HARRY |. DAY BUYS
IN LINCOLN
PROMINENT WALLACE CAPITAL
IST PURCHASES PROPERTY
NEAR LIBBY.

Libby, Feb. 19.-(Special.)-De
have been filed in the office of the
county clerk and recorder at Libby
which confirm the news of the sale of
the Big Eight mine near Troy These
deeds show that the Big Eight Min
ing company has transferred to r. c..
McCaffrey two patented mining claims
one unpatented claim and a millste
comprising the property known as the
Big Eight mine.
Two other deeds have been recorded
in one Of these r. C. McCaffrey con-
veys to Harry l.. Day of Wallace
Idaho, a 51-100 interest in the Big
Eight, and in the other he transfers
to j. d. Finley a 14-1O0 interest in the
property, the deeds showing that Day
pays for his interest $39,231 and Fin
ley $10,769
The new owners of the property are
men of means and of national reputa-
ton as mining operators, so it is be-
lieved that the mine will be developed
and operated. The Big Eight is one OF
the most promising properties in the
Troy district and those who are fami- :
liar with it are certain that it will be-
come large dividend payer.

CLASSES TO MEET
FOR COLLEGE
TITLE
FRESHMEN AND JUNIORS TO
PLAY FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
BOTH TEAMS ARE Strong
Freshmen Have Tabor, Cummins
Denhert, Lansing and Griffith-Jun
iors Have Mccarthy, Whistler, Ger
vais, Craishead and Sheedy.

The university freshmen play the
juniors for the class basketball cham
pionship on the afternoon of Charter
day. The announcement, made yeSter-
day, has put the student body in a
turmoil and has caused the supporters
of each class to dig down after the
boarded nckels that the money of the
other team may be covered. For be-
tween the juniors and the freshmen
there is deep rivalry and the collegiate
championship. That game Friday aft
ernoon will be as fast and as bitterly
contested as any intercollegiate game.
The juniors and the freshmen have the
best basketball teams in college, but
the question of supremacy is a prob
lem after that. Both teams have var
sity stars and former heroes; each
class declares that victory win be easy.
The freshmen have big Tabor, varsity
center. as their mainStay. In the for
ward positions they have Cummins,
varsity star, and Denhert, first sub
stitute for the varsity five. Lansing
and Griffith both substitute varsity
men, Will probably be the freshman
guards. That's a mighty strong team.
The juniors have Whistler, captain of
the varsity, and Mccarthy, former
captain, as their forwards. A better
pair Of forwards never played for
Montana probably. At center they
will have Ed Craighead, who is a SUBJ
stitute varsity man. Sheedy, varsity
guard and GerVais, former varsity
man. will probably play the guard po-
sitions, There you have another strong
team. on paper the teams are about
even, the juniors having the advantage
of more experience. Pick the winner
if you can.
The game between these two teams
will furnish more snappy basketball
than the university people have seen
in a long time. 1t will be worth as
much as any college game, but will be
open to all visitors. Above all, it will
be for blood The freshmen are anx-
ious to win glory for their class; the
juniors are no less eager to crush the
upStart infants.

One or Two Spectators See One of the
Snappiest Games of the Indoor Sea-

Man Stunt.
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

The Athletics defeated the university
II to IN u snappy game of indoor
baseball yesterday. The defeat of the
university was due in part to lEergu-
sons inability to do the iron man stunt
and in part to the bone head plays
pulled off behind the college tWirler.
The game was really one of the best
this season 1t was full of sensa-
tional plays and pretty fielding I'm
til the last inning the score stood 6
to 2 and the university was in the
running.
The collegians started out with q
rush, shutting out the Athletics and
scoring twice in the first inning.
After that, though, Allen tightened up
and the college fieldcrs began to miss
the ball at critical moments. The
Athletics hit Ferguson pretty hard,
too, and ran bases at win. There
We're only two or three people in the
gymnasium to see the game, though
the contest was one of the most in
teresting of the season. The official
scorer was again absent and there is
no detailed score for the information
of the fans who didn't see the game.

that the identity of the man who first

papers that Mr.. Blossom accused the
Rube of alternating the affections of

not be afraid to leave the affections of
