that her aged father had died that

A. C. Wiper of this city author
ICES The Tribune to state that he
will give a reward of $500 for each
conviction procured for exceeding
the speed limit within the city of
BowbelEs. He realizes that chill
dren have been entirely unsafe In
the city at the rate the autoes have
been driven through the streets,
and is willing to do more than his
share to have this danger stopped.
The city election which will take
place on Monday Eof next week Is
attracting very little attention and

suit of the election Will be given
in the next issue Of The Tribune.
At the regular meeting of the
city council next Monday evening
the matter of granting an electric
light franchise to Harley Potter of
Portal will be taken up, and IL
same is passed construction work
will commenie within two weeks
thereafter. The people of the city
seem to be very favorable to the
proposition, and there is little doubt
but that the franchise will be
granted.

is attracting good deal Of atten-
tion and which promises to be ex-
ceedingly interesting is that which
is to take place on Saturday even
ing Of this week between S. A.

Richmond of Minneapolis. Both
men are in the best of condition,
and a. very hard fought. contest is
looked FOR. The matrhS starts Tim
mediately after the: moving p'ctu e
show, and the man getting the best
two out Of three falls will be de-
clared the winner.
