Don T ask other union men to
purchase your label if you do not
intend to patronize his. One label
is as good as the other and they
should all be looked after. Some
union men think their laL el is far
superior to all others and we find
that they are sadly mistaken in
this. If you are on the square you
will buy goods bearing the label
aud no matter which craft it repre-
sents.

AUBURN PRIVATE
IN HANDS
Of RECEIVER rs.

The Auburn Private bank went
into the hands of a receiver this
morning on application of deposit
tors who appeared before the
court at Seattle and had B. f..
Hoye appointed receiver. It was
represented to the court that the
bank was too small in resources
to make a profitable business and
the court was asked to have its
affairs liquidated.
1t Is expected the depositors
will all get their money.
The bank was managed by the
banking firm of Christopher,
Knickerbocker and Howard.
All departments were turned
over for assignment today, and
the bank will Immediately be
placed In the hands Of tie receiv-
er. The officials of the bank ad-
mitted lack of funds to meet OBJ
legations, but denied Insolvency,
and asked the court to take tenn
porary charge of the concern. De-
posits amount to $204, 900 and
the available cash is $4,000. Sc
curity by personal and real estate
of the owners is 100000. This
makes enough property to secure
the depositors as soon as the cash
can be realized. H. H. Howard,

Taking the first official action
since the recent agitation arose
over Stadium High school attn

at q special meeting this morning,
decided that inter-city athletic
contests would be tolerated DUR

they would be Discontinued after
commencement, June IL.
The action came today follow
ing reports last week that the
school board would restrict all
big athletic events of the coming
season. The discontinuance of
inter-city athletics In Tacoma fol-
lows in line with other northwest
cities, Spokane and Seattle hav-
ing already abandoned such con-
tests. 1t is planned that all flu
ture big athletic events will be
between Tacoma schools, as the
new Lincoln high school will be
completed by the opening of the
next term, and that after this
season the Tacoma high school
athletic stars will confine their
efforts to local championship
contests.

sturdy, hardy athletes taking part

CHILL CON CARNE, Mex, Mar.
16.-As the result of desperate
battle between two Mexican
armies yesterday, the rebel forces
of General Hottamale are almost
completely annihilated. The sol
diers of Huerta ran his brigade
to death.
The battle was fought at the
little town of Por Dios, close by
Buenas Noches. The loss of life
was appalling. At the first fire
over 500 men on each side fell
dead, and remained dead until
the danger was past. Captain Fri
joles, who comported himself with
wonderful heroism, was found
dead on the field, bleeding from
dozen wounds--all in his back.
The battle was called off last
night to give the men a chance
to get some supper and a little
sleep.
