JOE RIVERS STARTS HARD
GRIND FOR RITCHIE BOUT

SAN FRANCISCO. June 23.-Joe
Rivers, who has been at the Ocean
Beach for the past few days doing
light training, started to work in
earnest yesterday. The Los Ange-
les lightweight put on the gloves in
the Seal Rock gymnasium and sur
Drised those who dropped into the big
pavilion with his speed and clever
ness.
Frank Carter, the welterweight
that Manager Levy brought from Los
Angeles, was his sparring partner,
and the pair went three rounds. Riv-
ers warmed up with four rounds Of
shadow boxing and was ready to go
at a fast clip when Carter stepped
, into the Enclosure. Joe stepped around
the Mexican in lively fashion and
showered blows on Carter.

NvYHAT is going to become of the
NJ featherweight division if all
the scrappers now in that class
insist upon hurdling the lightweight
fence? Ever since Wolgast got over
in the 133-pound patch and whipped
the champion the feathers have been
speedily following in his footsteps,
and to-day there are few feather
weights Of any class left. Johnny
Kilbane is the latest to announce tnat
he is planning to abandon the l2z-
pound division for the heavier one,
ana Johnny Dundee already has
crossed over. Charley White IS
matched with Jack BrittOn and Jack
White wants some attention in the
lightweight division. Within short
time there will be an awful mob
hanging around the lightweight
throne. with nobody Of consequence
left to guard the 122-pound crown.
THERE hardly is any great dan
L ger Of the division being entirely
abandoned, as in the welter class. as
there are too many good bantams
slowly growing out of the ll6-pound
class for any such disaster to hap
uen. But there will be another ROW
on between uncrowned claimants of
the vacated title if Kilbane finally
decides to permanently abandon MS
championship. Kilbane has been
growing heavier at fast rate anu

job whether he wants to or not, un-
less somebody whips him real soon.

his chances against Richie. Joe has

> Make Good Showing at Boise.

The Emmett All Star football team
acquitted themselves nobly in the
game Saturday with Boise High
school. While they were defeated,
the margin was so narrow that Boise
has been shuddering ever since. Lack
of organization and practice were the
main causes for their defeat. The
team had never played together be-
fore and the greater portion of them
had had no more than two practice
skirmishes. The showing they made
was fine and shows that McDowall
has mighty good material for an elev
en- and one that will be hard to beat.
The score was 13 to 0.
The Statesman gives the following
report of the game:
Scoring one touchdown from for
ward pass, another from the recovery
of one of the enemy's fumbles, and
kicking one goal, Boise High school
won an uninteresting game from the
Emmett town team Saturday after
noon. The quality of football played
by both teams was somewhat mediocre
and almost no new football was used.
"If there was one feature to the
game it was the plunging of Captain
Obermyer of the Emmett aggrega-
ton. Big and powerful, he punched
hole after hole in the light Boise line
and repeatedly gained yardage for the
visitors almost single handed.
"Seldom was Boise able to repel the
of the heavy Emmett stars.
The opposition probably embodied
more weight than will any of the
teams Boise will be called on to meet
this year, but the men were out of
condition and lacking in organization
and the fact that the locals were not
able to make better showing does
not speak well for them.
"Beise scored in the first quarter.
The locals kicked off, but Emmett
fumbled. Boise took the ball and
Snow punched his way through the
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1913-10-23

Emmett held the ball most of the
time. The visitors gained yardage
many times, but lost so many times
on fumbles that there was no oppor-
tunity for them to score.
"Boise's second touchdown came
early in the second half. 1t was En-
mett's ball on her own 15-yard line.
The ball was fumbled and Boise
scooped it up and shot on over the
Emmett goal line with it.
"After that the visitors continued
their policy of battering away at the
Boise line and successfully gaining
through it. The lack of organization
and drill kept them from becoming
particularly dangerous, however. Only
once did they approach within strik-
ing distance of the local goal With
some five minutes of play left, they
worked the ball to Boise's 20-yard line.
There the locals halted them and a
drop kick was attempted. 1t failed.
Boise scrimmaged on the 20-yard line
and kicked out of danger. Toward the
close of the game Emmett completed
one forward pass, gaining Is yards
on it."

Mary James Initiated.

The Mary James met Thursday ev-
ening at the home of Mr.. and Mrs
Fred Brown and were royalty enter
tanned. Three new members-Misses
Millie Hinchliff, June DeClark and
Mary Vickers-were initiated into the
mysteries of the club. An inexperi-
enced goat was used and the way he
cut up would put to shame the veteran
goatships used by secret orders. All
three candidates were loaded onto Mr..
Goat at once, and he didn't relish his

door, tore up Main street at a terrific

DEER ARE PLENTIFUL.
Hunters Return Laden With Spoils
of the Chase.

Not for many years have deer been
so plentiful in the upper country.
Every hunter that goes out returns
with one or two.
Four parties came back the past
week. One party composed of Crete
Robinson, Guy Reynolds and Charlie
Clifford came in Friday with one deer
and bear.
John Whipple, Ray Carter and two
Boise men brought back six deer, all
the law allows.
George Boor and Superintendent
Jones of the telephone company came
in with five. Mr.. Boor reports that
deer are seen from almost every train
to and from Smiths Ferry. Soon
after the train left the Ferry he saw a
big buck standing on the hillside not
far from the track and he took a shot
at it from the car window, but missed.
Elmer Holverson, in a telephone
message to his wife, says the biggest
buck he ever saw was killed by his
party last week-and Elmer has killed
some big ones in his time.

best conducted offices in the state and
the Northwest.

Tragedy at Boise.

Thought to have been stricken with
a fit of insanity, Glen E. Wardell, son
of Ely E. Wardell, killed his wife
and then committed suicide as the two
were walking together on Tenth street
near State, at Boise, in company with
Fay Wardell, sister of the dead man,
at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. War
dell fired three shots from revolver.
The first struck Mrs. Wardell in the
throat, the second took effect in her
body near the waist line. "My God,
what have l done!" the husband was
heard to exclaim. He then turned
the gun on himself and sent bullet
through his heart. Mrs. Wardell lived
but few minutes and her husbands
death was instantaneous.

FRUIT BUYERS TO Op.
ERATE HERE
Big Concern to Establish Head
quarters in Emmett
Next Season.

According to reliable information
received by The Index, one of the
largest fruit commission firms in the
country will establish branch house
in this city next season and buy fruit
direct from the growers themselves.
While the business will be conduct
ed by the Earl Fruit company of Chi
cago, it is reported that Swift & Co.,
the big meat packers, are the men be-
hind the gun, and that they will not
only buy fruit direct, but stock, poul-
try and poultry products. The busi-
ness will be in operation the year
around and will necessitate the insti-
tuition of cold storage plant.
The splendid exhibit that Emmett
had at the Caldwell fair, together
with the enviable reputation Emmett
peaches and prunes have made where
ever they have been marketed, nave
been prime factors in inducing this
concern to locate here. Representa-
tives of the company who attended the
Caldwell fair sent glowing reports to
headquarters of the wonderful fruit
raised in this section. Then followed
personal visits of the representatives
to the Emmett country. Those visits
settled the matter.
According to the information receiv-
ed all products, whether fruit or stock,
will be paid for in cash upon delivery.
There is to be no commission, no un-
certainty about the price to be receiv-
ed. If this be true, it will mean a new
era in the fruit business for the En-
NETT country. Besides that, it will
mean that Emmett is to be the live
stock market for this section of the
state.

But fortunately, or unfortunately
whichever way one is pleased to look
upon the matter, the city of Emmett
can't lawfully license them. And as
all the powers of cities and villages
are delegated powers, in the absence
of law giving them that power, the
law will be declared null and void by
any court having jurisdiction to pass
upon it. But, until the law is tested,
like many other laws that burden or
dinance books, it would be good law,
and, probably, would be as successful
ly enforced and as religiously obeyed
as the others.-Idahoan

Captain Obermyer has been putting
his men through hard drill since the

strengthened by the addition of two
heavy weights, John Carpenter and
George Boor, and the team will aver
