Notes Of the Game.

Don Grivetti, the diminutive
hurler of Harlowton, stung the
pill for two home runs and sim
gle, driving in five runs ahead of
him. Some clouting for a pitcher.
Shook also had a banner day
with the war club getting three
hits out of four times up. One was
a peach, good for round trip.
Kropp, had a good day in the
field, taking every thing that
came his way in masterly man
ner.
Edmunds, the hard hitting in
fielder, still leads his team mates
in hitting, getting three hits out
of five times UP, but was any thing
but brilliant in the field. Stay
with them Slim.

cial Not the prettiest babies in
Montana, but the best physically
and mentally developed children
are the ones who will be the prize
winners at the Montana State fair,
September 22nd to 9th, at Helena.
The state fair is inaugurating a

receiving the support and co oper-
alton of the Woman's Home Com
panion of New York City. and of

cent annual meeting at Livingston

Mrs. G. b. Lockhart, Helena; Mrs.
a. C. Crippen, Billings; Mrs. L. =.
Safely, Livingston; Mrs. z. Ell. Nc
Carly, Butte and Mrs. E. Il. Hous
ton, Bozeman.
The county prizes for babies
which are offered by The state fair
are something new, never having
been used in other states where
contests have been held. For the
best baby from each of Montana's
thirty four counties a prize Of ten
dollars in gold will be given. This
will make $34O to be given by the
state fair management. Then the
| Woman's Home Companion gives
two grand prizes for the state, S10O
for the best boy baby in Montana
and 800 for the best girl baby.
They also give a gold medal to the

MURDERED AT GAP
A Farmer Living Four Miles South
Of the Gap Found Dead in
his Stable

through the stable iii direct range
with the. dead mans body. The
bullet mark was also traced in the
ground in the rear Of the stable.
The supposition is that there had
been a struggle over the possession
of the gun and it had been dis
charged during the struggle.
The coroner's inquest was con.
Quoted by County Coroner G.. G.
Perkins before a jury composed
of judith Gap citizens and the
verdict rendered was that Dennis
u. Lynch came to his death at the
hands Of some person or persons
unknown to the jury
The body was discovered by
Matt Bergen, a neighbor living alb
out four miles from the Lynch
farm. He and Lynch had been
trading horses and Bergen called
Monday evening for his horse. AT
ter hallooing several times around
the house and barn he started out
to look for the man and discovered
sthesdead body Of his friend. The
time was about seven o'clock in
the evening, After finding the
to
the gap and notified Deputy Sher-
iff Rice and DR.. Cans, whereupon
these gentlemen went out to the
ranch. 1T was at first supposed
that Lynch had been kicked to
death by a horse, but this theory
was soon dispelled upon a more
minute inspection of the premises.
Dennis j. Lynch was a bachelor
and had no relatives in this part
of the country. He has a brother
living near Chat6eld, Mimi, who
was notified by telegraph of the
murder. The brother telegraphed
back that he would leave immedi-
ately and that the body would be
taken to Chatfeld for burial.

FOR A CITY WITHOUT FLIES

Exclusive Service The Survey Press
Bureau)
Mr.. Fly, undesirable citizen, official dis
tributor of typhoid. cholera nfantum,
dysentery, tuberculosis, spinal meningitis,
is having the fight of his life in cleve-
land. The city has gone swat the fly
one better and carried through an early
spring Head EN- off, campaign, with
results that are nothing less than sensa-
tional
Cleveland has already been proclaimed
'fyless city" 1t is hardly that yet. But
thousands of householders have found 1t
possible to dispense entirely with screens
at doors and windows and lone fly Gre
ates more excitement now than swarm
OF flies would have few years ago. In
recent inspection of the city markets,
where quantities of meat and provisions
are exposed, only two flies were found
Two years ago there were myriads-
The Head EN- off, campaign was tried
last year with such good effect that this
year, with improved methods and not
able marshaling of forces, the war was
a still greater success
The present attitude of the community
is pretty we'll expressed in this sentence
from letter by Mayor Baker to the city
council The anti-hy campaign is a
movement OF more far-reachlng 1mpor-
tance and more promising of prolonged
life and freedom from disease than per-
haps any other single activity going for
ward In the community From the be-
ginning the movement has been under the
leadership of DR.. Jean Dawson professor
of civic biology at the Normal school,
The big emphasis has been on the elm
ination of breeding places. To be sure,
hundreds of thousands of flies have been
'swatted.' but countless millions have
been prevented, which is better Miss
Dawson began with the claim that 80 per
cent of house flies come from unclean
stables. Owners throughout the city were
forced to clean up their stables and keep
them clan. Public opinion focused SEN
timent, the board of health passed rules
and the Junior sanitary police saw that
they were enforced.

school children of the city, whether they
were members of the Junior sanitary po-
lice or not were armed bounty of
10 cents a hundred was offered for all
flies brought to Miss Dawson's office at
the city hall The campaign was financed
by popular subscription. At first there
was complaint that no flies could be fousd
but sharp eyes soon sought them out in
attic windows, harm lofts and odd, out
of-the-way corners, and they began to
pour in at headquarters at the rate of
1900 day. af
clergymen We're urged to preach Fly
sermons and many responded A picture

good effect in many churches and the
atres. In addition to Head EN- off, and

began to blossom where hy-breeding rub
bish heaps had been
When the winter campaign closed, May
10, 499,S35 flies had been accepted and paid
for-and this before the beginning of the
season ana in a city which had suf-
fered very little annoyance from flies dur
ing the preceding summer, thanks to the
anti-fy campaign then in progress.
You have brought about famine In
flies,' lamented one man who had six
chameleons to feed. MY pets are starv-
ing. There are no flies to be had about
my house and my neighbors can't seem
to help me out. I'll pay and pay well for
every live fly your children can bring
me- And he did.
One of the best fruits of the movement
has been public demand for fiy-free
stores Merchants have made quick to
sense the demand. Recently 100 Normal
school girls inspected 81 grocery stores,
confectionaries, meat stores, restaurants
and milk depots. They reported that in
GO per cent of the stores not solitary fly
could be found, in only SO per cent were
flies at all numerous.
The early spring Head EN- OFF, cam
paign is a remarkable success. Over 100
towns and cities have written for infor-
nation concerning the methods used In
Cleveland The coming year will doubt
less see the plan in operation in many
municipalities. The more commonly it is
adopted the worse luck to Mr.. Fly and all
the disease of which he Is the herald.
