BOISE ASSAY OFFICE
SHIPS BIG SUN.

Some idea OF the activity Of Idaho
mines may be gained from the fact
that the Boise assay office recently
shipped bullion valued at $4,000 TO
the Denver mint. This is not regarded
as a record shipment, but is merely
one due to the regular course Of bus
mess. Notwithstanding this large vol
ume OF business II took q hard fight
on the part of the Idaho delegation in
congress to ssve the mint from being
closed last spring for lack Of an ap-
preparation to maintain II.

collision, its owners thru counsel. yes
terday prepared an application to JUS
tice Dunlop Of the Admiralty court de-
rnanding the release Of the collier from
arrest. In application the owners deny
all liability. The application Will be
vigorously opposed by the Canadian
Pacific Railway Company.
A private Investigation into the col
lision is being conducted by Captain

STOPS BASE BALL RAID
Judge Fosli sustains injunction Re-
.trainina "chief" johnson From
Pitching For Any other Club Than
Cincinnati Reds-Haits Predicted
Raid by Federal League.

Chicago, June 3-Judge Foell. in the
superior court Of Cook county, today
sustained the injunction restraining
"Chief' Johnson from pitching for any
other clubs besides the Cincinnati Ma
tionals and by his decision stopped
what was predicted would be biggest
raid on bali players ever made in his
tory of the game. Scores OF players
now in the ranks of organized ball, in
Guiding a dozen or more stars, were
ready to Jump" from their clubs to the
outlaw league at the word that john
sons case had been decided in favor
of the Kansas City Federals whom he
joined after deserting Cincinnati.
Contracts, it Is said, had already
been signed depending only on the
contingency that the pitchers Jump"
would be held legal.
What action the Fcderals will now
take regarding the suit could not be
learned early this afternoon for neith-
er President Gilmore Of the league, or
its local counsel could be found. The
Injunction, Of course, restrained john
son from playing only within the state
OF Illinois, but while he could have
pitched in games outside, the Kansas
City club declined to let him rather
than to take chance Of prejudicing
his case.
