TWO BIGGEST
PICTURES EVER
SHOWN in CITY
SCHRECK-MORRIS FIGHT AND
WILD WEST TOURNAMENT
AT CHEYENNE.

Tonight the Butler theater will
have the biggest program that popu-
lar house has had to offer the
public since it opened its doors,
several years ago. Two big pic
lures will be shown as features
wild West Tournament at Chey-
enne" and the "Schreck-Morris En-
counter at Tulsa" These two pic
lures contain 5000 feet of film and
are both credited with being works
of art in photography, in that they
are clear and show the smallest
details.
The first picture is the great
Wild West Show at Cheyenne,
in which Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt participated. Indians in their
war dances and paint, cowboys in
broncho-busting and roping contests
and line of wild west sports never
before shown by the camera. This
picture alone is worth the price of
admission.
"The Schreck-Morris Fight
shows the white hope" in action
and is one of the clearest fight
pictures ever taken. The big fell
low has speed and strength and
there are many followers of the
boxing game who believe that this
marvel of sinew and bone will make
the colored man go away back and
sit down. This picture will give
you chance to judge for yourself.
Beside these two great pictures
there will be complete change of
the vaudeville acts, and tomorrow
the first part of the opera. Faust, .
will be shown, and on Sunday the
second part will be given. The
price tonight will be 25 cents to
adults and 10 cents for the chill
dren.

THERE WILL BE NO GAME NEXT
SUNDAY-GAME TO BE AR
RANGED ELSEWHERE.

There will be no game Sunday!
You can't play in my back yard;

This is what the local baseball
boys are saying to the Goldfielders.
AS result of the treatment ac-
corded the Volunteer Firemen s
baseball team O. this city at Gold
field on the Fourth, the boys have
refused to meet the Southerners
on the diamond and Manager Dugan
has sent notice to this effect.
The sentiment Of the local team
is that if the game can not be
contested on the merits of the sport
there is no use playing, and il
the series was carried out it would
L,necessitate the team going back tc

tives of the Southern camp in the
fashion that was handed out on the
Fourth again.
The Volunteers may arrange some
games with Manhattan if trans

The Pine Tree camp has materia
that would make a good team, ant
the locals will endeavor to encour
age them to organize.

DOGS ARE TO BE
EXCESS BAGGAGE

Dogs are to be considered excess
baggage by the Oregon Short line
and Union Pacific after the first OF
this month and all the passengers
carrying CANNES will be taxed by
the railroads at the rate or 100
pounds per dog. The local offices
have just received notice of the
change.
According to the new ruling the
company will be responsible for tn
care of the animals, but no dog
will be valued at more than $25.
The Southern Pacific has not yet
taken any action, but it is likely
that the same rule will soon apply
to all of the western Hartman
lines.

The road from Sodaville to this

as most of this road is in Mineral

no repairs are made. This road

The automobile travel over this

OFF FOR BIG GAME.
Goddard Team to Pla Vermont State /.
the State Champlums...r.

The Goddard seminary basketball
team went to Burlington this morning
where they will play the high school
team Of that city this evening for the
inteiEcholastic championship Of the
state. Both teams have not met defeat
this year, and great deal Of interest
in the outcome OF this game is taken
by the followers Of the two teams in
both cities. The game will be played
in the t. V. NJ. gymnasium under the
rules laid down by the Schoomasters'
club. The officials Of the game have
been selected by the college.
Every player OF each team must be
certified to as eligible TO play under
the Schoolma sters rules before the
game starts tonight. When the Cod
dard team left this morning they had
not received the line-up OF the Burlng
ton team for the reason that the man
ager OF the high school team telephoned
last night that some OF the players had
not been certified to as some Of the
teachers We're out Of the city but they
expected to have the certificates by to-
night
The seminary players all had their
certificates. The Goddard team is com
posed OF the following: Capt. Richard
son and Carr. forwards; Fiske center;
Chapel. Mclyer aud McLeay, guards.
Coach Stacy accompanied the team.
To-day's Burlington Free Press says
Of the prospects,
The high school basketball team, that
has won II consecutive games this sea
son. will defend its claim to the state
championship against the Goddard sem
mary team, which also has IL straight
victories TO its credit. this evening Mt
'S.l5 o'clock The college gymna sium
has been chosen as neutral ground for
the occasion. That ii viii be hard
and fast game is without question. The
Goddard team is reported TO be very
heavy, but it Is hoped that what the
Burlington boys lack in weight will be
more than made up for in skill and
agility in passing and shooting. The
two practice games played last week,
the game with the y NJ q, A. Thurs.
day and the one with Hardwick on
Saturday, have put the home team IN
excellent condition for tile last, final
and decisive game Of the season. The
university floor offers much more OPP
portunity for open play and passing
than is possible in the Y NJ. G. A..
gymnasium and this fact will probably
be Of advantage to the high school
team After the game an informal
dance VIII he given.
