passed and a good impression must
surely be left in the minds of those
who attended as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
being present at the meetings of the
college lecture course for no one thing
held in Caldwell would so well pay
attendance as Mr. Flowers reading Of
Ben Hur.
So we'll liked was Mr.. Flowers
reading on Friday evening that the
college authorities persuaded him to
remain over and give his interpreted

The reading of Ben Hur on Friday
evening by Mr.. Flowers at the assem-
bly hall closing the college course of
lectures, was certainly an unusual
treat. After giving a short prelude
describing the two principal charac-
ters in the book, the reading was d.
.vided into four acts with short de-
scription in between to connect the
acts. The act describing the Feast
of Bacchus" certainly gave full
knowledge to the audience. The rap

Wednesday Evening.
The second annual Collegiate Orig
inal Story contest took place Wednes-
day evening. This contest was made
necessary after the collegiate depart
ment had been made part of the cur
riculum of the college. Before the ad-
dition Of this department the college
was only a preparatory school and
those graduates who desired a collie
giate course were compelled to seek
it elsewhere than in Caldwell But
now it is different and the contest
Wednesday night was for the purpose
of demonstrating on a small scale
what this new department is accom-.
plishing.
The interest taken in this the second
contest of the kind ever held by stu
dents of the College of Idaho was
made manifest by the large audience.
The stories were all of high class
and the contest narrowed down I'd
where it was hard to decide which
one of four should be declared the
winner The method of deciding which
one of the contestants was entitled ID
first place differed from the usua
manner of deciding literary contests
in tn APPOINTS were not considered
The judges were given the manu-
scripts of each story and these the

BEER STARTS A SHOOTING.
Austrinns and Films In Melee at High
land Boy Sunday Morning.

An illustration of what happens
when Austrian meets Finn. was given
In the small hours of Sunday morn
ing at Bingham. At that hour three
Austrians were coming down the road
from the Highland Boy, and they met
three Firms going up. Two OF tho
Austrians had bottles OF beer and the
request OF the Films for some of tho
amber fluid was taken as the signal
for a general melee in which tho boutes
were used freely. The fight had
not progressed far when one of tho
Austrians drew a gun and Fred Sho-
berg, a Finn was shot in the abdomen.
He was taken to the boarding house
of tho Highland Boy, and attended by
DIR. Flynn, who found that the bullet
had not entered the stomach deeply,
but had glanced. making the wound
comparatively slight, and 1t is expect
ed that he will soon recover.
Marshal Grant reached the scene
as soon as possible, but all of tho bel
lIgerents had disappeared. Later two
of the Austrians were found. but the
man who did the shooting had not
boon arrested this morning, though
Marshal Grant was confident of To-
eating his man during the day.
