stories calculated to deceive the
mind. The following bit Of local
history may be that, or it may be
true. Not having on the scene
We don't know. It is related by
supposedly good authority that last
Sunday man fell from the top OF
the concrete dam at the power house
distance OF forty feet to the
ground below, and escaped injury
because he lit in a net that had
been used to screen sand for the
concrete. This screen, like the net
used by the fire departments of our
big cities, broke the fall, and saved
breaking his neck. It is said that
on the rebound from the screen he
landed on the ground standing
erect with his hat still on his head,
and his hands In his pockets.

ATHLETIC CLUB WALLOPS
The Y. M. {. A.
First Basketball game in Power county
is won by Power county.
Navotney stars

Big Fred Navotney, ably aided
and abetted by Barkdull, Newell,
Torrance. Evans and wallace, gave
~,---osuay night, for the bene-
fit Of some Pocatello boys. an ex-
hibition OF basket ball playing that
will long be remembered by all
who saw it. In other words, the
American Falls Athletic club walk
ed around the Y. M. G. A. team
from the Gate City in a perfectly
scandalous manner. The score
was As to %, in favor of 45-and
we had the As. Three cheers.
Before a large crowd the game
commenced with the home guard on
the anxious seat. 1t was rumored
that Pocatello had brought with
them a center who could more
than successfully cope with the
pride of the Power city. The i'm
,rted individual looked taller
than the grain elevator. and built
on the general architectural plan Of
a twine string. He was right there
with the bells on, too, but he had
the hardest job of his life. In
912lo CT the fact that he hung at
Navotney's elbow all the time, seem
ingly devoting his eneriges to guard
ing the big home boy, the American
Falls center amassed modest total
of IL baskets, or "a points.
Torrance and Wallace, as usual,
electrified the crowd with scin-
tillating guarding, Barkdull sur
prised the crowd with his speed and
aggressiveness, and Newell played
his quick, accurate and heady game.
1t was unfortunate that R. Evans
one of the best players, should have
his ankle hurt so badly at the
beginning of the game that he
could not play.
Lawson of American Falls and
Farmer of Pocatello officiated in
an entirely satisfactory manner.
