they became too troublesome they de-
cided not TO kill the members of this
party if they kept on going.
II was not long after this, possibly
four or five years when a party of
white men were masacred at the City
of Rocks, about twelve miles down the
river from American Falls.
All these murders were committed
by Bannocks. The Indians we see
around here are Shoshones. The Sho-
shones were always sociable and would
speak to you when you met them. The
Bannocks, when l came her, would
have nothing TO do with white men. If
come upon SUDDENLY they would draw
their blankets over their faces and re-
main as silent as Sphinxes. The Ban
nocks had sort of pompadour hair

SENIOR CLASS GROWING.

The senior class in the high school
this spring is the largest that has ever
been up for graduation In the county
There are six girls and three boys in
the class and according to present in
dications all will graduate. One or two
have extremely heavy schedules but by
diligently applying themselves are ex-
pected to pass the final examinations.
Commencement exercises are planned
for the last week in May. Those who
will appear on the program commence
ment week will begin soon to prepare
their numbers and an effort will be
made to make the first real commence
ment of the local high school one to be
remembered by both students and the
townspeople. Keen rivalry exists in
the class for high scholastic honors,
and the final standing of those in the
lead will not be known until the report
for the next term OF school is read.
This report will be out in about six
weeks. Ordinarily the final standings
are not so close but that the winner
can be determined several weeks be-
fore the close of school. The members
of the present class who expect to
graduate are the Misses Helen Davie.

NEW BASEBALL LEAGUE.

Blackfoot, Idaho Falls, American
Falls and the new team in Pocatello to
be managed by the Pocatello Athletic
Club will probably form the B. B. B..
circuit for this year. F. II. Hilliard
who was manager of the Gem State
team a few years ago will have charge
of the team in Pocatello and he says
that il will be strictly an amatuer or
ganization. Blackfoot and Idaho Falls
both refuse to play ball against the
team that represented Pocatello last
year as II never kept it's word and
turned the league into the professional
class with a bunch of meal ticket ball
players. Blackfoot and Idaho Falls how
ever, are wiling to play against the
new team that will be managed by Mr.
Hilliard, Mr. Hilliard's word is as
good as a bond and it is assured that
all teams going to Pocatello will get a
square deal and their part of the gate
receipts. This is more than the visit
ing teams received there last year and
the great factor that caused the dis
ruption of the league this spring. Mr..
HilliarG hopes to put his amateur team
In the field and give Pocatello strict
ly home team, eliminating the graft
that the team In Pocatello exercised
last year.

SHEEP DISAPPEARING.

Senator Houtz came in from Poca-
tello Saturday and proceeded to his
home In Rockland. The senator is
well pleased with the price OF wool, but
expects II TO go higher. "The great
ranges are gone" the senator said,
never to return. For several years
sheeDmen have been disposing OF their
lambs, and as the life OF range sheep
is only about six years, IL can easily
be understood what the result Will be
The number OF sheep is growing less
every year and this will result in high
er prices In both wool and mutton. The
American people like spring lamb too
well. and this coupled with the disap-
pearing ranges insures better prices
than have heretofore prevailed"

BASEBALL TROPHY COMES nome

The handsome baseball trophy cup
offered By Spaulding Bros. last sea
son to the winner In the b. II. h. league
arrived In American Falls Tuesday
morning and is now on display at the
Power City pharmacy. The fans In
American Falls were the last to see
the cup but will probably get the long
est look at Il.
The b. II. u. league with President
Virgin ut the helm, opened the season
last year with four good teams repre-
senting Idaho Falls. Blackfoot, Poca-
tello and American Falls. BY the mid
die Of the summer American Falls had
secured itself In birth No one and had
u walk-away for the trophy. To make
a success of the remainder OF the sea-
son President Virgin decided to spill,
the schedules of the teams and play
a separate series for the remainder OF
the summer. Local fans protested that
American Falls having secured first
place In the league was entitled to the
trophy and dispute arose. A compro-
h'eN Nas diitCttu WntTtDl tnG
winner Of the second series was to
play American Falls series OF five
games after the season had closed, for
clear title to the cup. Pocatello won
the second series and refused to play
for the cup claiming she had won Il by
virtue OF her position at the top OF the
percentage column In the second SER
les of the league
Soon after the season opened the cup
was received by President Virgin and
he arranged to have II displayed In all
the towns of the league. thinking that
by so doing he woald stimulate interest
among the fans In the different towns.
The cup first went to Backfoot where
IL was displayed for several weeks.
Then IL was taken to Idaho Falls and
left on display until the fans there had
had chance to look II over. From
Idaho Falls IL was taken to pocatello
and displayed by the Book Store Phar-
macy OF that place. II never came to
American Falls for some reason that
has not been fully explained. The
management of the Pocatello team had
possession of the cup and refused to
play for the title evidently thinking
that possession was nine points OF the
law and true sportsmanship n hobby
of the feeble minded. The SnauldIng
people after leaving the cup In Poca-
tello for six moths with the hope that
II would finally be given 10 the deserv-
Ing team, called II In to the Salt Lake
office, thoroughly dlsgusted with the
constant wrangling that featured the
close or the season and the months fol-
lowing. The cup was found to be IN
poor condition from exposure and re-
quired cleaning and retouchlng, all of
which was done. To definitely settle
the disposition of the cup a letter was
written to President Virgin for his ad-
vice. He wrote to the Spaulding peo-
pie that American Falls was entitled to
the cup and II was Immediately ship
ped, arriving Tuesday morning ad-
dressed TO +. II. Fitzpatrick of the
Power City Pharmacy. The cup IL a
handsome trophy eighteen inches I'm
height and bears engraved, the name
OF the league, the season and American
Falls the winning team.
