TAFTVILLE
Lisbon Fire Still Burning, but Not
 Near Any Buildings.

The fire that ragged through the woods of Lisbon Tuesday afternoon and all day Wednesday is still burning but indications are that it will soon burn itself out. The men who went across the river to fight the flames stayed there until about o'clock in the evening Wednesday, when they returned, as the houses and other buildings in that section were out oi danger. It was impossible to put out the flames. which were famed by g strong western breeze all day We'd nesday, and as soon as one place wal put out another would take fire. The smoke was thick and dense in some places and this bothered the fighter, | considerably.

Horrie one. In the last half Coach
Worthwine sent in a number OF subs
who not only held Nampa, but scored
as well.
Nampa found little consolation in
working the forward pass during the
early part OF the game Poor judg-
ment of distances and the blocking of
Boise, spoiled most of them Towards
the latter part Of the game. however,
the visitors were more successful with
them, and often gained the required
distance. Bad fumbles and sometimes
passes into the hands of Boise players
kept Nampa from getting over the
Boise line.

The defeat of Nampa here and
Caldwells defeat at the hands of

a some of the toughest boys in the

met or seen him. he knows the light
weight by reputation and realizes that
he Is UP against one OF the fastest box
ers in the country.
Montana Kid went on here with
Tommy Driscoll and defeated him in 10
rounds of clever fighting. Owing to
counter attractions the 60 was not q
profitable one from the gate end and
although the exhibition was one of the
best. few fans saw it. Those who did
as well as those who did not have been
anxious to have Montana Kid remain
here and match with some other fast
lightweight. The services of Mickey
Morton were secured and when that
was accomplished, II was taken as set
tied that some good lightweight would
be secured. Had 1t not been for the
fact that Young Dixon was at Occur

Promoter Mickey Morton promptly

at La Grande with a welterweight
there. Just as he had done prior to his
