Alfred Evenden's Home Captured
by Bold Pirates Last Nighttime
Word Of Warning was Given the
Pastor and no Defense was Made
THE LITTLE DAMAGE AND POLICE NOT
BE CALLED ON-THE PREACHERS WEATHER EYE is OPEN
FOR FUTURE RAIDERS =

Alfred Evenden, Pastor of the Bap-
fist church, who has his home across
the bayou, phoned to The Leader this
morning protesting vigorously against
a raid which was made on his place
last night. The police will not be
called on this time-but next time
look out, you raiders!
Mr.. Evenden was entertaining some
friends last night when all at once,
and without the slightest warning,
the most awful noise was started on
his front veranda. Mr.. Evenden
thought the Germans had come up the
Anclote in a submarine and captured
Tarpon Springs. His heart was beat
ing rapidly, though he is no coward
having been a scrapper for many
wears, scrapping with his Satanic
majesty for the souls of men.
MIR. Evenden's guests did not seem
tn he excited and it is strongly sus-
picioned that they were in league with
the raiders.
Rushing out on the veranda, to what
appeared certain death, Mr.. Evenden
found whole regiment of his friends
and church members all armed with
baskets and bundles. They filed into
the house and took charge without
even saying: "By your permission"
this juncture the reverend gen.
In cooled down and as the good

things began to be unwrapped he for
got all about his scare and decided it
wasn't half so bad, after ALL But still
he was worried as he did not know
how this conglomeration of happy hui
mainly ever managed to get right up
on his veranda without his having the
least suspicion of their coming. On
investigation he learned that they had
turned pirate and captured the launch
and lighter belonging to Mr.. Alder
man, had also captured Mr.. Alderman
to act as pilot, had anchored the
launch out in the bayou and silently
poled the lighter up to the Evenden
dock and gum-shoed it up to the house.
The guests who were already there
exerted themselves to entertain the
preacher so that his attention would
not be attracted by any outside noise,
which they did successfully.
The occasion for the raid was the
celebration of the first year of Mr..
Evenden's labors in this field which
ended last Sunday week ago. We do
not mean that Mr.. Evenden has ceas-
ed his labor here but that he has done
a year of hard and successful work
and is still on the job.
Games of all kinds were INDUCED in
and fine time enjoyed by all. Mr..
Evenden has forgiven the whole
bunch, but he'll try to keep his wealth
err eye open for future surprises.

THRESHER SAVED
FROM DESTRUCTION
Town and Holland Machine Caught
Fire This Morning on Ed Martin
Ranch-LOcaI Mans Invention Ex-
tinguished the Fire

A fire starting mysteriously in the
top of straw stack On which aSF.ow-
er was playing a heavy Stream of
straw laden with black dust caused by
ened the Towne & Helland machine at
the Ed Martin ranch three miles
northeast OF Moscow this morning
A contrivance, invented by Clarence
Miller of the Empire Hardware COM
pany, for the control of thresher fires,
was given its first trial and, it is be-
lieved, saved the machine from de-
struction. -
While no evidence of the fires origin
was found within the machine, it is
highly probable that it started some
where in the rear of the thresher and
was blown out onto the stack, ac-
cording to belief stated by the own
ers. The Miller invention played such
a stream of water on the interior and
contents of the machine that it was
not possible to tell whether any of
the straw inside had been touched
by the flames. Some of the water
coming out of the blower almost ex-
tinguished the flames in the stack,
but did not reach the top far enough
to keep them from spreading.
Il just can't believe smut is the
cause of all these fires" Ed Martin,
owner of the crop being threshed,
stated this morning. II remember
that years ago we had just as smutty
grain as we have now, and we didn't
have such fires and explosions I
have seen so much smut dust in the
air near machine that you couldn't
see the machine fifty feet away. And,
until the past two years, I don't re-
member that a machine ever exploded
under those circumstances"

BEAUTY SIGHT In
NORTHERN LIGHTS
AURORA BOREALIS VIEWED BY
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE SAT-
URDAY NIGHT
Phenomena Unusual During This Pc
riOd Of the Year-Great Shafts
of Light

Residents of Moscow were treated to
an illumination demonstration Satur-
day night which is said to be a rare
event during this period of the year.
Between the hours of $3.50 and mid
night the heavens to the north were
frightened by pale yellow light
which moved back and forth from east
to west and even extending south, oc-
casional shafts of brighter shades of
light shooting towards the zenith
while the horizon was aglow with
dancing rays.
Many people were impressed with
the beauty of the sight and stood in
awe at the phenomenon. A distinct
feature of the phenomena was the gen.
tie waves of light upwards and down
ward giving the appearance of waving
grain fields, while soft shadows stole
between, here and there, an instant
later appearing great flashes as if
from giant searchlight. At one time
as the lights moved toward the south
around the horizon, single and double
shafts of bright lights shot to the
heavens while at another time the
reflections travelled westward across
the sky in the south like a mist of
white vapor.
Reports from other points in the
northwest as far east as Butte re-
corded the phenomena No doubt is
felt that the Northern Lights or
Aurora Borealis had appeared. One
explanation of the phenomena is that
the lights were caused by the flashing
of the suns rays on the great fields
of icebergs in the Arctic circle, the
conditions producing the
reflections on the skies.

Into Play
By the United Press Associations.

By the United Press Associations.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-President
Wilson planned to meet the represent
atives on both sides of the strike
question today. The railroad repre-
sentatives declared their intention of
again demanding arbitration and ig-
noring the eight-hour proposal. Un-
less the trainmen make an unexpected
move officials believed a strike was
imminent
The president prepared a new pro-
posal to the railroads. He still de-
mands the eight-hour day and is will
ing to postpone putting the shorter day
into effect until a federal commis=
sion arranges all the details and re-
organizes the railroad business to
conform to the new plan. The COM
missions work might delay the
change for one year.
If the negotiations fail President
Wilson intends to ask congress to

disputes act which averts all strikes
and lockouts one year pending an in
vestigation. He will also ask con-
gress to pass a law providing an
eight-hour day for railway employees.
President Wilson this afternoon
made arrangements to visit the cap
itol at 4 o'clock to confer with the
members of the senate steering COM
mittee and will thoroughly discuss all
the strike developments.
The committee of eight railroad
presidents gave President Wilson their
final proposal at 2:30 this afternoon.

ATHLETIC OUTLOOK
EXTREMELY BRIGHT
"HEC" EDMUNDSON, ASSISTANT
COACH AT IDAHO RETURNS
HOME
Good Material Expected This Year
Bleamaster, New Coach, Highly
Regarded in the East

| While yet early to predict the at
| hletic possibilities of Idaho university
for the coming year, the known mater
ial coming to Idaho already indicates
that every branch of athletics will be
much strengthened and with a new
administration of athletics it is ex-
pected Idaho will provide a good ac-
count of herself. "Hec" Edmundson,
newly elected graduate manager, has
just returned home with Mrs. Edmund
son, from the University of Illinois
where Mr. Edmundson spent the sum-
mer at the School for Coaches. He was
awarded a certificate in physical train
ing, football, track, and basketball
and returns to Idaho fully equipped
with all the last words in athletics.
"Hec" Edmundson is one of the
most popular of the Idaho alumni and
his selection by the university auth
critics as an active force in Idaho
athletics was haled with delight every
where. He graduated from the uni
versity in 1910 and was captain of the
1908 track team. He still holds the
northwest record for one-half mile
dash in :55. He coached two years in
the Moscow High school and for three
years was principal of the school Of
practical agriculture and track coach
at the University of Idaho.
While absent he met w. c. Blea-
master, the new Idaho football coach
and is highly impressed with him. He
states that Zupke, the Illinois coach,
says that Bleamaster is one of the
best in the country. He says Blea-
master will make good in Idaho be-
cause of his seven years experience
as coach and because of his excellent
ability in getting along with men.
Mr.. Edmundson will be track coach,
basketball coach, and assistant foot |
ball coach during the coming year.

WILSON NOTE
 BIG SURPRISE
 TO ALL LONDON

London, Dec 22.-President wilson's note is given the honor of the biggest display in the morning papers, rele- gatirg the war news to a minor place. Headlines such as President Will sons Strange Peace Essay "Presi- dent wilson's Peace Feeler," Amer ica,s Amazing Note,p indicate in slight measure astonishment caused by the communication.
 Much speculation is indulged in as to the motives or causes which in- spired the President to send such n note after his assumption of the atti- tude that he wouldc not mediate unless invited by both groups of belligerents.
 One section of the press, utterly re- jecting any idea of the possibility of peace negotiations as the outcome of the recent German note, fatly attrib- utes the Presidents action to the suc- cess of a propaganda conducted by Count Von Bernstorff in America and what they describe as the nasterly in activity of the late British govern ment The more general impression is that the sentiment in America for an embargo on foodstuffs had much to do with MT. Wilson's action. It i-/1so suggested that the President ma nave received special information from the German government and Is aware of the extent to which Germany is pre- pared to go toward reparation, resti- tuition and guarantees. |,
