EAST LAS VEGAS, N. NJ, July s.
The Jack Johnson-Jim Flynn AZ
round fight for the heavyweight
championship was brought to a close
in the ninth round by the state police.
Captain Fornoff of the state force,
personal representative at the ring
side of Governor Mcdonald, declared
that it was no longer a boxing con-
test; that it was brutal exhibition
and that Flynn's foul tactics made
its continuance impossible. He jumped
ed into the ring with the deputies
and drove the fighters and officials
WHO followed him to the corners
Referee-Ed w. Smith then announc-
ed that Johnson had won and the fight
was over
Flynn displayed no ability in the
fight. He was cut about the face
until blood ran down his breast in a
stream. He was utterly outclassed
from the first round on and by the
sixth was deliberately trying to butt
into the champions chin with his
head. Time after time, as Johnson
held him powerless in the clinches,
Flynn jerked his head upward. Smith
warned him repeatedly but it did no
good. In the seventh he began leap
ing upward every time he could work
his head under Johnson's chin.
Flynn's feet were both off the floor
time and again and sometimes he
seemed to leap two feet into the
air Referee Smith forced Flynn
back toward his corner half dozen
times. Stop that butting." he would
say. shaking his finger in Flynn's
face. stop it or | will disqualify
you"
''The-nigger's holding me-" Flynn
roared back He's holding me all
the time. He's holding me like this"
and he offered to illustrate on the
referee. Smith eyaded the blood
smeared arms held toward hiIa and
waved the men together again. In
clinch in the eighth round Flynn

POTLATCH BOOSTS
COUNTY FAIR

Three hundred and fifty dollars for
the Latah county fair" This is the
word sent to Moscow yesterday by the
Potlatch Lumber company, to whose
generosity and assistance last year
was due, to a great extent, the fact
that the county fair was at all posi-
BILE. When it seemed impossible to
succeed, and President J. ]. Keane
Was ready to give up and quit, Dean
Carlyle offered his crew of carpenters
from the university barns, then near
ing compl elton, and the Potlatch Lum-
Der company made such a splendid. do
nation of lumber that it was possi-
BILE to meet the emergency and hold
the fair. But that start, made under
difficulties that the outsider does not
realize, was the starting of the fair,
and made greater fair possible this
year. When w. d. Humiston was in
Moscow few days before the Fourth
the matter of a donation for the 1912
fair was submitted. The company,
through MI. Laird, replied yesterday
with subscription of $3.50. Mr.. Laird
said: Our people desire in every way
to promote Latah county, and try to
do our part. We hope the county fair
is a big success. 1t ought to be.
There is no reason why, with all the
varied resources this great county has,
it should not have one of the biggest

POTLATCH CELEBRATED
IN SPLENDID FASHION

Potlatch held her first celebration
yesterday. There was large crowd,
and during the entire day the best
of order prevailed. w. M. Morgan of
Moscow, delivered the Grafton in the
Odd Fellows hall, and the effort was
highly complimented. Mr.. Morgan
maintained his reputation as an orator.
After the races which were run in the
street up town, the crowd went TO the
ball park where PotIatch and Palouse
fought it out in a game that was as
interesting as a baseball game could
well be. At the end of the third inn
ing Palouse had scored six while Pot
latch had only two, and it looked one
sided. Then Potlatch changed pitch
ers, and for six innings Paloase
could not cross the home plate. Pot
latch added one in the fourth, and then

TROY CELEBRATION WAS
TRIUMPH FOR THE TOWN

The celebration at Troy yesterday
was one to please the big crowd that
gathered at that town. 1t drew one
of the largest crowds ever seen in
the city, and there could be no COM
plant made as to the manner in which
the celebration was handled. AS Ini-
ted States Senator William e. Borah
could not leave Washington, he did
not speak as had been advertised
that he would. Instead Ex-Governor
w j. Mcconnell, of this city, was Sc
cured to deliver the Grafton of the day.
He did so, and those who heard what
the ex-governor had to say declare
that the speech was a good one.
In the afternoon the sports program
took place, lasting nearly all after
noon. This part of the program open
ed with a ball game between Avon
and Troy. Then came the athletic
events on Main street, including races

AS the result the state secretary
wired this afternoon for additional
railroad equipment to handle the
crowd, not only from Moscow, but Col

The arrangements for the handling
of the delegation on the five big Ida

the Elks and their ladies on the Port

extent that the committee is now alb

more, and no trains ever left the state

the travellers which they carry.

Recommended for Planting Between
Trees Where LuxurIant Effect

Shrubs as well as trees have q
place in the Identification of the city

sections OF the city one often sees
masses of shrubbery in the pathways
along the residence streets. feel
certain that every one win agree that
this sort Of Identification ought to be
encouraged in every possible way.
Planted between the trees, towering
and other shrubs add much to the APP
pearance of a street. Such treatment
of our parkways need not be confined
to any particular section OF the city.
Still, shrubbery is more becoming In
streets which have wide parkways and
naturally will thrive best and make
the finest showing in sections where
most appreciated and best cared for.
Wherever such planting is done in
the residence sections of the city,
along streets where large number of
people pass daily, 1t should be con
fined to the iow-growing varieties, no
higher than three or four feet. The
high-growing shrubs form dense thick
etc along the parkway which afford
lurking places for hold-up men and
thugs. The high-growing shrubs also
have tendency to droop over on
the sidewalks, often causing incon-
yenience to pedestrians.
Such shrubs az the Thunberg bar
berries, Japan ounce, strawberries,
rugosa roses. matrimcny- vines and the
various wild roses make perfect
masses when left to grow in their nat.
urai form They should be planted
about two and one-half feet apart, de-
pending upon the size of the individ-
ual bushes. The plants should be
placed irregularly in masses, and nc
four bushes should stand in a straight
row.
