LIE IN CREEK TO EFCAPE
FLAMES
GEORGE HENDERSON REPORTS
NARROWING PLIGHT OF FIRE
FIGHTERS IN IDAHO.

Surrounded with forest fires, with
high flames leaping and swapping
above their heads, their provisions
gone and creek their only place of
safety-this was the plight of a lit
tie band of fire fighters, among them
George Henderson of this city, who
returned yesterday morning from the
burned belt off Lost Horse
The grim experience befell the
party Sunday, August 81, at Moose
creek, Idaho, whittier they went to
fight forest fires. They were dis
patched from Darby and were under
the direction of Supervisor White.
In the party were William Adams.
Thomas Eggleston, Adam Hahn and
Harry Jannings of Darby.
At Moose creek, according to Hem
derson, they were caught in COL
lision between two fires. With the
smoke so thick that darkness had set
tied in the woods, the two blazes
rushed together The men took ref
uge in the creek, lying on their backs
so that the water covered all but their
faces, on which they held wet blankets.
The air was suffocating while the
flames laShed together overhead. On
both sides of the creek were giant ce-
dar trees, many of them with decom-
posed trunks, and these were falling
constantly as the fire girdled them.
All Sunday afternoon and night the
men lay in the water, which was the
only protection from the heat and
falling sparks, fearing momentarily
that tree might fall and crush them.
On sand spit near the edge of the
creek their provisions, consisting Of
flour and beans, were stored. The
food supply had run low because Of
the inability of the pack trains to
reach the men. The fire burned the
sacks, but did not greatly injure the
contents, SO that the men were never
In danger of starvation. Tuesday
morning the party went to Indian
lake, where pack train bearing pro-
visions awaited them.
During the height of the fires on
Sunday afternoon, it was black as
midnight. The air semed swept away
by the fire and heat, for breathing was
difficult. The smoke was distressing
to the eyes. All the men suffered
much from sore eyes.
Henderson was first informed of the

HUNTERS ARE HAPPY.

Hunters are happy. Long before

ducks. At 3 o'clock many persons
could be seen on the streets and au-
tomobiles loaded with hunters were
leaving for the country. Many of
them returned with their game bags
filled but reported that there were
about 10 men to shoot at each duck.

Inability to hit Engbretson, the ma
tive prodigy of the Flathead, cost
Hamilton defeat in the third game
with Kalispell Tuesday evening. The
struggle went II innings, every one
of which was filled with tense situa-
tions and tingling climaXes Many as
sert that no faster game has ever been
played in Montana.
While Keenan,, who was on the pivot
for Hamilton, pitched wonderful
game, the work of Engbretson was
more brilliant He had amazing speed
and endurance wringing plaudits
from the unfriendly crowd. Two pet
ty singles, both by Keenan,, were the
total achievement of the local bats
men,
With the score tied in the sixth
inning, Hamilton looked the best bet
for Keenan, was keeping the lake
dwellers off the bases, while the home
defenders were getting on the circuit
by passes and wild throws.
The counting opened in the fourth.
Morrow walked and was sacrificed to
second. Sorenson singled, advancing
Morrow to third. With two gone.
Messmer shot the ball through Raftery
at second and Morrow scored. Can
non singled Sorenson home.
Hamilton pulled in a count in the
fifth, With Raftery out, Messmer drew
a ticket to first. A single by Keenan,,
the first hit by Hamilton took him to
third and the pitcher himself took
second. A sacrifice by McQuaid then
brought the big catcher over the plate.
Luck in the next session gave Ham
ilton another score. Richmeyer went
out and Williams was safe at first on
LaRues error. Engbretson here
threw over the first station, Williams
going to second. A passed ball and
a grounder by Snyder then brought
him across the hearthstone.
The contest was tightened as a wise
until the eleventh. With two laid away
Engbretson doubled to second and
Robertson luckily knocked a single
between second and first. Richmeyer
recovered it quickly and pegged to
Snyder, but the throw was wild and
the Flathead prodigy crossed the rub
ber with the winning count.
Wrangling.
Twice during the game wrangles
stopped the playing. When Williams
in the sixth inning attempted to score
on Engbretson's peg over second, Kali
ispell quit the field. After a parley
the trouble was adjusted by Williams
going back to second. Later in the
game Williams again showed his ca
pacity to stir up a wrangle. He hit to
the ground and Sorenson picked up the
ball and threw it to Price on first Will
liams refused to leave the plate when
called out by the umpire and the Flat
heads walked off the diamond. This
time Williams would not yield the
point of the visitors and the game was
resumed by his continuing to bat

MAN WAS TOO ENTHUSIASTIC
Noted Horse Trader Would Not Lilo
About Horses Good Tralts-Mere-
ly Suppressed Truth.

Hank Dobbs was noted as an "hon-
est" horse trader. He would not lie
about horse. He would merely sup
press the truth. Incidentally, he al
ways beat the customer who dealt
with him. The way he could slur over
the defects and buzz about the vir-
tues of an animal amounted to genius.
Once Hank was trying to sell a
neighbor a horse that had an eye
which was nearly sightless. The neigh
Dor knew Hank would not lie outright
to him. so he questioned the horse
trader as to the various points Of the
brute.
How about his eyesight? Can he
see out Of both eyes?"
Sure" said Hank, hes got good
eyes," Here he leaned forward, his
eyes fairly scintillating with sup
pressed honesty. "One eye is particu-
larly good"
Hanks enthusiasm for the truth had
carried him too far. The deal was off

about real farming. l have a great

One is that careless breeding OF

those investments paid l sold a bull
calf for $3.50 and two heifers for 500
each the first year and three years
later l had a herd of nine animals
that were worth $1,000. In fact, they
paid me more than that in the long
run. That lesson in good breeding
helped me to see things right.
Then l learned that bunch of
sheep neglected, half fed, poorly
housed in winter, with no system as
to breeding, was a poor investment.

lesson.
