NELTER joins Denver
IN WESTERN LEAGUE

Big" Steve Meter, one Of the Irri-
gators crack pitchers has been sold
to the Denver club in the Western
league He was drawn by Butte when
the Boise franchise was suspended
Meter is to report Immediately and
finish the balance of the season with
the Bears.
Dad Gimlin, Ogden manager, has
placed Pope, former Oakland and Boise
pitcher, on his staff and had him
working Wednesday. Pope looks Just
as good as ever, which is saying
great deal
One Of the sporting scribes OF Salt
Lake refers to the fall of Butte and
the Union league as follows:
The late lamented Mr. Gibbon wrote
a large number of books which, col
lectively, were called THE Decline and
Fall of the Roman Empire" Mr.. Glib
bon depicted, in graphic style, a series
Of bumps and jolts which. in the end,
were fatal to a wonderful nation.
While Gr Gibbon was the sole au-
thor of The Decline and Fall of the
Roman Empire" a good many more or
less gifted literary lights have, In the
course of the last two months, chroni-
cled happenings which are now ready
for publication in book form with the
title The Decline and Fall of the
Union League"
The decline and fall Of the Union
league has been brought about. as was
the case of the Roman empire, by a
series of bumps and iolts. Even as
Rome could not rally from the success
sive biffs it received, and at length
there remained only a fragment of its
once proud and glorious state, so the
Union league is succumbing to the
successive jabs it has and is receiving.
until now there remain two clubs OF
the six that were.

fate of every Duckling "Toots" Gard,
well known popular Boise catcher, was
one Of them "Toots' told his story in
a brief telegram to w. n. Sweet of
this city and asked the latter to adj
vance him S25 on which to get back to
Boise. Late yesterday and last night,
Mr. Sweet was busy seeing the fans
and was able to get a dollar a throw
from them to send to Gard and his
companions "Toots" says he has
played ball a long time but the deal
Butte has just peddled out to him is
one of the worst in his memory.
Instead of allowing the Boise play
ers to leave the Ducks at Pocatello
while en- route from Salt Lake to Butte,
Ducky Holmes carried them on to the

presidents of all the clubs asking them
if they would authorize him further to
attack the association treasury and
pay $21S5 in salaries to IA Butte play

Murphy says the association is respon-
sible and he has wired Secretary Far
rell of the National association, asking
him who is responsible for the salaries.
Murphy says he does not know how
much of the original $1,000 forfeit post
ed by each club remains. The Murray
forfeit was claimed, but Murphy is not
certain as to whether or not he can
grab Butte's forfeit. Murphy does not
know how much money the association
has He is not going to prorate the

TOWN BUILDING AND FruN UP
Buildings Go Up. Residence Are Be'
ing Erected, Work Plentiful

There never was a time when the
town was buster building than Il ID
now; and a large part Of the con-
struction which Is going forward d
in the nature OF public works. Many
permits for houses and additions
have been issued at the city clerks
office this spring and summer, and
carpenters and contractors have been
swAmped with work. =,
At the present time there are at
least $50 men at work In construc-
tion work on q large scale. The
paving company now has q pay roll
including fifty men, and that many
will be kept here at work all sum-
mer. Supt. 8. G. Hutchinson says.
Two gangs Of men are on paving
work today. and others Of the men
are at the natatorium site, where the
concrete is being run In.
Ten men are employed at the
southworth building now. At the
southside school house, the average
number OF men at work daily Ia
twenty-five. At the court house thir-
ty men are bIsy grading the lawn
putting in sidewalks and concerning
that place into park as pretty az
that which the city maintains. AT
the postofflce, which will be COM
pleted this fall or early winter, fif-
teen men are now employed, the ma
jority of them being skilled work
ers.
In addition, a score Of fine homes
are being built over town, and lum-
Der and material men, carpenters
and contractors, have found this q
busy season, the busiest in years. 1t
is doubtful II any town this size In
the state is as active in this line as
Abilene.
There is plenty of work for home
men to do, and all spring and sum-
mer there has been a scarcity OF
men and teams.

It was a fine evening and the roads
we're in good condition. There was

nished by p. C. Redman which car
ries the large instruments, had q
blowout near Hope. The band num-
bered 81, all Abilene musicians, and
was on time with the concert. Many
comments were received from Hope
people. They say that the band Is
far ahead of the ordinary town band
and resembles in many ways the
best Of professional concert bands
In behalf Of the band / want to

In the early history Of the county

sure, but always came to the rescue
Of each other.
He had his faults, but who OF a.

many noble traits that for him the
pearly gates shall ever swing out
no matter what his belief may have

few friends and those Of US who

Of those who have passed on, "she
