HIGH LOST 10 BRAINERD|
uP-RIvER CUNT GOT BEST OF
ARGUMENT BY SCORE OF
sY "a TO FL

The local high school basketball
team went down for sad but decisive
defeat Saturday evening at the hands
Of the Brainerd high school nuint, on
the local high gym floor. The score
at the end Of the game was 81 to 81.
The game was witnessed by fair
sized crowd.
Fans who witnessed the game were
a trifle disappointed, as they expected
to see the local boys put up a fine
game. Their defeat, however, is blam-
ed to the lack Of competition in prac-
tice, and it is not believed that this
class of playing will be repeated by
them. The Brainerd quint played a
good game throughout.
Longlev, Levine and Grimes did
most of the basket-shootipg for the To-
calls but the others also did their share
in the scoring. Falcner, Riese and
Warner were the leading basket
shooters for Brainerd high.

New York, Aug. 11.-Acceptance BY

Cancellation averted strike Of 100000

After first refusing to listen. to the

that they, too, would consent to me-
diation, but not to arbitration.
Announcement Of the acceptance Of

g. w. Hanger, a member of the board,
following an appeal to that body to in

The federal board, which Is COM

pared to begin conferences with the

The step followed rejection by the
managers of the demands made by the

A Foe In the Household.

A Foe In the Household.
Brewster had hardly closed the doors
behind him before Ethel Willoughby
appeared.
"Oh. Henry! You surprised me-" she
said.
Il came before the Others" Street
man explained, because there is some
thing you must do for me at once"
about the feet, l suppose" she
said. somewhat YEARLY, as she turned
away from him.
How did you know" He shot the
question at her almost too quickly for
Caution. But for the moment he ex-
perienced something approaching
alarm. But her answer treasured him.
Nowadays it is only of the feet
you ask" she told him. And she re-
garded him with eyes that were pa
thetlc, IL not reproachful. Once 1t had
seemed to her that Henry Streetman
was interested in her. But Of late she
had been obliged to admit to herself
that that interest had quickly waned.
Her handsome caller paid no atten-
ton to the obvious complaint that lay
in EtheI's answer. In the most mat
ter-of-fact fashion he proceeded
straight to the business that was up
permost In his mind.
"You must learn at once from Sir
George where the ships at Spithead
are going" he announced bluntly.
"Flnd out If they sail together, or If
they will disperse-and how"
AS she faced him again there was
beseeching in her voice. her eyes, her
whole manner.
"Wait, Henry, waitv she begged. |
Before we go into that, tell me-
when are you going to let people know |
we're married."
Streetman remembered then that he |
had a many-sided role to play. And |
thereupon he went up to the girl; and |
taking one Of Ethels hands in his,
while he put an arm around her, he
looked down at her In q most loverlike
fashion.
"Ah. my deari I'd let them know
now-this minute-if only couldT he
exclaimed.
But we must announce our mar
rage at once" she said quickly.
Announce our marriage-whyT
"Georgy Wagstaf told me Just a
few minutes ago that when / said
was in Brighton a friend Of hers saw
you and me together In Paris" she re-
piled In tragic tones.
~You did not explain7" he asked.
THAT we were on our honeymoon7
No! kept my word to you. I said

him I'm q puzzled way as be left her
then and paced the floor IN a nervous
fashion.

STAIENENTSFRON
BOTH SIDES INTHE
RECALL CAMPAIGN
Mayor Robinson Asks the
Citizens of Boise to Weigh
Carefully the Charges
Against Him.

- Mayor j. w. Robinson of Boise last
might issued a statement in which he
asks the electors of Boise to weigh
carefully the charges that are being
made against him in an attempt TO
bring about recall and to calmly and
fully acquaint themselves with the
facts before reaching a conclusion. His
statement reviews his stand for har-
1nony, on behalf of the library board
and librarian and defends the police
department He admits he made re-
fractions of statements made by his
best friends, hoping thereby to restore
harmony. No homes. he declares, have
been invaded.
The Boise Municipal club also issued
a statement in which it expresses re-
gret that advertising would appear that
Is personal as well as it is charged
anonymous, and declares for a clean
campaign.
The recall people were active yester-
day and today. They have more than
enough names signed to petitions for
sthe recall of both Mayor Robinson and
councilman Eiehelberger. The cam
paign for signatures will be pushed,
however. so that each petition will bear
a much larger number of names.
Statement by Mayor.
The statement issued by Mayor Rob-
inson is as follows:

at the same time extreme care has been
dsed not to resort to anything spec

law in making every necessary search
and arrest. But in spite of all efforts
in this direction there appears to be a

interfering with the quiet enforcement

Municipal Club Statement.
The following statement was auth
orized issued by the Boise Municipal
club:
ITO the people Of Boise:
In the Capital News OF March 27 APP
peared an advertisement consisting
wholly Of TRADE Of personal abuse OF
the speakers at a meeting held at the
Pinney theater the previous day, to
consider the recall Of Mayor Robinson
and Councilman Eichelberger The
authors resorted to the familiar device
Of anonymous publication, no names
being signed to the articles.
1T Is also incredible that Mr.. Rob-
inson and Mr.. Elchelberger should have
consented to the use of such methods,
or should not have instantly and pub
licly repudiated them. There are things
to which no gentleman will stoop.
When recall proceedings against
Mayor Robinson were threatened a few
months ago, a public meeting on his
behalf was held at the Pinney theater,
at which somewhat similar abuse was
poured out on those seeking the may
or's recall. Within-two weeks the may
or had signed public apology and
regret that such statements had been
used. If he had not apologized, he
would now be a private citizen.
This time we shall not trouble with
apologies. Mr.. Robinson and Mr.. Eich-
elberger, by deliberately choosing to
accept the aid of anonymous personal
abuse, have given final and convincing
proof that they are not fit or proper
persons to have charge of the affairs
Of great city.
so far as we are concerned, the pub
lie need have no fear of this being
mud-slinging campaign There is only
one question before the people:
Are j. w. Robinson and A. Y. Eich-
elberger competent persons to be mayor
and councilman of this city?
THAT question, and no other, will be
fully presented by us in the campaign
Amy persons who believe that Mr.. Rob-
inson and Mr.. Eichelberger are proper
and competent officials and should be
retained in office. viii state their be-
lief as widely and publicly as they may
choose. without the slightest fear of
being ridiculed, condemned or abused
by us for so doing. We propose to
conduct clean, gentlemanly campaign. |
If the voters of Boise believe that Mr.. |
Robinson and Mr.. Eichelberger are
proper and competent officials. they |
should vote to retain them. If not, |
they should vote to recall them.
I'VE shall discuss no other question.
We shall sling no mud. We shall ques-
ton no persons motives. We shall give |
out no unsigned advertisements.
