BREAK EVEN

Our ball team went over tc
Baker last Saturday where they
played two games with the Baker
boys. The first game was a good
exhibition of the national sport,
there being very few errors on
both sides and ended with a
score of rs in our favor, Cheat
wood pitched for our boys and
done excellent work while Sav-
age, the Miles City pitcher held
the box for Baker.
The second game on Sunday
was different story as the score
OF 6 to 2 in Bakers grip shows.
Moore done the twirling for US
this time and held the opponents
down with only two safe hits.
Where the game was lost was on
the endless string of errors that
were made by our boys. The

A. S. WAY
NOT GUILTY

In the hearing of A. s. Way,
which took place yesterday Jus
tice Gibb discharged Mr.. Way.
The evidence showed that Tom
Lane, the complaining witness,
had a reputation as a tough,
if not disreputable character. He
was a big straping fellow while
Way was a ra ther elderly man
and testified that he was afraid
of Lane, who had made threats
against him. 1t appeared that
Lane had been refused a drink
at the bar where Way was tending
and had promised that if he was
refused a drink when he offered
to pay for it there Wonld be trou-
BILE, Wherefor Way considering
himself in danger fired with his
revolver the bullet grazing Lanes
face and making a flesh wound.
The Justice warned the defen-
dant that a resort to fire arms
was a very dubious piece Of busi-
ness at best and needed the ut
most necessity to justify it as the
proper way would be to bring
complaint against the party that
threatened his life. Journal.

overheated figurer, who doesn't work

out that if these little squares OF
paper were placed end to end they
would run a couple of thousand feet
over 120.760 miles.
A foOtnote to the statistics shows
that Uncle Sam didn't begin printing
postage stamps until July 1, 1S47. The
first year he succeeded in putting
500. $3.50 on the market. Last year he
