on the Colville diamond with the
Clarke & Bevan aggregation OF
Spokane on Thursday, July %.
This team, which is being
financed by the Clarke & Bevan
billiard hall, and stands next to
the True Blues for the Spokane
championship, will stop in Col
vile on the above date on their
return trip through British Co.
lumbia. The game will be called
at four o'cock.
Last Friday Manager Dexter
received a wire from Rossland
canceling the games with the
Colville team which was to have
been played Saturday and Sum
day with Trail and Rossland. The
reason for canceling these games
was on account of the incessant
rain the previous week. Arrange
ments have been made for Col
vile to go to the mining town
for a game Sunday, Aug. l.
The fishing and camping party
consisting of Captain Sill, Burr
Winslow, Paul Sax and Ted Rich
ardson, who spent last week on
Deep creek, returned Monday
afternoon. From reports the
boys caught on an average of
two fish per day each while on
the trip. Saturday morning the
quartet agreed to hike to Ross
land by way of the power line
where they expected to meet the
Colville ball team. After follow
ing the power line for Is miles,
and a mile high, they were dis
appointed to learn that the game
had been called off and that it
would be impossible for them to
return until Monday.
The lone News says: Col
vile is pretty punk baseball
town, lone thinks. We here dug
down in our jeans and produced
the hard cold cash with which to
bring the Colville boys here to
play, during the spring. and
showed them as good a time as
we could, but in return the team
here was notified that Colville
couldn't make the financial rifle
and for that reason there would
be no return game between lone
and Colville, as promised. The
disappointment is keen, in lone,
and while the blame doesn't
rightly rest upon the Colville
boys themselves, their town
ought to develop little stronger
civic pride, and not let the idea
get out that they were too close
to raise. money enough to square
off their rightful obligations in
the matter of baseball games.
Charles j. Eckert, a pioneer of
Kettle Falls where he has operat-
ed a flour mill on the Colville river
was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
w. W. Bryant on an information
charging him with maintaining
a common nuisance in certain
buildings wherein intoxicating
liquors were kept and harbored
for the evident purpose of SELL
ing or giving away contrary to
law. Eckert's hearing was We'd
nesday, and upon the defendant
admitting his guilt of the henious
crime of keeping and selling
hard cider denatured by mixing
with mother of vinegar, he was
fined $66 60 and allowed TO re-
turn to his home. Eckert has
been guilty of operating a cider
mill at odd times and furnishing
his customers with vinegar. The
court ordered the liquor seized
by the sheriff and held until
it turns to vinegar, when it is to
be returned to the owner.
