Ting up the other navies in the Eu-
ropean war.
Gunner Wilson reached Richmond
from Williamsburg. In reply to a
question he said he had not been an
inmate OF the asylum at that place.
MS subsequent conversation led
many persons to believe that he had
been visitor" to the asylum.
sumner Wilson declares that he has
served In the British navy and par
ccipated in the battles OF the Mediter-
ranean. and then went to South Afri-
ca. 1t was there that he was dis
nonorably discharged on account of

the internal strifes, and got through

to do by a Mr.. Grimm.

Numbers OF persons heard him say
that he wanted to go over to the
trenches. because he could "Mght" a
gun and do much damage to the en-
envy. and they applauded his senti-
ment.
Today disinterested persons will get
in touch with people who will see
that he gets transportation to Eng
land, or Williamsburg.
The general impression was how
ever. that he was a German spy. He
stated that he had been through the
locomotive works. and knew what was
going on there, and that he was per-
fectly familiar with the work going
on at the Tredegar Works.
If Gunner Wilson does not show up
today to the people who took an In

lieve that he ID either a German spy.

EUREKA LOSES TWO GAMES
Both High School and Town Teams
Defeat Crack Players from Mont.

On Monday and Tuesday nights
of this week the Bonners Ferry bas-
ketball fans witnessed two of the
best games of basketball anyone could
wish for. Monday night the Bonners
Ferry High school team, composed
of Kent, Loughney, Bangs, Johnston
and Mcnamara, defeated the Eureka
High school team by score of 35
to 20. The game was played in the
new high school gymnasium and was
witnessed by a large crowd of en-
thusiastic rooters. Eureka had the
best of the game in the first half of
which the finish showed score of
Is to IL in favor of Eureka. In the
second half the local boys began II
find their old championship form and
made "a points while Eureka was
only able to make two baskets and a
foul. Kent and Bangs were respon-
sible for most of the scores for the
home team and Johnston and Mac
namara were strong favorites as
guards.
On Tuesday night John and Stan
ley Jarvis, Ray and Earl Heather
shaw and Eric De Wolf, comprising
the Bonners Ferry town team, de-
feated the Eureka aggregation by a
score of 20 to 81. This game was
played at Kent's hall and was refer
eed by Oliver Campbell to the salts
faction of both teams. This game
was closely contested and neither
side was certain of winning unless
time was called in the second half.
The local boys were by far the fast
est but showed lack Of practice to-
gether.
A comparison of scores made by
the local high school and the town
team against the Eureka players
shows the high school to have the
best of the percentage. This is off
set by the fact that Coach Carlson,
of the Eureka team, played on Tues
day night and was that organizations
best point-getter.

Danger Signal

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help
to put out the fire? 1t is much the
same way with cough. A cough is
a danger signal as much as a fire
bell. You should no more try to
suppress it than to stop a fire bell
when it is ringing, but should cure
the disease that causes the coughing.
This can nearly always be done by
Many have used it with the most
beneficial results. 1t is especially
valuable for the persistent cough
that so often follows a bad cold or
an attack of grip. Mrs. Thomas
Beeching, Andrews, Ind, writes:
During the winter my husband
takes cold easily and coughs and
