ness of Emmett was reduced $4,000

tire $1,000 more. Mayor Cummings

years the entire debt will be wiped
out. The bonded Indebtedness is only
$4,000, which represents debt for
which the city has value received

duds and handed the Stars a 13 to
defeat. The Stars started out briskly.
Eggleston singled through second,
pilfered second and came home when
Jordan smashed the ball for safe
one. Marker scored on singles by
Jordan and Walker. That's as far as
they got, Reynolds being exceedingly
stingy with his offerings and whiting
seven.
The Moose took kindly TO Markers
twists and shoots, pounding out 10
singles and FIVE doubles. Only five
famed. They scored l in the first,
in the second, in the fourth and
6 in the sixth. The Moose pulled off
two pretty double plays, one in the
first and the other in the third.

lodged that his departure was quite
sudden as the sheriff's Office had a

charge, but the deputy who went to
Middleton to serve the papers, in the
absence of Sheriff Breshears and Dep
uty Carmichael in the southern part
of the state, failed to make connec-
tions with the Emmett train and it is
supposed the fellow is now in St.

The Keith-Moose game tomorrow

they lose, honors will be even, and
a post-season series that will rival
in interest and excitement the Worlds
championship series, will be played.
In case of tie it is proposed to play
it off with a series of three games,
and as both teams have strong parti-
sans there viii be fun a-plenty and
some good sport.
But even if the Keith's win to-
morrow's game, they still will have
tie game to play off with the Stars,
and you can't tell what the Stars may
do to them. Charlie Vahlberg's ag-
gregation is very erratic and never
knows when it is WHIPPED.
