Portland, Ore-Eighty men. women
and children. coastwise passengers
and crew, on the threemasted steam
schooner Francis II. Leegett. were
drowned when the Leggett, was
pounded to pieces in gale, sixty
miles below the mouth of the Colum-

by passing steamers and carried to
Astoria and Portland to tell how the
sea tore the vessel to pieces, and how
the passengers were drowned boat
load at time, as the lifeboats put
off, or met their fate, a little later
when the vessel turned completely
over.
Alexander Farrell, the only survivor
to reach land thus far. also recounted,
how, i'll the height of the storm, Capt.

ger. who lost his own ship six months
ago. and for months succeeding was
marooned on an uninhabited island,

did he make clear exactly the part
played by the wireless during the
storm.
1t remained indisputable and mat
ter of wonder among shipping men
that the schooner on route alive
with ships. raised only one boat-the
Japanese cruiser Idzumo-with her
wireless. and sank many hours before
any craft reached her position. The
steamer Beaver which caught the Id
zumos report of the Leggett's distress
and brought the passenger Farrell
here. said that the ldzumo gave nc
position for the distressed vessel. She
asked for more details, but got no re

Paris-The official communications
issued thus far have neglected the
question OF losses, which, in 4 fight
such as the battle of Marne covering
a front OF 100 miles, are almost impos-

Some unofficial reports have placed
the allies losses at $4,000 and those
of the Germans at 100000 in the series
of engagements comprised In the

jerome closed the base ball season
of 1914 on Friday las, by defeating
the Twin Falls aggregation by the
score of 9 TO 8. By This defeat we
tied Twin Falls for the seasons
games, making four won and four
lost out of eight games played with
our South Side rivals.
The day was perfect and large
crowd was present TO witness the
final mill of the season.
Twin Falls evidently did not come
over with the idea OF losing this
game. They had picked up a bean
pole for the third sack who was so
inconsiderate as TO bang out a home
run the first time up. This gentle
man was strange TO the Jerome fans
and needless to say unpopular with
the betting class. Remarks were
heard as 10 his shape. features. etc,
until the sixth inning when Jerome
salted down the game. \ strange
face was also seen around first. and
ii appeared that Twin Falls had in

pause here to say that Mr. Lime
Vile is young man of excellent
judgment. He did not try to stop
the ball-he was busy saving his
life, and the ball went in a bee line
to some point in center field.
Twin Falls started off with two
runs in the first, and jerome came
on with two runs in their part of the
