Store Looted
Second Time

For the second time in about a
year the store of the Teton Com
mercial Co., was broken into, some
time between midnight and morn

lery to the extent of about $500
carried away. Entrance was forced
thru a rear window and the exit
was by the same route. Next day
Marshal Arnett gathered in a num-
Der of suspicious appearing char
acters and put them thru a sweat"
at the local. bastile, but none of the
missing articles could be found on
their persons. 1t is probable that
the thieves made their getaway on

back-door beggars, physically in

found a haven here. A rear-alley
holdup or two occurred during the
week, but not much was said about
it. People have been discussing
this unpleasant condition in a stage
whisper, lest, perhaps, they might
offend someone. 1t is time to talk
out loud and in plain English. Win

Who Are the Champions?

| weights who think themselves best fit
ted to jump into the stricken champion $
shoes
One Of the bones OF contention among
the American contestants will be the
weight question. Some OF the best So
called lightweights, notably Packey Nc
Farland and Matt Wells, cannot do 'I33
rngside." Some of the others, Freddie
FETISH and Knockout" Brown for in
stance, insist-'on ringside weight, and
the result may mean a deadlock, SO far
as high class matches rare concerned.
And through f. all the public will feel
that it is listening to a discussion from
which the real champion has through
misfortune. been eliminated.
In the featherweight division things
are not much better. Abe Attell is sup
posed to be the champion of this class,
but Able, who probably feels that he is
not as young as he used to be, wants
to make a cleanup. He is holding out
for bigger sum OF money than the
promoters feel able to give. and is per-
hitting the Rivers, the Conleys, the Kill
banes and few others to engage in
elimination bouts that after all, seem
to mean nothing and lead to nowhere.
Assuredly a bona fide worlds cham
pion, secure in his title. and ready to de-
fend it, is rare bird, just at present.

National Aviation /
Meet Will Be Held
in West Next Year

NEW YORK. Dec. AT their next
meeting. on December 13 the governors
of the Aero Club of America win appoint
a committee to make plans for the inter-
national aviation meet OF 1912, in accord
ance with the conditions prescribed by
the international Aeronautic Federation
at the Rome congress. There is a dis
position TO give the event to the west.
Henry A. Wise Wood. vice president
OF the club. said that the club was con-
tent with the requirement that the dis
lance of the race Tor the Coupe Interna-
tionale d'AYiation be increased to 30
hlometeFs ul7 miles) instead OF $50 kilo-
meters (eishty-seven miles). The result,
he declared, would be to stimulate the
makers to produce machines that will
stand the test OF the strain OF flying the
greater distance at high speed. The club
favored the greater distance, he ex-
planned. for this reason
Mr.. Wood. who was appointed a COM
mittee of one several weeks ago TO arouse
interest in the contest among the build-
ers OF machines, said that he had re-
ceived assurances that America would
make a good, showing in the next inter-
national contest
From other sources a was learned that
there was much eriucism of the ground
used at the Chicago meet OF last summer
