we're the rank decisions of umpire
Wilcox. Wilcox called a man safe
on second base, while the runner
wac three feet from the bag. The
runner admitted this. 1t was
simply impossible for Leach (the
pitcher) to get strike, as every
thing was balls with Ump, and if
Standpoint player got within
three feet of the first base, the de-
cision was safe. On account Of
the decisions of the umpire. Leach
quit the game in the last half of
the fourth inning. Corcoran was
put in, but by this time it was easy
to see that the imp would not
allowed the Dakotans any strikes,
nor call anyone out on bases, con-
sequently the boys lost heart in
game. The game was 10 to 4 for
the Tigers.
1t was the opinion of the people
ct the game that if the Dakotans
had been given square deal they
would have won the game. We
understand that Wilcox has been
umpiring most of the games and
if Sundays exhibit was a sample,
it il easy to see why the Tigers
have won so many scalps. Leach,
and Corcoran and McGarry, and
Fleming were the battery for this
game.
Some of the Bonners Ferry fans
stayed over to witness the game
Monday afternoon, it being assured
that Wilcox would not be allowed
TO umpire. The game WAS called
at O'Clock, with Herman Taylor
in the box as imp. In this game
with a fair man to give the deci-
aions the Tigers did not get a look
in. 1t was easy money for Dakotans

saw they could not get any favors
shown them by the umpire, they
dug in and tried to play ball, fail

made their getaway in the beginn.
ing of the eighth inning. This
caused the game to come to sud.

should be 8 to 0. The object OF
this little stunt was to give the
local fans a loophole to keep from
paying their bets, which many o.
them did. The score according tc
the score book was ID to a in favor

Statesman, one of the best posted
newspaper men in Idaho, has COM
pleted canvass of the state on
prohibition. He states he secured
some of his information through
conversations with persons who
we're thoroughly familiar with local
conditions, but that most of it
came to him through confidential
correspondence, His data is sup
p,imented by special dispatches
received today from correspondents
of the Statesman, giving the pres
ent status of local option agita-
tons in practically all the coun-
ties, and an expression .oi the prob
able outcome of the election.
FAVORABLE TO "DRYs"

only eight counties in The state
that will likely vote wet: Bannock,

cities, Owyhee. The remaining
fifteen counties will 60 dry, accord
ing to the information given. o.
borne declares he found the feeling
against the saloon business as at
present constituted widespi cad and
strong. and that the dynamic force
behind the present agitation is not
the churches, but men and women
of affairs, who have tired of present
conditions after having waited in
vain for the saloon people to reform
itself. These prefer prohibition to
continuation of the old order of
things and will complete the work
the churches have started,
FORCES WELL ORGANIZED.
He adds that he finds the local
option forces well organized while
the saloon men have practically no
organization and are making no
systematic campaign. depending
upon the business communities to
stem the tide of disapprobation
which it is declared has become 80
strong the saloon men dare not
make an open campaign lest the
majority against them shall be in
creased.
