Minstrel Star Comes to Isis.
1t would be a hard matter, in fact
it would be almost impossible for the
management of this popular amuse-
ment resort to secure a stronger
drawing card than Billy Beard, who
opens an indefinite engagement at
the Isis Thursday. Billy introduces
brand new screamingly funny comic,
serio-cornic, original parodies on late
popular sentimental and descriptive
songs, and in his repertoire he has
some that causes the audience to burst
into screams of laughter, and many
times having to stop and wait for
the deafening applause to cease.

Cowboys on a RAMPAGE.

Sheriff Gill and Deputy District At
torney Waldo left Wednesday after
noon on the train for Nucla where they
were called for the purpose of help
ing Mayor Pahlke of that town to up-
hold the dignity of the law against
the encroachments of Cowboys Bailey
Hurd and Joe Carver, who were close
ly associated with one John Barley
corn in an endeavor to Villaize the
town of Nucla
From the information which reach
ed the sheriff's office it appears that
the aforesaid gents took issue with
Mayor Pahlke when the latter remon-
strated with them on their conduct
and proceeded to carve the mayor up
with his own butcher knives, he being
a butcher. and the offenders follow
ing him into his butcher shop. 1t
seems that after their victim had been
more or less carved up he took refuge
in the postoffice and blockaded the
door. The cowboys broke into the
postoffice and the victim was compell-
ed to seek another haven. Mr.. Pahlke
received some ugly cuts on one hand.

BOY SPR|NTER A MARVEL
High School Lad in Spokane Runs
100 Yards in 9 As
Seconds.

Athletic authorities of the northwest
are booming Evan Pearson, junior at
the North Central High School of spo-
kane. Wash. one of the best school
boy runners in the history of COMPETE
tive athletics, and a glance at some of
the youths performances seems TO JUS
tify this confidence. The attention OF
the athletic writer's of the northwest
was attracted to Pearson by his feat of
registering 9 4-5 seconds for the 100
yard dash. This performance earned
for the youth the enviable classified
ton of being the. greatest schoolboy
sprinter in this country today.
1t was in a meet at Spokane, Wash,
on May 20, that Pearson set his re-
markabl figures for the century dash
One week later. in competition against
Washington State College stars, he
again displayed ability over this dis
tance. when he breasted the tape an
easy winner in 10 seconds fiat, having
outsprinted a large field. To add fur
Their to his performance Pearson later
captured the 220-yard event and aided
materially in bringing victory in the
relay race to his school.
Pearson is nineteen years old and
stands five feet nine inches in his
track shoes. He has been competing
in schoolboy athletics for the past
three years, and from the first he has
performed admirably. He has never
been beaten in the 1O0-yard dash, and
in eight athletic meets in the north
west he has been returned the highst
point winner. The Spokane lad in
variably contests in three or four
events on the same program, and in
several instances he has been known
to participate in five contests with
success. In the interscholastic meet
on Stage Field, University of Chicago,
recently, Pearson captured the indi-
vidual honors of the day. and it was
his efforts. mainly, which brought his
school to the second position in the
point score.

JAPANESE PRESS HALLS
NEW RUSSIAN TREATY
Regard Pact as Check to Far East
Activities of Germany and
Austria.

TOXIC. July S.-The japanese press
regards the new Russo Japanese con-
vention veritable offensive and de-
fensive alliance. consolidating the po-
sition of Japan and Russia in the far
east and checking renewed activity of
Germany and Austria. The newspapers
generally express the belief that the
terms territorial right and special
interests used in the convention are
comprehensive and comprise those now
existing and previously recognized, and
also those to be recognized in the flu
ture. The opinion is expressed that
Russia in the future will be able to
concentrate her attention on the po-
litical situation in the Balkans and in
Persia.
Interest is shown as to how the new
convention will be received in America,
but there is no comment on this point.
Baron Eiichi Shibusawa, president of
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Association,
couples his congratulations to the ma
ton with an admonition that while
shaking hands with a new friend Japan
must not forget or slight her historic
friendship with America.

thwart all German intrigueS for sub
sequent war. Furthermore the mainte-
nance of peace in the far east must
fall more heavily than ever upon the
shoulders of Japan and Russia.
ut is learned that the entente has de-
cided upon the exclusion in future of
Germany from the quintuple coalition
regarding China and that it has been
decided TO sound American financiers
regarding the active participation of
an American loan to China for the re-
organization of the republic"
The treaty was drawn up in the jap
anese and French languages, but not
in English.
