lean war, after having spent many years
more or less closely connected with the
army He represented the United
States for number of years at Ma

discretion and ability were such as to
keep him through all the changes of
administration. He was appointed adj
jutant general of the Idaho militia, by
Governor Morrison, and continuedthrough
the two terms of Governor Gooding;
though, because of ill health, he has
not been in active service for more than
a year, C. A. Elmer serving in the field

entire state house force. General Vic
kers was man of more than usual
of will, and ability, and he
has deserved much at the hands of the
country he has served most faithfully.

Basket Ball Team in Training.

Some vigorous practice this week and
last has done much to put the Sboshone
basket ball team into the best of con-
dition for the Fourth of July game
The girls have never played a game
with out-of-town opponents, while the

HOT GAME AT GOODING.
Shoshone Lost Out in the Eighth
Inning, After an Even Fight.

The base ball game last Sunday at
Gooding between Goodng and Shoshone
teams was one of the hardest fought
games played in this vicinity this sea-
son. 1t is an illustration of the curious
fact that the score don't always tell the
kind of game played. At the beginning
of the 9th inning the score stood 2 to
in favor of Shoshone. Inning after in
ming had been played without score.
In fact the three scores recorded up to
that time had not been earned scores
but had been made on errors. When
Gooding came to bat in the 9Th inning,
however, the Shoshone team seemed to
literally go to pieces and the Cooling
team scored seven tallies during that
inning. The game closed with the score
8 to in favor of Gooding. A large
number of Shoshone people came to
Gooding to witness the game and all
had most enjoyable time. Many of
them were in Gooding for the first time
since it began growing into city and
were very much surprised at the progress
made The Goodng team will go to
Shoshone next Sunday to play return
game and that the two teams will be on
their mettle goes without saying.
