In speaking of the matter later, he
said, ."rel Senator Borah for me that

work in congress and elsewhere and
my heart is with him. / am also sorry

Homeward bound. The Invest bunch
of live wires that has sizz!ed In
Boise in long time pulled out on
their special train at 11:15 O'Clock last

lie amused himself by firing squirt
gun of water on everybody within
range until all aboard vowed eternal
vengeance the first chance they could
get. Last night it came. When he
was least expecting it, the fire de-
partment was called out and he found
himself the only one directly in line
with a powerful stream from a Boise
fire hose.
While he was struggling to escape,
r. l.. Ruhie grabbed him and held
him in lire with the stream of water
until he was thoroughly drenched and
the vengeance of the boosters had been
satisfied. Nobody was more enthu-
sastic in the laugh that followed
than Herningsen himself and he en-
joyed the joke as much as any of the
rest of the Butte and Boise people who
gathered to see the fun. He gathered
himself up singing Nobody Knows
How Dry l Am
The Band Concerts.
Thousands of Boise people heard
the famous Boston d Montana band at
the steps of the new state house last
night. The streets We're lined with
people while the grounds and steps
of the capitol were well crowded.
Clusters Death" by the band, was
one OF the most applauded numbers on
thoroughly interesting program. The
bugle calls of the entrapped troopers
sounding for help. the war notes Of the
Indians closing in on their quarry, all
of the realism of the great battle that
ended In the massacre of Custer and
his men in the fight on the Little Big
Horn, seemed to be brought out by
the musicians from their instruments.

Sea- cornet solo by Professor Hol-

bers pleased the crowd and the ap-
plause followed along in quick sue
cession from one number to another
1.-THE Brandilo" >march, which the band
won $1,000 prize in Los Angeles some
time ago, was loudly applauded
. After the concert, the boosters spent
the time in raising AZ different va
rieties of fun. The auxiliary band
was a regular circus. 1t took a prom
incnt part in the antics of the party
through the night and until the
whistle OF the train called the happy
boosters to their berths and the bunch
started on their long trip for home.
