PASCO BEATEN IN
BASKET BALL GAME
Big Score Run Up in Fast Game-Other
Games Called Off on Account
of WET Grounds"

The weather man had a crouch
judging from the sample of weather
that was dished out for our day of
athletic sports, for the celebration
at the birth of the New Year. Con-
sequently the base ball game was
called off on account of wet
grounds and the football game was
postponed-indefnitely. But there
really was a basket ball game.
That was some basket ball-the
score being II to 60, according to a
Pasco score-keeper. We were able
to count 81, of the sixty-and the
sixty side of it was in Kennewick =
favor. Of that score Larkin made
% on plunking the the ball in the
net. and scored some seven or five
on fouls. Tweedt made five baskets,
johnson, four, Connect two and
Boone one. i.
To the spectators, while they like
to see the precision with which
Larkin makes his throws, it seemed
as if Kennewick was taking unfair
advantage of the visitors in playing
him. Leaving Larkin out would
have made the game more interest.
ing. The four left on the team
could have won easily, at that.
| Just one thing prevented the
boxing tournament from being
pulled off according to schedule
no one would box. The weather
didn't get to zero until sometime
near morning.
i But the dance in the evening
was exceptionally we'll attended,
and a'fine time is reported.

Oscar Bowers TO Answer For Killing
Of Carl Broekey at September Term.

Oscar Bowers TO Answer For Killing
Of Carl Broekey at September Term.
Special to Times-Republican.
Forest City, June 2S.-The way 1t
now looks Judge Jefferson c. Clyde will
hear the case Of the state Of Iowa
against Oscar Bowers, who is charged
with the murder Of Carl Brockey. An
effort was made to get an earlier trial
of the case but none of the judges OF
the district cared to take 1t up out
side Of the regular terms. Judge Clyde
is assigned to the September term and
unless something occurs, will hear the
case. Attorney Bert Thompson now
says that he will endeavor to clear his
client on the plea that he shot and
killed Brockey in self defense. From
what can be learned that Is reliable
BroclSey did have gun in his hand
but he did not have it loaded and did
not have any shells. 1t Is likely that
in the trial Of the case 1t vii! be shown
that after the men had trouble over
the chickens. which caused the shoot
ing, Brockey went into the house. 1t
was not until after Bowers had shot
twice, one 1t is alleged at Brockey'
COW and once at the house. that
Brockey came out of his house. Words
twice, once it Is alleged at Brockey's
dared him to shoot, no doubt thinking
that he would not dare to do It, But
he did and a few hours later Brockey
was a dead man. Brockey had moved
into town from the country about
seven months before the shooting.
Bowers had been a resident Of Garner
previous to his moving to Forest City.

Jefferson took on more metropolitan
airs recently. thru the installation by
Captain Head Of an auto bus line to
and from trains etc. Not only did he
put on a passenger carrying machine,
but also motor truck, both vehicles
coming from the big bus and truck
manufacturing company at GAINESVILLE,
Wis. These cars are put on In connec-
ton with the regular rigs of the I'm
ion Bus line, increasing largely the
carrying capacity Of the concern. The
new motor bus is a ten passenger at
fair, and the truck of sufficient size to
do all the work necessary in that line
locally. When one considers that the
carrying capacity and speed Of motor
trucks and busses exceeds that Of
horse rigs by ratio OF to I, 1t can
can easily be seen what an improve
ment has been made in the local serv-
ice by the purchase Of the new We

succeeded In "bagging" three Scotch
collies. The three dogs answering the
summons belonged to Frank Hoard

Others in the neighborhood were shot
at on the roundup" but the marks
mems aim fell short Just what caused
the men to commit the act In open de-
fiance of the law 10 not known. except
that the dogs had q great habit Of
chasing every auto passing the farms.
Both the participants In the affair are
good men and peaceable citizens. The
ire Of the dog owners was aroused and
demands for settlement by peaceable
means were insisted upon. The men
made settlement with MCGOWAN for
killing his dog by paying him SO. The
other two dog owners were rendered
each like amount but refused on ac-
count Of claiming It an insufficient
sum. After several days parley.ng over
the settlement the matter was placed
in Justice Chambers care. Finally
.compromise adjustment Of the matter
was made and the dog owners each
received $50. Il proved y: s;::s::=:,sss
