until Change in Local Battery
Gives Them Chance to Win.

Just what might have happened in
the game of base ball between Lew
istown and Forsyth played here last
Sunday if Carleton had been per-
mitted to remain in the pitchers box
and Davis behind the bat, no one can
tell but large number Of people here
abouts are of the opinion that the
speedy aggregation from the east end
Of the state would have gone home
with a defeat chalked up against
them instead Of any easy victory. OF
course, something altogether different
might have happened but it is hard
to convince many Of the fans that
such would have been the case.
At any odds, the game has been
prolific of much discussion and no
two people view it from exactly the
same viewpoint. Suffice to say, how
ever, that those who had the game
in charge, did what they thought was
for the best and the result simply
emphasizes the uncertainties which
attend the playing of the great ma
tional sport.
Stephens a Good Fellow.
The game was ribbed up last
week by Frank Stephens when he was
in Forsyth. He heard the fans OF
that city Dragging Of their ball team
which had experienced little difficulty
in defeating Miles City, Billings and
other crack teams Of that end of the
state. Frank casually remarked that
Lewistown had some sort o: ball
team. He went so far as to say that
the local aggregation could give
Forsyth good argument. He fol-
lowed this up by saying that he would
pay the expenses of the Rosebud
team if they would come over for a
game Sunday.
When the Forsyth boosters got
their breath after this little talk, they
Immediately took up the gauntlet
thus flung in their faces and the team
accompanied by brass band arrived
here Saturday evening.

Parker Opens Campaign.

Los Angeles, Aug, 5.-Judge Alton
B. Parker, democratic candidate for
president in 1904, delivered his first
speech of the present campaign in
behalf of Bryan and Kern before an
audience of 1000 people in Temple
Auditorium tonight.
In his address Judge Parker said:
"We have at the head of the demo
cratic ticket two men of character,
well known, one of whom is especially
well known; and who in season and
out of season fought against connec-
ton between the government and
corrupt corporations. And with him
is associated man who have known
personally since 1895, and who, In
my judgment, is every way worthy Of
his associate and who, in case emer-
gency of any kind should arise, which
God forbid, would be in position to
take up the standard and carry it on"
This reference was received by the
audience with great enthusiasm.
Cheers for the candidates came from
all parts of the hall. Speaking upon
the issues of the campaign, Judge
Parker devoted practically his entire
speech to the tariff, which he denomi-
mated. "The one great question OF
the hour" and to the subject of cam
paign contributions by corporations.
. On these subjects he said: "There
is one great question of all questions
to be solved by the electorate in the
coming campaign. Many years ago a
small cloud appeared upon the hor-
lion of this country. It was very
small one then. but it has grown now
to be one of gigantic and menacing
proportions. A tariff was made for
the ostensibie protection of infant in
dustries, which has extended and en-
larged until under it has grown up a
system which has the country COM
pletely within its grasp.
"The party in power for more than
50 years has persistently shut its
eyes to the fact that the people have
been persistently robbed by means OF
a statute which this party enacted
but which it has not had the courage
to change The republican party has
heen in alliance with the protected
interests. These interests have fur
Wished money to the republican party
at the request of its national COM
mittee upon every needful occasion.

Waite Will Ship Wool.

The only deal made during the past
week was the sale of 10000 pounds
by B. S. Lavold to Stressenger for
IS IA cents. The Waite, Elliott &
Peck and Jack Waite clips have been
shipped to Boston by the owners,
who will later make disposal of
them. So far as we are able 10
learn, the only clip left around here
is that of S. S. Hobson, amounting
to about $4,000 pounds. Mr.. Hobson
will doubtless consign.
Much Wool Is Consigned.
It is estimated that about one and
quarter million pounds of wool
was handled this year through the
local wool warehouse. OF this amount
close to one-half million pounds
was consigned The average prise
paid this year for Fergus county wool
is fraction above II cents.

Every One a Booster.

seekers never left Lewistown than
that which crowded three coaches on
the St. Paul this morning. They are
all going out for good time and
every person aboard is fully imbued

were the members of the now famous

Ayers came on home Friday and
Deputy Waldo came in with the re-
calcitrant Schmitz the next day.
During his brief visit to Roundup
last week, County Attorney Ayers
did a fourishing business for the
county treasury. Four railroad men
were convicted of petit larceny and
three of them were fined SIS each and
the fourth, $3.50, all of which was
paid. E. M. Haney was soaked $lOO
for permitting women to frequent his
saloon and two women were assessed
$50 each for disorderly conduct. All
told, the hustling county attorney de-
posted $575 in the county strong box
as result of his crusade in the Mus
seshell village. He left for tina,
place again today and it is hinted
that few gentlemen who have been
smashing the anti-gambing law are
due for session before Justice Cook.

ena September 18th. 1t is generally
conceded that Governor Edwin Nor
ris will be the nominee of his party
for the position which he has filled
SO acceptably since the resignation of
Governor Toole.
There promises to be consider
able fight among the republicans for
the nomination for governor. Judge
Cheadle Of this city, William Lindsay
of Glenhive, and c. M, Webster of
Great Falls have already announced
their candidates. while Senator Don
Ian of Missoula and Charlie Leonard
Of Butte are yet to be heard from.
Judge Holloway, of Helena, is also
being groomed by his friends for the
job and appears to have the inside
track at this time.
Congressman Pray will doubtless
be given denomination by the re-
publican party. There promises to
be some little contest among the
democrats for this place. A. c.
Gormley, who was the democratic
candidate for congress four years
ago, has been suggested by his
friends as good man for the job,
while, over in the west end, State
Senator Thomas D. Long, is being
vigorously boosted. There may be
other candidates yet.
For the remaining state offices,
each party will likely have all the
material they desire to pick from.

ROBERTS FALLS TO DEATH.
Scaffold Gives Away and Neck o
Aged Carpenter Is Broken.

William Roberts, for years we'll
known carpenter around Lewistown,
was the victim Of fatal accident
last Thursday afternoon when scat
fold upon which he was working at
the new residence of t. E. Crowley,
three miles west Of the city, gave
away, throwing Mr.. Roberts to the
ground with such force that his neck
was broken. The unfortunate man
lived but short time after the ac-
cident
Andrew Burnett, who was working
with Roberts on the same scaffold,
was badly bruised up but escaped
serious injury.
The funeral of the decedent was
held from Creel's undertaking parlors
Saturday afternoon, there being quite
a large crowd of friends and acquain-
tances present to pay the last mark
Of respect to the memory of the de
decent
William Roberts was past sixty
years of age and has lived in what is
now Fergus county for over a quarter
of a century, having been a carpenter
at the Fort Maginnis barracks in
1882. Lewistown has been his home
for many years. A quiet, easy going
man, "Bill" Roberts, as he was
familiarly known, did not make many
acquaintance but was we'll liked and
respected by all who did know him
So far as known, no relatives survive
him in this part of the country.
