CHAMPION SWEDE RUNNER
HAS MANY ADMIRERS

New York.-Followers of the dis
tance running game here are deeply
interested in the performances of
Gustave Ljungstrom, the former cross
country champion of Sweden, who
ran second to Fred Meadows in the
Is mile race held in Madison Square
garden recently. Many experts fig
ure that had he not made the mistake
of allowing Meadows to gain a lap
early in the recent race he would have
won easily, as he finished with phe-
nomenal burst of speed. Lung
strom is entered in several long dis
tance races to be held here within the
next two months, and he is expected
to come pretty near capturing all of
them. Ljungstrom stands about five
feet six inches and is sturdily built
He has run miles 346 meters in 32
minutes seconds and 10 miles in SO
minutes 29 seconds. Ljungstrom has
repeatedly defeated Peterson, the for
mer Swedish hill and dale champion,
who found no trouble in outrunning
Deakin of England in a match race
recently.

London.-By falling in love with
pretty Irene Desmond, Sir Richard
William Levigne very much disturbed
the expectations Of his brother, the
Hon. Reginald Augustus Devigne, Of
succeeding to the ancient Irish baron

Sir Richard has not only made an
actress Lady Levigne, but has rele-
gated a very charming woman to the
position of dowager.
Sir Richard, who is the tenth baro-
net and a lieutenant of the Eighth
Irish Horse. is very wealthy. He is
32 years old and succeeded to the
baronetcy ten years ago. Since the
death of the ninth baronet in that
year, the widow, who was a daughter
of Sir Richard Sutton, has kept house

death of the wife of the deceased
plaintiff. The wife had been previous

All the parties involved in the suit

WRESTLING AND BOXING
AROUSED MUCH INTEREST

School Basketball Team Defeated
"All Stars

A large crowd turned out last eve-
ming to witness the boxing and wrest-
ling exhibition given by the students
OF the high school, 1t was a success
from every standpoint, the audience
going away satisfied and the manager
OF the carnival smiling over his door
receipts.
The program started with 3-round
boxing bout between Sturdivant and
Mcdonald. They mixed it pretty
good and the referee declared it a
draw.
A wrestling match with Bean and
Struve as the principals was called
next and Bean put his opponents
shoulders to the mat in minutes with
a half Nelson.
The basketball game between Pen
dleton high and the All Stars was a
trifle one sided, the final score being
3s to in favor of the high school.
Sandwiched in between the halves
was a fast 3round boxing bout be-
tween kid Estes and Battling
Milne. Estes landed oftener than
Milne but his blows were light COM
pared to his heavier opponents and at
the end of the third round the referee
pronounced it draw.
Snyder and Thompson fought three
rounds of fast, hard fighting, Thomp-
son being more aggressive and quick
er. while Snyder fought a waiting
game and this bout was also declar-
ed a draw.
The last thing on the program was
the wrestling match between Dude
"Gotch" Devine and Aubrey Roller
Graham, Graham losing to Devine on
a body hold which he could not
break.
The girls of the school conducted ar
fee cream and candy booth in one cor
ner of the hall and this proved to b,
very popular.

basketball game follows:

DETECTIVE FAILS
TO GET EVIDENCE
THIEL AGENCY MAN DID
NOT GET RESULTS
Special Officer Employed by Sheriff
Taylor Spends Several Days in
Pendleton. Searching for Violations
of Prohibition Law.

=
Though 1t occurred about six weeks
ago II has just become general knewl
edge that a detective was in Pendle-
ton for several days in search of vi
olations of the local option law. That
he found violations of the law is stat
ed in his report which is now in the
hands of Sheriff Taylor, but that he
did not find evidence sufficient upon
which to base prosecutions is evident
by. the fact that no arrests or prose-
cutions have followed as result of
his visit.
The detective was hired from the
Thiel agency by Sheriff T. D. Taylor
on the approval of the county court
The bill for his services was presented
to the county court at this session and
was allowed yesterday afternoon. be-
ing approximately s166. Though
Commissioner Walker refused to sign
the order authorizing the payment of
the bill it is not believed that there
will be any protest made on the pay
ment of it.
1t is said that the detective succeed
ed in purchasing whisky in. at least
| one place in the city and also secured
a beverage at several places which
he declared looked and tasted like real
beer, though it also understood that
| the bulk of the drink emporium pro-
prietors in the city were aware of the
presence of a detective. 1t seems the
officer erred in not taking someone
with him to corroborate his testimony.
No further action will probably be
taken in the matter though the in
formation secured by the detective will
be retained by Sheriff Taylor to be
used by him in future.
