Issued Check but No Funds

Monday morning, just a short time
Deiore the passenger train departed
lot Lewiston. a young man entered
the Burt l.. Crosby Store and pur-
chased suitcase and wearing apparel
amounting to thirty dollars and issued
a check on the Bank of Camas Prairie
for the same to Manager Sims. Mr..
sims, shortly after the customer left
the store thought possibly there might
be something wrong with the fellow
and called up the officers of the bank
regarding the matter and was inform
ed that W. I. Savage, as the man
signed the check, had no account and
never had one.
Ofiicers were notified at once and a
search made of the city as well as the
surrounding country. Employees of
OF the railroad company stated they
had seen a man answering the descrip-
tion and with a suit case, crossing the
tracks in the freight yard shortly af.
Ter the train had departed. Up to
the present time the party has not
been apprehended.
He was tall, dark man, smooth
shaven and at the time he purchased
the merchandise was dressed in soft
shirt and felt hat.

Work on Sewer

Work on the sewer system was COM
menced Monday of this week when
force of twenty-five expert sewer men
from Tacoma were placed at work on
Cunningham street. Two cars Of
pipe have arrived and have been strung
out along several of the streets.
The men employed at the present
are the sons Of Sunny Italy and not a
bad looking bunch. In a few days
the excavating machine will arrive
and if the work can be done by the
machine, it will be used in digging the
trenches.
As there are over ten miles of sewer
the job will keep quite force en,-
ployed for some time, we believe it is
intended to complete the work early
in October.

Playing Politics

Boise, July 11.-tio.crnor Brady
and his state land board are having
more trouble, and trouble which is
causing them great deal of worry.
This time the disturbance is in Ere.
mont county, where the governor is
trying hard to get line up which
will, if possible, give him a majority
at the coming primaries.
There are certain state lands in
that county which have been settled
upon by people who are friendly to
the governor. These settlements were
made in spite of the fact that notice
had been given that these settlers had
no rights whatever on these lands.
The matter is of vital Importance to
Fremont county. Secretary of State,
Robert Lansdon, has stood alone
against Governor Brady and the other
members of the board on this matter

conceded that until the state makes

is not at all serious and it is pretty
hard to tell just who is right. Ifa
man lives in Cottonwood he is pretty
apt to think his team won and If a
fellow lives in Grangeville he is just

Both towns have good teams and the
desire to win is little too strong to
allow the players on either team to be
very magnanimous with the other.

Game Forfeited in First Half OF
Ninth
EACH TEAM DECLARES It WON
One Umpire Refuses to Act.
Other Gives Decision.

Sunday morning the Grangeville
ball team, accompanied by the band
and fifty or seventy-iive rooters, took
the train to Cottonwood where a
game was scheduled to come off with
the Cottonwood team in the afternoon.
1t was batting game all the way
through and plainly Cottonwood's
game up to the first half of the ninth
inning when the score stood seven to
sixteen in favor of Cottonwood.
During this half great batting
rally was made by Grangeville and
nine men had crossed home plate max
ing the score sixteen to sixteen when
trouble began which in a way marred
the days pleasure.
Cottonwood claimed Newton, the
Grangeville player who made the tie
score, had cut base but the decision
of the field umpire, Jones of Grange
vile, was in favor Of Grangeville.
At this junction Grangeville had
sixteen scores, man on third, two
outs and Weider to bat
A great deal of wrangling occurred
between the two teams and Cotton
wood left the field. The Grangeville
players called upon Umpire Randall
to 90 by the rules which provides for
the umpire to give the team quitting
the grounds under circumstances like
this one minute to resume play or de.
clare the game forfeited to the team
not at fault.
This is the rule which the Grange
vile team declares gave them the
game. "Rule 26, Sec. 2. If after
the game has begun one side refuses
to continue to play 4 x i forfeited
game shall be declared by the umpire
+, in favor of the club not in fault.
While Umpire Randall was askee
to carry out the provisions of thi,
rule he refused to do so. Finally tn,
field umpire was appealed to and h,
gave Cottonwood five minutes il
which to resume play or forfeit til,
game as provided by the rules. Ac
cording to the decision of the felC
umpire Grangeville won by score O
8 to 0. Undoubtedly Umpire Ran
dali was little ratified for when til,
alteration came up regarding thu
supposed base cutting of the Grange
vile player Randall was positive i
was second base and the Cottonwood
players were equally positive it wa
third.
Providing Umpire Randall's con
tention that it was second base is tru'
then undoubtedly if he knew rules h
would not have attempted to rule OF
this play as Rule 81, Sec. provide
'The field umpire shall take such pc
sition on the playing field as in hi
judgment are best suited for the rend
ering of base decisions. He shall
render ALL decisions at first and sec
ond base.
After about half of the players O
both teams had left the field and mos
of the crowd gone Umpire Randall
"called" the game and declared th'
game forfeited to Cottonwood, whil
neither team had a full nine on tn,
field.
We believe the contention of TIN
Grangeville players is that while Ran
dali may have had authority to &C
when the forfeiture of the game oc
cured, on account of him doing moth
ing and absolutely refusing to do any
thing the duty of the field umpire wa
plain.

Farmer Who Used to Consume 30 for
Breakfast Now Satisfied With 81.
Is the buckwheat cake doomed to
extinction? Once on time it was
a fayorite breakfast food in a very
large section of the country. Along
about the first show of frost there
came demand for buckwheats and
syrup for breakfast. Now, however,
the public taste seems to be running
TO something else. In New Jersey
the other day an investigator ascer-
tanned that farmer who five years
ago ate regularly thirty buckwheat
cakes for breakfast is now satisfied
with twenty-seven, and that another
who used to eat twenty-five now de-
mands only nineteen. Manifestly, if
that sort of thing is general, and
goes on for any length of time, the
buckwheat growers will have to get
out of business for the lack of a
market.

Mr.. Roosevelt has remembered
MS prime obligation by conducting
campaign of SANDER and villifca
tlon and cheap demagogy and per-
SonaI abuse which has not been sur
passed in the recent history of New

OF campaign against Judge Bald

agalnt Mr.. Dix in New York. He
mas made the same kind of a cam
nalgn against Gov. Harmon in Ohio
mat ne has made against Mr.. Foss.
He has assailed the justice of
Che supreme court of the United
states as 'fossilized and medieval.
