Umpire, Marshman Of Roman, scor-
ers Montgomery of Kalispell and Wal
lace of Roman.
Manager Carper put on a bucklng
contest after the two games were ovvr
and the double header and all brought
out a big crowd. 1t looked like
celebration in town that afternoon and
the crowd was we'll pleased over the
entertainment. Four riders entered
the contest for the purse and after all
the fun was over the judges divided
the money between Pete Roethler and
Bill Lozeau. The horses gave pretty
good exhibition of bucking and the
riders kept their saddles-although
one pulled leather to accomplish this
result.
Quite a number of Poison people
attended the ball game last Sunday
afternoon. Fans from the Mission
stayed over for the Kalispell game
also.

ALL-STARS WIN
DOUBLE HEADER

The Roman All Stars won both
games of double header played on
the Roman diamond last Sunday. The
first game was at IL o'clock in the
morning, with the Mission Reds, and it
was loosely played on both sides, with
the Reds drawing the losing end by a
score of 16 to 7.
Joe White went in to pitch for the
All Stars and retired after the second
inning in favor of Benny Hull. Joe's
arm went on the bum early in the sea-
son and he thought it was back in
form but two innings convinced him
otherwise The Reds made only one
run off his delivery but sore arm
needs care. Benny Hull pitched good
enough ball to have earned shut
out but errors allowed six runners to
cross the plate. Phil Hull pitched
the last two innings and of the six
men to face him he struck out five.
The Reds used three slab artists al
so, Peon taking the first turn and was
bombarded so hard he retired in favor
Of Campbell, who met with like fate
and then Archie Mcdonald went III
and he had but very little better luck.
The All Stars scored at will and loaf
ed enough of the time to permit seven
scores to be chalked up against them
Joe Allard umpired to the satisfaction
of both sides.

JUDGE LENTz O|SM|SSES
WRIT OF HABAES CORPUS

Last week the Pioneer told of the
issuance of writ of habeas corpus 10y
Judge Duncan of the Missoula district
court, on the application of John Lind
say for the possession of his wife
Alma Lindsay, formerly Alma Kaiser.
These parties were married in Kali
spell on July 10 and made trip to
Spokane by auto, where the former re-
gistered for the Colville drawing.
They arrived at the home of Geo.
Lindsay on the big fiat On Friday fol-
lowing and stayed at the home of the
groom's parents until Sunday July, 16,
at which time Louis Kaiser, father of
the bride sent to the Lindsay home
and induced his daughter to go back
to the Kaiser home, the bride saying
to her husband to come and get her
later in the day. This he attempted
to do, but was not permitted to enter
the premises Of his father in-law nor
allowed TO see his wife. An applica
tion to the court followed and writ
CT habeas corpus was served by De-
putty sheriff Engle, citing the father
and mother of the bride to have her
in court at Missoula on Friday last at
10 o'clock. a. N.
After hearing all the evidence sub
mitted on both sides Judge Lentz be-
fore whom the hearing was held, dis
missed the writ.
The evidence showed that the bride,
for some unknown reason, had chang
ed her mind about living with her
husband and refused to see and talk
with him and declared that she did
not intend to longer live with him,
saying when asked why she married
him to desert him so soon, that she
considered it simply joke.
The young husband felt that it was
his duty to ascertain if possible why
he was abruptly deserted and offered
to receive her back and treat her as
husband should, but his offer was
scorned and rejected.
The matter is the subject of much
discussion in the neighborhood, but no
criticism is heard of the husband.

hard they were joshed stood the gaff
and only smiled. Tucker pitched the
full nine inning and while he was hit
for IA safe ones, had his support been
little more active the result would
have been closer. The All Stars stole
bases at will, and really played the
best game so far this season. Wood
started the game for Roman and pitch
ed the first five innings and then Phil
Hull went in and finished the game.
Of the ten hits made by Kalispell eight
were off Wood and two off Hull, one
of which counted as home run for
the reason the ball was lost in the
high grass near the left field fence.
While the hits were numerous in the
first five innings they were scattered
and did not result in scoring many
runs.

SIXTEEN men
CAUGHT IN BLAST
ALL BELIEVED TO Be DEAD

Cleveland, July 25.-1mprisoned in
the new water works tunnel under
Lake Erie after terrible explosion
of gas in the tube, sixteen men are
believed to be dead.
The blast occurred shortly before
crews of the fire tugs rushed go the
outer crib, five miles from shore with
lung motors, prepared to enter the tun'
mel and rescue the victims if alive.
That any survived the gas explosion
is considered improbable. Arrange
ments have been made to receive the
bodies of the tunnel workers.

WATERS WILLING TO PLAY
FAIR BEFORE STRIKING
RumOrs of a walters strike in the
big hotels, which have been flying
around for the past few days, were
discredited yesterday by Ben Parker,
head of the Walters union. Parker
says he has been having a hard time
lately to keep out Of the traps set
for him by the big hotels, and he
prophesied trouble in the near fu-
ture.
The bosses would like to have a
strike during convention week" said
Pres. Parker. But we are going to
await the result Of a conference be-
tween the officials of the Chicago
Federation of Labor and the Hotel
and Restaurant Keepers assn be-
fore we take any action.
They have deliberately tried to
run US into a strike They know
strike at this time would not be sue
cessful because public sympathy
would be on their side. They are
making money, but so are the wait
ers, and by the time the two conven-
lions are over Chicago walters will
be able to stand long, hard strike"
Recently two hotels have granted
the requests of the union. They are
the Morrison and the Planters, and,
while both have been prevented
from signing the agreement because
of their membership with the Hotel
Keepers assn, they have granted
wage increases and remedied many
conditions. Harry NOR, Hotel Nor
rison, told the walters he'd give them
anything in reason they wanted.
After they had completely organized
The hotel they protested against
having to pay cents for a cup of
coffee whenever they wanted it.
Just to show you how fair he was
to us" said Parker, ''he now gives us
free coffee and whipped cream on it.
