HALLEY'S COMET

That Halley's that has been SO

six months was fizzle all around.
1t was visible for about half hour
at time each evening since Friday
night, just over the summit of Lion
mountain, in the shape of sort of
dull light from which some of those
who gazed at it said they could
make out a tail, but the majority
could see nothing of this appendage.

there was good opportunity to

anxiously waising for the grand
display of the comet, but there was
nothing doing. 1t is now receding
from the earth at the rate of mill
ions of miles per day and does not
expect to be back for rs years. 1t
is likely that in that time it will be
all worn out if it deteriorates as

DEAD BEAT f0lLED
IN HIS GAME

A man giving his name as Jack
Cummings came rushing into the Ca
boose of the Kalispell local just as
it was pulling out of the yards at
Kalispell Saturday night, and in a
very excited way begged of Con-
ductor Green that he be allowed to
ride out of town with him, as the
police were on his trail He was
put off, but managed to beat his
way to Whitefish where he was
seen bv Green who informed the
police Of what had taken place, 50
they started to look him up.
He had first gone to the Cadillac
hotel where he demanded that he
be shown to the best room in the
house. On being asked whether or
not he had any baggage he pointed
to number of grips, and picked
out couple that he claimed were
his, SO he was given a room. It
was soon found out that the bag
gage belonged to another party, and
he was routed out on account of not
having the necessary wherewith to
pay for the room, and then went to
the Northern hotel where he worked
the same gag. Here the officers
found him just after he had COM
fortably retired, and under protest
was escorted to the city Jail to spend
the rest of the night.
Sheriff O'Connell was notified and
came up Sunday night to look him
over, but could not identify him as
any one who was wanted in Kalis-
pell. 1t appears that he was just a
regular dead beat who was using
this means to get along, so the
sheriff gave him a singing lecture
that will be impressed on his mind
for some time and will remind him
to steer clear of Flathead county in
the future. He was given an houl
to get out of town which he did
graciously, thanking his stars that
he got off so lucky.

A PRECEDENT IN
STOCK SHIPPING

G. NJ. Roebuck, the popular old
key FOUNDER, who is at present sta
toned at Summit, gives an inter-
esting account Of some quick work
that was done by the Great North
ern at his station last Sunday morn
ing in making stock shipment.
Carl Green was driving a bunch
of horses from Cut Bank to White
fish, but when he got to Summit he
found himself stuck and could get
no further on account of not being
able to get across the deep ravines
and river, so he decided to ship
them in by rail, and Immediately
enlisted the services of Mr.. Roe
buck to get the Great Northern to
his assistance.
His own account of the perform
ance reads like a fairy tale when
compared with the way shipments
are usually handled. THE follow
ing figures are actual time on ship

WHITEFISH WINS
SECOND SERIES

be seen that they were not. Also
two or three decisions on bases and
in regards to foul balls were said to
be rotten and it stirred the Whitefsh
aggregation to fever heat. There
was considerable Raging back and
forth which is to be regretted as is
spoiled the real sport of the game,
but it looked as if Kalispell was de-
termined to win even if they had to
resort to unfair methods, which was
the cause for all the unnecessary
scenes that took place.
Averill pitched fine game and
had almost perfect support. The first
six innings were blanks for
both sides till Averill lifted one
over the fence. This loosened the
purse strings of the Whitefish fans
and he was fairly showered with
dollars and halves that he gathered
up aid half filled his cap.
In the seventh Kalispell swatted
the ball good and hard several
times. This coupled with an error
let in three runs. In the last in
ming they got another and made the
final score 4 to l in Kalispell's
favor.
In the last game Whitefsh made
up for the beating they received the
day before and nearly evened up
that 19 to 0 that Kalispell has not
been able to dispell from their men,
ory even after a years time.
Kalispell had their new $40 a
week imported pitcher on hand !,
and all the rest of their aggregation
were in as good trim as ever, but
they lacked the umpire of the day
before. Manager Coins refused to
stand for any more of him and Pom
Walton was allowed to umpire the
game alone which he did with great
credit to himself and satisfaction to
both sides, and the fans of both
the towns. It was a clean clear
cut game all the Way through and
everything went along beautifully
without the least bit of an argu-
ment.
Whitefish shut Kalispell out com.
pletely and they made 13 runs
When the news was wired here af
ter the game it sounded 50 incred
