by pounding out two runs in the first
inning, but were unable to score on
the Indian pitcher thereafter. Ma

when the Athletics fell on his curves
for three runs. They added one more
in the fifth. The series now stands

ATHLETICS HAVE
EDGE ON GIANTS
BATTLE ROYAL BETWEEN TWO
TEAMS FOR BASE BALL
BLUE RIBBON.

J. Pluvius has been playing the mis-
chief with the fond hopes of some
ninety million people, including some
odd thousands in Lewistown, during
the past week. With the worlds blue

balance. the championship games be-
tween the two leading teams of the
globe, the rain she falls and then she
falls some more in the cities of Broth
erly Love and Father Knickerbocker,
where the games are being played.
OF the series of seven. three were
played, the score standing now 2 for
the Philadelphia Athletics and for
the New York Giants. They have
been tremendous conflicts and wit.
messed by more than one hundred
thousand people. The total receipts
have been simply stupendous and
the amount wagered on the outcome
throughout the country will run into
the millions.
When the rain put temporary end
to the contests last Wednesday, 1t
looked as though the Athletics had
the Giants in sore straits. The bril-
liant Mathewson had just gone down
to defeat, as had the scintillating
Marquard. The young players of the
Giant infield were not playing as
steady ball as the veterans of the
Athletic aggregation. The long rest
may give the Giants another chance.

MILWAUKEE, ENGINEERS WILL
ANNOUNCE ROUTE WITHIN
SHORT WHILE.
HAVE DIFFICULT TASK
Lewistown-Great Falls Line Offers
Numerous Engineering Hindrances
But All Can Be overcome-Spring
Creek Now Looked Upon As Most
Favorable.

It is now confidently expected that
at the longest, the engineering de-
partment Of the Milwaukee will be
able to announce definitely the route
decided upon for the line Of road be-
tween Lewistown and Great Falls.
"A large number Of men, divided into
several different parties, have been at
work between the two points for sew
eral weeks. Numerous possible routes
have been staked out and it is now
largely a matter of going over all Of
the ground and picking out the best
grade and shortest distance.
Some Hard Problems.
The Milwaukee engineers have en-
countered some pretty stiff problems
in trying to locate line through the
country which it is their desire to
open up. One Of their problems was
how to best get out Of Lewistown and
a careful survey has been made from
a point beyond Beaver creek and near
the Odenwald ranch, on the Montana
Erailroad, to the Powell crossing of the
Judith. This offers fair grade, but
is not just what is desired. Other
difficulties were encountered in the
Arrow creek country, but it Is under
stood that they have been pretty well
fstraightened out
Down Spring Creek.
From the best information obtain
able. it is the present tentative plan
of the Milwaukee to follow Spring
creek almost to it's confluence with
the Judith and continuing north in a
westerly direction, cross Sage, Wolf
ana Arrow creeks into what is known
as "the big sag" from whence good
Advantageous.
The people of Lewistown are
hoping that this route will be the one
adopted, as it will be to the advan.
tage of this city to have the new road
run directly into town, instead OF
branching off at Beaver creek or some
other point south of this city on the
old Montana.
Rushing Hiiger Line.
| Steel is being laid at the rate of
from one to one and one-half miles
per day on the Hilger line, and with
good luck, the new burg should be
tied to Lewistown with bands of steel
by next Saturday or Sunday. Many
of the buildings up there are await
ing the arrival of material by train
and within the next ten days, it is
likely that some sort of freight
schedule will be adopted. No effor,
will be made to handle passenger
traffic until some ballasting is done
which will require three or four
weeks. When the first passenger
train goes in it will carry big crowd
of Lewistown people, who will help
the people of Hilger and the railroad
company celebrate the event at an
enormous barbecue. The date of this
function will be announced in the
near future.

BOBBY SHELL DIES
IN LOCAL HOSPITAL
ONLY SON OF WELL.kNOWN GAR.
NELL RESIDENTS PASSES
AWAY.

Robert James, better known as
'Bobbie," She'll, only son of Mr.. and
Mrs. r. G. Shell, of Garneill, died at
St. Joseph's hospital, in this city, Sat
urday morning about 3 o'clock, death
resulting from complications which
followed an attack of typhoid fever.
He had been i'll for several weeks.
Before his illness, Bobby was one Of
the most robust lads to be found any
where.
The decedent was born at Living
Springs, Meagher county, and at the
time of his death was II years,
months and Ia days Of age. He had
spent practically his entire life in this
county, his parents having resided at
Garneill for many years. He was edu-
Gated at the Garneill public school
and at the Polytechnic Institute at
Eillings.
Sturdy as a young oak, rosy
checked, CHEEKY voiced, bright be-
yond his years, fond of outdoor life,
Bobby was at the very threshold OF
what had every promise of a useful,
healthful young manhood. Affectionate
toward his parents, trained to unfail-
ing courtesy to all others, he was a
great favorite with old and young
alike in his community. Young
though he was, the loss of boy like
Bobby will be long felt in the Gar
neill neighborhood. Darkest are the
shadows in the Shell household,
where the stricken parents and sisters
will see something every moment to
remind them of their irrepairable loss.
The funeral services we're held yes
terday afternoon about o'clock from,
the Garneill M. E. church. Touching
addresses were made by the Revs.
McMann and Van Orsdel and Doctor
H. J. Betten, the family physician.
Friends from all parts of the county
were present to pay their last tribute
of respect to one known and loved by
SO many.
The Democrat joins with those
friends in extending sympathy ana
coincidence to the father. mother and
three sisters.
