BEAT THE HAIL BY SIX HOURS
Olaf Jensvold's Hail Insurance Became
Effective Six Hours Before the
Hail Storm.

Olaf JeEsvcld, whose grain crop was
partially destroyed by the hail storm
of June %. has received notice from
the insurance company in which he
had the crop insured. that the loss will
be adjusted and paid although the
policy Went into effect only six hours
before the hail storm. The policy be-
came effective at 12.6o O'Clock noon.
Saturday, June 90. That evening some
time after 600 o'clock occurred the
hail storm which did the damage.
Some of the grain damaged is in the
experimental plots of the state ex.
perimental station which is located on
Mr.. Jensvolds farm.
Mr.. Jensvold estimates the damage
as follows: Five acres of spring
wheat, IS per cent loss; Five acres of
barley, total loss; Five acres oats, to-
tai loss; 20 acres fall wheat, 25 per
cent loss.

MILES CITY SUCCuMBS TO
The UNOEFEATED CHAMPIONS
BALL TEAM FROM MILES TOWN GOES DOWN DEFEAT THE
SCORE OF EIGHT TO FOUR At MARION PARk-THE VISITORS
WERE EASY AND THE LOCALS SIMPLY ToYED
ROUNDUP AFTER BILLINGS SUNDAY.

Roundup's undefeated champions
annexed another scalp Sunday after
noon at Marion park when the Miles
City aggregation of alleged ball play
ers went down to defeat before them
by score of s to 4. The game was
very tame one as the visitors were
altogether too easy for the locals, but
Notwithstanding this fact the large
crowd of fans braved the rain during
several innings which seemed to want
10 spare Miles City's goat and stayed
to the last.
The visiting team did not see first
base until the fourth inning. 1t was
in this inning that they showed any
skill with the stick at ALL and this
might be laid to the fact that a driz-
zling rain was falling just then. Four
out of the five hits credited to them
were made in this inning, netting
them four runs. two errors on the part
of Roundup helping them on the way.
In all the rest of the innings the first
three men UP ended the spasm in rec
ord-breaking time.
The locals broke the ice in the
first by making the round of bases
twice The second resulted in three
runs. and one score was added in the
third fourth and seventh each. Bases
were pilfered by the locals at will and
with the errors made by the visitors
at opportune or inopportune times
touching the rubber was merely a
matter Of form. Miles City was sadly
handicapped by having a poor catcher.
His weak arm, together with his In
ability to hold Pitcher Jones spelled
disaster Conley. Roundup's classy
first baseman, again distinguished
himself with a batting record of 1000,
getting four hits out of four times up.
The locals are beginning to wonder
how it feels to be beaten. They could
afford to lose one game now, but at
this time it is rather difficult to con.
lecture which team in this section of

TO STOP SUICIDE LEAGUE.

St. Petersburg, July 1.-THE trial
Of the alleged leader OF the suicide
league, which it is claimed was re-
Gently started in ST. Petersburg, Is the
first step which the authorities will
take toward breaking up the organiza.
ton. Its principal promoter is very
well-known author and the rules of
the Suicide league bind each member
to commit suicide for the sheer love OF
self-destruction, and consequent sen.
sation it brings.
II is claimed that many fashionable
men aud women in St. Petersburg so.
ciety belong to the league. but they
keep their secrets SO well that all at.
tempts to catch them at sitting have
failed. Teh recent number Of suicides
in high life, however, have caused the
government to act. Some Of those who
Joined the league lost courage at the
crucical moment and retired from the
league. They are, however. bound to
silence by terrible oath, SO even
though the authorities are confident
they know the names OF some of the
ex-members they entertain no hopes
of getting any information from them.

officials from Lewistown east over the
proposed route of that road to Su-

ROUNDUP RECORDS BIG PRIZE
CONTEST DRAWING TOA CLOSE
GLE FOR VOTES TO WIN THE RECORDS PIANO BALLOT
BOX WILL BE OPENED STAR THEATRE TOMORROW

The Roundup Records grand prize
contest, the outcome OF which has been
awaited by many of the readers of
this paper for the past two months,
is now rapidly drawing to close, and
tomorrow night three of the contest
ants will receive the knowledge of
having won in the battle of ballots.
The past week has been strenuous
one for the contestants and present
indications are that they will con.
tinue their activities under high pres
sure until the very last minute More
actual work has been accomplished by
some of the candidates according to
their own statements than during any
other period Of the contest. The In
evitable result will be that there will
be some surprising results in the final
count. Every one of the contestants
who has been doing effective work
the past two weeks is not scared about
the result, but it will almostly GER
tainly mean defeat for them to quit
at the last moment. Remember that
your opponent is active every minute
she can spare and go ahead working
on the supposition that you will need
all the votes you can get.
Balloting will continue until 11:00
o'clock p. m. Saturday, July 13. While
the free dance being given by The
Record at the Star Theatre is in pro-
sress, votes may be cast right In the
hall up until the closing time 1t will
not be necessary to secure official
ballots. Fill out the middle stub OF
the subscription receipt, giving name
OF subscriber, address, number OF
votes and write the name of contest
ant on the back. Enclose this stub in
a blank envelope which will be pro
vided at the ballot box, together with
the amount the receipt calls for Per
sonal checks should not be enclosed.
Everybody interested in the outcome
of the contest is cordially invited by
The Record to attend the dance at
the Star. BE sure to be there and
learn first hand who the successful
ones are. The dance will be free.

The sporting blood that flows in
the veins of most Of Roundup's inhabt-
tants again made itself evident last
Saturday afternoon when it was re-
ported that horse race was to be
run on the track north OF town. Mer.
chants, bankers, lawyers, doctors. In
fact people from every walk Of life
were there Naturally such an assem-
blage would include Colonel E. J.
Crull, he of horse race fame. He, like
the rest, had "wended his way to the
Epworth League meeting" only to be
caught in the maelstrom of excite
ment that surrounds horse race.
But he is an authority on horse racing
and he said he wouldn't bet a Jack
knife. Profound sorrow overspread
the bunch of horse race enthusiasts
when it was announced that the race
was called off for fear Of creating an
other sensation such as Roundup ex'
perienced some years ago.

COFFEE TRUST SUIT.

Washington, July 1.-THE govern
ment will probably receive the reply
of the defendants in the governments
suit against the Coffee trust today or
tomorrow. While no one can state
positively what the reply will be, it
is predicted that the defendants will
allege that there is no evidence to
sustain the suit. and that there was
no legal service on the Valorization
committee. as only one member was
served with notice. The latter is a
knotty legal point and there will be
very little progress made, SO far as
the department of justice is concerned,
until it is settled.
The department of state is endea-
voring to get the Republic of Brazil
to make an agreement by which the
sale of coffee to the United States by
the state of Sac Paolo shall conform
to the regulations of the statues of
the United States. II such an agree
ment could be reached there would be
no case before the department Of jus.
tice and the suit would be withdrawn,
and this is known to be the attitude
Of high officials of the department.
The matter is at standstill pending
what the New York court will do when
the valorization committee makes its
answer. II its demurrer is not sus.
tanned. and the state department does
not succeed tn its collateral plan work.

to put up the big bridge over the Ju-

because of lack of men.
This is the first trip of the new
